Men in Victoria's Secret

I have a theory (based on observances and experience) that several people have said I needed to blog, so here it is. It's definitely not organized, but I do think I make some sound general points.

Men (who are heterosexual and have no 'issues' with sex) generally like seeing their girlfriend/wife/etc. in pretty underthings. However, they will rarely venture into what I'd like to call "the estrogen bubble" on their own.

Usually, men are dragged into Victoria's Secret by their significant others, who want to shop and buy pretty underthings. While the ladies are busy trying on/looking at/etc. pretty underthings, the men are busy (uncomfortably) trying to look interested with the merchandise without appearing peverted to the rest of the world. If more than one man is in the store, they won't acknowledge ever seeing the other men. In fact, I would guess that 80% of the time men's eyes are on the hot-pink carpet, because it's the only "safe" thing to look at.

Did I also mention that they probably do this while holding their lady's purse?

After the men are allowed to leave the store, they now get to hold the pink shopping bag the size of a medium dog.

Ladies, if you can get a man to do this, it truly must be love.

If a man happens to venture alone into a Victoria's Secret (presumably to buy something lovely for his woman), he will never, ever touch the merchandise. He will wait until one of the helpful saleswomen approach him, and unless he knows his lady's sizes, will say that the size the saleswoman wears is the size his lady wears. Invariably, he'll point out what he wants and have the saleswoman fetch it off the rack for him.

This poses the extreme irony that Victoria's Secret ad campaigns are definitely targeted toward men, especially with slogans such as "Buy Me Sexy" (which I just realized is a double entendre).
