Ran across this (thanks to Suburban Blight)...
There is a bar in Hamburg Germany, where women can drop off their husbands while they go shopping for the afternoon... Now at first glimpse, I'm offended by the idea they are conveying with this... However, then I sat back and thought back to shopping with girlfriends in the past, and said, hey, wait, this is what I wanted to be doing... If someone wants to slap a name on it, and market it as day care for their husbands, who cares... The end result is the same... Sit around, have a meal, a couple beers, probably play some bar games, and there is talk of slot car races and such... If the women think they're winning in this case, rock on... I can't tell you how much I hated waiting around while garments were tried on... How many bloody pairs of shoes does a woman need, let alone how many she looks at... I don't want to go look at the crap dust collectors that are "cute" and make a house "homey"... Hell if I decide I'm going to start playing the dating game again, I'll be looking for one of my pubs in the area to start one of these deals... Though I somehow suspect that the woman I would date would be smart enough to see through the scam... lol...
