Despite the exposure to Internet and to the cultures of the west, people here generally are still quite reserved when it comes to inner garments.
Some girls are still shy about buying underwear and some guys will avoid shopping for them with their girlfriend, which accounts for why we hardly see a woman with a guy in tow at a lingerie department, let alone have him help pick our a piece of sexy lingerie. It's a bonus just to have him wait at the far end. Little wonder online shopping is fast catching on here.
There's a great scene in the movie "Enemy of the State" where Denzel Washington's character tries to buy his wife some lingerie as a gift. He ends up saying, "I should have bought her a watch."
ReplyDeleteRight on, Denzel!
