Whoever said that "chivalry is dead" obviously hasn't heard about the newest relationship joke called "Miserable Men." It collects and posts funny memes and photos of the best husbands and boyfriends shopping with their significant others and the all-consuming agony they endure. Why? For what possible reason could a man spend hours sitting on a bench, no more comfortable than a thin pole while their ladies are on a shopping spree? For love, of course. Because you see, as much as these funny men despise going to the mall, they love their partners even more. As the famous song by Meatloaf goes 'I can do anything for love, even wait for you while shopping.'

I hate shopping too. My husband likes it more than me.
Load More Replies...Totally ignoring the line up of sexy women's underwear, and a giant poster of a beautiful model? Yep, they do love their women.
Or their women would lose it if they looked. True story of my UK City; shopping centre had a busy coffee shop. Then victoria's secret opened opposite. Coffee shop is now shut as the only people that constantly want to look at pics like that are not the sort of customers you want.
Load More Replies...Why don't men and women shop separately? If I was shopping with my SO, I would tell them to go to some store he likes and we'd plan a spot to meet back up.
From personal experience, three reasons. 1 - Mutual support (my wife likes the experience of shopping as a couple). 2 - I get all my shopping done much faster. 3 - I will probably be paying for most of the shopping.

Juro- @BoredPanda Can you please create a way to report spam !!
Load More Replies...I hate it when women have to have their guy with them shopping. Are they afraid to go by themselves ? The only man I want shopping with me is a gay one. The rest of you all please stay home.
If you want a gay to accompany you every time you go shopping, you must be really weird to be surrounded by only gays! And, do you think straight men not accompanying their wife/lady partners while shopping, stay at home? Grow up woman.
Load More Replies...When my daughter goes in that store, I stand outside, scowling. So it's not only men.
Now that was funny! Thanks for the chuckle Boudica.
Load More Replies...just left behind when their wife saw them like this, no hard feeling, the security guy will wake you up ;)))
Although they may have been bored , they certainly are not miserable. Actually, they both look quite relaxed and content, lol.
How long has he been there? His mother dropped him off there in 1953 and never returned.
Load More Replies...Someone isn't a fan of ikea! That or he got lost and gave up trying to find his way out alone
How the heck did he get up there and is this the father of that kid calling for his dad at Lowes?
Laughed out loud a work, very funny. Maybe Lowes kid's Grandad!
Load More Replies...Looks like Walmart. He probably lost his wife, and they'll soon announce that his wife is waiting for him at the front door. No, not that door, Dave, the other one.
How is he even balancing? The shelf looks slightly crooked....or is that the camera....
Boy the guy in the chair seems really pissed he got roped into shopping.
Haha, that expression of his face. He is like "she said it will be 15 minutes max but that was yesterday."
My mother brought me here to go shopping 50 years ago... she's still here somewhere.
He should've made a date to collect her...like same time next year!
Man: "if this 'shopping' continues, your bank account will soon be as dead as my happiness."
Omg! I know exactly what happened here. She only dragged them along so they could watch her stuff while she shopped more.
Love this guy. Totally has the right idea. Pic made me giggle a lot. Bless his heart.
His soul left his body and stand beside him (water out of the fountain looks like a human shape).
not related with the post but i'm from puebla an state from mexico and that fountain it's from a mall called Angelopolis, for me it's funny because i'd never tought that i can see my town in a post of bored panda lol
I love this guy. Lying down next to a water fountain. Definitely better than a store.
Made me laugh. He was courteous enough to take off his shoes. Am sure they're shorts not boxers. Give the guy a break which is more than his shopping partner seems to be doing.
Sorry, boys, no steps are left, you'll just have to hang in the store.
Forget it fellas- them ladies will shop till kingdom come. Go home, take a shower and come back tomorrow..
Because stores secretly release a female hormone into the air that forces women to try everything on three times.

Fun fact: humor is a valued characteristic in Judaism.
Load More Replies...Amen. Anti Semitic bs on bored panda. Take your hate somewhere else. He obviously loves his wife or daughter enough to subject himself to enough shopping to fall asleep on the couch. That's commitment whether you like religious Jews or not. Go somewhere else. I worked with concentration camp survivors like him. Have you?
They always post such comments,I always report them and somehow they never get deleted
I've reported it too, maybe if we all do they'll actually pay attention. He should have his account frozen for that!
Load More Replies...What are you doing Bored PAnda. Why do you let the post of this f*****g antisemitic a*****e
After 40 years of wandering the mall, Davey was called home to rest. Sofa, so good.
I couldn't put my face where thousands of strangers' asses have been.
Woman may complain about not enough washrooms.. but men complain about no where to wait while the wife shops.
That would be me. I always sleep in weird positions. Plus my mother who "hates shopping" spends ten times longer than I do everywhere XD
I'm sure they do, just not enough in numbers or distance.
Load More Replies...One guy on the stairs is definitely praying for divine intervention.
Can't this mall afford comfortable benches or some kind of seats? I mean COME ON!!
This looks like an album cover. Their band is called The Forgotten Husbands. Their greatest singles are "She Said 5 Minutes (Three Hours Ago)", "She Took My Credit Card" and "I Could Be At Home Watching TV".
Now I understand where they got the inspiration for the song "It's a Men's World"
Let's face it, they'd be playing with their mobiles (cell phones) anyway, so I doubt they're too upset.
Some shops in Germany have "men nurseries"upstairs where they can play pool and socialise!
Little boy lost. His mom got so excited shopping, that she went home without him.
Wait a minute there while mummy tries some bra's.....and the minutes passed...and passed
My mom made us guys go clothes shopping with her. She finally stopped when she noticed that I noticed the sexy pictures of the underwear models
Mensch. Nothing more attractive than a man who is not afraid to hold his wife's purse.
I always make sure that my girlfriend chooses purses that looks good on me since I'll be the one carrying it XD
Bully for him. Another mensch. Kudos to the dude who always makes sure his girlfriend's purse looks good on him because he always ends up carrying it. He's another man!!
Silently reciting the Psalms by heart would be my guess.

Those are some scary looking manikins, you sure the child hasn't fainted in shock?
Poor lil guy must really be tired to lay on that hard surface, near those creepy-a*s mannequins & go to sleep! At least he has his new bear to cuddle!
Maybe it's a timelapse of the same guy waiting as he ages.
Load More Replies...They're all members of the Happy Wives Shopping Club. They are always promised a visit to the local Bar and Grill after the buying spree is over.
Second from the left looks so nervous. Like he gave his S.O. his credit card and made them promise not to overspend... But he just saw them walk by with an armload of expensive stuff. Either that, or he's a newbie and he believed them when they said they would be back in 5 minutes.
Wow I really thought that was George Lucas. It really looks like him. If I was at that store I would said. “Are you George Lucas?”
Pretty soon the intercom will announce: Walmart Sleepers ... awaken to a better deal!
Except that I think that's supposed to be an ampersand (&). Course, I could be wrong, I have been wrong before?

Service dogs. To help keep him calm when he finds out how much she has spent.
Load More Replies...LOOK AT THOSE HAPPY FLOOFY CLOUDS I WANT TO CUDDLE THEM RIGHT NOW!!!!
How. Can. You. Be. Miserable.... With those two doggies on your lap!!!
Love this guy. Really? Shopping with 2 dogs? At least he's not asleep and probably won't have to wait too long because the dogs can't. They're his exit door.
Sitting on the stairs is only acceptable if the stairs are really wide. Now these people are blocking these stairs too well...
Probably hoping the store will kick him out :)
Load More Replies...And he will have to help carrying many of them
Load More Replies...Ok. Two things. 1) There appears to be a rolling suitcase in the mix. Not a big deal, but it looks like it has an airport luggage tag on it. Some airports are built like shopping malls and some people actually shop in airports while travelling. This might be an airport. 2) That guy looks just like my Dad. My stepmom was one of the crazy people who shops while travelling. In conclusion: I wouldn't be shocked if this was my Dad. (Unfortunately, I can't ask him. He passed away a few years ago).
I think this man is strategically trying to figure out how to carry all those bags and push the carry-on luggage up the stairs. Talk about a work out! Sheesh!

When Conner was asked what was his worst beat down, he pulled out this photo.
Update: It is him! Tattoo left arm and chest/neck match!
Load More Replies...I'd love more information about this picture, because if that's NOT my dad, I'll eat my hat.
That handbag doesn't even go with that shirt. And I bet the shoes don't match, either.
someone please check if einstein and marlon brando are still breathing
Whenever I just so happened to get dragged along on a shopping trip with a friend, it's a regrettable experience for a girl.
Load More Replies...He doesn't even look like he's checking out the pretty girl outside. He looks like he's just done with women.
This is how I look while my husband is trawling the hardware store!!!!
Is this photo taken in Spain? because I recognize a bag of "El Corte Inglés" hanging from a lady's shoulder.
it could be Portugal though -.- we also have corte ingles AND miserable husbands ahah xD
Load More Replies...Poor dude. Bad place to nap. Yup, she's got more to try on. Me? I'd leave her there and I'm a girl, walk around, come back, walk around , come back. That's just selfish. I would never subject my boyfriend to this. I love him too much.
Bored to sleep, would be better off with the guys and a good cold beer, that's the quality and quantity of his love.
My husband when I’m shopping at Savers. Or than he’s MIA because he found a brewery around the corner. 😂
"Victory is yours", the sign says....apparently not for that guy. :D
Please god, make her say "I like these" once and for all! I've got a splitting headache
Is this a new way of scaring the sh...out of his wife? It looks creepy enough to do so
Actually, they're perfectly happy!!! Probably don't even realise their wives are not there!
Thinking how much more fun this would be if a pool table was involved
He's waiting to get the same number of bags on the other side to have symmetry
Then he should just sit in the middle of the bags he already has......

Do all men sleep with their mouths open? the majority of men on these posts do.
Doesn’t look like he is wearing something under his shorts! Yes I looked twice to make sure!!!
At least he had the consideration to take his shoes off. I say Two Toes up for this guy!!
I was thinking Uncle Joe from Petticoat Junction. uncle-joe-...aa3efd.jpg
This is just too sad! Take these husbands home for God's sake! Go shopping later
he blends in (his wife leaves him at the store 1 minute later get over here i need more money
I wonder how many men get bugs in their mouths? his dentures are going to fall out
The first thing I noticed was that Cloé store in the back. Where was this photographed?
It looks like he's about waiting for the next shopper to walk by and trip them. The way his pant, shoe, and sock are... if I weren't looking, I might fall flat on my face. :) :)
What a great husband and guy! He's not only trying to stay in spirit but also holding on tight to the purse. Good for him! :) :)
I always do my shopping alone and I take my afternoon very quiet! Why do women impose such boredom and discomfort on their companion? Estimate a reasonable time for your purchases including fitting and add an hour more to be well relax. Get driving to the mall and be on time when your man comes looking for you. And if it must take four hours, well take them, your companion will be happy to be quiet! ;-)
They are all so funny. When I visit my brother and he takes me shopping he dose the same thing. I thought it was only me LOL
is that a girl if so it is the guy shopping this time!!!!!!!!!
Well that prove most middle-aged men are all the same,do they think stuff just falls from the sky,their partners must get fed up too.
Alright, I just gotta know....doesn't anybody sleep with their mouth actually closed?? These people are about the last things I'd want to see when I go out
Don't worry Marja, I wouldn't try to sell you weight loss supplements any day. You're beautiful and you at least know how to spell.
Load More Replies...I know some people will get mad at such a comment. For me, time spent with my love ones is too precious to just hand arround on some dirty stairs browsing social media. Thus, what is wrong with the couples to treat each other like this? Ignoring her and showing the boredom, and ignoring him while it apparently is too much. Just sad.
You can love someobe and not need to be near them 24/7. Trust me, their significant others are likely to be glad hes off sleeping somewhere.
Load More Replies...This is unfair, not all men hate shopping. Actually, my husband loves shopping and I'm the one who hates it. I don't sit around moping though, I push through because it's fun for him.
Same here. I'm a woman who hates shopping but I married a male shopper and have been involved with several male shoppers. Ugh.
Load More Replies...What is this all about? I've been married 25 years and my attitude is that if we are shopping for stuff we need for the house, presents for friends, stuff for the children, or stuff for you then you'd better be engaged and involved and not leave it all up to me and act like a martyr. If I'm just after stuff for myself why on earth would I want to take a third party? Makes no sense to me.
aw, i love my husband...when we shop, he'd rather walk with me and chat instead of sitting being bored...doesn't matter what store we go to <3
I have never understood this, are the women threatening them to come with them? Otherwise, just stay home! If your wife wants you to come, just say no!
That´s why I go shopping on my own. I like to see everything once and twice all over again just to make sure xD I´d rather be alone so I don´t have to see those faces.
