Men and Women are so different

And the manner in which they shop? I don’t ask, but here’s what I might hear as they ready for shopping safari:
“They’re having a sale at…..”
“I’ve got an additional 30% off coupon.”
“I have an additional 20% off my last receipt is I use it by….”
Now, they may not even have an item to purchase in mind, but that coupon expires by the end of the week and letting it expire unused is unheard of.

So, so true! :bigsmile:

They’re gone all day. Here’s where I’m lost, because I don’t ask what they’ve done while they are out. But, they might come back with 3 bags, several items, and, they want to show every single one to me. I get a rundown on the reason they bought these particular items:
“This matches my magenta blouse.”
“I needed these shoes for so and so’s retirement party.”
“You love the way I look in the red one, so I got a matching blue one.”
I haven’t even scratched the surface.
Oh. They don’t tell you how much they spent. Not that I care. What they tell you is how much they saved:
“Combined a 1 day sale item with my BOGO and the 20% coupon. Saved $17.00”

I almost spit my water out on the keyboard reading this part! Too funny, and true again! Ahhhhhh I'm dying here!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

And "Mr. Dog"--you are awesome ;-)

Uh, this is pretty stereotypical. And not true for me at all. I think you're making it seem as though women don't know how to handle money. Well, maybe that's true about some women, but for the most part they're practical and capable.

As he said, this is an observation of the women in HIS life. If you're going to read a post, read it in its entirety, or don't comment. You end up looking silly.

Now, I do not go shopping very often. This is just how it works when I do. Also, I handle my money well, know when I can and can't spend it and on what I can and can't spend it on. I also put money into savings (actual savings, not "saving up for this", although I have one of those, too). Just sayin'.

Uh, this is pretty stereotypical. And not true for me at all. I think you're making it seem as though women don't know how to handle money. Well, maybe that's true about some women, but for the most part they're practical and capable. Men, on the other hand, can't read faces or body language for beans and therefore tend to communicate poorly. If you ask me, it's men who need women, not the other way around.

Anyway, I hate shopping so this certainly doesn't apply to everyone.

First of all, I said right up front that I was talking about MY observations about the women in MY life.

Second of all, it was meant as an antecdotal funny story.

Thirdly, the women in my MY life are MY life and make their own decisions always with MY total support.

Fourth, lighten up and relax. I wasn't putting women down. No need to forward my story to Gloria Steinem.

I wish we could start a poll. Does this site have the software capability? Because I am one of the women who hates shopping. A long time ago I suppose it was a bit more fun, but now I consider it exhausting and tedious. I buy everything I can online. And usually I know what I want before I search for it, and I may or may not buy it. Then if I cannot find exactly what I am looking for I don't buy anything. I also believe in spending the money to purchase nice things that will last a long time. 120 for my work shows, last pair lasted 7 years. Why not.

I love shopping my frustration is that I never can find anything that fits right so I give up and don't go. It doesn't help that I am 6'0" and have a 36" inseam so that makes it difficult. Find me a store in the mall for tall women and I am so there all day probably buying them out LOL!

Love this post! I am not really a shopper. I shop more like a guy, but with my girls getting older, we take my mom shopping and I enjoy the social aspect of it...especially the Starbucks!

I absolutely LOVE shopping, but alas I'm surrounded by men :sad: my husband and four boys. I do have 3 sisters, but we're all so busy we can never find the time to get together. Guess I'll have to work on planning a shopping trip!

So funny...you just described my weekend shopping trips with my mom perfectly!!

This is funny, but so true!

I look for the sales person and ask for the directions.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I second this.

:laugh: :laugh:

This is all so true!

If, for some reason, I get home and decide in a few days I don’t really like it, do I take it back? Nope. I’ll be polishing my motorcycle with it.

^ And I can only say...what else would make more sense than this? :glasses:

Here's my shopping quirk. Every spring I go on line and buy all new socks and underpanties. Then, when we go on vacation, I take my old ones with me. Each day I toss what I wore that day. When we get back from vacation I open up all the new stuff.

I don't think I have ever laughed as hard as I did when I read this! love it!

Also, I used to love to shop, until I gained my weight and nothing looked good. So once I am down to my goal weight, I look forward to some shopping!

i don't get the female shopping thing either. i shop almost EXACTLY the way you do. if i can avoid going to a mall- i do.
i love online shopping!

This is just hilarious.

Had me balling :laugh:

I've encountered both...I love the quick shopping women though.
I can do the shopping thing w/ her for a lil while but after a while...im ready to GO lol

Good one man lol
