Why do women love shopping so much?

That is; they don't seem half as excited or satisfied with the crap they buy as they are about the prospect itself of going shopping. Why is something so intrinsically pedestrian seen as sacred by women?

Meh... I personally hate the idea of going clothes shopping, I'd rather go grocery shopping. But maybe that's just me.

Because the problem with using reverse psychology on someone who is already backwards is not only doubly effective on someone who was twice as disorientated as you are now and probably always have been.
In-built hunter-gather instinct from cave man times. Wide range of food = healthier diet. Chaps out chucking spears at running things, girls browsing for different coloured berries. Explains a lot.
Because I love new things - shiny, new, pretty things that smell of department stores and clothes shops.

It just makes me happy :biggrin:.
I hate it most of the time.

They were probably dragged along by their female parent.
And so on. It's da parents that perpetuate the gender roles.

Your screen name is bad for my hay fever means you have to go away and leave me alone. Your glorious presence and thought-provoking contributions, however, are not to be sneezed at.

Your wish is my command.

I don't think there's anything wrong with liking new things. It doesn't mean I always indulge. I just like them.

Exactly lol. The worst thing is when there are clothes all over the floor with the store being messy, and then having to deal with rude shop assistants or over happy chirpy ones, urgh and don't even get me started on the price. I'd pick quality over quantity any day but £40 for a T-shirt? I'll pass. Oh and who can forget about the people barging past you and stuff. Absolutely ridiculous. Food shopping is more of a thrill haha!

/Rant over.

Social anxiety.
It's because I like having new things, even if it's as small as new pens or stationary :colondollar:
