I love to shop. The word SHOPPING in the title of this post is what drew me to reading this one in the first place. SHOES would be another attention grabbing title. Let me clear up the female shopping thing as I have for my husband. We have two types of shopping. 1. Task shopping 2. Recreational shopping. Task shopping OFTEN turns into recreational shopping, without any given notice. I do have one issue with men (or at least the one I cohabitate with) and food shopping. They take no list, insist they can remember everything without it, yet always come back having forgotten at least one thing.

1. Task shopping
2. Recreational shopping.

Task shopping OFTEN turns into recreational shopping, without any given notice.

I do have one issue with men (or at least the one I cohabitate with) and food shopping. They take no list, insist they can remember everything without it, yet always come back having forgotten at least one thing.

Love your diagrams!

Your article was written with great humor and facts. I can't stand shopping with my friends or family.. I like to get in, get what I need, and get out. Life is too short to be standing in the halls of a store looking at things that you can't afford anyway. I'd rather read a book or blog, and have a nice leisurely nature walk.

I couldn't agree with you more! Although I am a woman, I do not like shopping with other women, "So why are we in Kay Jewelers when we came here for a shirt?" When I shop , I go, I seek, I find, I purchase, I leave. No need to drag out this annoying experience anymore than necessary, too many ignorant people out in the public. Although, I can say, if a guy does need a woman's perspective, I am always first pick!

Like the Mac store. Or Circuit City. And for some, the adult video store. Now, I'll take Nordstrom over any of those any day :-) (or most days. I do like the Mac store.)

You should know better than generalizing about women, especially when it's a criticism! With all the ladies in the blogosphere, you could be lynched. Remember Motrin? :-) Now, I happen to be a great shopper. Sure, I like to browse sometimes, however I tend to have a very specific list and I can be in and out when I'm short on time or just don't feel like browsing. I make two kinds of shopping trips: 1. when I'm shopping for something specific, 2. when I just want to look. # 1. includes shopping for clothing, birthday presents, grocery shopping and Christmas shopping. Christmas shopping especially I like to do on my own, go out with my list and just get it all done in one go, usually at the end of November. #2 is usually when I go look at shoes and makeup, which is when I do NOT take my husband with me. 'cause I know I will want to browse and possibly try several pairs and he'll be bored. Oh, and sales. I will sometimes hit the sales and see what I can score, but I usually have some sort of list then, too. Oh, you.
