very primal...
while the men hunted the wooly mammoth, the women foraged around for edible roots and fruit..
the men had a target... the women had to go to as many bushes to look as possible -
And that's the way God made men and women... so that both can have a good relationship, interdepending on each other.Originally posted by the Bear:very primal...

Men hunted for huge meat, keeps everyone full and happy. Women searched for little delicacies to make the meals interesting.
C'est la vie!!

I believe it's good for shoppers to have a mate who dislikes shopping because that leaves more storage space for the shopper.

that all depends on the definition of "better", right?

So, what happens when suddenly, that one pair becomes damaged and you're caught outside and it's past midnight and no shoe shops are open? Walk around barefoot? -

Trust me, I don't own that many pairs of shoes only because I'm limited by size. Local shoes aren't wide enough for me. 
I wish I had smaller feet because there are sooooo many preeeeety preeeeeety shoes around that I cannot buy!! My ming4 so ku3! -
Precisely! 'Better' in terms of WHAT?Originally posted by neuros:that all depends on the definition of "better", right? -

But when men and women go shop together, men would go crazy waiting.... waited once, mum buying clothes, average of one hour per article of shirt.Originally posted by Rhonda:Men shop with a purpose, they 'go for the kill', BUT, they forget to calculate the benefit-cost-ratio! Like a typical predator, once men have zeroed in on a prey, they forget to consider the 'how much', the 'special bundled deals', etc. They also don't wait prudently for some sales where discounts will be offered.
There are also men who shop for the latest gadgets, paying through their nose for these 'must-have' fanciful items just because it's a new toy.
Women, we attach pleasure to shopping. We scout around for the best deals, the best buys, and we get dazzled by the lovely shop displays, we learn about the myriad of stuff available for sale, we get what we want, and then some... ... and, we get a HUGE mood boost from the entire experience!
So, for men : SHOP --> Get Targeted Stuff, regardless of price and bargain or lack of thereof;
women : SHOP --> Best Price + Best Product + Mood Booster + Therapeutic Session
See! Women combine FOUR-in-one when we go shopping. Men, just get ONE thing out of shopping.
So, who's the better shopper?? 
Many shirts.
Shopping is evil and stress inducing, i hate shopping malls. -
women spend on too much rubbish and unnecessary things..men are the efficient shoppers..women are the effective ones..in spending money..

i'm great at spending money... just bloody lousy at shopping...

In this contest you only need to think of who do the paying..

1/2 of the returned purchases were mostly gifts from the males. (They complete their shopping in the shortest time but ends up buying all the wrong stuff.)
They spend less time browsing and have a far clearer idea of what they want - allowing them to navigate shopping trips quickly and effectively, conclude the researchers from Brunel University.
"Males try to complete their shopping in the shortest possible time. Therefore, by being purposeful about shopping, men are more efficient in a strictly objective sense, saving time that might be considered squandered."
Another study has found a possible cause of the female inefficiency. More than half of women "frequently" return their purchases because they have changed their minds, according to the study commissioned by Prima magazine. -
who actually returns them?Originally posted by Camellias4me:1/2 of the returned purchases were mostly gifts from the males. (They complete their shopping in the shortest time but ends up buying all the wrong stuff.)

here's a scary thought...
the dude buys the thing... carefully...
then.. here's the scary bit.. the wife/gf who should think "it's the thought that counts", sends him back to change it..
so the material good becomes more important?Originally posted by Camellias4me:Both. Some bfs/hubbies goes back to the shops to do exchange.. "my wife don't like the design". -
