I know more dudes that enjoy shopping than I know women who do. I don't think I know any womenfolk who actually enjoy shopping. :I

Depends on what I'm shopping for. Clothes? Bleh, just pick something cheap and call it a day.
Books? See you in a few hours...

I completely concur.

Pluss, have you seen women when they're looking for clothes?
'Tis a sight which would freeze the marrow and shatter the bone.

My mother in law's main hobby is shopping.

Some people fit stereotypes, some don't. They're stereotypes.

[TD1]

Yes, but there's a reason why we have stereotypes. Not all women like to shop, but more would than men.

*looks at practicability*
*buys*
Yeah, beauty and all, but I like my clothes durable.
I hate generalization. :I


Edit: In which I miss the next two posts which disarm the stereotype.
Yay, you people!

Not necessarily. Some stereotypes defy all logic; see many geek and nerd ones. Confirmation bias plays heavily in these sorts of things.

And of course even proven statistical correlations don't matter much unless you're a marketer. Assuming things about individuals based on these things is no good, obviously.

"Statistics can prove anything in this manner."
...I'm reminded of how sometimes statistics is... "abused", best term I could find to describe, to further a 'fact' in which lacks logical backing or error, pertaining to individuals and most things that can't be clarified and factualized by numbers.

[TD1]

Yea, statistics are one of the three types of lies.

And of course you can't judge people by stereotype. I merely meant that in a lot of cases there is a reason for it.

Oh man I hate shopping so much. It's like everything about the experience saps me of energy, leaving me to slowly sink to the floor and die. I continue wearing old clothes until the last few threads crumble and fall away from my body, mainly because I don't like shopping for more. When I go to the grocery store I act like it's a military operation - get in, get out, hope nobody I care about dies. I just want the thing that I need to appear in front of me, at a reasonable price, and I give them the money for it.

Shopping can be fun. I like looking at nice things. Things that I mentally note to get later.

Plus at the grocery store I shop like the Doctor saves the world. I got in without a plan and make it up as I go, usually coming out on top.

It... It's on the level of national catastrophe when it doesn't go right. Don't ask why.

To be fair, buying some food I can live with (and I usually get a little bit of something for myself so can't really hate on that).
But buying clothes is a bloody nightmare and I always hate when I have to buy a new pair of shoes or a new coat. It's just ridiculously boring, repetitive and I honestly fail to see how some people can find that fun.

And of course my mom refuses to let me stay at home. And of course I won't be able to sleep at my grandparents' just because of how LOUD and HOT it's there. (alright, it's not scorching-hot, but my house is a rather chill place, and there isn't the noise from the streets 24/7 going on)
All the more reason for me to post here.

Come on mom, I'm not 7 anymore! *insert rageface here*

[Gunner-Chan]

I actually like going out to buy stuff if I got some spare money. The problem is I usually DONT have personal money.

And I'm actually mildly agoraphobic.

So yeah I have a love hate relationship with going to literally any store.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

What if they constructed a tunnel leading from your bedroom to the store? They could throw in a really snazzy floodgate.

[Graknorke]

I like buying things.
I just don't like pacing around looking at things. I really don't need that long to decide whether to buy something or not.

[Gunner-Chan]

If they did that I'd probally sneak in every night to steal all their premade sushi. You know what this is a great idea. I should start digging.

At least just leave a tip on the counter before you leave.
