Female vs Male Shopping!

Many male complains about how their girlfriend or wife love to shop. 

They are baffled, so they moans and groans, "Why women really obsessed to shop?" 

I think that is a misguided complain. Man also love to shop. If you throw me into a big book store with credit card that will be paid by God of Money, I will definitely spend HOURS there, and buy DOZENS of books!Fictions and non-fictions! Many male don't like books but love audio-equipment like speakers, amplifiers, and headphones. Give them the same credit card, and throw them into an Audio-equipment expo. They will spend hours there and act similar like a woman in a department store. Well not 100 % the same, because there are differences in how they shop and what.

1) General vs Specific

Female usually love to shop general stuffs. You know, stuffs that you can find ANYWHERE. Shoes, clothes, hats, etc. Pick any shopping mall or plaza, I bet at least half of it sell those stuffs.

Male on the other hand love to shop specific stuffs. You know, stuffs that you can find ONLY at specific shops which is not that common. Stuffls like books, computers, electronics, audio-equipments, cars etc. Pick any shopping mall or plaza, usually only some shops sell those stuffs. Except if you go to a specific mall that specialized in selling that specific stuffs. (Electronic mall, Computer mall, etc.)

2) Small vs Big

Remember again stuffs women love to buy, they are usually small stuffs. It is not that expensive, so female are able to buy TONS of them in one spree. And the size is usually small too! You can lift all the stuffs that you shop easily!

Remember again stuffs male love to buy, they are usually big & expensive stuffs. That's why male are able only to buy those stuffs monthly. Oh, many of those stuffs are also big and heavy too. I think books is the only exception to this trend because books are not that expensive and are not that big or heavy.

So males, don't be THAT grumpy when your girlfriend or wife shops. You love to shop too! You only love to do it differently ...
