So you're a sexist now? Shopping is just for one sex? Maybe women should live in kitchens making food and men in the forest hunting and gathering eh? It's the 21st century in case you forget, which you often do.

And society is now completely screwed up as a result.

Families are now becoming virtually non-existent.:rolleyes:

I hate shopping. You always have to try on clothing, and there's never anything that looks good on me at all, and my mom always yells at me...I do enjoy shopping for new cleats, though. I think I'll order some nice expensive ones from the Eurosport catalog this year, though. =D

Generally. There are times when I screw up, but most of the time I can get a hold of the ball.

 

Do you take people out at the same time??

Women think of shopping as much as men think about sex

Three out of four young women think about shopping nearly as often as men think about sex, it is claimed.

 

Thoughts of buying that new dress or a much sought-after pair of shoes pop into their heads every 60 seconds, according to a survey by the self- styled 'on-line fashion bible' cosmopolitan.co.uk.

 

Assuming eight hours of sleep a night, that means shopping trips consume their thoughts an astonishing 960 times a day and 6,720 times a week.

 

Other studies have previously claimed to uphold the commonly-held belief that young men have only one thing on their minds - sex.

They are said to think about it every 52 seconds, while the subject crosses some women's minds only once a day.

 

The latest survey, out today, interviewed 778 women aged 19 to 45. Seventy-four per cent of them said they think about shopping every minute.

 

Two out of five described themselves as shoe and bag 'addicts', while the thoughts of more than one in ten focused on accessories or make-up.

 

Even the threat of a credit crunch will not stand in the way of a shopping spree, with 62 per cent saying they will put the damage on their credit card and 8 per cent even prepared to use funds saved to pay the rent or mortgage.

 

Nearly a quarter thought nothing of spending £200 or more on a longed-for item and more than a third would buy it in three or more colours.

 

On average, those surveyed spent at least 30 per cent of their annual income on clothes.

 

Perhaps most worryingly for men, half of those surveyed said they preferred shopping to spending time with their partner, and nearly as many confessed to keeping their shopping escapades secret from their partner to hide their level of spending.

 

The survey suggests that the thrill is in the chase for women where shopping is concerned.

 

Nearly half don't wear everything in their wardrobe and one in ten becomes bored with a new item after only a fortnight.

 

Kate Creasy, editor of cosmopolitan.co.uk, said: 'No sooner have they bagged the "it item" of the season than they're chasing the next shopping rush.'

When it actually comes to spending money, many women would rather shop alone than with a husband or partner tagging along.

 

Earlier this year another survey showed that women did not want to have the distractionof a husband or boyfriendslooking bored and constantly consulting his watch.

 

Of 2,000 couples interviewed by the designer outlet chain McArthurGlen, 89 per cent of the women said shopping alone or with their children was nicer than with their partner.

Of these 76 per cent blamed the man's 'bad behaviour', which included refusing even to enter the shop.

 

Discussing the cosmopolitan survey, psychologist Dr Jane Prince, of the University of Glamorgan, said: 'People think about things which bring them pleasurable feelings. The pleasure is usually in the anticipating and planning.

 

'But so many women displaying this level of preoccupation, thinking about something once a minute, would indicate widespread addictive behaviour with regard to shopping which really does not seem to be evidenced in any academic literature I have ever seen.'

what about shopping for sex? :rolleyes:

Sometimes. xD

 

I don't mean to, it just sort of...happens.

 

Do you apologise afterwards, or just leave them writhing in agony??:rolleyes:

I don't apologize, but I'm not too sure about the other one... o.o

 

edit: Sometimes I do apologize, but only if they're really hurt, or if I know the tackle was pretty sloppy.

Have you ever been red-carded??

I went to Topshop's recruitment day [yes, it was all day] yesterday. There were about sixty people filling out forms and I was only there for like five minutes. They told me that I'd probably have to queue for about an hour to hand in my application form. Probably not the place to get a summer job then...

Maybe if it was legal for husbands to beat wives, marriage would work again?

Nope. I've gotten two yellow cards, though.

 

In the same match??:rolleyes:

Are you talking about how you would like it to be when you get married??:rolleyes:
