Two of my friends and I went for shopping today and my friends who happen to be a couple started this argument about one of the most frequently asked questions...Is "shopping for pleasure" more of a woman's trait? This lady friend of mine strongly believes that regardless of how different two women are, one thing that commonly binds them is their passion for shopping. Though this is more of an observation on my friend's part than a proven norm, I, to a great extent agree with her. But does that mean that men as a rule are averse to shopping? I beg to have a different opinion. I have seen enough men to declare that most love shopping. The difference just lies in their taste. I have seen men, who can spend hours and hours checking out gizmos and electronic gadgets but not necessarily wanting to buy them. They are as happy window shopping as they are actually buying them. This, according to me, is the ultimate form of passion; to savor those moments spent in a shop checking out something that you love.
My verdict: Passion for shopping is more of an individualistic trait and not exactly dependent on the gender of the shopper. Just the taste is different. Though I have to grudgingly admit that women, atleast marginally, are more prone to shopaholism. But hey, that could possibly be because it sure as hell doesnt make sense to have cell phones in 20 different colors and shapes and styles! :D:D
