Top ten reasons why women shop



Shopping

 The shopping capacity of a woman comes as a shock, almost a heart attack to a bachelor who has just set his foot into wedlock. A man who has had a woman in his life earlier in the form of a sibling or girlfriend would be at a lesser risk to this shock. It could be hard for men to understand the shopping bug in a woman and they are not to be blamed for this lack of understanding, after all 'men are from mars'. Despite all the allegations made by the non resident Martians (men) about how women shop for no reason, there are a few basic reasons why women and shopping are inseparable all over the world:

• Women like pretty things, and they believe that thing be with them rather than some other woman even if the other woman happens to be her friend.This is a complex relationship that exists between women. Do they love their best friend? sure they do, but when it comes to owning a pretty thing it goes "love thy self".
• Nature's harmony: Skies are blue, grass is green, everything in nature is in perfect harmony - the same should be true about our dress and accessories. A nice dress is not nice enough without a pair of earrings that go along with it. Repeating an earring on more than one dress is an unforgivable offence. That makes us legally eligible to have uncountable pairs of earrings to match the number of dresses we have.
• Hand Bags and Shoes could have been covered in the above point but being a lady I can not possibly make the ghastly sin of combining them with rest of the accessories. Hand bags and shoes play one of the most important role in a woman's life. There are few simple thumb rules when it comes to Hand bags and shoes:
• "There are never enough of them"  - even if there isn't place left for them in the closet.
• A woman should never be denied the purchase of Hand Bags and Shoes. This denial will have drastic repercussions like getting burnt food or sudden increase in the amount of red chillies in the food.
•  The unequal division of closet or shoe rack space should not be questioned or argued upon -90% is reserved for our footwear. The man who abides by these simple thumb rules is sure to be happy and with guaranteed to have edible food all his life.
• Shopping to health - We sincerely believe in 'walking our way towards health'. We can walk distances to find the thing that we are looking for. When I was pregnant my hubby used to leave me at malls for hours and I would get  the much needed exercise - of course buying anything was out of question as I was too big to fit into anything.
• Fine art of Bargaining - We love human interaction and think that talking is the best way to say one's heart out even if its in the form of an argument. And so, we bargain. There is a million dollar smile and satisfaction on a woman's face even if she manages to bargain and reduce the price by one buck. The triumph and kick obtained by that victory cannot be attained even if she gets a million dollar mansion for free.
• Economy boost - We believe in the upliftment of the economy that we are part of. "A small hole in one's pocket is a huge contribution to the economy" is our motto. So we don't hesitate to spend even if we end up buying things that we actually don't need or would never use.
• 'SALE': the mere sight of this sign sends our heart racing like the full moon effect on tides. The shopping spree is on an all time high during the sale season.We can track down a SALE sign from a distance. The idea is to get everything on sale into the shopping basket. The end result being too many shopping bags to carry.
• Give everybody a chance We are generous and always give a chance to everyone to prove themselves, this generosity extends to new brands of products that are introduced in the market too. A new product launched in the market gets our unbiased support demonstrated by its purchase by every woman. And if really good continues to get our support but only until a new product is launched.
• Beauty is life - They say one is as young and beautiful as one feels at heart. We do accept it but that doesn't really hold true for us completely.We want it all, young and beautiful inside, at heart and also on the outside. That's what we are trying to attain when you see the long bills from a salon or a beauty products store.
• Friends beyond facebook - We like having a number of friends,and not just friends but best friends and once we have them we cherish them forever. So, we buy diamonds, for, as the saying goes 'diamonds are a girls best friend' and also 'Diamonds are forever'.

I have made an attempt to justify the much tarnished shopping gene innate in women. Hope these reasons help men understand this special bond that exists between women and shopping. That doesn't mean that they don't have the right to complain because even if we give a million reasons to defend our shopping sprees we know that most of the times we overdo it and without your nagging would probably end up being excessively spendthrift. That's the reason men from mars and women from Venus are just meant to be.
