Has anyone noticed when shopping with a female (mom, girlfriend, or friend) they seem to get sidetracked when shopping? I mean shopping for a particular thing when estimating it to take only a few minutes, when it turns out to be a few hours.

This happened when I was shopping with my girlfriend. She promised me that she would only buy new shoes for school at a particular store. I imagined it to be only a few minutes or an hour tops. As we entered the mall all the pretty clothes, signs, and etc started to distract her. We spent our whole day in the mall and didn't have time to get to the store we went there for. The store where she wanted to get her shoes closed by the time we got there. So we had to go back the next day. Yet again, she was distracted. So I had to drag her just so we can get shoes. pinch.gif

I have learned to bring a blindfold everytime I go shopping with my girlfriend. whistling.gif

I seriously think females have A.D.D. when shopping. What do you people think? Let's hear some interesting stories. _smile.gif

i can't go shopping with my mom. we'll be on our way out of the store and then she'll notice something nice and stop to look at it. haha.

but my dad is a different story. he and i walked around the entire mall twice while we waited for my mom in a different store.

^ definitely true!

i'm the one who was distracted though. my mom was so tired of going around the mall over and over. but that just happened a few times. i'm not really a shopaholic.

I'm a female!
Honestly, I dislike shopping. Well, it's okay. I don't shop often, but whenever I go with my mom she says it'll only take about 10 minutres and it turns out she's staying there for like.. 2 hours!
pinch.gif
I tell her to hurry and she yells at me to shut up.

Wth?!

Hmm... not really to me. Since we're not that rich at all, I don't really have interest in shopping hehh... I don't really shop for clothes no more like the old day. My dad just buys em' for me or my sister. It's a very hard living in my shoes hehh... you never wana go into my shoes cause it's not fun at all. That's why I hate going to the malls because even though I have $20, I don't want to spend it because if I spend it, then that means no more money in my pocket. And I hate the feeling of that... so yeah I don't go to the malls. Well if my sister brags or begs me or my friend/family brags me... i'll go... but i dont go there cause i want to. i go there cause my friends want to go hehh.

So yeah I'm not a shopping freak no more. that's why i lost my interest as a fashion designer hehh.

The same thing happens to me. Everytime I go shopping for a certain item, I get distracted by other nice items, so I forget about the item I originally went there for, and end up buying a whole bunch of other shit. Same with my mom.

I have a problem when I shop. I have a particular item in mind and I can't find it so I walk in and roll right out. So I'm fast with my clothes shopping. I just add in general. and when I go to the bookstore... ahh the love of mangas.

Hm...i guess i'm a bit different. I have the a.d.d. bit where I get distracted by everything, but I speed shop, so I'm generally in and out of a store within 10 minutes

k i guess it is sexist but it IS TRUE. i mean well depends for me. like how much money i have on me at the moment, but if im with someone and i see something i REALLY WANT i borrow. haha. i cant help it. i mean me + my step-mom (both major addicts) we went to AE once and bought $100. then as we went out we saw something else and bought some other items while we were at it. then she saw a shirt but shes like "k i wont buy it, i'm not addicted." so we walk around the mall, but then she HAD to go back and we bought the shirt and a few other items rolleyes.gif we spent like $600 just on AE that day.

.... dot dot dot..

T_T Okay I admit, I spend hours at a mall and I'm VERY picky about clothing, usually how it looks on me, you know? There's clothing that i want but when I try it on, it looks terrible on me lol. So I must try on at least 5 different things from any store that I like.. Usually I only buy one or two items because usually I'm too short or I don't have the "chest" to pull off that shirt.. you know? Or I don't find anything in my size. sad.gif Ah well..

Yes, "the art of shopping."

I swear, my boyfriend thinks the same thing as you, Marvin! Haha I remember my boyfriend and I spending less than 10 minutes at Anchor Blue and he tried on two shirts and paid. lol

Wait no, I paid. stubborn.gif Oh well =P
