Women’s Addictiveness to Shopping
It’s seven o’clock in the morning, the day after Thanksgiving. Macy’s department store is having their biggest women’s sale of the year; everything is either half off or more of the regular price. The lines outside the store are jammed packed and continue all the way down until the other end of the mall. Thousands of women can’t wait to get their first pick of all the clothing, shoes, and accessories which are on sale. One hour later the doors finally open, the women take off pushing each other and yelling at each other, just to get in and shop for the best bargains that only come once a year. As a young women of that nature, I must admit that I too would probably be there waiting in those crowds to go shopping for those bargain. I hate to admit it but I am an “addictive shopper”. As an addictive shopper, I truly do know the ups and downs of a sale like that big and popular. It’s not easy at all getting through those crowds to get a good price on a dress you like or a pair of shoes you’ve just been dying for; some women even get bruised and injured just trying to get that dress and lousy pair of shoes they want so badly.

Rarely would you see a man drop everything and run to those sales rack. More than half a billion of shopper’s money received is from women, while the other couple million is from men. Men may spend a lot of money on a pair of pants while women may spend the same amount of money on three pairs of pants. That is the exact reason to why retailers have come to their conclusion that women are more prone to be addictive and spend more money on shopping than men. In more latent terms women receive more for their money than men, and that is what people want more for their money not less for their money. Shopping for women is a way for them to relax from all the pressure received elsewhere; shopping is usually an alternat
