Must resist the urge...

Some things are too easy.

That expalins ALL THE farkING SHOES!!

Anyone notice the picture of the woman 'losing it'? Looks like she lost her clothes.

Oh, and this article is total BS. My husband loses it at Home Depot all the time. I have a garage full powertools still in boxes, that he just had to have at the time.

Most any married man could tell you the exact same thing as this headline.

The cover that to MiddleAgedWoman...

"But before men start feeling smug, it seems they get into a similar dither when faced with buying gadgets, fast cars or computer games."

that explains shoes. my wife has at least 50 pairs of shoes, most of which she doesn't even wear anymore. and she comes back every couple of months with more.

i have one drill and one lawnmower. i don't need 3 or 4. what's the deal?

ok, i have 4 drills. but again...

I love shopping. It releives my stress. I bust my ass to make good money and I enjoy spending my hard-earned cash on myself and others.
That is all.

Ah HAHAHA! WootHoot!

exick:

then all that time i spend in record stores must be me exploring my feminine side... or my sad side...

I have studies that state most studies are full of shiat, but do well in crappy publications that pander to the mentally retarded.

All you guys who are saying "Yup, that's true", just remember one thing:

The same thing happens to us whenever we see boobies.

Nuff said.

This is one reason why I'm happy that I'm dirt poor right now: the wife and I can't go on impulse shopping trips. Sure, we don't have any luxuries but the closet isn't full of her shoes and the living room isn't taken over by my computer junk.

Runningjoke:

reminds me of a Vic Reeves joke:
"studies show 87.5% of all statistics are made up on the spot"

Still no cure for... nah.

Why isn't this an askmen.com article? I thought they were the experts on the female mind.

All you guys who are saying "Yup, that's true", just remember one thing:

The same thing happens to us whenever we see boobies.

Yeah, but at least we have a physiological excuse... blood leaving the brain and all that...

No
Freakin'
Shiat
Sherlock!

In other news, more and more women are starting website's to ask others for help paying off their debt.

SAVE_____.COM

I'm not a typical woman, I guess... I don't like shopping. It just makes you irritated when you can't find a reasonable price for reasonable stuff. Why give yourself the hassle?

Send men shopping, or at least take them with you... you'll get out of their a lot quicker.

I am a woman who really hates shopping just for the sake of shopping. I don't even really enjoy it all that much when I'm looking for something specific. I don't want to waste money, and I don't want to have to look at every item on the shelf, trying to find the exact one I want.

In fact, what I really want is for the perfect item to be on the first shelf I get to, and I want it to be singing my favorite song, and dancing the Macarena, so that I don't miss it. And - if I DO happen to not notice it (I can be very visually tuned out sometimes), I want it to jump into my arms and insist on going home with me. And - I want it to be on sale for half-price.

Oh, who am I kidding - I want it to be at my next-door neighbor's yard sale. And the singing and dancing would still be nice.

pfftt.... I don't buy lots of gadgets. I've only purchased a new computer, 4 video games, and airsoft rifle, and all the nifty gear that goes along with it in the last month. WTF I don't go nutty over gadgets.

Ohhh a laser sight for my gun!!!!! /me runs to the store.

We used to theorize that women are gatherers, and thus like to shop, while men are hunters, thus know exactly what they want and make a beeline to that exact spot.

But then again, I windowshop in guitar stores all the time.

i am a dysfunctional woman then. 5 pairs of shoes and i'm wearing the same sauconies from 3 years ago. $10 for a tee shirt??!! that's highway robbery!

can I use this article as a defence when my hubby gets the credit card statement?

I don't know a single woman who owns less than 50 pairs of shoes.

I agree, idiotfactory. T-shirt and jeans today.... the shirt was free. Going out with my bf tonight... I'll still be wearing this. He'll probably match me.

Shoes are those things that keep your feet from making contact with the spiky things on the ground.... not those spkiy things that put holes in the ground...

Another thing I've noticed about women is that when they're walking and talking, they're completely oblivious to the world around them and lose their peripheral vision. "Look out, there's a bus barreling towards you!"

"Huh?"

Headline two words too long.

I think of a man... and then remove all reason and accountability.

(one of the best movie lines ever!)

I have a pair of shoes to go with every one of your video games.

I don't get the multiple shoe thing for women either.

I own black dress, brown loafers, work boots, sneakers & slippers. Works just fine.

Men are from Mars, women want a penis.

amen, exick

Shopping is my cardio. I don't go shopping just to shop though. But I always need something.

And LoveInAction,
Show me a man who can be reasonable in the face of bodacious boobies and I'll show you a homosexual.
Both genders are guilty of irrational behavior.
Now, excuse me while I pop over to bluefly.com for a fabulous new handbag.
hehehe.

LoveInAction

I'm not saying it isn't a great excuse. I'm just saying that (heterosexual) men are completely blinded by boobies. Sweet, sweet, luscious boobies.

How do you spell that sound Homer makes when he drools over doughnuts or something else equally sweet? However you spell it, insert it here.

Once again we spend money on research that Captain Obvious has been telling us this whole time.

Women incapable of rational thought PERIOD!

-Dons asbestos undies and ducks...

Ducks? oohhhhh, i thought you meant you were putting on ducks. k.

Rozinante & CB:

Lucky thing for you, too. Otherwise, not a single one of us would have anything to do with you!

j/k - honest.

And LoveInAction,
Show me a man who can be reasonable in the face of bodacious boobies and I'll show you a homosexual.

Eh, Jeebus, please use your REFRESH button and read all previous posts before chiming in with something that's been asked and answered.

I believe the word you are looking for is "Transcendent"

MY GF isn't much different. Seems like every third day we have more "stuff" even though she has a mountain of stuff sitting in boxes in the basement.

I am pretty lucky though....she never racks up much damage. I used to date a girl that would pay $80 for her hair to get done. The new one will go to the second hand store and come back with like eight outfits for the same amount.

I finally found someone cheaper than me....that's how I knew it was love.

:)

Is it just me, or are controversial submissions more likely to be approved? Especially if they have a deliberately provocative heading?

Note to self: submit link on gay nazis who want to ban evolution from textbooks...

GrandmaGoth
No, I believe that whole-heartedly. Seeing how most men treat women (not entirely exempting myself) I wonder what they're thinking.

I'm one of those women who hates shopping.

Unless I'm in a comic book store. Or Best Buy.

bmihura: I own three pairs of shoes.

HonestIndian - Misers, represent!

Yeah, my girl and I have the same philosophy on stuff - cheap is good. Only difference is our attitude on used/new. I go for used hardware, new clothes, she thinks vice versa.

woman drive me nuts.
