    Why women shop...Its all in the history

    "In a new study, researchers propose that our mall-visiting behaviors harken back to the days when men hunted and women foraged.

    Modern men, for example, generally want to get into a store and get right back out — just like their hunting forefathers wanted to find and bring meat home as quickly as possible. On the other hand, women get back to their foraging roots by sorting through racks of sweaters on sale — as if scanning plants for signs of ripeness. "

    Oh, I can agree on that part!

    Went last Saturday, think I managed to spend 5 hours in all the Electronics stores here, and waste close to 3k$ on presents.

    Bought dad a new coffee machine, mum something for the hair (Both were expensive >.<), myself my own christmas gift (Xbox 360 Elite), a new 47" FullHD TV, and some other stuff.

    Maybe it was stuck somewhere during evolution. Try foraging.

    The sad thing about your malformed statement is you probably didn't even think it up yourself.

    Nothing sad about it, just depends how you look at it.

    If you are sad every thing around you will look sad, so just cheer up and enjoy life, jokes and WHT as it comes.
