Somewhat related, my mom the consultant loves to talk about a study on how men vs women shop.
When shopping, women tend to go to many different stores comparing items and prices at each one and then at the end, they go back to the one they liked best and buy it. Men on the other hand already know exactly what they want and so they go straight to the store that has what they want, buy it, and leave.
It is especially fun when you tell that to a group of guys and girls. My dad, brothers and I were so for the 'get in and get out' strategy but the girls were all talking about how it is fun to look at all the different options and look for good deals.
- byproxy 8y agoConsider me (man) an outlier, then. I much prefer to comparison shop and maximize the quality/value ratio. Plus, I do tend to know what I want (in terms of style, at least), but it might take many visits to many shops to find it (both virtually and physically).
- watwut 8y agoWomen clothing has more variety - typically I don't find what I want in place where I found that last time (and often I don't find it, period). Most of time I am doing a sort of trade off. I would go to store that sells exactly what I want predictably, if it would exist. Can confirm that I spend more time trying to get better deal then men I know who buy first regardless of price.
