For the same reason women spend hours in front of the mirror and we just use it to shave: \n\na) self awareness (if you're a woman) \nb) vanity (if you're a man)\n\nP.S. I hate those trips to the mall :(

men are a secondary market that makes purchasing decisions along with the primary owner of the merchandise. Many times men purchase lingerie for woman and in turn are a valuable frontline for advertisers. Mens discretionary income normally goes to things they want. Womans goes to saving and small priced items.

I don't think it's just women.  Men do both as well.  I think it's just preference..and whether the person cares about their environment.

I think women are more picky about how women look. If a woman loves herself and expel confidence, even the most picky man takes notice. If the man is only there for the woman's looks, he doesn't want anything permanent and is very superficial. He wants and seeks attention and approval from others than being his own man.

Because God made them that way.  Men are interested in keeping their genes going and women are interested in nurturing.  Women are turned on by what they feel (both physically and emotionally)  Men are turned on by what they see.

I guess it has to do with how we are being raised these days. But not all of us are like that. I'm not. I just want for myself and my husband to be happy. I DO NOT WANT gifts or jewelery or flowers or stuff like that. I would much rather have his time. To go for a walk, have sex etc...\nI want very little in this life except to be happy and content and money just doesn't buy that.\nI think girls that haven't figured that out(and that's probably a majority considering our society today), they are not worth your time.....they are a waste of time.....you want a girl that truly wants YOU...not your wallet

Females are more emotional than men. And usually know what they want quicker than a man does.

Women are more likely to work in a retail environment. They enjoy the discount!

Other countries may have different customs.  Some women may feel like it's their duty to their husbands.  Some men are more considerate of a woman's feelings and needs and they are more attentative.

I guess most females are about materialistic things because that's the way they were taught to be. If you look back on women's history we've been taught to like materialistic things so we can look pretty for men.

We don't only think of your private parts. We enjoy spending time with you. We think about your eyes, your hair, your feet, everything. Why do women complicate things. We would love to go shopping with you or take walks or do the dishes, etc. You spoil it by thinking we are hard headed or complicated. Men are not complicated, they like to eat and scroo. Do that for them and they will do anything for you.

When I shop I feel in control! I don't go crazy with my money but when I hit the stores you know a real DIVA was there. It also makes me feel good inside and takes away what problems I may have had in that day. Shopping can, NO shopping is a great outlet to stress for some people.

It's because women are so much more emotional than men and for some reason we sometimes like to know if our man is thinking something good (or bad) about us. I know it probably gets annoying to men, but just have patience. Women are just wired differently than men, emotionally. And we feel the need to do things sometimes that feel perfectly normal to us but seem silly to men.

Women aren't that mysterious. They just change their minds a lot and they like guys that can impress them without trying to impress them.

I think generally men don't enjoy getting 'suprise' presents, they'd rather 'do' or 'go', so think along those lines, depending how much you want to spend of course! All the men I know and have to buy gifts for would prefer disposable, ie. edible gifts, so find out what they like and get some! There's so much choice just at the supermarkets now, with beer in gift packs with free t-shirts, whisky with nip bottles etc. Good luck!
