Malta is a tiny speck on the map! Literally tiny. It's a small island.Quote:

Can you roughly picture it?
I would love to see snow. I saw abit of snow when I lived in england and also saw snow when I went on a holiday in sicily and went on Mount Etna.
Summers in Malta can get unbareable sometimes, with temperatures rising up to 40deg C. :eek:
Sorry ladies, I must admit when I can I LOVE shopping...
Shopping galore for me :D:D
Once I remember here in Malta schools closed for the day due to bad weather.Quote:

I actually think you suffer from like some sort of shopping center phobia, or some phobia associated with feeling trapped, or stuck, or crowded. I to am the same way, I HATE feeling like Im in a can of sardines, and I have to stand around, and rub up against people, and I have to breath their same air, and it just grosses me out.
I hate bright lights because I feel insecure in bright settings, because I feel like people can see my dark circles (from lack of sleep and stress) and they can see my flaws (I don't know if I have any, but I sure do feel like I have them under bright lights.
I LOVE shopping for food, but only when Im starving... I think that makes sense. Im not shopping to stock up my fridge, Im shopping to feed my mind cravings... So I buy all this food, and then when Ive gone home and grub, and put away all the stuff I bought when Im not to fat to walk... then I realize that I really didn't need any of the things that I bought, and that I was "buying" with my eyes.
I HATE shopping for clothes, and I hate going to places like walkmart, and kmart. Even as a child I would always get dehydrated shopping, and I would get sick from the lights, and the smells, and the hard shiney fake tile floors, and the rows upon rows of clothes that have that new smell that makes me naucious.
I hate buying clothes because Im 5'8 and 112 lbs, and I can never find anything that long enough, and small enough to fit my body. So I just get frustrated and give up.
The way I shop is I go in a store, grab something I like, buy it and get the hell out of there. Half of the time I end up returning what I grabbed (and bought) and that just makes me angry, because its like a waste of time.
Well you've only heard responses from women who Don't like to shop. Hopefully someone who likes, or used to like shopping can write to you.
But you know what... I really don't think adult women like shopping... most of the time, they have to, because the men won't, and they need groceries, or detergent, or this and that. And because you always see women in stores you think they like to, but Im sure they hate it. Cause they have to buy the stuff, put the stuff in the car, and put the stuff away, and then they cook the stuff, or wash the stuff, or stock the stuff... not fun in any way.
I think what you meant is why do teenage, to young adults (females) love to shop. And the answer is, they are interested in fashion. They like to spend their daddies cash, they love to abuse the credit cards, and they love to sport and admire what they did buy. It's a never ending process... a young female can never get tired of new things... there's always a new style that she just has to have. And if she personally doesn't want it, then shell be made fun of for not being "in style" EVen the punk kids who claim no style... have a style, and its called punk.
I don't know why you say you don't think adult women like shopping!
That's mad :confused:
All the adult ladies I know LOVE shopping...
Or maybe do you think I could be an european thing? :cool:
Maybe Europeans love shopping lol
Im 27 I'm not a teenager, mum is definitley not a teenager, my friends are all roughly my age!Quote:

I don't abuse my credit card on clothes, because I'm adult enough to know if I don't have the money I just don't shop, its as simple as that!
Yeah, mom my loves to shop, but I understand what you are saying nea. However, I was just trying to point out that the majority of women who shop is a lot larger than the majority of women who shop. I think there were always be differences, but I do believe that more women love to shop then men. I also believe that yeah, more teenage women, young women, shop maybe because they don't have families yet, and that is how they like to spend their time, like a hobby. I know the older women, don't necessarily have the finicial or time needs to shop like their younger counterparts, because they usually have families, which suck up their time. My question wasn't really a question, I get it, it was more of a rant than anything. I just hate shopping, I see some of you agree, and some don't, and that's great. I just wanted to share my point of view, and see other's points of view, so I can better understand them.
As far as my fashion, goes, I don't have one. Honestly I need the queer eye straight guy thing, I mean I keep clean, I use gel, but that's about where I stop the metrosexual thing. I grew up in the midwest, and around farmers, my dad's whole family farms, so I am use to blue jeans, white tees, and baseball hats. Which I guess I should step it up, because most californias, really do have a tendency to follow the whole metrosexual things, so I get the girls who don't like the metrosexual thing and want a guy who is more into car's than tan's, and sports than hair. That's just how I roll. It's more or less being indifferent. I guess you could say I am to lazy to change. It's just to easy being me.
Halleyua!! Grab your guns, check your nuts, and move your butts! Were going fishing!
I'm on the fence on the shopping thing... sometimes I love to and sometimes I hate to. I like to shop when nobody is at the mall and it's the off season. I hate christmas shopping. I hate the crowds, the people that are angry they have to be there, the over all commercial atmosphere. I don't like buying what everyone else does either. I hate following a trend. I hate that celebs have their own lines of things that people buy to be like them... that's just stupid, no two people are alike so why would I want to be anything other than me? Sorry think I went off on a tangent there... lol... Chalk it up to labor pains and pregnancy brain... yeah, that's it... hehehe
Well Whizz, I love shopping sometimes, but I am not one who can do it everyday. I enjoy shopping for others and it's fun to travel to another city and shop. I like different things. So I don't enjoy mall shopping. I get a bit closed in feeling in a mall anyway. Strip malls do not bother me as much. I just think most men unless it is homedepot or a tool store don't enjoy shopping at all.
Well, I for one love to shop. Though I am a Cancerian, home is everything to me. Not big on clothes shopping, but I do love to decorate my living space. I'm definitely the domestic one in the family. Love to cook as well. :)
I for one love Christmas shopping, but I like to do it earlier in the year to avoid the rush. Giving a gift gives me soooo much pleasure. I got my hubby a guitar a couple of months ago and he loves it and plays it a lot, it makes me feel so wonderful. There are many variables to my shopping, such as I am not a mall shopper, would rather never go there. I like things that are unique and enjoy that kind of looking. Now, my hubby can shop for tools etc and never tire, but if he sees a dress boutique, his back goes out:) Shopping is something I have little time for so rarely do, I have to be in the mood and I am a fast shopper and would rather do it alone. I do love book stores and thank goodness so does my mate.
Whizz, I think a lot of people do not like the confines of a mall, they are building a few more strip malls for that reason.
I have to admit it was fun flying to Seattle or San Francisco with a friend for a day or 2 of shopping and lunches when I was in the 9 to 5 work force.")
Sounds like fun
Mmmm cherry, and welcome K_3, hmm J_9, K_3... is L_zero next? LOL
Wow, all of you guys have shopped till I dropped!!

Fresh broccoli!! Yummie!! Great in potassium too...
Oooh... me, me, me... I want a little of it all... lol
Look out here come the cat/dogs again and they look hungry
T-Man hide the ribs!!
Maybe its because all the adult women "I" know hate shopping, and they only do it because they have to. I can't speak for the world, and I really wasn't trying to, and I think its funny how the only people who responded to what whizz had to say were women who didn't necessarily prefer shopping. And then after what I said, it seems like everyone has something positive to say about shopping, and its like... well OK, where were you before I wrote all that crap. I could have seen both sides, and given a more precise opinion on the likes and dislikes of shopping.Quote:

I am also young, Im 21, so I have no reason to be around adult women (30's and up. And please don't get offended by that, I just personally don't think that women are adults until they are 30.. well most of them. Some women are adults at 18, but that's because they've proven themselves responsible, independent, and intelligent. By the way, please refrain from arguing with me about my point of view on adult women. I know that a lot of you won't agree, and I don't feel like hearing it) So anyway, I have no reason to be around adult women who like to shop.
My mom is a mother of 9 children, and my dad walked out on all of us when my youngest sister wasn't even 1 years old yet. My mom has to clothes shop, school shop, grocery shop... and all that, for 9 people, plus herself, so you can imagine how much she HATES shopping. Even women that I do know hate shopping, and they only do it for their families, and for themselves so that they can survive. That's where I was coming from with my opinion. I was saying that adult women I know hate shopping, and that only the younger women I know love shopping. I wasn't saying everyone is like that.
Now I know that EVERY women has at least 1 thing that they LOVE to shop for. Even I said I love shopping for food when Im hungry, but I HATE shopping in general... did I not. I hate the ACT of shopping, but I LOVE getting what I need in the end. Maybe people mix that up with shopping. To me shoppping isn't looking at things you like, that's called browsing, am I right? Shopping is going to some place, to get what you need, and then you leave. So some of you ladies who responded to what I said might like browsing (one of you pointed out that you like window shopping, I consider that browsing, cause you never went inside, nor did you buy anything. And we ALL like to look at things that we might want... )
I hate stores, I hate being around crowds of people, I hate the smells, I hate the attitudes of the people shopping, I hate the vibe, I hate going to the counter, I hate carrying my stuff to the car. But when I get home, I LOVE what I got, and I wear it, or I eat it, or I watch it, or I play with it... whatever. Maybe all of you mix the actual shopping experience, with being excited about getting what you like when you shop. I think that's a better phrase for it, instead of why do women hate shopping, it should be why do women hate the whole "shopping experience" because that's what I hate, I don't know about the rest of you.
Ok Im being a little exaggerative here, and I know what Im saying is going to stir up controversy. For those of you who still feel strongly about loving the actual act of shopping, the going through the crowded isles, the picking what you want, the paying at the counter and all that then good for you. And Im not saying you don't exist... And some of you are going to disagree with my idea of shopping, because you'll think that shopping is browsing, and it is this or it is that.
Also krs... what exactly do you mean european women?? I don't know where you going with that. I live in america, and I don't know anything about the way europeans shop, or even how much they like to shop. So please clarify that.
For all of you reading, please know that Im not angry, hostile, or upset. Im just trying to explain my point of you in a way that it doesn't exclude one person or the other. I promise I won't talk this much again.
Besides, I want a big juicey medium rare steak, some cherry jello, some brocoli, some corn on the cob, a baked potato with sour cream, cheddar cheese, chives, and bacon bits on top, and lastly I want a Coke to help it all go down.
Well, ladies, let's forget about the shopping, some people like it and some don't ain't a dern thing we can do about it.
Hey I did not know T-Man was cooking steak TOO!!
I'll have a medium rare steak for dessert please.
I worship any MAN who can grill my steak jusst right. http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/29/29_3_3.gif
Yes, I can actually picture it. I am going to look it up.

No problem coming right up!Quote:
