    My guy friends seem to spend a lot more money when upset than any of my female friends do. Obviously I'm no expert of the subject, but it seems to me that (in my experience with friends and family) women have a tendency to buy lots of little things (a pair of shoes, some nice blouses etc) and men will buy something big and expensive. Perhaps that's why so many men buy shiny sports cars during a mid-life crisis.

    @The Hand-Walking Queer (texascrude): My tits are currently designing a clean, affordable hybrid vehicle that costs $5 to produce and runs on nothing but gravity and air. It also has top safety ratings and its only exhaust is nutritionally-balanced, organic food for hungry children.


    My tits are also currently working on a meteor deflection system for planetary defense, and are also stabilizing the ozone layer with nothing but the power of thought.

    and frankly we're a little skeptical that women are the only ones who spend money to make themselves feel better.


    I like how conveniently this sentence is inserted into a post following the one about the guy writing about his experiences with prostitution.

    I think depression has a lot to do with it. I went into debt largely because of depression paired with a really impulsive personality. I don't use it as an excuse, but it definitely impacted my behavior. It's sad.

    @Penny: it definitely can; i'd say this probably extends to other mood disorders and anxiety disorders as well. i think for some people (regardless of gender) shopping can become another way to self-medicate. i went through a brief period where i replaced one compulsive behavior (which i'd been trying to not do for a long time) with shopping. i'm normally very thrifty, so people noticed quickly and i stopped.

    This is an asinine claim; frankly I'm inclined to believe that this is a phenomenon that is independent of gender.


    Plus the use of the word "paws" is particularly insulting.

    @SomeAuthorGirl: frankly, i'd be surprised if this behavior IS unique to women. if this hasn't been observed in men, it's probably because no one is scrutinizing male patterns of consumption.

    I shop when I'm mad. I shop when I'm sad. I don't know why, but new things make me feel better. I get to drive to the mall playing my happy music, wander around on (faux) marble floors under bright lights, have people help me, have people talk to me, get compliments, and I get all the stuff wrapped up in tissue paper and put in glossy bags. Then I get to get home and unwrap all of it, take the stuff out of boxes and bags and organize it. New Jersey malls are my disneyland.

    Man, I have a problem. But I think shopping can be really good for a bad mood. Same with ebaying, but I hate waiting for my stuff.

    @greengrey: I love to shop, but lately, I have taken to online shopping instead of going to the mall.

    Of course, I don't get all of the cool store bags, but it is rather uplifting to come home after a long day of work to see a box waiting in front of my door.

    Depression is not the same as feeling bored, restless and in need of excitement. Clinically depressed people can barely make it to the grocery store, never mind the shoe section of Macy's.

    @Flackette Goes Retro: i see what you're saying (my mother was dysthymic for the majority of my childhood... leaving the house was a monumental achievement for her at times.) i haven't researched this in any way, but i feel like for some people, this could be a form of self-medicating. plenty of the depressives i've known (again, just my experience...) have problems with drug/alcohol abuse or compulsive overeating when their depression isn't being managed well. i think this, depending on the individual, could potentially fall into the same category.

    or the people who participated in the study aren't using the clinical definition of depression and i'm reading waaay too much into this. yeah. that could be it.

    I am a man who occasionally buys things or goes shopping because I am "feeling a bit low." Usually it is sports equipment or other items for my kids or a little something for my wife. Can't anybody do anything to improve their disposition without the specter of addiction being raised? The four out of ten women who cited "depression" obviously have a clinical condition confused with feeling a little funky.

    @Glitterbug (likes life shaken, not stirred): If I didn't go buy stuff for her such as dresses, lingerie, shoes and so on, she would actually be forced to wear a towel because she absolutely hates shopping. The most I can get out of her is an "I guess that one is ok" when I ask her to evaluate my internet dress choices. She seems to love grocery stores for some reason though; why can't they sell dress there?

    @I_can_still_pitch: I wish I could say I was less shallow and didn't care about clothes, but I do. Any boyfriend who bought me nice clothes would get a lot, is all I'm saying! There is something soothing about grocery shopping, though, I'll agree with her on that.
