A Question For The Ladies...
I just got back from eating lunch with Heather at California Pizza Kitchen. Given that we were outside, eating on the patio, I decided to head back to the car and grab some sunglasses. In front of me were 4 girls. I was really tempted to ask a question, but I refrained. The question in my mind was, "Do women tend to spend more money or buy more stuff or change their normal shopping habits if they're with other girls?"

LOL I think so. Female bonding kind of thing.
;-)
I don't, but then I grew up poor and so I'm very aware of my habits. I really don't like to spend money unless it is something that is needed.
I try not to shop when my friends are around.
It depends on the personality of the other girls. Some friends encourage or make shopping fun, others are the let's just get it done and get out of here type. The second category are the best to hang with if you are on a strict budget, no bad influences.
I shop alone~it's a zen thing ;)
I shop by myself. Mine is a Gul thing.
No, I don't. I buy what I want and am very careful what I do spend.
i definitely agree, im the same way
I spend more in this situation
Yes, it depends on the situation.
Why such a low rating hon?
i dont but thats because im cheap lol. My friends know this and know i wont be out spending lots of money;)
Yes, I believe so, which is why I like doing my shopping by my lonesome.
Yeah. at least i do
I do spend more when I am with friends for sure.
No, I don't. I like to shop alone because I am picky and want to scrutinize my purchases. If I am with friends and they are shopping, I just tag along and don't buy anything. I rarely go shopping with other friends. I find it boring at best. I'd rather go DO something, or just sit and chat, but no shopping.
I don't but some buy stuff to show off!
My friends and I are such cheapskates that we have contests to see who can get away with buying the least!
No, I usually shop less as I know I could spend more with the girls around....so I over compensate!!
Most of my friends are short on excess cash so I try not to buy when with them. However, if there is something on sale that I can get for cheap, I will. It is all about conservation and rationalization.
I buy more when I'm out with girlfriends. I notice I buy a lot less around guys
I am so hard to please when it comes to buying for me. Same-o-same-o, Dan.
And then, like a good man, there IT will be tapping me on the shoulder.
In other words, I I am so disciplined in that regard that what I buy I must absolutely adore!
If I'm with a man friend, I spend the same as with the girls - I'm paying for my own. On a date, I spend less, because I'm there for time spent with a man I'm close with. I like it when he pays, but am shy about spending his money.
In return, I make great dinners or bbq's at home to thank my dates. And then there's the sex...
I don't...but I don't like to shop either.
Its mainly just for the social part, sometimes we just go in the store to look around and hope and wish. And as far as me and my mom go, its according to our situation. We're either in there getting a few things we dont need, or we're there for one another to say no and to keep ourselves on track with the list.
it depends on the friend, My sister and relatives, no I almost never buy anything when they are around. But my pastor's wife, Yes I do spend more. I think it's because she has the more conservatiave taste I like and I trust her opinion on the things I like. Where as my other friends and family try to get me to buy to "in" things, most of which I don't like or don't feel is appropriate to be wearing
I spend less with other girls, that is unless I am with my mom, then all bets are off.
impossible. no stores in the village where I live!!!!!
I do, but I hate going anywhere public without my best friend, mom, or boyfriend... I'm agoraphobic
I think it depends. When I did shop with the "girls" we usually looked for good deals. We didn't spend any more but rather got more for our money.
I don't like to shop, so if I am with friends I usually spent less.
I dont go shopping with the grls. I have no girls! just a couple neighbors.
not sure why like most say depends on whom and where,,,,
I spent so shopping time with netty a few weeks ago,, it was fun
not to be sarcastic ... but why should we care?
