Yes, if you're NOT doing it:expressionless:. Shopping is a task for you, great...skip it. Do something that is fun for you. I absolutely LOVE to shop. I'll shop for anything...clothes, furniture, appliances, bouquets, music, paintings, don't care what the item is...sign me up, please. At my job I sometimes have to be a personal shopper....best day ever!!!

When I see "fishing" on a guy's profile, I don't automatically calculate how many hours he'll be gone, whether he'll want to spend money to buy a boat, the scent of the fish, etc. We all have numerous interests and they should all have different levels of priority. If you and your partner have to be the same side of a coin, life is going to get monotonous very quickly (well, it would for me anyway. I like having different interests and hobbies than a partner. Gives me an opportunity to try and learn something new.

I'm positive that activity and hobby have different meanings...no time to actually look that up, because that will cut into my shopping time:expressionless:


Fun fact, most men don't enjoy shopping because most malls were not designed for men. I mean, maybe not, but it doesn't help.

One of my favorite past times used to be trollin the malls, and hanging out at the food courts. But I did eventually come to the conclusion that, apart from the guys that genuinely enjoy superficial stuff like clothing shopping, or buying a new phone; most malls weren't designed for guys.

Clue number one, women only wear double the underwear as men, yet although you can't walk five feet in a mall without running into a woman's underwear store, I'm pretty sure that men's underwear stores don't exist (besides online). Clue number two, most stores in malls in general are either clothing stores, women's underwear stores, or smart phone stores.

Although I do have some underlying angst towards the lack of men's underwear stores, I'm mostly impartial to malls favoring women. Cept that time I ran into The Bay with a major case of the *****, and there was 6-7 women's bathrooms, and only one men's bathroom(on the top floor..). I was a bit "wtf.." about that. But otherwise, I'm just making conversation, cuz it's like, almost 5am, and I just put my graphic/art tablet down, and I'm insanely tired..

That said, I do enjoy walking through a nice mall, but rarely do I enjoy shopping.

I tend to look at activities in a users profile and I notice the term shopping listed on a lot of profiles. I guess my question is if someone is spending their spare time "shopping" is that a red flag that could lead to constant arguments over finances and possibly bankruptcy? or is "Shopping" as a activity as opposed to a necessity the norm? Your thoughts?
Nah some people shop and collect or to sell
