being a typical woman..i love shopping...i could go around all day and ended up not buying anything as nothing caught my fancy...i have exes who never really understand that sometimes, walking around may help to release tension..for the man, it's go in, grab the stuff, pay for it and out of the store in less than 10 minutes...but i can keep on going from store to store to get the best bargain...im lucky that my current bf is very into shopping too and both of us can really go all day without any complaints. i dont really like online shopping too much as i couldn touch the item..i couldnt compare items and prices as well..no fun!

Some of us guys also like shopping and it depends on what I am looking for and also the time of the year. I hate long lines, traffic and parking problems so I did all my christmas shopping online. I enjoy window shopping when things are not chaotic like they are now. You are right though that we like to get our stuff and get out most of the time. That is great that your boyfriend is into shopping as well.

I like to go to the store, and see what I am really buying. I don't like my c/c over the internet.

i am just like you margieanneart. i love to go to the store personally and pick up the things i want to buy myself.
and you are right kgwat70. people can still steal money from you even when you're using your credit card in shopping malls.
glad i don't have a credit card. hehe.

yes, using a card over the internet is risky but sometimes salespeople will steal credit card information at the stores as well. It has happened here numerous times before and just happened to be in the paper today. A store person was sharing someones credit card information with other customers.

I personally prefer going around and shopping in the stores. I like to look at the items I am going to buy and then decide from there, or try them on if they are items such as clothing. But I have been known to buy some things from time to time on sites such as Ebay.

My preference, by far, is shopping on the internet. I buy most everything online now. I have never enjoyed shopping, especially this time of year when it's so crowded. I love Amazon.com and use it for almost everything. They even have groceries available on Amazon now.

Im with you all the way with this! I so much prefer online shopping to shopping in person.Shopping online is so much faster plus you don't have to fight for parking space ,wait in long lines and best of all you don't have to worry about dealing with rude customers!

i am not an online buyer. never ever! aside from i don't have a credit card to pay for it online (lol), i want to try the stuffs first before paying for them.
so, i usually go to the mall and look for the stuffs i want to buy. try them and see if it looks good on me and that's the very time i pay for them.

It really depends on what I am looking for. If I can find it online I would rather do it that way. But if I need to try it on or if it something that needs to be examined before buying it then I would have to go store to buy it. I don't order from the catalogs much anymore, years ago I did, but that was before the internet LOL.

I only do a little shopping online mostly I buy DVD's but I have bought stuff from Walmart.com. It was for something that was only available online. I have never ordered from a mail order catalog. I prefer going to the store myself. I like to look at things real close. And for some reason, especially if I am dressed in an old tshirt and sweatpants, I run into people that I haven't seen in awhile.lol

Thank you for your replying. Not everyone has a preference and will do all three of them.

I prefer going to the store, because I can see the product I'm buying. And besides that, I just like going out and browsing in shops. It's a fun day out! But I'm disabled so I don't get out much and do most of my shopping online.

It really depends...
If I'm out shopping and see something I really like and it's expensive. I will come home check online to see if I can find it cheaper.
I use to do the mail order catalogs, not as often.
Sometimes I like just surfing the web for something I really like and if the price is right I buy it...
Thank gawd for paypal :)

I love going to the stores just to browse. Sometimes I look online for special things and also check out the catalogues then go with the cheapest. At least there is a bit of choice now.
