In A Clothes Shop 95%+ Of Customers Are Women
You agree? I was talking about it with my brother, when i dragged him into a clothes shop, 95% were women and the men who were there looked bored and uncomfortable. Same with shoe shops.

Maybe not 95%, but most and it depends on the store

This statement is so true that you might be able to add another 1% on. I can quite happily look through clothes magazines and find that women have about 200 pages for general clothes, 30 for lingerie and about 2,000,000 (exaggeration) for shoes. Men have all that in about 2. Same with shops. A shop selling both women and mens clothes will have womens clothes spread out across the entire bottom floor, have the majority of the top for shoes and men get a tiny corner for their entire collection. It isn't on. There is no need to have such a wide range. Men don't.

Women do shop too much. That is a fact.
Women should not shop so much.
Or waste so much money they might need to pay rent with when their man gets sick of their shopping-ways and leaves their irresponsible hiney;-)

I think that this is probably an accurate observation. I never really noticed this until I saw this debate and went off to buy a new pair of shoes earlier today. For the first time, I was conscious of the fact that the vast majority of the shoppers were women. Then I realized that the main difference is that women seem happy to go in, stroll around, examine a range of products, while men will storm in, as if they were on a mission, and will just as quickly leave, once the job is done. This is basically what I do as well. I go online or flip through a catalogue to determine what I am looking, upon which I will go in, find it, make the purchase as quickly and as efficiently as possible, and then leave the mall without looking at anything else.

I can't really imagine going to a shopping centre just to spend the day aimlessly looking around. This strikes me as rather frivolous and unnecessary. Rather, I find, pay and leave. It's like an assignment--there's no joy in it, but I know that it has to get done. The only exception is when I am at a bookstore; this represents the only time when I am happy to browse.

I have never really thought about this before, but you are right. In a clothing store, most (if not all) of the shoppers are women. Moreno described it well....guys buy clothes, women shop for clothes. However, if you reverse it, you can say that 95% of shoppers in an Auto Parts store are men. So, it really depends on what type of store you are talking about. Men do not like to shop for clothes. However, they will shop for auto parts because they want their car to look and run great. They could care less what their clothes look like, they just want their car to be noticed. Above all, men will dream in an Auto parts store. So, men can shop if they are in a store that interest them. Men are just not interested in clothes like women are.

As was already mentioned women tend to spend more time in a store than most men do. The men are in and out faster so while at any given time 95% of the people in the store are women that does not mean that 95% of the customers are women.

That's not so true.
I think men spend more money, woman just pretend they shop a lot cus they spend hours in every store. I like shopping. But i can go through 10 store and only spend like 40 minutes, woman have to spend 40 minutes in every single store.
And besides girl stuff is way more cheaper.
