Posted: 6/7/2007 11:01:52 AM | Does anyone else hate to see "Shopping" as a hobby? I mean, I understand that it is a way to kill time. To the women who are self professed "shopaholics", I want you to know that it makes you look like you have no real source of entertainment, and that the only means of satisfaction you can find is running up hundreds/thousands of dollars in credit card debt.
Am I the only one that clicks on to the next profile when I see shopping listed as an interest? | |

I don't mind seeing shopping in a womans profile just as long as she has something a bit more original to accompany it.
I just get bored of reading the same old profile (likes socialising and going out. First date, meal and get to know each other) surely these things are a given with 90% of people on here. | |

The rest of the time, no thanks! | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 11:55:31 AM | | Who says anyone has to spend money while shopping? A lot of times, I go just to look at new toys i.e. tools, electronics, etc. I don't always buy something. A lot of people do that. Not a big deal if I see it in a profile. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 11:58:02 AM | | I Agree ! Shopping is not a hobby. However, I agree it is a chore unless you are just out and buy something cool or nice you saw. Then it is fun.......... Look! What a great motorcycle! I think I'll buy it! | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 12:26:20 PM | In the UK shopping is classed as the most popular weekend activity, and since shops have been allowed to open on Sundays, in the last 15 years or so, the shopping centres are crammed on the weekends. More pressure on people to spend money with 2 weekend shopping days rather than one!

Posted: 6/7/2007 12:30:50 PM | I hate shopping I only go for clothes twice a year and a small grocery store on the way home from work and thats it. If my woman likes to shop it is something she can do with her friends.  Shopping drives me bananas | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 12:33:44 PM | I HATE IT ...I HATE IT....IHATE IT
I really can't understand why so many people spend saturdays and sundays SHOPPING it is the most boring past time of all.
If I can't find what i want straight away I lose interest.
Even food shopping is done by making a list that follows the order of the store.
In grab what you need and back out again thats my motto

Posted: 6/7/2007 12:36:00 PM | I guess it never occurs to some folks that those who list Shopping as a hobby do so because they enjoy it regularly enough to consider it a hobby and just maybe, they can afford to indulge?
No. Most just assume they're in gold-digger territory and move on.
Actually.. you go on with your bad selves... move on and stuff  | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 12:37:36 PM | I love shopping. Not grocery shopping but any other kind of shopping. And guess what... I don't spend other people's money or use credit cards | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 12:39:51 PM | | Puhlease....I refer to it as "retail therapy", no one spoils me like I can spoil myself and I'm not in debt. I also have other interests and do not live in the malls. Sometimes you just have to have something pretty or fun. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 12:55:09 PM | | I once asked a very successful man how he became so successful? He answered “I really never had a choice, when I was young and poor, I had a wife that liked to shop at very expensive stores.” | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 1:37:28 PM | Way I see it is that if you spend all day Saturday and Sunday shopping , you dont have time to do more interesting "fun" things ..... sport , countryside , culture , lazy days in bed , etc etc etc ..
I hate to see "shopping" as a hobby , but hey - each to their own , just dont expect me to tag along all afternoon !!! | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 1:47:58 PM | | I just hate shopping in general I don't like trying things on or taking my time. 30 min or less for me....unless its electronics then maybe 45min | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 1:49:02 PM | I sure would not put that as a hobby.
I hate shopping. If I need something I go and get it and be gone. If I can't find what I am looking for I leave and that's the end of it.
There are only 3 things that I would not mind shopping for - guitars, lingerie, and diamonds/emeralds. Even then, though, if I cannot find what I want, I split.

Its definitely a hobby for me and Im not ashamed of it. Thats why i work in the fashion industry. K. thanks | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 2:07:11 PM | | I think shoppings more of a personal enjoyment than it is more than a hobby but some girls just love it its what they do | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 2:07:23 PM | Is it okay if I only enjoy shopping for shoes, boots, pvc and lingerie?
And I pay cash. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 2:07:34 PM | I hate to shop... having to shop is not the same as choosing to shop... they are different things. One is a chore, the other is not.
I do not like shopping for food, home items.. including furniture... tv's or any of that.. yuck !......but I do like shopping for things I do not need at all ( fun useless things that are pretty)
crazy huh?
I know people who shop every day as a form of recreation. They invite me, I decline becase its actually boring... and serves no purpose other than getting out of the house. I'd rather go for a walk in the park. | |

Posted: 6/7/2007 2:20:47 PM | Hmmm. I adore shopping for furniture or other home stuff (I'm in heaven at Pier 1 and World Market). I'll even go shopping and re-do someone else's place (on their dime, natch!). I love the home improvement stores. And let's not get started on the paint chips or we'll never get out of there.
I don't much like shopping for groceries, etc., but I can spend hours in a good needlework, bead or book store (especially a good used book store). Now to find a guy who can tolerate my hobbies........
Cheers

Posted: 6/7/2007 2:32:42 PM | Personally I hate shopping-
I do- it sucks . If I need somehing I have a picture
in my mind I go to the store- I get what I want and
I am done.
I agree with the above poster- I love book stores and toy stores.
I will stay in them longer than normal but the usual stuff- no. | |
