I know we usually associate this with women, but I'm one man who LOVES buying new shit! It's like the ultimate high for me. Especially when I order stuff off the internet and it comes in the mail. I get so excited when I'm opening the package. What makes it even more cool is half the time I forgot what I ordered so the suspense of opening the package to see what it is gives me a rush! I think it's something I carried over from childhood because Christmas' and birthdays were really big for me.

good for you! i enjoy that too sometimes. i don't think i get high but it is a feeling of power

I call it "Retail Therapy" and that shit works!!

Totally agree with this! The experience surrounding even rather than the thing itself, definitely FUN

On the downside, I just had to open 2 paypal disputes for 2 things ordered separately from the same website that haven't arrived yet in 42 days NOT FUN

i luv luv lurrrrv shopping!!! best thing ever invented!!!

and.... i wear the crown!!! i think i can out shop anyone

I luv sales, i go ballistic.... and i often end up broke... but what ever, u only live once

plus... i never push or slap kick punch kill ppl for a sale item... i'm not that ruthless

u sound like the male version of me

It is a therapy!

If i'm ever going through a down phase I hit the shops. Works every time.

I do too.

Sure does!

There's just one slight drawback to my "retail therapy", it has put me in a financial bind on several ocassions. That's not fun.

I'm the opposite of all that. I hate shopping and yes I am female.

Just the thought of it makes me kinda cranky, especially when I'm tired and my feet starts to hurt from walking back and forth from store to store. I like buying little things here and there but it's just not a hobby of mine.
