Well, there is that.

Commercial Christmas, not the birth of Christ, is a popular celebration in many parts of Asia. They even have a “holiday” shopping season for the retailers.

One of the most dreaded words that causes strong men to shudder when they see their wives coming upon it are the words ON SALE. It doesn’t matter what it is on sale, the very words send females into shopping overdrive. I’m sure every married man has heard the words “but they were on sale” from his dear wife when she comes home with a load of whatever.

They don’t. It’s just a gift-giving day.

“I’ll wager that she went shopping for the shoes, anyway.”

Two pairs - one for the funeral.

Gives a whole new meaning to "shop till you drop", doesn't it?

Everyone knows you never take a man along for serious shopping. She was trying to kill him.

MALLS KILL !!!

Its time to BAN all malls!!!

Can you even begin to comprehend living in a society where 1 in every 4 adult men you meet will have never married, and not by choice? How could this change the social and cultural dynamics of China?

Japan. And many of the Far Eastern countries, where a super high-flown variant of hypergamy is the rule. This isn't some kind of historical exception, though. Prior to the 20th century, polygamy was the rule outside of Europe and the European-settled Americas. Men of limited means generally stayed single and rented.

About 30% of Koreans do claim to be Christians, and they aren’t claiming it from tradition or enertia.

And she never went in GAP.

I doubt it. Women have a distinct advantage in getting a partner in China. Due to the 1 child policy and Chinese parents’ preference for male children (as is the case in most of the developing world...where is the concern from feminists?), there are many more men than women in that country.

On the matter of suicide by shopping too much. I don’t go out to malls anymore. I try to buy everything online or at the nearby Wall Mart. I hate crowded malls and the rampant consumerism they elicit.

[CynicalBear]

I’ll bet she won’t take him along shopping next time.

[Slings and Arrows]

"Merry f****** Christmas!"

Freaked out my bf one time. We went to Nordstrom with a 5k account, clear CC and didn’t buy anything. (knew it would)

[HiTech RedNeck]

Unless she has him cremated and carries the ashes!

[HiTech RedNeck]

You bought NOTHING.

Were you really sick that day?

[SkyDancer]

Nope. Just being mischievous.

I discovered that if I can locate the nearest martini bar, the pain of shopping is greatly mitigated.
