1. Do you agree or disagree ?

ha ha ha ha

2. Shoe lovers don't give a rat's ass about what others think.

3.Do women really feel this way ?

4. Remember Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City ?

ha ha ha ha

I like that.

Rev

5. True or False ?

6. So who are more fun--men or women ?

7. Really ?

OK Folks!

That's it.

So how many of you enjoy shopping and are usually happy while shopping and how many of you hate shopping ?

You will be evaluated later.

Rev

Senor Rev, please post your rubric for the evaluation!

Would the Rev's rubric dictate your answer to the question posed ? Here it is again:

So how many of you enjoy shopping and are usually happy while shopping and how many of you hate shopping ?

Rev

PS. Now lemme go evaluate chameli. I just saw her reply.lol

Shopping is my thing. I'm the epitome of shopping/shopper. Its what I do

Good Jesus Lord!

There is nothing more lifeless and boring than a rich woman with personal shoppers.hahahaha

Listen up rich lady---that's you chameli---don't you know shopping is cheaper than a psychiatrist ?

So fire the personal shoppers----stop seeing the psychiatrist---and go dose yourself on the best medicine normal women have ever imbibed---SHOPPING.

Rev

Oh, I thought you would have given us a rating scale. Come on Rev, we can't be so extreme.

Señor Rev, are you making an assumption that Chami sees a psychiatrist? Whrare are you gonna say about me when I post my response about shopping?

A rating scale ?

Hmmmmm! Interesting.

The Rev is a man of numbers---I like that idea.

Based on the replies so far---Riya finds shopping heavenly---so on a scale of 1-10---Riya gets a 10; chameli hates shopping---she is wealthy and uses personal shoppers---so chameli gets a 5---she still shops---that helps the economy---so she gets credit---a 5 rating.

I guess you are wondering how you'll be rated, right Mira ?

Rev

Mira:

You probably missed the wink-----after chami's post---she was joking about her "personal shoppers"----so the Rev just played along.

The psychiatrist comment was a joke----although many rich women are hooked on shrinks.

Rev

SO WHY DO MOST MEN HATE SHOPPING ?

Lemme pick on amral.

Amral announces every Saturday morning he is taking off grocery shopping.

So we know amral shops.

Is that an enjoyable experience amral---grocery shopping ?

How about the other guys on this forum ?

IS SHOPPING FUN OR A BORE ?

Rev

Rev I can't share the joy of shopping. One has to experience it first hand

'ello Alena 

I remember doing just that when I worked in manhattan. I was smack in the middle of bloomie on Lexington and saks on 5th. Miss those days!

There is a difference between love to shop and know how to shop.

I am in both category.

Rated? Heavens no!

I miss a lot of things on GNI; not just a wink!

Riya:

The Rev has an idea what you are talking about regarding the "Joys of Shopping."

The woman in the Rev's life views SHOPPING as a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE.hahahaha

Whatever that means!

Maybe it means---shopping for her is divine, transcendental, heavenly---only a woman would understand.

Rev

chami:

That lover of yours  must be nearly damn perfect---if that man used to stress you out---you'd likely be maxing out his credit card or debit cards at the shopping malls.hahahaha

Check this:

Rev

Mrs. Rev knows what she's talking about

shopping is my one vice I wouldn't give up

Well Riya, the Rev has a very simple philosophy---if the woman is happy---then I am happy---and I like being happy.

That philosophy works like magic---zero stress.

And if this is her philosophy:

That's cool with me.

And to be honest---I like shopping too---I have been brainwashed.hahahahaha

The December issue of GQ magazine(p 283) describes it as "the best bloody leather jacket on the planet."

It's a Balmain leather jacket--GQ says, "In an era when any dad with decent air guitar moves can pull off a black leather Joey Ramone jacket--this avant( and hella-expensive) label Balmain pushed this classic into new territory by reimagining it in oxyblood. That instantly restored the moto jacket's rock 'n' roll edge, but just to be clear there's still nothing wrong with black. Price $3,920

A man is a person that will pay two dollars for a one dollar item he wants.

A woman will pay one dollar for a two dollar item she doesn't want

Check out the new fragrance for men---page 85 of the December GQ magazine---it's Givenchy's "Gentlemen Only"

READ THE WRITE UP

Givenchy introduces Gentlemen Only for the distinguished man of today. His natural, refined elegance is a reflection of the times. 

This fragrance embodies the essential virtues of being a gentleman like the Rev: courtesy, elegance, and chivalry. It is modern yet timeless, capturing the essence of a man  who is witty, intelligent, and exceeds effortlessly in all aspects of life. A state of mind, a way of being a gentleman under all circumstances. 

Gentlemen Only is a distinct, deliberate, and charming fragrance. It is deliciously disconcerting with its blend of freshness, sensuality, and masculine qualities. A fragrance for a man of taste—a fragrance for a gentleman like the Rev.lol

Rev

Rev,

Great thread here. Interesting response from the women of GNI.

I do the grocery shopping most of the time. My wife just hands me a list of items and where to buy and I just head out and get it done. What is interesting about grocery shopping is that good looking women would start a conversation (small talk) with me while I do grocery shopping.

Is this common for women ? Or are they turned on by men who are brave enough to take a shopping cart do the grocery ?

When I shop shop for myself, I know exactly what I want and head straight to the store that I need it from and get it. In and out, no delays. The only store where I spend a lot of time is the Music Store. I love my music and sometimes I get into trouble with the wife when I get home with another collection of Vinyl (records) to add to my growing collection.

Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus when it comes to shopping.

Here's the write up in the December 2013 Robb Report:

Velvet slippers were invented for entertaining. Lately, the slipper has made a stylish comeback as the ultra elegant cousin of the loafer. Nice to kick around the home.
