Why do some women have to go shopping so that they "feel better"?

When I shop I feel in control! I don't go crazy with my money but when I hit the stores you know a real DIVA was there. It also makes me feel good inside and takes away what problems I may have had in that day. Shopping can, NO shopping is a great outlet to stress for some people.

Man, I have the same problem.\n\nWith mine, she's clinically depressed, and even though she takes medication, whenever she gets down, she spends money to make herself feel better.\n\nShe doesn't have to buy anything for herself...just going out and shopping, and spending gives her like a "high."\n\nI dunno what to do about it.  I've limited her access to money, but that gets to be a pain.  I would much rather trust her completely.

because people feel bad about themselves so they treat others worse so they can feel better. It is terrible and mean, but poeple feel like they always gotta come out on top.

THEY ARE TERRRITORIAL WOMEN. THEY ARE MARKING THEIR TERRITORY FOR OTHER WOMEN TO SEE AND KNOW THAT THEY'VE BEEN THERE. THEY LEAVE THEIR CLOTHING SO THEY CAN HAVE AN EXCUSE TO COME BACK...... SOMETIMES UNEXPECTANTLY!

Some women find that other women are more caring and understanding then men. They can better relate to someone with similar interests. For example: How long would a guy tolerate going to a mall with a woman that wants to spend hours on end trying on clothes and shoes? I would rather have my fingernails pulled out with pliers. Another woman would literally LIVE in the clothing department with another woman.

Don't you know you aren't ALLOWED to be sick?  That might put your husband out. LOL  I think it is because men aren't very nurturing and they don't want to see you feeling bad but they don't know how to make you feel better.  And, having to pick up your slack is annoying to them.  Let's face it, our husbands would be lost without us.

Hey girl! You are NOT alone. I am a certified shopaholic like you.  It's therapy for me when I feel lonely or bad about something. Even window shopping gets my spirits up.

Women aren't desperate they just want to settle down with someone by that it doesn't mean you can abuse them but women have lots of things to cope with like being a mother, periods, looking after the house, men, friends, family they deal with it in a long time where as men deals with their issues faster

They do it for attention and to take attention away from other women (usually to upset them and feel better about themselves).

Wished I knew the answer.  I've gone bankrupt shopping.  I have been told by therapist it is due to trying to BUY happiness that you are getting anywhere else.  Good Luck.

People insecure of themselves wear clothes from these stores to feel they're better than the others who don't. The real value of those clothes is about 1/10 of what people pays for it. The other 9/10 are advertisement and revenues

Why do women love shopping?  Because, it is their nature.

Because they in someway think they are helping you. Most people can not famthom something that doesn't or is happening to them. Stop explaining why and just say don't feel like it today, but thanks.............
