«SHOPPING IS MORE AMERICAN THAN THINKING»

Do you always wonder why your partner/husband is always in a rush to purchase whatever he wants and gets out of the shopping mall as soon as possible? As per a new study recently presented, the difference in men and women’s shopping style and time they devote to the activity can be traced back to the ritual of hunting and gathering they followed in ancient times. In ancient times, men and women’s work was divided, primarily in two categories, hunting and gathering. While men went hunting in order to get food for their families, women stayed at home with children, gathered edible plants, fruits etc. and knew when was the best time to harvest crops.And as per study researcher Daniel Kruger from the University of Michigan School of Public Health, this very attitude is still being followed by men and women across world, though, on a sub-conscious level and is on display whenever both the sexes go shopping.This rule also explains why women take a lot of time on finding the right kind of household item/outfit, while men decide in beforehand of what they want, like they used to on what animal to hunt in ancient period to save time
