Men Compulsive Shoppers, Too

A recent study claims that men are just as likely to be compulsive shoppers as women. What do you think?

Old Man

Sean Harper,
Librarian
"I am not a compulsive shopper. I'm just a kleptomaniac with a strong guilt complex."

Old Woman

Lisa Grey,
Anthropologist
"This behavior harkens back to hunter–gatherer times, when the women stayed home to raise the children, while the men took to the savannah and foraged for consumer electronics."

Asian Man

Theodore Wexler,
Freelance Writer
"What are you going to tell me next—that men can be loving parents and equal partners in a marriage?"
