According to research by PayPal, the online payment provider, men are starting to outspend women over the internet by 
more than £600 on average. It’s not difficult to see why. The ease of buying online, especially for men, is very appealing. From the comfort of your chair, you are able to visit several sites at once and compare prices and products. No more crowds and no more queuing at the tills.
Gender difference
It is well-known that men and women have different shopping habits. While women favour the ‘shop till you drop’ approach, men know what they want and tend to buy specific products. Women make shopping a social activity and go out in groups of girlfriends to get opinions and feedback on potential purchases. In general,men dislike the hassle of shopping and trailing around several shops trying the beat the crowds and the queues. They shop out of necessity.
The Daily Mail has published a short entertaining article on why men hate shopping. In this article, the writer reveals a survey blames pushy shop assistants instead of men’s female partners taking ages to decide on which pair of shoes to buy. Loud music, queues and crowds were also blamed on putting men off shopping.
Internet impact
The internet has changed all this. Men are not buying in store as much as before now; they are buying online. As they favour targeted purchases, they are able to search for their products online and make their search as wide as possible without being confined to geographical limits. Women in contrast prefer to browse and make on-the-spot decisions. This is also possible on websites by browsing through the categories.
