A man goes shopping because he needs something. He will decide what to buy in advance. He knows what he wants, and his aim is to find it and buy it. Most men simply walk into a shop and ask someone for what they want. If the shop has it, and the price is good, they often finish shopping in less than five minutes, to everyone39。s satisfaction. For a man, some problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants. At that time, the salesman tries to sell the man something else. He offers something that is almost the same as the article the man wants. Good salespeople say, I know this jacket is not what you really want, sir, but would you like to try it for size. It happens to be the color you like. Most men don39。t care about this and may answer, This may be the right color and the right size, but I won39。t waste my time trying it on. For a woman, it is different. Most of the time, she goes shopping not because she needs something. She hasn39。t decided what she wants before she goes shopping. She just goes to have a look around. At first, she thinks about finding something that everyone will say It looks good on you. Most women are always looking for bargains（特價商品）. A woman may easily spend an hour looking at dresses before she wants to try on. It is a tiresome（令人厭煩的） process. Most clothes stores provide chairs for the waiting husbands.（1）According to the underlined sentence in the first paragraph, we know that men decide what they want .
