Would you like to compare the number of products marketed to women daily on networks like QVC and HLN to the random products sold to men, who may or may not have small peckers?

Sure, get back to us when you find some good stats.

Easy there! If I knew how to post pictures I'd be tempted to prove you wrong right now lol.

It's all good :)

Oh, lady, don't be silly...we already know women shop more than men, therefore, more products are marketed to women.

We have decades of research to prove as much. We can discuss how these studies show that women are basically retarded when it comes to shopping. Let me know if you'd like to continue. Here are a few examples:

Create an Emotional Connection

Because women buy on behalf of so many other people, their purchasing decisions often carry more emotional weight. Ensure that your marketing makes an emotional connection with the women you’re targeting, because a purely functional sell can fall flat. Having a gender-balanced marketing team will help you better identify the communication nuances that will make women think, “these people understand my life.”

Make no mistake: there is nothing wrong with shoes, handbags or sparkly things (I assure you they are all welcome in this writer’s closet), but it’s critical to stay grounded in the real reasons women buy, or you risk being viewed as tone-deaf in your marketing. Because no matter how fast technology advances or how frequently people change the way they shop, one thing remains the same: women are the shoppers of this world, and understanding why she buys is the best insurance policy there is.

Women vs. Men – Gender Differences in Purchase Decision Making

There is a decade worth of scientific research on this subject, which shows that there are observable differences in how men and women behave as shoppers. It’s clear, men and women think differently about shopping and will approach the act of shopping online in different ways.

2. Men’s motives for shopping appear to be more utilitarian, whereas women’s shopping motives tend to be hedonic

According to Mpinganjira, M (2014) research shows that customers have a range of underlying motivations triggering their shopping behaviours, but there are essentially two types of shopping motives:

Utilitarian: The conscious pursuit of an intended consequence. Essentially, meaning you’re shopping “to get something done”.

Hedonic: Related to intrinsic and emotional responses. In other words, you’re shopping because you love it.

The hair/skin products deal is way worse. And, why do they need laxitives so damn often?

You're right, I have no answer for this:

You tried one of those boards? Clearly you haven't if you don't think it's a good core workout.

Have you used one, yes or no?

You're about to try to teach me about fitness and "core" workouts

For frick sake.
