Women Buy More Tech Than Men
Computerguy5 writes "According to a Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) study, released at this past Consumer Electronics Show (CES), women accounted for $55 billion of the $96 billion dollar market. 40 percent of women surveyed responded that they were treated better when accompanied by a man. CNN reports on the findings."
Does technology include items such as vibrators?
What's in a sig?
That could explain why they need to keep buying new stuff.
I have been pwned because my
they constantly break shit and are too stupid to fix it. Answer: buy a new one.
Just because they sell "personal" massagers at The Sharper Image, that doesn't make them tech.
It's not just tech, either - lots of women are conned at car dealerships or other sales places. Even if she's smart - she's probably too trusting.
<sarcasm>Yeah, them darn dumbass women, who the fuck let them out of the kitchen?</sarcasm>
Does your fiancee know that you regard her sister as a 'tard?

Stupidest story ever...
I hope you drop dead choking on your own vomit you piece of shit asswipe/asshat

"But honey, I thought you needed this 1GB Sony memory stick for your computer! You always complain that it needs more memory... How do my nails look, by the way, guess how much I saved?"
If they give ya any trouble, do as I do:
'su root' then FSCK them. Hint: Don't stop till their inode buffer is full.
I'd rather be a conservative nutjob than a liberal with no nuts and no job.
We try, but it's not easy considering that so many women *are* brainless bank account draining bimbos.
Half the population has tits. If you think yours are so much more 'distracting' than the rest of womankind's, then maybe it's just you. Here's an idea, stop wearing that pushup bra. Oh wait, then it would be more difficult to attract men.
Its not sexist, you have just been indoctrinated in our politically correct matriarchy. The reality is women spend the vast majority of all money in this country, and virtually all advertising is oriented towards them.
Women are the driving force behind the materialistic consumer society currently thrust upon us. They are the ones who are addicted to fashion, susceptible to the influences of advertising, and unable to understand the importance of frugality in an increasing uncertain world.
This shouldn't be surprising.
The root word of "materialism" is mater, or woman in latin. It has been known for thousands of years that women have an unusual predisposition to the acquisition of useless crap.
So what if CompUSA isn't so inviting to chicks. We build gigantic 500,000 square foot shopping malls that cater to this female vice of materialism. They are temple's to the feminized society we have become.
Most men are also sick of the insulting advertisements we have to constantly endure EVERYWHERE. You cannot watch the goddamn news without seeing yet ANOTHER ad that depicts the guy as being a stupid idiot, and woman being the clever and intelligent one. They are tired of a world increasingly hostile to their innate tendencies and vices (aggression) yet elevates female vices to obscene levels.
The only sexism in this country is directed towards men, and it has been a relentless advance since late victorian times and the prohibition movement. Men are drunks. Men are perverts. Men always want to violate the viriginal women's purity. Men are irresponsible. Men are violent and warlike. Men can't parent. Men are insensitive.
You see, the issue with computers and technology in general is that it is something that is completely outside the mental comprehension of females. Women can be code monkeys, but they lack the vision and drive to create something completely original. They aren't fascinated by technology, for them it is a job or for superficial status.
What you are seeing on this board is just the tip of the iceberg. It is in a small way, another rejection of the matriarchy in which we now live. Our happy, feel good, productive society of mothers and babies, peaceful living, Dr. Mom, healed boo-boos, catalogs, herbal shampoos, make- up, fruity lotion, high heels, Pria bars, television, yoga, vegetarianism, wonder bras, boy bands, hair spray, fashion slaves, pacifism, seduction...
In the heart of every man is REVERSION to these female tendencies. It is the rage of masculinity, the desire to surmount the hideous emptiness of life. We are driven to fight and to create, to paint beautiful paintings, write powerful music, engineer complex tools, and die in glorious battle. Despite these powerful abilities men have also evolved great tolerance just like a beast of burden.
They work at jobs they hate to get women shit they don't need. They tolerate our corrupt society to keep a smile on her face. They justify pathetic wars to satisfy her various materialistic wants. They are meekly give her what she wants to stop her whining.
Some day, the rage will destroy our culture, but not today. What you see instead is minor rebellion. A few men eschew women all together and become homosexuals, finally freeing themselves from the vaginal leeches. Most just let their contempt come out in casual instances like this board.
I suggest you relax with the occasional expressive posting. When anarchy finally falls upon us, as it has in every culture that idolizes feminine virtue and condemns masculine virtue, you will have far more to worry about.
The pendulum has swung to far in favor of females, and balance will soon be restored.
I don't read or respond to AC posts
Does anybody else notice that the only people posting comments are men trying to explain the phenomenon? Maybe the reason they buy more is the same reason they don't go to this site: they're not nerdy enough to know what's truly worth buying
68.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
Women buy more than men. What's new? I sign my paycheck over to my wife because if I didn't, at the end of the month I'd have a lot of empty beer cans and a bunch of bills. Point of fact: Women are much better with money and bills. This alone is a good reason to get married. Plus, sex all the time.
