Show Page Two - The Pyramid - October 6, 1999 (Q) Ini Merrill Ogden Hunters, gatherers A week or two ago, I heard a piece on National Public Radio (KUER) which dealt with the "science of shopping". Part of the report was an interview with an expert on the differences between the shopping attitudes of men versus women. The startling statistic was announced: "Women like to shop more than men do!" (Everyone all together now: "Gasp!") The expert explained some of the philosophy of shopping and why women are more attuned to it than men. It seems that this shopping thing goes back to mans prehistory. Back in those "Alley Oop" days when men carried clubs and drug the women around by the hair, the shopping tendencies were formed. The theory is that the women were the gatherers and the men were the hunters. Armed with that basic premise, we flash through the interim several thousand years to us here today. If a Sanpete man needs a pair of jeans and he cant get his "gatherer cavemate" to go fetch them, hell treat the need as a hunt. He knows where his "prey" is, so theres no need to "beat around the bush." Its a search and destroy mission which need not go further than the nearest Sanpete dry goods store. Get in there and obtain the objective and get the heck out. If it can be done in 10 minutes or less, all the better. Theres absolutely no need to look left or right when striding toward the intended purchase. Browsing? Whats that? The female "gatherer" on the other hand is a different story. The purchase of jeans may be the primary objective, but dont let the primary objective get in the way of "gathering." Heck, we may need to browse through eight different stores and gather a dozen items before we unrelated settle in on the purchase of the jeans. I dont know how true this malefemale shopping theory is in real life. I do know how long it took last Saturday as I accompanied two teenage girls on a quest for jeans. I also know that there are millions of dollars spent in research on how to package, position and market everything that we as consumers open our wallets to buy. Its not an accident that the cereals are at eye sugar-coate- d level for the kids who watch the advertisements during the television cartoons. Retailers, according to the radio report I heard, are now working hard to "tune in" to the adult male so as to attract him to the new shopping centers. Look for more entertainment based shopping. (Males get bored easily). Beware and prepare, men of Sanpete, the psychologists are on the attack. Keep a hand on your wallet and your eyes open or youll wind up with your "hunting spear" retired to the mantle and a "gathering basket" strapped to your back. P.S. Reminder: It's Snow Colleges homecoming week. Saturday will be the parade and football game and other activities. Congrats to Sanpetes football winners from last week.
