Sports of the World

Another culture, another sport !!!

Something for the Ladies

Considering all the other Sports i wrote about so far ,except the last post about Beach-Volleyball
I realized that they ,to the majority, are more interesting for men as for women !
And because of that  i would like to dedicate this weeks post to a sport i guess most of the females are quite interested in.

Shopping

Shopping !!!

Right now you might think that shopping isn´t really a sport but wait till you finished reading this article and maybe
i can convince you that excessive shopping has all attributes of a proper sporting activity !
So first of all i would like to give a definition of a  sport“a. Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.”
So now just think about proper shopping trip !
It is definitely a physical activity right ,i mean when iam finished with shopping i am always totally exhausted !
There are more or less rules involved . For further information look at this Page explaining the 5 most essential ones, but there
are definitely more varying from person to person.
And for the attribute of competitiveness ,either think about extremely desperate women who would do
everything to get the last pair of  fashionable footwear in a shoe store or your yearly shopping nightmares ( especially for men ) for Christmas , trying to find a very special present for your loved ones which is nearly sold out !
For a more visual picture remember the the movie : Jingle all the way ( or in German :”Versprochen ist Versprochen”) with Arnold Schwarzenegger .
And for those who haven’t seen it ,here a little trailer : Classic !!!

->  I guess at least 80-85% of all men have been in this situation .

And here also a little rating of the 10 best shopping  destinations around the world at the end . Enjoy !

  1. Of course, shopping is a true sportive activity! I mean spending 6 hours walking around always looking for SALE really turns women into sportsladies!

    PS: I know you are just joking! :)

  2. Agreeing with you and iamyourmum, shopping is definitely a sport! But that also means how sportive and active ladies are.. since we still do it perseveringly and with lots of pleasure!!
    And then look at men going shopping.. well, definitely not as perseveringly as we do, in other words, another evidence that we’re more athletic than men! :)
