The hunter mentality in out with a direct plan of action .
The gatherer mentality wander about distracted by only your field of vision oblivious to the time space continuum.
Men approach the grocery store trip following a plan of attack as per items on the search and destroy list .
Women approach the grocery store trip a bit more distracted due to the fact she is attempting to plan far in advance for a meal or a special dish to take to a gathering and something new to try while remembering the 5 year old won’t eat peas etc…
“…she is attempting to plan far in advance for a meal or a special dish to take to a gathering and something new to try while remembering the 5 year old won’t eat peas etc…”
So true. I have always postulated that male and female are fundamentally diferent because of our evolution. The female is a carer of the camp and kids, gathering all day, and keeping an eye on everything going on around her, looking out for predators and kids at risk. Hence she is adept at multitasking. Males on the other hand are hunters – single task activities. They need to focus on the prey, track them and be silent whilst closing for the kill. Males are orientated towards spacial awareness (keeping an open eye on possible attacks), signalling to the group in silence, navigating/map reading and moving softly and deftly. This is also true of our digestive systems: Men have to travel long distances over days, without food, to follow the prey to the final kill. Then it’s party time, and we enjoy our colleagues, drink and eat our fill. After which we return to the camp with the balance of our prey to be celebrated as successful hunters. Women just stand around, talk incessantly, knit, sow, cook and nurture their kids.
“Viva les differences” and forget womens lib – it’s not natural and will never work.

I know nobody cares, but I think the start and finish labels are in the wrong place. Don’t you pay and then leave? Not that you can discern that from the female example…but the mistake is obvious on the male one.

Yup, IN and OUT……that’s how guys get it done.
EDIT: I would like to add that I find the mall experience something akin to torture and is why I have not been in a mall to shop in years. Last time shopping I went in Nordstrom to buy a pair of shoes, that was last year. Retail would have gone belly up years ago waiting on me to shop.

Men want the goal, and women want the process.

This illustration is accurate with the only exception being sporting goods stores (especially those with guns and survival gear), then roles reverse. ?

They don’t just reverse, the woman usually waits in the car/truck/BOV, the man checks ammo/reloading/clearance racks and bails….
With women double back if it sparkles or says S A L E

This is applicable to most men.. except when a bass pro shops is involved. Then the images reverse.
