What is the reason many women are willing to spend money to buy and wear branded stuff? Recent studies at the University of Minnesota found the answer. Apparently,
women are often shopping for clothes, shoes or bags branded with a high
price to prevent so that no other woman is flirting or grab a partner.
The
study of the spending habits involving 650 women stated that when women
feel threatened affair began, they actually triggered buy branded
goods.
"Feeling
threatened in a relationship with the presence of other women, women
for lightning-fast trigger shopping Gucci, Chanel, Fendi," said doctoral
degree students, Yajin Wang told CBS.
According
to Wang, expensive branded shoes or handbags function like women who
wear the shield to fend off other women did not approach his partner.
This study also confirms that when women designer goods shopping main goal is not just to attract the opposite sex. When
women spend their money to get their luxury goods, this is the time
where the women are attempting to get rid of a rival romance or other
women who could potentially usurp her lover.
"When
women are showcased his luxury goods, is at once a statement for other
women to get away from the men 'hers'" explains Associate Professor
Carlson School of Management, Vladas Griskevicius.
This finding also reveals the fact that women who flaunt luxury goods indicates he has a loyal partner. This marks as well as a warning to other women not to seize the loyal man.
With
the intention of "saving" a couple of other women, women who use luxury
goods generally buy the branded product with his own money. But uniquely, other women think it is a luxury item is a gift from her partner.
"It
may sound irrational that each year Americans spend more than 250
billion dollars women's luxury products, but excessive consumption is
actually pretty smart for women who want to protect their relationship,"
said Griskevicius.
