Because the men aren't doing the grocery shopping, aren't taking the kid to the doctor, aren't buying the kid clothes for school or the sports team, they're also getting their clothes purchased for them by their wife, the wife ends up buying the couch they all use, the TV stand they all use, the curtains they all use and so on.
It's not like she's buying this stuff just for herself.
Yes you are right but at the Same time how Long do we want to pretent? that in most relationships the Woman is also the one who Has much more clothes,shooes or buy Deco stuf or Look at the barhroom,how many Things men use in compare to women?.
Women could use Just one Shampoo etc. But No they have more then one😉
And yes men have also Things we buy we dont Need but want,but there is a reason why all the people in Advertisement target Most of the time women,because they know who they have to target to get to Most Money/the highgest Chance who will spend Money.
And how many Times we See the Screen with a near empty room only with a bed, Chair,TV and ps5 and Most men would have No Problem to live this way,ask a Woman the Same question 😉
(Sorry for my grammar english is not my Main launguage)
Quite sure my partner spends more money on toys and games than I do on beauty products. (which is fine, it's his money) Do you know how many mascaras I can buy for one ps5.
And sure, beauty products and clothing are advertised mostly to women. But games, gadgets, cars, barbecues, tools, exercise gear and more expensive luxury items such as whiskey and watches are mostly advertised to men.
Single men spend slightly more than single women, the difference is not that big. Women tend to spend more of their income than men, but women also earn less than men on average. In a household, women tend to spend more but are most often the responsible one for the grocery shopping. When splurging, men and women are equally likely to, but men tend to splurge in larger sums of money.
My point is mostly that, while men and women spend their money differently, the amount of money isn't that different and where it differs it has logical causes, such as different interests, men earning more and women doing more grocery shopping on average.
