Men listen. Not just pretend listening either. How refreshing it is when a gentleman walks into my store, flashes me a smile and then actually listens to what I am saying. He takes my tips and suggestions into account, acknowledging that I actually know what I'm talking about.
Women, on the other hand, can sometimes be what I call "pretend listeners". Rather than genuinely listening- they often seem to be simply waiting for their turn to talk. Women may act interested in what you have to say, but after you are done offering your expertise- they often decide that they know better. Of course- the customer is always right- but we salesgirls DO get a little annoyed with this. Often times the customer will say they want one thing, and then pick out something completely different.
I'm talking the-customer-asks-for-a-neutral-colour-and-then-decides-she-wants-hot-pink different.
Men also seem to not be as cheap as women. Let's think about why they are shopping. More often than not - when they come into my current place of employment - they are looking for something their partner will like. Men will go above and beyond to please their women - taking whatever suggestions you throw at them.
Of course, there is the exception to every rule on either side of the debate. Sometimes a man will leave my store, leaving me shaking my head wondering what the heck he was talking about.
C'est la vie!
