1. Shoppers who hunt for best deals
These are people who spend lots of time, comparing prices, quality,
search online for reviews etc because they want to make sure they are
getting the best deals. They don't mind side-track just to check
irrelevant stuff cos who knows- there might just be some fantastic
deals in that shop!
2. Shoppers who buy based on needs
One who know what he/she wants and just goes to the shop and get the
specific item. No waste time on window shopping.
3. Shoppers who buy based on wants
Ok, these peoples are the envy of most, cos they have the ability and
criteria to buy whatever they want. So long it catches their eyes, in
goes the shopping bag.
Now, let's try n match these shoppers into searching for their life
time partner, erm.. in this world we are living, life time is
inappropriate, maybe a potential spouse (which can or can't be life
time)..
Type 1 guys, well, basically should get the best deals, most of time,
cos once they make the purchase/selection, they are convinced that it
would be the best choice. Generally, these people would be happy most
of time, qn is "What is best might not be suitable for them". They can
hide their heads in the ground (just like ostrich) and be happy. But
once the soil is shaken, their world crash and they would wonder
what's the point of searching so hard when the end is as unpredictable
as the weather. Percentage of own happiness*: 50% (100% if they manage
or have the luxury to hide their head)
Type 2 is luckier as they know what they want n likely their choice
would be really long term, if nt life time. The tricky part is when
the selection is just to fulfill a current/urgent need. Then
subsequently, they get to know of a better choice? Now, these guys,
being so rational, would be miserable for a while (since they believe
in nt wasting time), trying to weight pro n cons of upgrading/
switching or staying on with the current choice. Then wala, choice
made and life goes on till they get to know a better upgrade.
Basically, their life is a continuous fulfillment, just a matter of
who does the fulfillment. Percentage of own happiness: 80% (allow some
deviation due to downtime- aka pondering on choices)
Type 3... hmmm what can i say. On appearance, they must be the
happiest cos every single day they are always with the ONE they fancy
at the moment. While beneath skin-deep, I am not too sure if they are
as happy as appearance sake. But at least, they do not depend on fate
and grab whatever they like. Percentage of own happiness: 100% (for
living life to fullness)
ok ok.. i know i'm talking craps here. How can it be as simple as
shopping.
* own happiness: self happiness, doesn't include their SO or families
or friends
