When there is really an item at hand, which has attracted the lady’s attention, she, however, would not settle the deal in great haste; usually a careful examination and a tactic bargain are involved before a satisfactory deal.　　 ［2］In contrast, men consider shopping malls as only women’s domain and can rarely understand women’s inexhaustible energy for shopping.
