Passage Two
Questions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.
Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it isfor a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose issettled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is tofind it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walkinto a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it instock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceedsat once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less thanfive minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not havewhat he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case thesalesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else——heoffers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings outsuch a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. "I know thisjacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size?It happens to be the color you mentioned. " Few men have patience withthis treatment, and the usual response is: "This is the
right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting mytime and yours by trying it on. "
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost everyrespect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based onneed. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she isonly"having a look around". She is "always open to persuasion;indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells
her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any numberof things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something thateveryone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellentsense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for theunexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spendan hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, beforeselecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, butapparently an enjoyable one. So most
dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
