The women are more than welcome to purchase the cheapest available product, including the “male product.”
Wait, are they different or something? Gee Wally, why does an apple have a different price than an orange?
Watched a special on what the difference between the expensive and cheap shampoos were on TV years ago. Conclusion: mainly the strength of the ceaning agent, quality of the fragrance and additives that condition the hair. Other than that not a whole lot of diffference. I'll keep my $5 - $10 a bottle savings thank you. I buy the expensive every once in awhile to treat myself though...: )
Not really, a lot of it is just because women will pay it. Looong time ago I went with future wife to WM she wanted a makeup removal headband, go to the makeup section and she grabs one, it was $2, and it was a pink sweatband. I’m all “that’s a sweatband, and that’s a stupid price for a sweatband”, she says “you can do better”, and I lead her to the sporting goods section, package of 3 sweatbands (not pink) $2. And it turns out the sporting goods ones were better and lasted longer than she was used to, so any difference just made it even more of a ripoff.
Stores have long understood that there are some target markets willing to pay more for the same. Either because they don’t know there’s an option, or they want to feel boutique. And the largest demographic that does that is women.
“The disturbing trend I see now is men buying these faggy jeans as well.”
Those aren’t men. They may have gonads, but they aren’t men.
“Why else would women buy their more expensive products, if the men’s were just as good?”
Marketing?
