identity shopping


a form of voyeurism frequently practiced by narcissistic, self-obsessed people with unconsciously low self-esteem while walking around or riding on public transport through a busy city.

it involves making snap judgments about the appearance of members of the same s-x, e.g. clothes, hair style, build, accessories etc. the ident-ty shopper then copies the appearance of people they like the look of, and so feel much better about themselves. until they see someone better looking, then they copy them, and so on.

over time, this cycle raises the standards of dress for a large part of the population which is why people in cities always look so much hotter.
girl: “wow, you’ve gotten hot since you moved to the city! good work!”
guy: “thanks! i just try to copy all the hot guys i see walking around.”
girl: “dude, you are so gay.”
guy: “nah, it’s just ident-ty shopping.”
