I have to carry around a wallet, cigs, a lighter, a cell phone plus some other shit.

1. I like it....

I see no problem with men carrying bags. I don't know how you guys do it without purses.

[LeftyFingerPop]

2. I stuff everything into my shirt pocket and...

I have to walk around all hunched over. I even put my laptop in my shirt pocket.

3. Well, all is cool, but possibly for the name, 'man bag'.

It has such an uncomfortably testicular vibe going on.

Other than that, I think it's very practical.

4. I know! That's what the site calls them...

I went to the grocery store today and I had really baggy shorts on. I was afraid that if I put my wallet in the pocket, they would fall down...seriously. So I had to put my wallet in my shirt pocket.

I have to get something...

7. Well, take all that cash out of there and lighten the load!

And then buy an Iphone and stick that in your shirt pocket, roll your cigs up in your tee shirt sleeve...and there you have the solution.

[LeftyFingerPop]

8. Hey! That's a good idea!

If I roll up the cigs in my sleeve, people can see my tattoo!

[S n o w b a l l]

9. What's your tattoo?

[LeftyFingerPop]

10. The busts of the DU admins on Mt. Rushmore.

[S n o w b a l l]

12. Oh, dear....

With the new rules, I dare not comment on that.

[LeftyFingerPop]

15. Don't worry...the new rules do not mention Mt. Rushmore.

[Swede]

5. But first,you have to turn in your dude card.

Sorry.

[LeftyFingerPop]

6. Hey man...

I was wearing pastel pink dress shirts and shocking pink ties back in the 80's at work... Stuff like that doesn't bother me. :)

[Swede]

14. Yes,but you were suppose to dress like that in the 70's.

:shrug:

[LeftyFingerPop]

16. No, that was in the 80's. In the 70's, I wore a powder blue leisure suit...

I loved that thing.

11. Mine set me back three bucks

at the army surplus store.

[LeftyFingerPop]

13. Now that's a good idea right there...

Looks like it holds a lot?

19. Remember Indiana Jones' satchel?

Same thing, except that one was British... and an anachronism...

It's a good size. When I need to carry more stuff, I break out the laptop bag.

[Kali]

17. well as a woman who does NOT carry a purse (ugh)

I think you will probably hate that thing as it has a wrist strap - I recommend something with a shoulder strap so your hands can be free (to rummage through the bag looking for some small item lost on the bottom)

cute that the brand (?) name is piel - skin/leather in Spanish

[LeftyFingerPop]

18. thanks Kali...

Good idea...

[pitohui]

20. not a man but i have a similar bag

i don't use it as much as i thought i would but i'm a female so on multiple occasions i actually break out the fancy beaded purses or some such

it's fine, in my opinion, go for it

[MajorChode]

21. What's wrong with getting a fanny pack?

[pokerfan]

24. nothing

except don't call it that in the UK! :rofl:

[mwdem]

22. I bought my son in law a "Diaper Dude"

and he was into manbags before that. He is a stay at home dad, but man bags rock!

23. a backpack is what you need. they make all shapes and sizes

these days. they have all kinds of compartments and hidey spots.
