No worries man. I told my wife I had to have a Day Date or I would lose track of what day of the week it was. We all have our reasons.

Third, how about a fanny pack and make it a comeback? I wore mine much longer than acceptable in the 80’s until my wife and family actually held an intervention.

He's funny, so he can wear that. Looks fine, but for the life of me I can't figure out what a man has to put in there.

Not to be too graphic but one has to wonder why it causes such testicle shrinkage to see, or imagine ourselves with a purse, man bag, etc.

We can all do a backpack over the shoulder, or a document size leather bag or even a fanny pack (when it was in style) but if it's a PURSE we run like hell screaming to the nearest biker bar to order 2 shots of Jack Daniels to reclaim our manhood.

We are kinda strange. It's just a bag that hold stuff.
I still don't understand what a man has to carry with him 24/7.

No Murse for me. I prefer NOT to wear anything that says “ look at me.” I prefer being humble and low key. I can’t stand those huge belt buckles. I use my Tumi backpack when I need to travel. Otherwise, it’s my car keys, cellphone, and wallet in my pockets.

I have to say, the gents requiring carry of all these accoutrements with them all the time sound high maintenance.

Am I wrong about that?

Edit: maybe I should ask the wives

He is funny and definitely can wear it (not that I pretend it’s up to me anyway).

I am super supportive and think it looks fine

I voted before looking and was possibly open to the idea. Then I saw the purse, hard no. What I had in my mind was way different, closer to the briefcase you got. Very nice

No man purse for me! There’s is nothing other than car keys and wallet that I need to carry daily.

:) Maybe you can carry your birth certificate, vaccination record, car registration, medical documents, and medication list.

Not a chance. If I need a man purse to carry it, I don’t really need it.

Will you wear a man purse?

If it’s a size thing, these come in 2 sizes.



Not floppy or slouchy.

In the mid-70’s everyone in So. Fla. carried a Land travel organizer bag.



Nowadays smart writers carry A5 folios.






I’m sure you can spend more for a brand that is very stylish.

That is a big NO from me.

If I had the need to carry a lot of stuff, I would opt for a backpack.

Nope, but I did wear a fanny pack at times in the early 90s for a reason I may not disclose on this forum. You can take a guess what was in it.

You took a lot of meds?

You carried a ton of cash?

You traveled with a bunch of watches?

You were a big follower of fashion?

You had a really big phone?

You had really bad allergies and carried a lot of kleenex?

OK, that's all I got.

Think this is a man purse
1. When celebs carry big bags it’s for photo ops. Bags are empty. Worker bees carry the real loads. Politicians do this too. Jimmy Carter was always photographed carrying his own empty suitcase when traveling. This was just so the public would think he was like them. Meanwhile some secret service slave was stuck schlepping around his ten bags of crap for every short trip.

2. Yes definitely a purse. Incredible how much money he has made but not my style at all.
