The Man Purse

The Man Purse

My boss carries a bag that is very much like a purse. It’s the ‘man’ purse. He gets teased about it but he, being the jovial fellow he is, takes it in stride. It’s gray on the outside and on the inside it has a deep maroon color he refers to as a ‘manly burgundy’! LOL!

It was a gift from his wife and he attends a lot of meetings and likes it because of all the compartments and he’s able to fit his portfolio and everything in it. No briefcase for him, the man purse is much better to carry around.

I say there fellas, would you be caught with a ‘man purse’ or is that too metrosexual for you?!

I have a backpack that carries the essentials and it is big enough to carry a kitten. But I don't think having a little pussy in my backpack would be necessarily an essential.... Wait... Let me think about that for a minute...


! Hahaha...oh you guys....! We have a comedic team here JUsers...take a bow you guys!!




My dad used to carry a man purse. He found it more comfortable to sit in his wheelchair and rascal without all kinds of stuff in his pockets, and having his necessities in a bag that he could sling over his shoulder more accessible.


That's why my boss carries his, (no wheel chair) but the convenience of it. And now he doesn't leave things behind anymore. I used to have to call other places searching for his belongings, not anymore!!



I wonder if mum still has that.....I think I'd like to have it if she does....


I think that's a great idea!


You know what's worse than a man purse. A fanny pack. How can any woman ever be attracted to a man wearing a fanny pack. Really I think woman wearing fanny packs look awful. Really I just fanny packs are horrible things. When we went camping my BFF wore one and I made her take it off. Friends don't let friends wear fanny packs.


! It's the popular adornment for people doing the touristy thing Loca!


Yes! I can take it to Spain with me. Then I'll just blend in - remember, the man purse does come from Europe . . .


Hehe, you would look good with it too!


Too true. The man purse is unacceptable, but the fanny pack is an outright crime against humanity.This is your brain. *cracks egg into frying pan* This is your brain if I catch you wearing a fanny pack.


! You guys are so funny!

Eeeuuww... My wife has a fanny pack (or bum bag as these are called in Australia). Despite my pointing and laughing at her, she still has it although she doesn't use it as much as she used to do. I think bum bags are hideous and have no redeeming qualities whatsoever.

! I don't blame her for not wearing it too often with you laughing at her!! I have at least two of them...and er...I don't use them much anymore either. I do what you guys do now, I carry a backpack that has my extra papers and mail and 'stuff' in it. And of course I always carry a handbag or what Americans refer to as pocket book.

When I first came to the US I always thought it was weird calling a handbag a pocket book. To us in the Caribbean a pocket book is that, a pocket book diary or address book! It took me a while to get used to that terminology. That and spelling some words the American way, like check and favorite and color and of course, happily announcing that I'm a gay person, meaning I'm just a happy, jovial person. Back in the day of coming here, boy the errors of my ways!!

pocket book


Yeah, I was confused by this when I first heard it too. But doesn't 'pocketbook' also refer to a man's wallet?

And very well played too


Why thank you, m'am, on behalf of the whole circus

As in 'man purse'?! I've never heard that though, a wallet is a wallet!

Cute thread.

I bought a $60 pink "urban sling" diaper bag. Haha. When Adrian gets home, I'm SO going to make him carry it!
