The Man Purse
Can someone explain these things to me? It doesn't escape me that men have a lot of crap they want to take with them, cell phones, wallets, etc. but there are right ways and wrong ways to handle it. One wrong way is the man purse. Sure it's got lots of room for your "man things", but look at yourself. Seriously, stop and look at yourself in the mirror. I saw this questionably straight guy in the customer service line at Best Buy the other day. He had this sack that wasn't just hanging from his shoulder, but it was slung across his chest, let's call it the French Bandalero look. Now this guy may have liked the fashion statement, and anyone using one as an accessory...you keep right on using it, I'm not talking to you.
My advice to every other guy is this: think about getting one of these, either A) a coat with big pockets, or B) a backpack. In either case your going to get something that can hold all your stuff and you'll look far less like you have gender confusion than if you haul around a purse.
There are limits on being practical, and this is one of them.

Oh, I never said that a coat with big pockets or a backpack are more fashionable. In fact, they're probably not which makes them even better options.
To added to the Colonel's hypothesis, it really concerns me how much you think about fashion.
Oh, and thanks for the compliment about not being a fashion expert. You're a good friend, even if you are questionably straight.
Let me give all of you a little tip. As a general rule, a person of any gender looking for fashion statements from the opposite gender (don't care if it's for the pure fashion of it OR for practicality's sake) is making a bad choice.
Therefore, a man looking to carry a purse, pierce a body part (e.g., ear, nipple), wear his hair long, etc. is potentially targeted as one who is not entirely sure of his manhood. A woman wearing a plaid flannel shirt, khakis and workboots may be considered more of a man.
