handbags

edited July 2010 in Chit chat
whats with bloke carrying hand bags these days. when did they become acceptable?

ive been seeing they a lot these days, but today a bloke had one on the train, it was light tanned leather but had two big buckles holding down the flap. it just looked like a handbag.

satchels are acceptable but not ones made out of leather.

whats with men being sissfied. they still think its ok to wear pink clothes, and light jumpers.

and also i have noticed not only do they now pull around those cases with wheels on but those case now appear to move across the floor with out being tipped at an angle.

what do they have in those bags anyway, some tampons and a lipstick. Homs.

    Manbags, like Manwiches, except you can`t eat the bags ! The world has gone Metro-sexual, but to be honest, it is the fashion industry that is the benefitting parner in this relationship and the cosmetic giants. For the benefit of Mankind, or for a bigger share of the profits ? you decide ! Whilst I go and slip on my Mankini..................................

    Men if you have something you wish you need to take somewhere you need to either -

    put it in your pocket
    hold it in your hands
    cellotape it to your back (like in die hard)

    i will accept back packs, but you have to have something geeky in there.

    plastic bags are also acceptable.

    I carry stuff about in an old Adidas rucksack. Usually just Guitar Hero controllers or an Xbox or something. Anything else goes in my pockets (I often wear combats, so I have a lot of those). :p

    agreed mile. load of sissy nonsense. I bet gok wan's got a handbag.

    on a side note, I recently found out in USA handbags are called 'pocketbooks'. where's the logic in that? they're not books, and you don't put them in your pocket. they're bags, and designed to be transported by hand. what do they call shower caps... garden sheds?

    I use a supermarket trolly and an assortment of carrier bags to transport my posessions in, also if times get tough, I can return it to the supermarket and get a nice shiny ?1 coin for it !

    I put EVERYTHING in my pockets, to the extent that my jeans hang lower due to the weight of everything (wallet + mobile phone + keys + MP3 player)

    I'm telling you, this is the only way to carry things like a true manly-man!

    I've got a pair of American 'cargo pants' with a pocket big enough for my laptop. Airlines love me when I go to check in... :D

    P.S. deadpan666 - All that proves is you don't need a handbag even if you do wear a skirt...

    What about mannish stuff, my backpack used to contain a socket wrench, an adjustable spanner, 2 sized spanners, and a set of allen keys most of the time. I also used it for beer transit, and sometimes taking games or extra controllers to my mates houses, which in effect would cover the criteria for geekiness I'm sure :D

    I used to also carry a pentel magnum in the hidden compartment should I feel the erge to tag something while I was out :lol:

    your backpack is the exception to the rule as it doubles for a head gear.

    Funny you should mention that...not 1hr ago while sitting at a traffic light a guy walked in front of me with a handbag....I almost rolled my window down to shout 'wtf'. Same with 'guyliner' and finger nail polish too.

    Whenever I got to the bar (non-gay bar I might add) there are always a couple of early 20s guys with eyeliner and or black nail polish on.....the women seem to loved it too....sad.

    no, guyliner and nail polish is not a man being sissified, thats just being a tranny.

    unless they are a goth. in which case it is acceptable.

    Hehe..yeah, I actually point blank refuse to wear kilts these days..I just stuck that up for a laugh.:lol:...Annoy quite a few folks with it too, as they want me to wear them at their weddings or on stag nights etc.

    But they're actually about as Scottish as Sake! We nicked the idea from Ancient Egyptians and Greeks around the 16th Century, and didn't start wearing it as a National dress until the 19th century....So all those films you see with Highlanders in their kilts are complete poop!

    Gary Numan wouldn't look right without his eyeliner on.

    They're not goths though they're EMO'S the one sub-catergory of humans I have a problem with.

    I've never had a problem with anybody in the past no matter how scruffy or freaky looking they've been (well with a few exceptions that just had to have the piss ripped out of them :D), but for some reason I want to hook emo people in the jaw! Is that normal behaviour? :D

    Not for someone who only had 4-5 chips on his plate...no.

    america seems worse for that sort of thing, they are always calling each other bro and hugging each other.

    i saw a thing the other night, the spike guy awards or something. it was just a load of men (including sailors) in a room going wooop wooop as they brought on male action stars. i mean it was like the mobo's but just for white beefcake men. totally gay.
