Man Purse or Not?
So, okay, I said I was reformed but then I saw this. I say Man Purse. What say you?
And I’m sure he’s a perfectly nice guy. It’s just that I noticed the murse (thank you for the new slang,fireminx).

Wow, my very gay roommate in college would call this man not very nice gay terms. Flop carried a man bag but it was a canvas olive colored messenger bag.

We call them Man Bags – and yes I agree, dodgy look!

no no no no, never, uh uhhh, no way, no how.
Men have a wallet, an attache’, or a briefcase. Techie’s can use a lap top bag, your average joe a nice black or grey back pack.
Anything else is just…ewwww….
The only acceptable deviation of this rule is the daddy who is kind enough, and secure enough in his masculinity to carry the bunny and/or ducky covered diaper bag… but you damn well better have the baby with you!

Unless this somehow had his laptop/iPad in it (and even then…he needs to get something new), then this is 100% murse.

Absolutely a man purse.
RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, come on, there’s nothing WRONG with it. It’s just a BAG. I’ve seen far more objectionable fashion statements on both women and men. On another note, am I imagining this, I thought I remembered reading that you are reformed in regards to taking pictures of people in public.

Doesn’t bother me. In fact, I think it looks a whole lot better than a fanny pack. Perhaps I wouldn’t like it if the guy had a bunch of flowery embellishments on it, but then I don’t care for that on a woman’s bag either. His murse looks tasteful to me. I just don’t see why he’d want to lug more stuff around than he has to. Personally, I like to wear garments that have pockets so I don’t have to carry a purse whenever possible.
BTW, I haven’t spotted a murse in Idaho. Yet.

I like it, because nothing is worse looking than a guy with so much stuff crammed in his pocket that he looks like he’s wearing saddle bags. Wallet, keys, cellphone, ipod…all that stuff adds up to a pretty big pile.
I think this particular guy’s is too narrow to really be masculine though. Something wider would be better, but the one he’s got is okay I suppose. In any case, it could be worse. I made my husband get one (olive canvas) and my boyfriend (cognac leather). No more bulgy pockets for my boys. Plus, if you’ve got an ipad (or a laptop that you carry around with you regularly) you have to put it in -something- to keep your hands free.
One vote for the satchel!

Uh, that’s not a purse. It’s a “carry-all.” (this is the ONLY time I will thank Miller for their advertising)
Or, in the alternative, it’s a “satchel.” (thank you Alan from the Hangover)

Purse.

This might be ok.. even possibly attractive… if his suit wasn’t so ill-fitted.
Murse…. maybe. Egotistic… definitely. This is the kind of guy that uses his only slightly impressive PSAT score to hit on women in bars.

MURSE
i have spoken.
June 14th, 2010 at 2:59 pm
It’s not so bad. Trust me, I’ve seen worse.
June 15th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
I don’t think it’s that bad, but I tend to think good looking, really clean cut guys are all gay anyways.

Murse.
But mostly I wanted to comment and ask how Susan’s lucky enough to have a husband AND a boyfriend. You go girlfriend.
June 15th, 2010 at 5:37 pm
TOTALLY a murse.
Oh, but keep in mind that context is everything in discussing murses. A murse can also be a male nurse. hehehe.

How did you refrain from asking? I wish I would have been there RE …
June 16th, 2010 at 7:48 pm
@Jenny my husband and I have an open marriage, and neither of us seem to have developed the jealousy gene. I split my time pretty evenly. You should look into it! -giggle-

It’s not a purse it’s a SACHEL!
Hey! There are skittles in there!
Alright fine. I’ve seen the Hangover one too many times big deal
