The fact you started a thread means you're obviously insecure about having one.

Kill it with fire/punch it in the ovaries etc.

Can we have some examples here guys, there seems to be a grey area as to what qualifies a 'man bag' compared to say, a messenger bag/record bag?

Do tell.

He's secure enough to tell us he's wearing his wife's knickers

Don't have one myself, but started noticing in "24" that Jack's been using one at times in the last couple of series....

no i have one, as no doubt the staff in ocuk can verify, i think they are really useful

it has been suggested that men who really hate them are bothered overly about having their own sexuality questioned!

I thought that was more of a messenger bag tbh.

His wife's undies. O dear.

If you knew my dress sense you wouldn't be saying that.

Man Bag = Gay, and a Pain in the arse to carry. Why would I want to be lumbered with a bag everywhere I go?

I'm guessing unattractively bulging pockets are part of it??

i think it's sad that someone says 'I'm not sure if it's ok or not to have one'.

If you want one, get one, if you don't, don't. Simple as, really!

Absolutely, 100% agree

However, any wallet that holds change doesn't qualify. It is a purse

I agree.

Wallet holds money, cards and a photo of the kids/wife at the most.

Loose change - if any* in the pockets ***.

(*I usually put £1/£2 in a jar for savings, silver in a pig for emergency bus fair, copper in a USPG charity box)

Mine:

I guess it depends on the things it contains. I have one, but i use it for my laptop/uni books. I don't need to use it at any other time as i have pockets....

Why would i want to keep wallet/phone etc. in a bag, just means theyre a royal pain in the backside to access. Not for me.

Man bags are the way forward.

You don't. I know it sounds crazy, but you are allowed to go out without it, if you don't need it.
