    Do you have one? Secretly want one? Disguise it as a gym bag or backpack?

    Come out and join the rest of us that embrace the man purse.

    DISCLAIMER: Make sure that it is NOT a real purse or hip/fannypack.

    I carry a Timbuk large messenger bag. Why? Well it large and guys we like big things. I have two kids. It carries all their stuff, mine and my wife's. Also it is great for work as I can take my running gear, lunch and books while still being comfortable. It is waterproof and hard to pickpocket. Durable as leather chaps and custom colored.

    Use a manly backpack/briefcase, etc if you need to carry stuff. Purses are for girls. :D

    No murses. Ever ever ever. No fanny packs either. Not even the new-age 100$ ones. Its still a fanny pack. You could use a messanger bag and be okay. Heck, I'd say its your best bet. If you want a messanger bag and still want to look good, I'd suggest a nice leather one. Just because you've got an 8 month old throwing up on one arm, doesnt mean you cant have a sweet bag on the other.

    Laptop case and files for work. Period. If I wanted to carry a purse, I'd have that operation. :rolleyes:

    No man bag here...just a rather lawyerly looking briefcase and occasionally the laptop case.

    I walk to and from work and I carry my lunch, folding umbrella and a few other odds and ends in a black canvas tote bag. Hey, I’m 53, if anyone thinks I look less than manly carrying a tote bag, I don't care – it’s practical and convenient and that’s all that matters to me.

    I prefer my Satchel, or I have an old camera bag I use as well, or a sporran depending on my attire. It doesn't offend me if anyone confuses any of them for a man purse.
