Women and Their Purses: The Male Take

Our guys discover the contents of one purse.

Get the male perspective on women's purses. Should a man carry a woman's purse for her?

Can you relate?

If a woman asked me to hold her purse for a moment while she had to do something, I would. It's not going to effect my manhood to hold her purse for a moment while she takes a quick check of something else. If she wanted me to carry her purse all around while she walked with me then no because that is her property and I would not do that, just as I would not hand over my wallet to someone expecting them to look after it. In a way, if she asked me to watch her purse for a moment, I'd take it as a sign of trust on her part rather then anything negative.

yourtango is still here giving terrible advice? Ugh.

Men, if she respects you, she won't ask you to hold her purse.

NEVER EVER hold a purse. The request is purposefully immasculating.

To me, it all comes down to equality. If a woman asks me to hold her purse, I tell her to put it on the ground. If I wasn't standing there with her, then she wouldn't ask me to hold it.

And that's the whole point: Her purse is not my responsibility. I'm not a workhorse just because I'm standing there.

wow, a workhorse? It's a purse, we're not asking you tto strap on a saddle and carry us around like a princess on your back.

My boyfriend holds my purse when i ask him to and they only time i ask him to is if i need to do something or grab something really quick and if i am reaching down to fix my pants or tie my shoes because i dont want to constantly be ficxing the strap on my purse to make a 2 minute job last 10...

I think you have some seriouse issues you need worked out, good luck on that.

I always bring women their purses and let THEM reach thru it for whatever it is they want. It seems as if it is a territory violation, you know?

Well, if you ask her to carry stuff for you the least you can do is to watch her bag or holding for a second...

It's so true! XD I carry most of my life in my bag: make-up, gum, mints, lotion, feminine products, something to drink, snacks, candy, pens, an umbrella, my MP3 player, my Nintendo DS, aspirin... The one thing I'd never put in there is my cellphone, and that's because it's torture trying to find anything in my purse. :P

This is true. One day I had this strange feeling my gf's purse was a interdimensional black hole with everything in it, so I asked her (just to test my theory) if she had some vaseline 'because my face felt dry' (I was lying), AND SHE DID!! she was carrying this tiny vaseline container, It was shrunk by the gravity of her purse because it was very small. lol
