Do you guys use a Murse?
Thought this was quite interesting... I don't see anything wrong with guys using these, it tells me most of the time, they are organized in their life, but not all guys are no matter what they use, or don't use, that also goes for woman with purses, or bags, what ever you want to call them. It's all a matter of choice for both men and woman.
NEW YORK (UPI) -- The man-bag -- a cross between a backpack and a briefcase that looks a lot like a pocketbook -- is gaining popularity with men in the United States.
The ABC News program "Nightline" looked into the bags, which have been popular in Europe for some time, and found that the "man-bag" or "murse" is a sign of the times.
"Guys have their cell phones, BlackBerries, wallets, checkbooks, sunglasses, body spray, you name it," ABC News' John Berman said. "And the 21st century guy wants to put it somewhere special."
Adam Rapoport, the style editor at GQ Magazine, told ABC News, "Once you are out in the work world, do you really want to be carrying a backpack when you are wearing a suit? At the same time, most guys don't want to be like their dads and carry a briefcase."
U.S. tennis star Andy Roddick, however, apparently isn't a fan of the trend. At Wimbledon earlier this summer he said, "Anything bigger than a money clip or a wallet is to be left to your girlfriend or wife."

Re: Do you guys use a Murse?
Men are why I carry a larger purse than I need.
"Honey, here, put my cell phone in your purse" "Here, keep my wallet/carkeys/etc for me"
I'm responsible when we leave the house to carry the mints, gum, asprins, chapstick, hair comb or brush, and all that crap, I think it would be great if it were him making sure everything is "packed" up and availabe for our every need. and he's the one spending the day with a couple extra pounds slung on his shoulder.

MY good friend Tinky Winky carries a large red bag all the time.
Because of this, many think he is gay .

Re: Do you guys use a Murse?
When I was single, I always carried tiny little purses, just enough room for a little wallet, compact, lipstick, keychain and that was about it...now with a husband, anytime we need to go anywhere, especially out of town for the day, I gotta carry a handbag the size of a large shopping bag...

You should get him a 'murse' and a 'manzeer'. He'd be so stylish then

I figure that since women have the extra room anyway, may as well put it to good use.

Re: Do you guys use a Murse?
I do not like to carry stuff in my hands, in the summer months, I wear these stylish cargo shorts by Columbia, with all the big pockets, and in the cooler months I wear a jacket with extra pockets.

Re: Do you guys use a Murse?
I'm all for manbags (menbag?)! my jacket usually weighs a ton carring my wallet & phone and all my usual rubbish around - and it sucks trying to pack all the stuff into a pair of jeans in the summer. Just haven't seen a bag I like yet - and we're about a generation behind the fashions here, so I'm not holding my breath.

Geeeeesh....I'm glad I live in the mts. If things don't fit in the pockets you don't need it. The only 'bag' I use is to carry extra ammo...

Re: Do you guys use a Murse?
Is a murse akin to the Bro? You remember the Seinfeld episode where kramer and george's dad came up with the ManBra....the Bro. If your Bro bothers you, you could take it off and hide it in your Murse....lmao
Seriously....I just don't take the crap with me!
