This comments are so historical – LOL.

As long as your manbag is not pink then I think you good to go

@Rick I’ll have to get me some of them badges. At the moment, I’ve only got a fading WWMD sticker.

@David That’s a damn good point! If Indiana Jones can have one, so can I!!!

Doesn’t Indiana Jones have a man bag anyway??

I could do an itinerary of what’s in mine but it’d be easier to find the Lost Ark Of The Covenant… Suffice to say that it has Geek and Fluffy badges on the outside.

[...] Crabling Otter that is Darren confessed that he carries a man bag. Needless to say Granddad is disgusted (so no surprise there). However I have a bag with me now. [...]

I had a man bag but it wasn’t big enough and the strap broke. Now I have a small(ish) rucksack. It carries my lunch, water, keys, book, newspaper – gadgets etc. I don’t use wallets at all.

Just came back from Italy, France and Spain. All blokes there have man bags. Really wanted to get one but was told that I’d be beaten up if I got one here.

Thanks for making a stand and coming out as it were!

You’ve just reminded me to clean out my own bag.
It’s a huge duffel bag for the gym though so doesn’t really count as a man bag…. I hope.
Oh and subscriptions++

@Emordino Damn right! I also keep my direct link to CTU in my manbag!

@John lmao – My wallet doesn’t tend to have anything unusual in it. Although it rarely has any money in it – is that unusual?

@Jimbo Shit, that’s a good argument. What about manboobs? Nope, that’s not good either…

(@Elordino & @John @Jimbo Welcome to the blog!)

@D2 Yeah, I was at that stage for a long time, but it’s easy to cross that line if you start bringing books with you. I always have a book or two with me.

Anything that feels the need to have the prefix man- just plain isn’t meant for a man.

If it was a real bag, for a real man, then it would just be called a bag.

man-anything = campness.

This is something that has me going around in circles. I have too much crap for my pockets, but not enough to own and carry a man bag.

I mean all I have is my phone, wallet and keys. I dont want to have a small little purse size bag, thats just too metro sexual.

Jim can you fix it for me?

I resisted for a long time but I don’t know how people of any sex function without bags! Mine typically contains lunch, books, phone, keys, wallet, pens. Optional: camera, hat, brolly, gameboy, penknife, ammunition, torch. One of those is made up.

And don’t get me started on wallets

Nothin’ metro about a manbag. If it’s good enough for Jack Bauer, it’s good enough for me.

@GM I decline to answer for fear that Grandad might have me lynched.

@Victoria Is it revenge of sorts? I used to dump everything into Lottie’s bag before I got mine. Still, hers is much bigger – she could live out of hers for a week. (Love your website’s name by the way!!)
