Oh my... When will folks learn. Even if you're a dude, if it's too big to go in your pocket, it holds your ID and money items and has no straps... its still a clutch purse.
If it's too big to go in your pocket, too small to hold anything useful, holds your ID and money and has a strap - it's still a purse.
No man should be wearing tights to a social event unless it's part of a period costume - and then you'd best have a sword.
And for just about anyone jeggings are a horrible idea.

Knowing what's fashionable and not is also cause for man card revocation. Just sayin'.
I carry a purse. Yes, that's right, I didn't say satchel, I didn't say shoulderbag, I said purse. I'm secure as hell in my manhood and for carrying around a full size Leatherman, a netbook, and a pair of prescription sunglasses it's a helluva lot more convenient than looking like Batman with a utility belt.
It no longer looks like I have a square wang in my pockets from my phone either. Do I catch jabs about it on occasion? Ohhh yeah. Do I then hear "you were sooo friggin right" when someone else cracks and picks up a purse of their own? Oh yeah. I don't carry it all the time, but when I need my standard redneck/nerd toolkit it's pretty damn handy.
Plus it's a very convenient place for storing my tampons.
I have Prada shoes.. a few couture suits.. several hand made suits... I like dressing up, my hot wife likes it, her hot sister likes it.
I also know how to dismantle multiple types of engines and do all my own treework, felling and splitting.
And I can rock my little girl to sleep.
And I smell great.
It all comes with being a man... dressing up and down... putting it in.. and taking it out.
I gave up my "Man" card a long time ago in favor of my "Superman" card.
:-)
Nothing wrong with a a good suit an nice shoes...
They are a long way from jeggings and a purse.
Oh Artful.. the murse carrying IZ_.

i see what you're getting at.

...not that there's anything wrong with that..
Have you SEEN my calves? Heels make those things POP.

Makes that POP too
Lol I think that's the beer, not the heels.
I can also put beer in my purse. Just sayin.
I use a Maxpedition Remora Gearslinger (http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/Remora-Gearslinger-2p384.htm (http://www.maxpedition.com/store/pc/Remora-Gearslinger-2p384.htm)) for concealed carry during the warmer months... fashionable yet functional. I also use it while riding. Haven't had anyone say anything yet.
That looks designed to be carried on the back. I think you transform from small pack/gear bag once it's carried on or in front of the hip. Also same should-same hip is a danger zone. Cross body strapping is less pursey

You can call it anything you want and even put a gun in it, it's still a purse. Own it. I would carry with mine but without getting political, it ain't happenin' in MD.
That's a nice purse, looks durable as hell.

Yep, I proudly call it my Man Purse (a.k.a. murse). And yes, they are built tough.
Attaboy. Viva la Pursolution.
i just carry my patagonia (yes patagonia) messenger bag.
It is my man-bag.
I have a smaller timbuk2 that i use when i dont' want to carry such a big bag.
i also wear a kilt regularly. call it what you want. jsut be comfortable with yourself
except for jeggings. those are just annoying.

Yeah, the no carry laws in MD suck. When driving north in a car,
to stay legal, I have to pull over, unload the pistol, separate the ammo from the magazine, lock the gun, store the ammo in a different chamber in the car, and hope I don't get pulled over. SUCKS!
Yup. Every time I go to the range. Love it.
My purse would be quite the fashionable gun tote though.
The Timbuk2 Bag is awesome. I own 2 of them.
Also 2 pairs of Sandals. (Don't Know when they became Mandals) I wear the sandals most of the time. My feet no longer stink from being wrapped in socks all day, every day.
If you ask me a couple of the suits I wear seem a little on the Ghey side, but my wife likes them.
We don't do gun laws on this forum.

If you want to carry a purse...that's fine.
Weapon or lipstick still a murse/purse. Back pack is a back pack. Still not sure about the fanny pack/waist bag thing. If you are on a bike you get a pass but at any other time, hmmmm.
I have no problem with murses, fanny packs, real kilts, utili-kilts, man jewelry or man heels (of both the Tom Cruise & RuPaul variety).
My eyes have been seared enough to become immune to hipster jeggings.
But WTF is up with mankinis?!?!?!?!
wha'ts wrong with kilts? >:(

I love The Onion, but what does my refusal to pay my gambling debts have to do with my qualifications for wearing a kilt?
tights and codpieces should come back into style
and floppy hats with ostrich plumes
I want to be a Metro-Canterburian

it seems that I have offended someone here for the last time and so rather than a pissiing match I am taking my leave. I apologise for being so crass and uncouth and so unladylike. I hereby resign my membership to the DMF ,never to return. Thanks for all your help everyone, seem I am just not the right kind of person to be here. Those of you who have my email address can contact me that way those that I have spoken to on the phone about their own gender and crossdressing issues I hope that you get help and are able to live as I do, free and at peace with yourself in todays society. Those with divorce and drug and alcohol issues that have contacted me , the same is for you
I am being chastized by someone here because they find my remarks offensive but its ok for others to say worse things about more serious subjects?
Goodbye and ride safe.

Oh stop being a drama queen [cheeky]
I personally strive to "lower the bar" here constantly and have yet to see you post one thing on the board that comes close to matching my more egregious efforts
to the contrary what you post has been fine (by my standards)
stop being so damn thin skinned...I enjoy your visits and posts...please stick around
people always have the option of not reading the content of those whom they find offensive....
I am sure I have a good non-following in that regard as well

If there are enough people around someone will surely get offended. That's life. No need for either a pissing match or leaving the board.
dang ... anyone offended by that doesn't belong on a motorcycle themed board.
everyone needs to have another cold one and relax. [drink]
I'm confused... this thread went from entertaining to crap in about .03 seconds...
This is just like when my parents split up...

Yes. Because you touch yourself at night.
Quote from: Artful on September 22, 2011, 09:10:38 AM
Yes. Because you touch yourself at night.
is the time of day significant in your judgement?
More than you would think.
i'd rather him do it at night. people are at work during the day. night = home. i don't care what he touches at home as long as he washes up.
The Rules:
1. If you are over forty, and you have a washboard stomach, you are a queer. It means you haven't sucked back enough beer with the boys and have spent the rest of your free time doing sit-ups, aerobics, and doing the Oprah diet...Fag.
2. If you have a cat, you are a FLAMING homo. A cat is like a dog, only gay -- it grooms itself constantly but never scratches itself, has a delicate touch except when it uses its claws, and whines to be fed. And just think about how you call a dog... 'Killer, come here! I said get your ass over here, Killer!' Now think about how you call a cat...'Bun-bun, come to daddy, snookums!' Jeeezus, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit, you're so queer.
3. If you suck on lollipops, Ring-Pops, baby pacifiers, or any such nonsense, rest assured, you are a Gaylord. A straight man only sucks on BBQ ribs, crab claws, raw oysters, lobster backs, pickled pigs feet, or tits. Anything else and you are a Homo in training and undeniably a fag.
4. If you refuse to take a dump in a public bathroom or piss in a parking lot, you crave a deep homosexual relationship. A man's world is his toilet; he defecates and urinates where he pleases.
5. If you drink anything other than regular coffee, you're gay. A straight man will never be heard ordering a 'Decaf Soy Latte'. If you've put a Decaf Soy Latte to your lips, you've had a Johnson there too.
6. If you know more than six names of non-standard colors or four different types of dessert other than ice cream, you might as well be handing out free passes to your ass. A real man doesn't have memory space in his brain to remember all of that crap. If you can pick out chartreuse or you know what a 'fressier' is; you're gay. And if you can name ANY type of textile other than cotton or denim, you are an ass-pirate.
7. If you drive with both hands on the wheel, forget it, you're dying to tune a meat whistle. A man only puts both hands on the wheel to beep at a slow driver or to cut the prick off. The rest of the time he needs that hand to change the radio station, eat a hamburger, or hold his beer.
8. If you do not show this off to all the males you know because you are afraid of hurting their feelings then you are definitely on the verge on being a pole smoker.
So remember the rules, or keep that gay stuff to yourself.
IN BEFORE THE LOCK!
