I voted no, BUT.  I've always been pissed off that women don't have to stog their pockets full of shit.  My ass has a permanent dent from my wallet.  If I put it in my left rear pocket, my back gets sore.  I've got an MEC one shoulder bag, that I used as a diaper bag when my girl was young.  But that also carried shit I needed, so I could disguise my man bag.

I would embrace the courier bag/back pack use of a man purse if society deemed it ok.

I voted no.  Is that thing you have a man purse TK, I don't know these things.  I'd say a backpack was more manly.

I never wear my wallet in my back pocket.  If I'm wearing a jacket I will put it in my jacket pocket.  If I'm going out for the night I only take cash, a credit card and a debit card, and sometimes my license, and just put them in my pants pockets.  If I do need my wallet and I'm not wearing a jacket I will put it in my front pocket, it fits there fine as long as you are not wearing jeans.  That is what I have to do when I am at work.

SMG I've never heard the work stog before.

I use that word quite a bit.  I guess it's slang for overstuff.  One of those words I guess.

Urbandictionary

6.     stog     
   7 up, 12 down    
   

To shove something into a tight place, in a less-than-gentle fashion. You can make it fit!

Person one: "Oh, my suitcase is full. I can't fit anything more in it, I don't think!"
Answer one: "You could stog a few more pairs of socks in the corners, I betcha."
Answer two: "Nah, stog 'er in there!"

I voted yes. It's perfectly fine. Truth be told, we women are tired of carrying your wallets, keys, cell phones, etc. in our purses and bags. Just because your George Costanza sized wallet hurts your back or an ill placed set of keys in your front pocket might cause sterility, doesn't mean we should have to carry the load. :P

Kyle, I love your Jack Bauer bag. I see you're also wearing the House, MD "Everybody Lies" t shirt, which is very fashion forward. I think your getup would be Tim Gunn approved. I'm also digging the shoes your companion is wearing. She looks familiar, yet I can't quite place her.  ;)

No kidding Dirty Dancin! She really looks familiar! ;)

I agree a man-purse is ok in some situations, heck I don't always feel like carrying around a ton of crapola, why can't a dude do it for once?

A girl actually told me that years ago.  It was then that I stopped wearing a wallet in my back pocket.

The only purse a man should have holds 2 balls in it.

That one made me and my co-workers laugh when I read that out loud!

PS; I think the correct term for it is a "murse."

Yes, but a nice big bulge in the back pocket ($$$) can be as attractive as one at the front!  :perv1:

I voted yes.. I am a chick.  If Terry had one of those Kylepurses then I could store all my crap in it.  He has the wallet in the front pocket - never in the back.  I don't see a huge problem with it unless the actual bag is uberfeminine.

Don't you front pocket wallet dudes wear pants that fit?  I know I can barely get my keys out of my pocket when I'm wearing my normal pants.  I wouldn't want my wallet there.

I do have a money clip for when I want to show my sweet ass off, like in my sexy dress pants/golf pants. 

I just in the past few years got rid of my velcro wallet.  Now it just has an elastic around it.

I said No.
However, when I am filming crap I usually carry a camera bag which looks like a purse so I try to use the hand strap as much as possible to make it look less like one.
I usually carry my wallet every where. It stays in my right front pocket unless I am wearing a jacket. Then it goes in the right jacket pocket.

I voted No, the words of the classic Seinfeld episode keeps popping into my head. Just substitute the Name Jerry with Kyle in the following quotes from that episode  :P  :lol:  ;)  ;)

Kramer: Jerry, you forgot your purse.

Jerry: Oh, thanks.

Kramer: Hey, Silvio, look at Jerry here, prancing around in his coat with his purse. Yup, he's a dandy. He's a real fancy boy.

Jerry: Maybe this isn't my coat.

Kramer: All right, you're not fancy!

Silvio: No, he's very fancy! Want me, love me! Shower me with kisses!


Sybil Fawlty: Don't shout at me, I've had a difficult morning.
Basil Fawlty: Oh dear, what happened? Did you get entangled in the eiderdown again? Not enough cream in your eclair? Hmm? Or did you have to talk to all your friends for so long that you didn't have time to perm your ears?

Someone has to set the trends, it might as well be me and Jack Bauer.

In season 1 of the office (US), Dwight K. Schrute bought a purse from the travelling purse lady.  But it wasn't a man purse, just a pretty ladies purse
