Man Bags - a good thing or not?
I've lived in Spain for a year now and am starting to embrace being a 'European' - I kiss women on both cheeks now without grabbing their ****, I eat lot's of typically mediterrean foods, have learnt Spanish (badly) and I've even got a suntan at last. However, I'm worried I may now be embracing styles and fashions as well.
In the big cities local to me (Malaga and Seville) the young guys carry 'man bags' - like a handbag but used for 'man' things....They are like a record/courier bag type thing and they take them everywhere.
I just want to know - is this a big no-no or not for a hetrosexual type of guy? Bare in mind we have to carry ID and our driving docs around etc, it could make sense. So....man bags; new fashionable accessory or a definate no-no?

i have 2.
i put my laptop in them when i take my laptop out. less visible than a laptop bag.
don't usually use them other than that.
they're not gay either!
we don't club women anymore and drag them around by their hair you know
any of you manbags-are-gay peeps use moisturiser or hair products?

The accepted Dutch expression for one of those things is a "flikker tas" i.e. a "gay bag".
There really is no good reason for a heterosexual man to even entertain the possibility.

It would seem that by adding the word 'man' in front of another word actually means 'gay' or 'female like'.......... as in 'Man - bag' or even 'Man - breasts'

I struggle to think what you would actually put in one that could not be put in your wallet/pocket.
Other than Hairspray/make up/purse/rampant rabbit, obv.
To be fair, if one of my mates had a man bag, I wouldn't call him gay, he would simply be a cvnt

They can all relate to feminine like things.
Man hole (as in bumming)
Man ager (as in a cvnt)
