I used to just put my stuff into the little pockets in my bag, but have since switched to sort of a pouch which was designed for a phone, but fits everything I need. But where do you put your stuff if you don’t have a bag to put the pouch in? I envy woman for being able to walk around with a bag the size of a phone without looking stupid. Do you always carry a backpack? Or do you put your stuff somewhere else?
Bruh stop caring what people think and carry a bag if you want.
I’ll never understand why guys bitch about not being able to do something because it’s not perceived as “manly”.
If you’re secure in your own masculinity then you wouldn’t give two shits what other people thought about carrying a bag, what you drive, what kind of dog you have, or any of that stuff.
Don’t worry about projecting the appearance of a confident man. And just be confident in yourself bro.
About 10 years ago I decided to embrace the idea of the man-bag, I found a handmade leather multi-compartment satchel exactly the right size at a craft-market in Hobart, Tasmania (almost exactly like this one https://kentsaddlery.com.au/products/handbag-henk-berg-solid-leather-small-16x17cm/). I don’t use it every day (I usually have everything in a backpack) but I carry it on weekends and days when I don’t take my backpack. I once had a coworker approach me and she asked where I got it because she wants to buy a nice mens bag exactly like it for her husband.
