I don't actually give it a thought, for living in New York City anything goes... Believe me, I've seen it all, bubble_tea.
However, having given your pix some thought, I am thinking right now: "He is just being helpful carrying things she may find are heavy while walking." If you're like my mom, you have a Perfect Purse that carries everything from soup to nuts. These are things she doesn't want to leave home without. I have even heard her tell me her shoulder hurts.
Also many times, I see guys, maybe Gay, maybe just class act, carry 'European bags' on their shoulders. That's Actually an eye opener, but again, not unusual.
Now, that's 'Cute ' and maybe Uncanny for some. I wonder as I also sit and ponder, why no one has ever Asked That Question in reference to: When you see a man carrying An-------All purpose purse?:)) xx

[bubble_tea]

What does an 'European bag' look like? something like this www.jadicted.com/.../the_hangover15.jpg ? I have no idea what they look like, and I live in Europe lol

It is rather uncommon where I live, but on vacation in East Asia, I see it everywhere. Guys even ask the girls for their very girly looking small handbags. It's refreshing to know that it's not just an "east Asian custom", but there are guys doing it all over the world despite being called "whipped" or "well-trained" by "alpha" wannabes.

[Paris13]

lol.. It's like a brown big purse like that carries everything... But just to see a guy with a handle purse like saddle bag is kinda---Cute... Europe huh? I'm loving it! xx

[Paris13]

Wow, saw the pix, sweetie... Even bigger than this with more pockets like at times...

[bubble_tea]

Do you mean messenger bags? www.nylonbagshop.com/.../...senger-bag-for-men.jpg
I think 50% of the guys over here carry them.
These lh3.ggpht.com/.../...ntracte_galerie_principal.jpg are not so popular, but I've definitely seen men walking around with these.

yeah, Switzerland actually.

[Paris13]

Yes, very Similar, but more of a leather look... Looks cool instead of a guy's average knap sack... xx

She's not an invalid nor is she and old lady. She can carry her own purse. I wouldn't want a guy carrying my purse for me. Now, if I needed to sign something or pick up a child or whatever and I needed him to hold it for a few minutes, then fine. BUT, I have managed to hold mine all on my own for my entire life while doing everything else.

[findingdreamland]

He is just a gentleman. No need to over think. Sometimes I really get tired. Shopping bags, purse can be very heavy. It would be sweet if my partner helped. That is it. On a regular day, I can carry my own purse. I would not ask for it.

[IrishSprings]

My boyfriend does it when I ask him but he doesn't regularly. He always holding the straps all weird talking about its not manly but takes it if he thinks its to heavy for me. Lol.

[bubble_tea]

Mine too, but he complains about the heaviness of my purse and my need to carry things with me that I don't use in the end lol

[IrishSprings]

Mines does too. He claims my purse is a "suitcase" but He always asking for things out of it. Lol.

[William_Kendrick]

most 'manly man' in here will tell you that its unmanly to do such a thing.

but as a married man who has sex with his wife every night even after 10 plus years...

trust me... its manly.

but i can't say its cute cuz i'm a guy.. but yeah nothing wrong with it at all :D

[bubble_tea]

yes, cute is maybe the wrong word. but it's sweet, because he wants to help his woman or protect her from possible muggers. I agree his laissez-faire attitude is manly too, because in my opinion a manly man doesn't care what society says is manly, he just is.

[Anonymous]

It's part of being a gentleman and taking care of your woman. I don't want her to have carry her purse when she could be holding onto me. Also, it will make a mugger think twice about taking a purse from me rather than her.

[bubble_tea]

The second point you brought up is very true in dangerous cities.

You are very sweet ^^

[Opinion Owner]

Thank you :) I am quite surprised how many guys think it means that the guy is whipped or is not in control of the relationship. You can be an alpha male while not being a jerk, especially to those who mean the most to you.

[bubble_tea]

You are? I'm not lol. There are many of these "alpha" wannabes where I live. I'm more surprised that there are women out there who do absolutely not want their handbags to be carried by their someone. I mean I would understand if they said "If I paid for that LV/Hermes bag, I'm going to be the one carrying it." but the reason is more like "I'm not invalid, I am strong". o_O

[chocolatedragon]

"Awwww he's such a sweet bf."
Na. Dude gets laid and rewards his lady being being a gentleman.

[bubble_tea]

I didn't know there's a correlation. Are you telling me guys who oppose it are guys who are not getting laid?

[chocolatedragon]

Well some guys will do it just to be nice.
Others will do it to be nice hoping it will increase the future excitement of their gfs.
Some just see it as bf duty.
But many who do it are getting laid.

[bubble_tea]

I think it's cute, because not every man with a sex life is willing to do it. (see other male opinions)
It actually makes him more attractive in my eyes.

[chocolatedragon]

Which is one of the reasons why guys do it. To arouse female affection lol.

[bubble_tea]

Purse carriers are definitely the smarter guys haha

[kambo_trick3y]

Meh. I wouldn't think much of it.

As long as she's not trampling over him and expecting him to be at her beck and call and submissive, I'm all for it.

[Kris85]

My ex used to hold mine for a few mins sometimes if I asked. He would complain about it but he would do it

[justbeinghonest]

Not cute.
If she didn't want to carry a purse why would she bring one then?
If I'm wearing a dress and I don't have a matching bag or don't feel like carrying a bag I normally just put my ID and credit card I'm my bfs wallet.

[bubble_tea]

I don't know maybe she has lipstick, powder, cell phone etc in it and they don't fit in his wallet?

[justbeinghonest]

And she needs a HUGE bag for that?
No excuse. She should carry her own stuff.

[Florida_Gator_Girl]

Well I have had my nerd carry mine for me when I used to carry one.. lol now If need be I just give him my ids and if I can't hold my phone it can go in his pocket.. but ya even my dad has held my bag before.. not a bfd

[iUnderachieve]

I've done it, doesn't really bother me. I'll hang onto her purse while she hangs onto me.

[Endeavor]

It would be fine if she was doing something and he was holding it temporarily, but if he's just carrying HER purse everywhere, there's something wrong. Makes him look like a...

[Tsmatik]

It's a good feeling to ladies, coz they want t on be shown every where they go, but if guy can't even put you on his status don't expect him to carry your bag in public.
Holding a gal's bag is the public status showing he's yours / she is his..

[1NAMDERAJ]

I think he's the luckiest man in the word because he has a woman who loves him and I don't I can only dream of that I'm apparently unlovable.

[SatanClaus]

I think he has to listen to her, if not no bang bang tonight hahaha.

[PinkSnowConez]

That is just too sweet

[Anonymous]

Mostly I like to carry lecturer purse i have some great feeling when i carrying and i like tat feelings..

[yaddayaddayadda02]

Shows me who's running the relationship.

[bubble_tea]

[yaddayaddayadda02]

[Anonymous]
