It’s 2017, woman should not be holding your wallet for you in her purse. Get your own! The hangover said it first, dubbing the ‘satchel’ and we can all learn from that moment. It is time to ‘murse’ shop. Luckily we have a guide so you know you are getting the best murse around, and letting you know why it is nothing but awesome to have your own man purse, and it can even help you find a local hookup.

Don’t match your girlfriend

First, make sure that your murse doesn’t match or resemble your wife or girlfriends. Seriously this is the number, if not only rule of murses. If you have a matching purse with your girlfriend people will automatically assume that you are her gay best friend. Not that it matters that people think you are homosexual (#support baby) but this could lead to other heterosexual males hitting on your girlfriend, which also couldn’t be a bad thing if you guys are swingers.

Either way, know that matching murses could lead to confusion upon outsiders.

Chains are out

Remember in the 90s when a chain so your wallet wouldn’t get stolen. That is tacky and inefficient today. You need to ditch this look and put a nail in the coffin for this one. No one likes to see an ugly visible chain hanging out of your pants.

You need more things than a wallet these days. People should understand that you carry more than credit cards. It is manly to carry credit cards, but we all know that you want to lug around your everyday items. Think about all the possibilities you have when carrying a murse. You can bring deodorant, snacks, your ipad if you get a larger purse. You will basically become Superman once you own a man purse.

No more gym bag

The purse is also great for everyday activities that you would otherwise have to run home prior to doing. No more gym bag! A purse will make sure that you put your gym shoes aside and carry all your other gym items. It can also double as a lunch bag which will save you money and time.

I know I already said this but it’s important, it is 2017! We are a generation who is redefining gender roles left and right, even breaking them. Let’s keep the ball rolling with man purses!

You are a modern man

You are a modern man and your outfit should be the persona of it. Rock your man purse and don’t let anyone tell you that it tears down your masculinity. According to study done by reserection.com, as long as you feel manly, you will appear so as well. It will honestly turn into a chick magnet when women see that you are proud to wear your heart (purse) on your sleeve!

Overall, we should not be afraid of the man purse. We should be embracing it. They are the way of the future and who knows, we may even be putting “regular” woman purses to shame.
