Q: Are men really supposed to carry ladies'bag in China??
According to my ex-gf, yes. But I felt so stupid doing it that I told her "no" after the first time.
NO WAY!!!!!
I can understand holding it for a moment while she opens her umbrella, etc. but to actually carry it?
Most Chinese men here are whipped (young generation) so I can understand and they also carry murses themselves so what's the difference.
But if I ever see a foreigner doing this I would slap him silly.....real men say no.
I will carry anything for my gf but NEVER her purse....exception being if she is trying on clothes at a store I will hold it for her until she is done.
I think op is not talking about carrying their ladies' bags, but rather them carrying around ladies bags to keep their own things in. It's the hottest new fashion and I guarantee you that in two months, every successful very fashion Chinese man will be porting around a purse presumably full of iPhones.
You might think this far-fetched, but remember how about two years ago, every guy had a pink polo shirt tied at the bottom to show his belly button? Or how last year you'd always be seeing thirty-something businessmen with Justin Biever haircuts?
I would never ask a guy to carry my purse for me, I'd be embarrassed, even if he wouldn't be. Sometimes I ask a person to hold my purse while I put on a jacket, but that's whoever is nearby, girl or guy. As for a "murse," if it's like a messenger bag style, and not an actual woman's purse, then that's ok. Sometimes guys have stuff to carry too.
Same as the others
I will hold on to it while she is busy like cloths or looking at something
but as soon as we start walking it's all hers
Besides it does not match anything in my wardrobe
GuilinRaf:
Exactly my problem! Louis Vouton was just NOT made to pair with blue jeans and Army boots...
That's weird. Chinese guys put up with this?
I would never ask my BF to carry my bag. It's mine, I own it, I carry it, that's what the possessive pronoun indicates! I do sometimes ask him to hold it for a few seconds while I do something that requires both hands, and he will, but with a look of impatience designed to demonstrate to the world that this is an abnormal occurrence.
Are you sure its their partners bag? there are some super fruity mens bags here in asia. Sometimes I cant tell if a guy is straight or not when I see the kind of "mens" bags they have here.
Jnusb416:
Some do carry their girlfriend/wife's purse, but I don't think a lot of them do that, thankfully.
xunliang:
No i know some do, I'm just drawing attention to the super gay bags that guys have here. Man if a guy tried carrying one of those bags where I live at night he get beaten up.
GuilinRaf:
One of my students (a boy) he has a pencil bag that looks like a "teddy panda". I am just glad Hugs has not seen him, she might take his bag and leave him crying!!!
Actually, my Puertorrican nature has taken over! I would be DELIGHTED to carry a girls bag! Especially if she has some $$!
it really does not matter,especially for Chinese guy! but should not use "be supposed to",it is just the express love his wife
dont match my personality and only not me not one will like to carry his gf bag
it depends. you can't absolutely say no. people are different. a man carry his gf's bag, not mean he is the weak, awkward.....
hey, have a look now what age, do what you want to do as long as it is not illegal, does not violate moral standards. life is complex, why you make it more complex. if both of you feel happy, just do it.
