Man purse - yay or nay?

I usually carry a backpack but since I only take phones, cigarettes and a box of mint to work the pack is a bit overkill.
My colleague who snapped this pic things it's ok for a man to wear a purse (I call it a wallet still) but I think a GTP opinion is necessary.
 
How about a messenger bag? A little bigger, but more manly. Or a camera bag.

From what I see there you might as well be wearing a fanny pack. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

@Fat Tyre and @Chrunch Houston are right. Messenger bags, satchels and camera bags are fine. Don't use a purse.
 
Messenger bag is still overkill for a phone and some small items. Maybe I'll just stick with pockets.
That little 'purse' is actually my cycling pocket; once the strap is taken in it fits nicely onto my back like a messenger bag would.
I also have a grip with messenger bags now that hipsters are trending them, they've taken something cyclists have had as a necessity for years and tried to make them cool but actually made them uncool as a result.
Also it's too hot here for a proper bag, even riding a scooter a bag leaves a huge sweaty patch so the smaller the better. I think I'll go with pockets in future.
 
@W3HS I'd say it's fine.
I've never been fond of the man-purse, I always carry a daypack (very small backpack) on my back, that way I'm not lopsided (which can be a big problem when cycling), I don't have a strap om one side that feels like its trying to cut through my carotid artery and most importantly nobody mistakes me for a butch woman. :lol:
The downside is access to my phone is not quick, yet I never missed a call because of that.

And then people say that Lego are toys, even though you can clearly see in these pictures that you can use them as serious work supplies.
True. I suck terribly at painting eggs but with my LEGO contraption I can draw perfect lines on the eggs without breaking a sweat. It needs some upgrades though, I'm planning on adding a fan that dries the paint and a brush-holder. Need another lego motor.
