Handbag for you SIR?

Has Singaporean men been doting/caring and kind to their female counterpart?

I think pretty much so. Yes, at times we won't be pulling chair out for the lady and standing up when the lady leaves the table. But that does not means we are not nice or caring.

I think Singaporean guy has done fair share of opening doors for the lady and help them carry heavy stuff. That is gentleman enough.

But to carry a Lady's HANDBAG!

The latest talk and sight about MAN carrying their GF's Handbag is creating an interesting topic.

I hear some comments that it is okay for a guy to do it if he love his GF/Wife. Or this is now an equal status world and it a gentleman action to do so.

But the strange thing is that this is occurring only in Singapore!

You don't see our neighbour countries having this phenomenon. You don't even see this in the western country where they pride themselves to be a gentleman.

Let's define what is a lady handbag...

It is an accessory to complement their clothes rather than what it can do. A bag's original intent is to carry and hold things. Therefore they have that many handbag. Same logic for having that many shoes but hey that another topic to blog next time.

So since that is the function of a lady handbag, then man should not carry them.

1. they may not complement with what they are wearing
2. man don't wear/carry accessory
3. it call a LADY handbag and not a MANBAG!
4. it just look stupid for a man to carry a lady handbag

In short, a man can carry a lady handbag when the lady needs to go to the toilet or to be away for a short time. But not carrying it for hours while they walk down orchard road.

Anyway this is my view. You all have your own view and if you want to share it go ahead and write down your comments on the chatbox.

So Handbag for you SIR?
