Are Men embarass to use UMBRELLA?

I am not embarrass to use or bring an umbrella, it is for my own protection, against rain, sun and bad people. You see i work in a farm where you need to walk under the heat of sun for so many hours, That is why i am used to carrying an umbrella.

lol =D Your brother's thinking is so out-dated.. hehe ^_^ Being caught in the heavy rain does not make him any much macho because he's not in his best state to be facing everybody.. haha =D PLe might even laughing at his foolishness.. hehe In fact, using an umbrella will tend to make a guy look more gentle, and more protective if they know how to take good care of themselves.. Because if one happen to his his gf, wont they be always caught in the rain, with no sense of security at all, even though it might be fun at times?? lol =D

If raining cats and dogs out there I would say eveyone should use one!

hello again! i think umbrellas are not only for girls...although some guys really don't like bringing them coz they are lazy...hehe just kidding! with sunny days, i guess boys will always prefer their caps over umbrellas but during rainy days, i think its so unwise to use just a cap..and a raincoat is even more difficult to use... haha, imagine, if you are in a raincoat & you will ride a jeepney? hehe its a disturbance for other passengers! my husband is not ashamed to use umbrella, when he's out i always let him bring an umbrella, but the folding one...just to be ready. he also use the long ones if necessary... but again, for sunny days, he prefer to use cap...even i, i prefer cap coz to be honest, i am also lazy in bringing an umbrella...

My husband is not ashamed to carry or use an umbrella when it rains or when it is too hot to walk under the sun. I guess it is more embarrassing to walk inside a building or office soaking wet because one got caught in the rain rather than be seen carrying an umbrella. I think men who bring umbrellas with them are very practical people. After all, both men and women will get themselves wet when it suddenly rains and they get caught without an umbrella.

I don't think there is something to be ashamed of for a man in using an umbrella. Does the rain only for women? I don't think so. If it is, i would surely stop using an umbrella, and that is i would consider embarrassing. I have been using umbrella since I was a child, so using is not really a big deal for me. There was a situation when i was in high school and all of my friends were using a raincoat. No one predicted it will rain that day, but my sister was having a cheering practice and so she left her umbrella with me (she always bring one). We were walking out of the campus going to our classmates birthday party and my friends started to kid me about the umbrella, that it looks good on me, perfectly fit only for me. Then the rain fell (thanks to it lol). My friends didn't have anything to cover themselves. Though my friend's house was just walking distance, they were all wet. When we arrived, our classmate's 3 year old sister was so scared of them because they were totally wet. Guess what? Retaliation time. I told them "this is not a Halloween party to scare anyone". I don't know if that taught them a lesson because it surely did on me. Umbrella is indeed important, and it chooses no gender.

I see a lot of men with umbrella's in my country, so maybe it also depends where you live? Here in Holland most men wouldn't dream about putting on a raincoat. A lot of people (basicly both men and women, allthough men even more) dislike the look of a raincoat. During summer season there are hardly any people here carrying a parasol, no men and no women.

I think most men just don't mind getting wet. They don't mind so much their hair getting soaked, or the rain getting on their face, because they don't have to worry about makeup running down their wet faces. Of course some men I'm sure feel like using an umbrella in the rain would be "sissy". My dad rarely uses an umbrella. The only time I've seen him use one in the rain, is when he is dressed up, on his way to church.

My boyfriend would be one of those men who would rather get wet in the rain or be late than bring an umbrella with them. He only uses an umbrella when I'm with him. But I think there's no problem if men actually uses an umbrella. I can even see some guys using it during a sunny day.

Well, personally when i was a child i embarrass if my mom ask me to bring umbrella in my bag. Even if my mom still put it in my bag, i did not want to use it when the rain come. I prefer running under the raindrops than use my umbrella after at home my mom will be angry because i perfectly wet :) Don't know why but i thought if a man use an umbrella it shows that he is weak, defeat by only the raindrops. Maybe this sounds stupid but i'm sure many man especially when he is still a kid would think the same with me. Umbrella just like a shame thing. That is why some of the man prefer use the raincoat than an umbrella. Anyone agree with me? LOL

I think they are just lazy carriers, my boyfriend bought the smallest fold umbrella that exists, so that it can't fit in his pockets haha. The umbrella was expensive, and there are more that are affordable, just bigger haha.

If there are men who think like so, they're retards! Yes, I use umbrella as needed. No, I do not believe that umbrellas are for women. I guess that some people have weird ways of looking at things, especially when it comes to gender issues, but this one for me is surely a new one. It's interesting to know that some guys so whole heartedly think that an umbrella is a woman's thing that they'll probably risk a good street-bath just because they don't want to carry something simple as an umbrella.

It's not a women's thing. I use it all the time and so does my male friends. Some men do not use it, because they believe (No pain no gain, no guts no glory). They want to face the problem (rain) instead of using a remedy (umbrella). That's why when men are hurt (even when their hand is sliced off), they will answer: "ok". Usually men doesn't body check when they feel pain, and thus many die from diseases.

Hi lian! When I was in college, I never use umbrella though it raining. I always make sure I ride a taxi from home til home so I won't get wet. I don't like having umbrella or maybe I am just lazy. Anyway, most of my guys friends in college are the one who uses umbrella and not us girls. I think they love it, but they only used black and dark colored ones though.This way they will not get wet and they don't think about others would say to them or something like that.

Most of the men I have known are such wimps about getting the slightest bit wet and will opt for an umbrella each time it rains. Maybe they won't carry one as a habit but they will certainly take one if it is raining. If they have to share an umbrella you can be sure they will be greedy too. Men can be such wusses.

ahh. is your brother single? i have a cousin who loves to bring umbrella and his reason is this.... i will tell you the story. one day it was raining and his crush ( a pretty girl at school ) has no umbrella as well. so he decided to buy a folding umbrella that he can keep inside his bag. he brings that umbrella everyday. and atlast another surprise rain came and he has an umbrella and the pretty girl has none. he went next to ger and say " we can share my umbrella " and the rest was history. that was a cute story, and i think it was very gentlemanish... lol is that a word? but i guess a man bring an umbrella for the purpose of sharing is cool? dont you think?

A professional man will use an umbrella to keep themselves from getting wet and ruining an expensive suit. I've never seen a lawyer appear in court with water stains on their suit during a downpour. I have a couple umbrellas but I don't use them simply because I don't want to carry it around when there is a chance of rain. Besides, t-shirts and shorts/sweats won't be ruined by water and dry fairly quick.

I use umbrella, sorry to dropped by on this discussion I am a lady. MY brother do have caps but when its raining he don't have a choice but to use umbrella. If they use only cap they still get wet, isn't it? Much more if its raining hard. Some guys are ok to use umbrella and some are not. and yes a guy pal declared its a girl thing. But there are umbrellas for me, those with black colors. I think its a matter of choice

hah! firstly I would like to say i am so lucky to be a female, i hold unbrella in both sunnday day and rainy day, to protect myself from sun and water. I think there's nothing ashame to hold an umbrelal for a man during rainy day, it is normal, every person should do something to prevent them from getting hurt(wet), it is human being's nature. Your brother does wierd. But if a man hold an umbrella in sunny day, that is wierd, because i think all men likes sun, and the more sunshine they accept, the good looking their skin color. haha.

yes, I'm using umbrella when heavy rain come. Most of you think men didn't use it, I think all people can used umbrella. Possible from our habits of everyday life, because when it becomes a habit hard to remove.
