Why usually the guys take the bags while the girls just walk without anything in

Yup, im the one who carries the bags or shopping bags bought by me or my girlfriend, its just that we are showing others, especially to our girlfriend that we are indeed a gentleman. Its been our culture or way of doing that we help not just our girlfriend but women in general to show respect and being a gentleman. :)

I don't realize that because am not like that. Probably your girlfriend does. Are you complaining? Well, guys do that as a way of being gentlemen. It may be true that men and women are equal but it does not apply all the time. My boyfriend would always take the bags because he wants o show perhaps that i should not be carrying heavy ones. He would insist to carry everything even the handy bag. Of course, that is a big point for him although he is not trying to impress me. It is just that he is the stronger one.

Well, the answer to this one is quite simple. It is the gentlemanly thing to do. When I go out shopping with my husband, he will typically take the bags and carry them because that is the way that his parents taught him to be. I see that the same is true for many of the other males that I know in my life. I don't feel that I can't carry the bags when we are shopping, but if he is offering to do it for me, then I will let him do it without questioning the situation.

I personally do not let my boyfriend carry my handbag because I think it makes him look girly. But if I'm carrying a heavy backpack then I let him carry it. I just prefer not to let him carry my bags always, especially if it is a girly bag, seeing him with it is just hilarious so I'd rather not let him embarass himself. And I'm sure other men carry their girl's handbags because they think that's what they should do as the gentleman, but you know, it is the 20th century, women now should be independent.

May be it is a strategy usually implemented by boys to impress girls and show them that they are good gentlemen.
