Why do girls carry handbags and usually the bigger the better...

if we hadn't any bag with us i can't imagine where we would put all our staff to carry on with us! i think we carry so many things with us because we have the impression that we need them where ever we go! and we like to wear big handbags because this is the fashion now and is a very big space in its so we take with us more staff then we had taken in the past:))

I tell you, there is more to the bag they cary than meet one's imagination. an adage says an average lady rather have beauty than brain because an average man see more than he thinks. In other for ladies to be beautiful and make them presentable at any time T, moment M and occassion O, they must always go along with their tools (mirror, lips stick, eye lash, wet lips, pan cake etc, etc. When next you go out, check around you if there are women there, you will see a couple of them checking the mirror, putting the roll on on the lips and adjusting their air style every now and then. I wonder when women would stop thinking about men and start living their real life.

I don't really know the answer to that, except that I feel lost without one. Mine is not awfully big but has lots of zip compartments, and I keep all manner of things in there. I suppose, really, we carry them because we can, and they become a habit. I will always carry mine, anyway, and it will always be full. :-)

Well, since I have a son and have medicine I must take I do have a medium size purse. I did read in prevention, that one should not carry a purse that weighs more than 3-5 pounds; it could cause shoulder/neck problems along with pain.

I think I carry a big bag because I am the go to person. You need a band-aid, tissue, hand cleanser, pen, paper, etc go to mom she has one in her purse. I tried once to carry a smaller bag and found myself lost because of all the things I didn't have.

We just have to take everything with us. We have to have our makeup, our hairbrush, maybe a trial size of our hair products, a good book for long waits, or a magazine. We feel more comfortable when we can carry with us all the luxuries f home.

whenever i leave home like when meeting friends at the mall, i always bring a big handbag with me. like everything's in it. i always bring a sweater, an umbrella, lipgloss, powder, handkerchief, wallet, coin purse, comb and mobile phone whenever i go somewhere. and i feel something's missing when i left something back at home.

I never go anywhere without a handbag. There is so much stuff that I might need. My bag is not all that big though, just average. I have carried the bigger bags but they are too awkward to handle sometimes. Not only do I have to carry the things I need but my husband also expects me to carry stuff for him.

Because they are girls and handbags are made for them. LOL! I have a passion for collecting bags and I use different colors that match my outfit. I carry a hanbag to hold my cellphone, wallet, pads, and make-up kit. We can't just put our wallet in our pocket as it gets bulky and usually we wear tight pants unlike boys.

I don't like big bags myself. The smaller the better, that's what I think. I feel that the bigger the bag, the more stuff we're tempted to put into it. So, really I think if we'd buy smaller bags, we wouldn't be carrying so much around with us.

Because we want to be prepared for anything. I like big bags so that if at the end of the day I end up buying something, I can put it in my bag as well. Nothing more useless than a small bag that doesn't hold much, don't you agree?

i think women have just got used to depending on technology a lot more. we think its the end of the world if we dont have our cell phone, ipod, blackberry, laptop with us! also society has become more appearnce orientated so we all carry around mirrors, make-up, hairbrushes and so on to touch ourselves up when were out and about. i would feel so insecure and lost without my handbag! i really do not know how men cope. i love big bags for when im going to college but usually i use a smaller 1. i think there just bit of a fashion statement at the moment. it was about time there was a pratical 1!

well i think gals carry bigger bag coz dey have many things to carry.. like money , makeup kit , sanitary pads (wen needed) , mobiles , keys , diary etc etc..and d pic of der bf/husband

I cant go out without bringing my bag. Its because I have things there that I usually need whenever I go. I have my wallet, coin purse, cellphone, keys, pen and my make up kit which has my hair doctor, face power, lipstick, lipgloss, lotion and perfume.

i carry just a lil bag that looks like a camera bag. It contains my purse, my credit cards (seperately in case i lose my purse) a couple of lipsticks and a small note book and pen. and of course my cell. I dont like bags in general but i feel these things need to be with me at most times so hence the small bag :D

I didn't carry handbags when I was younger. I liked to wear jeans and t-shirt when I went out. So, I just put my IC (Identity Card) and some money inside my pocket. That's it. But when it came to, I started to wear skirt very often, and skirt usually doesn't have pocket, or you won't put a lot of things inside your skirt pocket. Then it's time that I need to carry a handbag, just to put in my purse, with my Identity Card inside, and also when I started to use handphone, this is another thing that I need to put into my handbag. That's the reason I need to carry a handbag, but it doesn't need to be big, because my main stuffs to bring out are only handphone and purse.

Usually they keep their make-ups; cellfones and other stuffs in their handbag.

i used to carry handbags..but not bigger or smaller.Mine is medium coz i carry many stuff like umbrella,wallet,coins bag,my handphone and some other things like lipsticks.I can't go without handbag especially if you wear a dress,you don't have a pocket to fit all the things.

I can't stand carrying a purse. I take a small wallet with me with ID and cards, and cash in my pocket. Cell phone fits in my pocket too. Only bulky thing is my keys. I have a toddler and don't even like carrying around his diaper bag unless I know I'll need it. If I do carry a little bag, it's just big enough to have what I need, and big enough that I'll remember that I'm carrying it.

because we are KIKAYS right! we want our whole world easy to reach and with a bag it is possible.
