Men don't lug around fem hygine products. Nor do they lug around cosmetics. That pretty much tips the scale towards ladies needing handbags, and men getting by with just pockets.
Well it helps when you have pockets that are big enough to put things in....A lot of womens pants have really small pockets or just false pockets. I did recently find two pairs of pants with larger front pockets that I can put quite a bit of stuff in though the back pockets are still kind of small...my wallet tends to fall out, it has a chain so I don't lose it but its still annoying.
That said I don't like purses, I do have a small back pack as well as one of those messenger style bags that goes over your shoulder. So if I need more stuff than my pockets hold I bring one of those.
I have tried purses before, but I have that problem of setting things down and misplacing them. After a couple times of setting it down in a store, one of which someone noticed and caught up to me to give it back to me...I figured a purse would be a bad idea for me. I certainly need something that can stay on my body as I browse or I will lose it
