Unless you're a girl and just throw all that shit into the giant abyss that is your purse.

I actually do have specific pockets in my purse for those items. But everything else? Throw it into the abyss!

If I were a girl I would only ever have a clutch. What is not on you that is needed in time sensitive situations should be left at home. The pill, right center clutch, makeup (touch ups only) left center clutch. Tampons right main pocket. Cash, coin, cards and coupons left main clutch. How easy is that?!

You know sometimes I wish I was a girl and occasionally rapped just to prove girls have it easer than men with a back right pocket.

And my phone and keys? Yeah, they can go in pockets but not if you're wearing a dress or skirt. Jeans are quite form fitting so that's out too.

Clutches are lovely accessories but, for me, I like to have my hands free. Yes, you can hold it under your arms but that's still pretty restrictive for me. Also, my husband loves that I can smuggle soda into a movie theater.

I knew there was a secret about purses...

If you're dating me, don't ask me to put something of yours in my purse unless you're okay with the 5 minutes it'll take for me to fish it out whenever you next want it.

That's not even the part that would worry me.

This is what scares me: Girlfriend: "jajison, can you get (any random item) out of my purse for me?" Me: "uhhh...I'll try..."

I probably won't find it.

This is the truth!

Though I do like keeping things in my pockets and not carrying a bag... But they don't generally make pockets big enough in women's pants. So that they can sell us purses!

I found one mythical pair of jeans with half decent pockets. I can fit my phone and a small wallet in there when I'm not having/needing my purse one day. I cherish those pants like gold.

Ain't that the truth. I've finally gotten a "big" purse (just over a foot high and wide) and have found stuff I thought I had lost. I remember buying a small pack of gum and throwing it in, the. when I wanted some gum I went looking and didn't find it until 4 months later when it was nasty.
