I don't have a SO but my brother (who's 25 years old) carries a bag and has been since his college days and not the typical backpack. He never liked the the backpack look. Anyways being an artist at an advertising agency, he has tons of things that he has to carry so he needs to carry a bag to hold all his stuff - though he uses one even when he's not working. When he goes shopping, I noticed that he throws any of his purchases inside his bag so he has his hands free. Usually he has his wallet, keys, blackberry, sketchbook, art pencils, video ipod, mini ipod, a book, etc. The only time he doesn't carry a bag with him is when he just needs his wallet and keys. The funny thing is most his guy friends are also artists don't carry a bag - they think it's too feminine. 
I bought my best friend a beautiful leather satchel type bag for his 25th, it makes him look so smart. He's a doctor and used to go to work carrying all his stuff in his arms which just made him look scruffy.
I slept with this guy once. He was 6'5", broad-shouldered and had a girlfriend. He didn't carry a bag with him, and it's not obvious by the way he spoke or acted that he liked boys, too.
(By the way, if it's not obvious by my username, I am a guy.)
I would not usually go down this way, but if you are implying that my husband might be a closet-gay guy I really would have to disagree. Not because I believe you can know 100% another person, but because there is such thing as "non-verbal communication" which transmit information on the "low highway" (as referred to in the book "Social intelligence", but I doubt you can read). So, if you have even the minimum training in interpersonal skills, you would just get the message.
Sadly and despite what you
my bf does not carry a murse or manbag and no amount of convincing on my part could ever make him. when he brings things into work, he puts them in a plastic bag. on the other hand, my ex appreciated fashion and wore messenger bags. i bought him a beautiful leather one from banana republic for xmas one year and he wore it until it was perfectly distressed.

Sadly and despite what youthink, not all men have the desire to have sex with their own kind, regardless of the fact they carry bags.
I am sorry that you are offended.
What I meant by what I said was height, broad-shoulders and non-carrying (or carrying) of man bags doesn't define masculinity or heterosexuality. I was just citing an example where a guy with the similar description that you gave turned out to be gay/bisexual. I am not implying that your husband is the same, and I don't care if he is.
And I don't know what made you think that I "think that all men have the desire to have sex with their own kind". Sweetie, if that was the case, I have made a pass on all of my gorgeous heterosexual male friends.
I'll forget your condescending sentences; they didn't affect me anyway. Please lighten up.
I was in NYC yesterday and I can't tell you how many men I saw carryying bags, not briefcases, bags! A few Hermes, but many other bags that just looked like handbags or shoulder bags. Very cool, but what would you expect from a New Yorker?
Cheers,

Hon you're being WAY too defensive. He wasn't calling your husband gay, merely pointing out that body type has nothing to do sexual orientation. I"m 6'1" with broad shoulders and I'm gay
Meanwhile I have male friend who's 5'6" and has delicate, feminine features but is as straight as can be.
i love when i see a stylish guy walk by me wearing a fabulous bag. it makes me want to run after him and ask if they'd like to go shopping one day. i'm sure they could give me a style tip or two.
I would love to go shopping with a guy with style sense and good taste! My DH is not a shopper
, he has good taste but just not a shopper. Cheers
