I was shopping for purses the other day with my girls and I noticed that we were all attracted to different types of handbags. Different sizes, different details. And then it hit me! Maybe guys are like handbags. Let me break it down.

Looking for a small clutch to hold your keys, cell phone and lipstick? Then maybe you’re looking for a guy who doesn’t carry a lot of baggage. What you see is what you get. Simple and to the point.

Like a basic shoulder bag? Then your guy is someone you can rely on. He’s there for you, ready to take on your stuff if necessary but is able to hold his own at the same time. Not a pushover this one, but in fact, quite strong.

Expensive, designer bag? Hello! A guy who appreciates the finer things in life. But who can be a bit of a show off, somewhat self-absorbed at times. He’s beautiful and knows it. It’s pretty much all about him.

Messenger bag? Your guy is kind of a pack rat. Hangs onto a lot of stuff and pretty much carries his life around with him, no matter where he goes. On the other hand, he is always prepared. Kind of like a boy scout.

Evening bag? He dresses well, likes to go out and show off his girl. People like hanging around him and he’s usually the life of the party.

Vintage charmer? He’s what some call an “old soul.” He’s charming, smart, and has had life experiences he’s learned from. He doesn’t take things too seriously and knows how to enjoy himself.

Computer bag? Ummm…computer geek. Stylish computer bag? Cute computer geek.

Okay, it’s not an exact science but you get my point. And yes, some girls like myself, like all kinds of handbags. But let’s not go there.
