men usually do not carry bags around. they try to stuff all their things into the jeans (especially in israel)..

so the keys in the front pocket, another other pocket one has the cell phone, one the car keys (which are bulky) and then the wallet…

this actually creates tiny imbalances that influence your posture (believe it or not).

there is something about men which makes theme reluctant to carry stuff around.. maybe it is the hunter within that wants to be as light as possible.
this is why you see couples walking the streets together and the guy looks defeated because he is carrying the purse of the woman he’s with.

seriously… guys can streamline quickly, trying to minimize what they carry, and then the lady comes by and asks “can u carry this for me?”…
“sweetheart – i am hunting lions here, the last thing i need is to carry a bag! (pakal in the israeli army).. what the hell?!”

here is my question: can the ipad change the game for men?
one of the great things about the iphone is that it is quite small for what it can do. it can fit into your jean pockets or slide onto a belt with a clip.

the ipad is a versatile device that will require some sort of carrying (not the one portrayed in the image above for sure.. though some men would find it appealing).
but the right design and the right concept, may start convincing more men that carrying a bag around is cool and masculine. we won’t have to feel like a girl walking around with a bag full of stuff we don’t need.

i personally think there is room for an ipad carrying bag that men would adopt and use. time will tell.
