I need to say this: I never...ever... not anywhere... put my bag on the floor.

48. Guys don't get this about women's purses and bags, how they can be lost or stolen

because our wallets become a part of us. For us to hear that a woman lost her purse is like losing your hand. How could that happen--it's a part of you.
I once worked security at a local arena and for concerts when had to look in women's purses at the door. They would just open them so we could see if they were sneaking in any beer of booze to the concert. Huge purses, more like a saddle bag. One woman told me she didn't have anything in her big purse but there was stuff like a giant bottle of hand lotion and other stuff she would need in case she was stuck in the elevator overnight.
A young girl came late and I said I just need a quick peek and she had a big bottle of booze in it.

Although these days there are guys who carry backpacks everywhere that are like a purse.
