I'd never be seen dead wearing one of those.

But I did buy one of these:

Actually, I bought it for my daughter when I visited her for my granddaughter's first birthday. The diaper bag she had was crap! So I bought one that was better and didn't look quite so feminine. (And then made fun of the flowered diaper bag my brother-in-law had to carry around.)

And I have a Jeep baby travel bag for my grandson, since he frequently spends the night, meaning I have more stuff to carry (his silky, his musical glow worm, change of clothes, a movie or two, diapers, and other baby stuff).

...

Apart from storage potential, I don't see much of a difference between the bag in your link and a couple of the bags in the picture I posted. Some of them a pretty feminine, yes, but there's no reason to feel weird about carrying around a brown leather bag with your stuff in it.

my wallet and phone sit in my front pants pockets and switch back and forth sometimes. My flash drive used to be hooked to my keychain, but it broke :( so now it and my keys usually just sit in a jacket pocket or in one of my pants pockets if there's room. My pocket change always ends up in the same pocket as my wallet since I'm always too lazy to put it IN the wallet.

I have a man-bag, or a purse if you like. It looks like the one on the top-left in the picture below

Are they as "flat" as the one the guy in the picture has? Looks interesting. Before it got ruined, I would carry all my stuff in a "passenger bag", which really looks like the bag you are referring to, but is not flat/has more storage space.

As of now, it's just a backpack. I also keep one or two things in my pocket that will be of immediate use to me. For example, my phone and music player are usually in my front pockets. I usually keep my wallet somewhere in my bag after I've, for example, paid for my bus ticket.
