Why do Men have Such HUGE wallets? --- What's In There?
I've seen guys with Wallets so thick it's like they have an ass-extender on their butt.

What the hell is in those wallots. Don't you know keeping condoms in a wallet will only deteriorate the condom

:shrug:

1. My wallet is very thin.
I purposely use a wallet meant for being carried in the front pocket. I get everything I need in there and it doesn't make me tilt to one side.

3. Big wallet? As compared to a steamer trunk sized purse?
It seems to me even the smallest woman's purse is orders of magnitude larger than the largest man's wallet.

My own wallet is very slim. I weed out expired and obsolete items regularly.

23. I don't carry a purse
Usually, all I carry is a wallet (I'm female, by the way). Why would I need anything more than a driver's license and my ATM card? I keep a comb in the car. If I really need to carry stuff like sunscreen, water, stuff like that, I wear a fanny pack. I can't abide having anything in my hands or slung off my shoulder. That way lies back pain.

Why do people feel they need to equip themselves for an Antarctic expedition every time they leave the house, anyway? One of my brothers did a cross-country bicycle trip with a tiny one-man tent, a sleeping bag, one pot, and a credit card. He had one change of clothes, sunglasses, a basic bike repair kit, and a water bottle. (He did add a pistol before the trip was over, though.) I know people who won't drive to the corner store without taking more than that.

4. Well -- I don't carry a big wallet...
But since guys generally don't carry purses... They have to put their shit somewhere, right?

6. you have to understand
aLthough you may have to carry make up, hairdryer, extra pair of shoes, etc..

we have to hang onto every singLe receipt ever!! not to mention expired coupons for businesses we never frequent. oh, and expired credit cards... and oLd pictures of your exes... and most importantLy a year's worth of ATM receipts.

we don't even have room Left in there for the crusty, past expiration date condom (y'know, just in case).

9. i thought the size of a man's wallet...
was proportional to the --perceived-- (by the opposite sex) size of his penis.

so it's all your (plural) fault.

13. You know the heat & friction from the wallet pretty much ruins those
condoms. That was the one thing we learned in sex ed. Wallets + Condoms BAD! Of course Sex without a condom could be worse :eyes:

34. Yeah it ruins them..
but I don't think they really use them for sex. I think they use them to signal other people that they might, maybe, if their real good have a chance at actually scoring and therefore stay prepared.

17. *sigh* If you must know............
My...............Detachable Penis

King Missile

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover, and my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time. It's detachable. This comes in handy a lot of
the time. I can leave it home when I think it's going to get me in trouble,
or I can rent it out when I don't need it. But now and then I go to a
party, get drunk, and the next morning I can't for the life of me remember
what I did with it. First I looked around my apartment and I couldn't find
it, so I called up the place where the party was, they hadn't seen it either.
I asked them to check the medicine cabinet 'cause for some reason, I leave
it there sometimes, but not this time. So I told them if it pops up to let
me know. I called a few people who were at the party, but they were no help
either. I was starting to get desperate. I really don't like being without
my penis for too long. It makes me feel like less of a man and I really
hate to have to sit down every time I take a leak. After a few hours of
searching the house and calling everyone I could think of, I was starting
to get very depressed, so I went to the Kiev and at breakfast. Then as I
walked down Second Avenue toward St. Mark's Place,where all those people
sell used books and other junk on the street, I saw my penis lying on a
blanket next to a broken toaster oven. Some guy was selling it. I had to
buy it off him. He wanted 22 bucks, but I talked him down to 17. I took it
home, washed it off, and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete.
People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached, but I don't
know. Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass, I like having a
detachable penis.

18. A lot of ATM receipts.
Between credit cards, membership cards, and my driver's license, I only carry about 8-10 cards in my wallet. Most of the bulk comes from old ATM receipts.

Sorry to disappoint you.

22. I'm a strong believer in "wiseguy" logic here,

I only cary what can be replaced easily in my wallet, Credit cards, licence, a few dollars, but most of my cash stays in my front pocket, or in my front jacket pocket if I'm wearing one.
