You will see that women always carry huge purses while men don't carry a purse at all. Men do carry a 'purse', but it just has money and it is called a 'wallet'. Men just stuff their wallets in their back pockets whenever they are going out. But have you ever seen a woman leave the house without a purse?

15 WEIRD THINGS WOMEN CARRY IN THEIR PURSE

Women carry purses because they have a lot of things to carry. But why is that men do not carry purses at all. Do men need nothing while leaving for the day? Men carry bags only when they are travelling to the gym or going for a day out. But women always carry purses, no matter where they go. This discrepancy is very interesting.

So Boldsky caught up with their men and women readers to find out why women carry purses and men don't. What men carry in their wallets is also not a matter of mystery. Most men have money and cards in their wallets. The sentimental ones carry a photograph of their special ones as well. But very few men carry anything other than these basic necessities with them.

Here are some reasons why women carry purses and men don't.

Men Are Only Expected To Pay For Things, Not Own Them

Men are usually supposed to pay the cash or swipe the card for the things their girlfriend or wife buys. Most often, none of these 'things' are for men so they need not carry around a purse to carry them.

Men Don't Need To Carry 'Private' Things

Women need to carry some private things like sanitary napkins in their bags. The closest men get to carrying anything 'private' is a condom and that fits into their wallet easily.

Men Stuff Their Things In Women's Purses

Men usually keep pushing their things into women's purses. Women carry chargers, combs, sunglasses for their boyfriends or husbands all the time.

Men Don't Need Change Of Clothes

A change of clothes is something that women usually carry in their purse. But men do not change their jeans and underwear for weeks. So there is no reason why they should carry a change of clothes.

Men Borrow Lip Balm, Deo & Combs From Women

Lip balms, deodorants and combs are somethings women carry in their purses. Men usually have no qualms about borrowing these basic necessities from their wife or girlfriend.

Men Don't Segregate

Have you ever seen a woman leave the house without a purse just because they are carrying a laptop bag? But men can stuff their tab, camera and laptop into the same bag.

Men Always Have Pockets

Men's clothing is always provided with pockets to carry some essentials like keys and napkins. But women do not always have this privilege unless they are wearing formal pants. You cannot stuff keys into skinny jeans, can you?

Women Have More Keys

Women usually carry a large bunch of keys with them that has a fancy key chain. Men carry just 1 or 2 keys and these are often solo without any key chains.
