I would say that men only have one place to put change (pockets). Most women
have two places to put change (pockets and handbags). Maybe the real
question is why don't men carry handbags?
Speaking from experience, it's much easier to carry change in a handbag
rather than pockets. Change doesn't fall out of my handbag, like it does a
pocket, and I don't jingle when I walk. Also, I don't have to transfer my
change every time I change clothes... I almost always use the same handbag,
with exceptions for special occasions or a different color shoe. :)
In addition, many articles of women's clothing do not even have pockets, so
we're probably accustomed to finding other ways to carry our change.
Interestingly, my most expensive dresses and suits don't have pockets, while
my more inexpensive clothing does. I'm not sure why this is. But I
definitely prefer the more expensive clothes without pockets.
So why don't men carry handbags?
