Guys, when your girls are asking you to hold her handbag, it doesn't mean you need to wear or carry it on your shoulder. Trying to be sweet and romantic is good, but carrying a woman's handbag for a whole date would only harm your masculinity (and some girls find it's a total turn-off). Nevertheless, it's OK to hold her bag while she is trying on clothes at a store or whatever.
Dear ladies, don't make your boyfriend or hubby your personal bag hanger. You shouldn't have brought it in the first place if you don't wanna carry the bag. Handbag is women's accessories, anyway.
