Messenger Bags - In or Fruity
So I've always been a backpack boy. It has been backpacks from the beginning and all the way through highschool. I had never really seen anyone using anything different...
Now that I'm taking summer classes at Mizzou I've started to notice that a ton of guys have those messenger bags...
I've always thought they were a bit fruity but what do you think?
Guys and messenger bags - IN or fruity?

In my opinion, men who carry messenger bags are totally the way of the cougar.

If you are an AKL at our school (which you are) tyou should either carry a messenger bag or else be ULTRA cool and only carry one notebook and a pen behind your ear.
That my friend is the way of the cougar.

Its not fruity. Its trendy.
Any large campus and youre gonna see lots of the guys with the messenger bags.
Just remember that in college no one takes their books to class. You could always spot the freshman on campus the first week of class becasue they bring their books to class.

In some classes the books help a lot. Especially if the teacher is lecturing almost right out of it. Just a book and your trusty highlighter is all you need.

As long as it's not a man sling (open at the top...looks quite purse-like) you should be fine. I have a friend that I called man-purse guy for the first three months of our friendship because he carried a man sling from Banana Republic. I now know he's hetero, but at that point in time I wasn't quite sure.

For the past couple of months, my third grader has been using my old Kate Spade messenger bag as her book bag. She's informed me, though, that she would like a backpack for next year because the messenger bag is "really, really uncool"
