“Shall I compare thee to a summers day; thou art more lovely and more temperate”
Thanks to Shakespeare I may have found a way to explain our love of handbags to men dumb founded by the notion of needing more! So how can we help bridge the divide in understanding? Simples! Talk their language…
Does your man have an iphone, ipod, instant messenger account? A career in IT? A penchant for Saturdays spent in Apple’s latest store? The latest set top box? Then technology can offer the explanation so often needed behind why we never have enough handbags! Here’s how…
The answer is Email! …
- Most men have an email account. Well, in the same way we girls have a handbag!
- A man may have several, different email accounts, ladies too, may have several, different bags.
- A man’s email account is often used for transactional, perfunctory purposes – and a handbag may contain nothing more than that day’s essentials.
- He may use his account for wider purposes such as connecting with others, keeping loved one’s informed: just as handbags carry memorabilia or tokens of affection.
- There are email folders within email accounts much as we have bags inside our bags!
- Keeping electronic email receipts, travel documents and favourite photos is no different from the content’s of an average ladies handbag.
All of which goes some way to suggest that men and women do the same things after all, for the same reasons, and in a similar way – except men use their digits for typing and women use theirs for throwing handbags over their shoulders!
