well,i have it this day and yesterday. it was raining so hard. and i am whole body wet. i don't have any umbrella. and i only borrowed one. i have this odd feeling to bring one. maybe because guys are not used to bringing umbrella. especially when it does not rain. i don't know about the others, but nowadays, guys are bringing one even when there is no rain! some said that they used it for protection against the intensity of the heat of the sun. well, it is good. but how about you?.. is it okey if a guy is to bring an umbrella?...

My best opinion would be that it depends on the guy, the country and the situation. There is a lot to be considered here.

If it is a professional guy in America, it is actually expected. And if he is meeting clients or a female friend then it is a huge plus.

Then again, if it is a coal miner or a sports guy, I think women would be surprised here in America to see a man carrying an umbrella.

But in your situation, there is hot sun and people expect it. So if people expect a man to use it against the sun or the rain, then it does not harm your masculinity at all.

Hope that my opinion is a bit helpful. Have a great day!

your opinion is well respected my friend. you are certainly right. and i give you my best response. bringing umbrella depends on every situation.. and nowadays, the UV rays from the sun is so destructive already that we really need protections. and as i read your response, i guess almost all of the guys there are bringing one umbrella. i guess that fits it all. it is okey for a guy to bring umbrella.. congratulations!!..


please add me as a friend... thanks!

Hello jingbautista. I think it is okay for a guy to bring an umbrella depending on what kind of umbrella it is. I think if it is an umbrella with girly designs in it, they might think of something else but, if it is just a plain umbrella, I dont see anything wrong with it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. jingbautista (812)   ranked 160 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  1 year ago

there is really nothing wrong. hehe.. only that somehow our mentality would think that when a guy would bring umbrella, there is something wrong to that person.. hmmm.. thanks!

Its ok to bring umbrella jing than to get wet. I see guys bringing umbrella here and even kuya jerry brings a huge umbrella when it rains hard. Its also there for our protection and i guess theres no discrimination when it comes to bringing things that are essential to our protection.

Have a nice day and take care!


myLot reputation of 89/100. jingbautista (812)   ranked 160 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  1 year ago

it is because before, it is only girls who would bring umbrellas. it was so unlikely that guys would be bringing one. but now, i guess, there is no more discrimination to it.. there are a lot of guys and gays who would bring because the heat is now so intense and the sun is so brighter.. hehe.. what happened to my english.. toinks...

Yes, of course, it is more than okay for a man to use an umbrella, jingbautista. An umbrella is not merely a fashion accessory, but is a practical way to protect oneself from the elements. It matters not what others think of a man who is using an umbrella. It only matters if the umbrella is offering needed protection to the man. Hopefully, men have enough sense to use something that helps them without worrying what other people think about it.


myLot reputation of 89/100. jingbautista (812)   ranked 160 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  1 year ago

somehow, before, men is ashame of bringing umbrella maybe because it is a minus points to the fact that you are a guy and you bring one. but now, due to the calamity changes and the weather condition, the heat is so intense and the sun rays is damaging to the skin, it matters not anymore.. somehow, it is very helpful to bring some umbrella nowadays.. it really helps.. thanks mr. william.. hope to hear from you more... you have a lot of discussions already..

Its totally cool if a guy carries an umbrella.
Why can't a guy take care of him himself.

But that doesn't mean that you can carry a girlie umbrella with you.
Carry a long pointed umbrella, that looks cool as well.
a long umbrella which can also be used as a stick.

So go ahead!!

happy

you are riht there my friend! when bringing an umbrella, we have to make sure of the designs too. it must be complimentary to who you are and your sexes.. but regardless of the design, when it rains, i would carry anything.. hehehe

There's nothing wrong for a guy to bring umbrella whether it is raining or not. Here in the Philippines, the weather is very different. It's hot even when it's already 5 am . Women and men need equal protection from skin diseases.

I have this guy friend who does not bring an umbrella even when it rains, his reason was, he is a guy. With such answer, I said, "stupid"...He easily gets colds and fever. I told him, "if you think, taking an umbrella would be less to your masculinity, you are wrong"...Then i continued, "people will think that you are more straight when you know how to protect yourself from sickness"...I did not know if he got what I want to imply to him....

In terms of heat, guys are no exceptions in using an umbrella. It isn't a measure of masculinity, anyway.


myLot reputation of 89/100. jingbautista (812)   ranked 160 out of 19,485 in questions & answers  1 year ago

you are right. i am from the philippines. and the same reaction is true to every guys here. it is still not aceepted when a guy is bringing an umbrella. it would make the bearer less masculine.. however, things are changing right now. i guess, guys are learning to learn.. learn to use the protection...
