Umbrellas please...

Little boys would rather bring raincoat because they don't want to hold up an umbrella, it's too tiring hmmmmm, my 8 year old said so. THey want someone to hold it up for them. My brothers will use umbrellas during rain as long as it's black or dark blue or brown or checkerd in dark colors.

Haha. Really a nice discussion for this topic. So far i didn't heard that men don't like to take umbrella during raining day. But for hot sun day YES, because men thought that they should show and present the capability of able to take the heat. For whatever reason, i believe if the environment is around 40 degree Celsius and still don't take umbrella, it going to cause problem to skin then. So better think for health as first priority.

Yes my father who has now gone used to say that, men don't carry umbrellas, I guess years ago it was only women that used them, maybeit even used to be a gay thing but i thought things had changed since those days..

I don't blame the men... i myself do not want to carry an umbrella unless i really have to... or i am forced by those who are much older than me... i am always afraid that i might leave it somewhere... and they tend to always get in the way... i bought a folding umbrella that i can just put in my bag... but it broke down after a few use...

Hey, men in my place still use umbrellas. It is still not labeled as gay thing here.

Well it's only little boys I think feel that way, They feel shy bringing umbrella so they prefer to bring raincoat rather. But I have observe mature men don't feel hesitated on bringing that stuff, but they just choose black or dark color and folding umbrella so it won't create any hassle for bringing that stuff. I remember my brother whenever he go to his work and it's raining he use to borrow my folding umbrella.
