Shampoo with Pert Plus for a few years and you will go bald as a result. Much less hair maintenance that way anyhow. Good Riddance.

I used to be of the more-I-can-fit-into-my-wallet-the-better type, which meant that I had this ugly bulging front-pocket monstrosity. The kind that makes a girl ask “Are you happy to see me or just genetically deformed?”. As I slimmed down, it needed to go. I exchanged the huge-ass wallet for a credit card wallet that has only my ATM and credit cards and some bills. Still, keeping it in my front pocket with my RAZR meant a noticeable bulge - especially on the slimfit jeans I started buying.

So now I wear my wallet in the back pocket and my RAZR in the front pocket, and it’s barely noticeable that I have anything in either pocket - which was the whole point of the exercise.

The wallet in your back pocket isn’t the problem. It’s the size of your wallet. Fix that.

The article was probably just a advertising-sponsored, subliminal, marketing plug to sell more “man purses”.

Granted, it’s not as slim as I’d like, but I just can’t bring myself to face the day with only my drivers license and a single credit card. I feel *naked* without my stuff, though it is a lot less than I used to carry around. I’m putting up with the “pocket bulge” it creates, though. My left pocket gets the wallet, my right gets the cellphone and keys. I won’t take the stuff out of my pockets and sit them on the desk not only because it makes me nervous (not that anyone here would do anything, but just the same…) but also I can just see myself walking off someplace without them.

Really, ever since I stopped carrying my wallet in my back pocket, I’ve been that much more comfortable. Don’t try it for all the wrong reasons, try it for all the right ones!

Riight, but only if you sit on them. Take your wallet out of your pocket when you sit down. As I sit here typing, my keys and wallet are directly in front of me on the desk. My chiropracter read me the riot act on that one years ago and I only ever have it in my pocket when I’m standing.

1) New cars, especially luxury cars, are boring. Ever been at a stop light with five silver 325is? Five fucktards trying to look cool.

2) Older cars - including 80s and 90s if you get the right thing - have so much more style. A brand new Lexus only means you’re bright enough to find a dealership and a cosigner.

3) Luxury cars do not indicate affluence. Brand new luxury cars (excepting the extreme like Bentley and Ferrari) are more likely to indicate you’re living beyond your means than anything else. I don’t generally associate with the overly wealthy, but the few I know tend to drive old Mercedes and other cars that a) have class and b) were bought, paid for, and no longer represent a drain on their resources.

The pretentiousness is ridiculous.

I will myself keep my wallet in my back pocket, regardless of what the elitists mandate, however I have opted for a no-fold card wallet, because as the article suggests, you really honestly don’t need that much.

I carry about $50 in cash, 4 credit cards, 2 IDs, and a few business cards with me in the wallet…more than enough.

Besides, my front pockets already have my keys, spare change, chapstick, cell phone, and usually an mp3 player. There is no room for a wallet. If it comes down to the back pocket or an European carry-all, I’m sorry, but the back pocket wins every time…maybe thats why I’m still driving a car from the 90s.

And there is plenty of scientific studies to back this up.

Also back pocket wallets are known pickpocket targets, while they will steer clear of front pockets most often.

I agree though, I hate when magazines are cocky about peoples choices to make a point they might not be right to make.
