Geek holsters… oh hell no.

Honestly, I’m the last one to be giving men any fashion advice. I’m still learning myself (I was going to back link to my other post but I accidentally deleted it - sorry). However, I do have enough fashion sense to tell you geeks that once you have trouble bending over because of the multitude of belt-situated holsters is when you have lost the ability to attract the opposite sex *.

This weekend while shopping in Seattle, I had a sighting of a man with so much holstered gadgets that he had trouble bending over when he dropped coins paying for an over-whipped Starbucks drink. Finally, when he did manage to bend over, the gadgets lined up on the front all snapped from his belt creating a HUGE scene as he nose dived for his precious electronics. This, my friends, is not a pretty picture that screams machismo.

So to avoid this situation, get a cool messenger bag to house all of your various electronic equipment (try to stay away from the man-purse or murse those things just scream loser snob). If there is one or two items then a good jacket (with many pockets) can act as a carrying case for your gear.

Having 1 small hidden holster clipped to your belt is fine except when wearing the following **:

• A suit
• Pajamas
• Lingerie
• Swimming trunks or Bathing suits
• Clothes… period

* Note: Maybe you have given up trying to attract any sort of woman/man for any sort of relationship (or you’re in one where your significant other doesn’t mind the public embarrassment) in which case, go ahead!

** Note: Cheryl (my fiancee) says that even writing a blog post about holsters already makes me a geek. She also says that a holster worn anywhere is NEVER ok (regardless of how functional it is ***). Even when you’re sleeping or dreaming. (I think we get her point).

*** Note: Apparently also defending the functionality of a holster also makes me a geek.
