Yeah, I am in much the same boat as lunchy when it comes to my handbag. I carry around a surprising amount of stuff on a daily basis and no matter how hard I try to simplify it, it just returns to it's previous levels.
Generally my handbag will contain my keys, wallet (fairly large because I carry a shitload of cards and still manage to have a rather large stack on my desk at home), phone, sunglasses case, bottle of water, hair pins, lip balms, hairbrush, laptop power cable, random other stuff I pick up during the day, a myriad of different kinds of hand creams and antihistamines. If it is winter I will generally have an umbrella or an extra cardigan or something.
On top of all of that there is still room for my boyfriend's things as well if we are out somewhere and he doesn't want to have them in his pockets
I pretty much hate handbag shopping because everything is either too small or too big or doesn't have any organisational pockets or it's the wrong colour or an ugly material. I did buy a rather nice handbag in Japan though, which I am pretty happy with.
Something Witty:
Man the only time I ever gave my girlfriend stuff to carry is when I wanted my stuff in a zipped up bag instead of in my pockets, which wasn't very often. Of course my standard loadout is keys wallet and phone, sometimes a knife. All of which I keep minimal(3 keys on my keyring, for example) so I don't mind carrying them.

When I didn't carry a purse, I hated pants with no pockets. But that was when I was in high school, and mostly wore man-pants anyway. Now, I want girl pants to at least have pockets, but I don't care if they're big. I have big hips and I do not need to add any bulk to that area. One thing I really hate, though, is girl pants with no back pockets. Even fake back pockets are okay, but no back pockets make my butt look weird. I have a super curvy ass and need my pants to cater to that before anything else.
So anyway, I like this thing where we list what's in our purses. I have a huge wallet (over 15 cards, cash and change, receipts and coupons), sunglasses in a case, 9x12 medical records binder, keychain full of keys and also a monkey, tin full of various pills, lotion, hand sanitizer, lip balms, some makeup, brush, nail file, mirror, nail clippers, headphones, note pad and pens, and eye drops. For winter I've added a scarf, hat, and gloves. And, yes, there's still room for my boyfriend's crap.
He is the coach for a culinary knowledge bowl team and I went to the competition last year. Everyone had to give up their cell phones when they went to compete, and I don't know what he was going to do, had I not been here. I had 7 cell phones total, along with any other junk they had but didn't want to carry.
Lines:
I carry a small purse if I have to. I would rather just carry things in my pockets.
I am not a real girl.
Then again, I'm in school, so most of my crap stays in my messenger bag. And when I go out, having a purse is annoying. So yeah. I like purses, I just don't like using them half the time.
Ladybug:
Same here. I feel "weird" carrying a purse, but I guess it's just because I never do, so I'm not used to it.
Stuff either goes into the pockets on my pants or my jacket, and if I have to/feel like carrying more than my keys, wallet and cellphone, I just bring my messenger bag, which I am way more comfortable carrying. My wallet mostly stays in my jacket pocket, while my keys go into the pockets of my pants, and my cellphone is in whichever was convenient at the time. It gets annoying with pants that have "fake" pockets, though, because I like to at least be able to fit my keys into them.
