A purse is a small bag that people carry. It usually holds money and other items like cell phones and credit cards. It is a common accessory for women, but men can also use it. A purse can be in any shape and size, but it is often made from leather. It can be carried on the shoulder or in the hand.
A woman’s purse is a symbol of her financial power and control. Historically, many women have controlled the family’s finances and the purse strings. Many still do today. A woman’s happiness is largely dependent on her family and she often associates her own success with the well being of her husband and children. This is especially true in the case of married women.
When a woman talks about her problems, others may want to jump right in and offer solutions. However, this is usually not what she needs. What she really needs is to be heard. So, instead of offering advice, it is better to purse your lips and nod. This shows that you are listening.
