Men which pocket do you carry your wallet in?

Hey guys, my father gave me three fashion tips when I was growing up which were as follows:

1. Always carry a Hanky
2. Always wear a Belt with Blue Jeans
3. Always carry you wallet in you left back pocket

Now while i've always worn a belt with jeans, I don't even own a "Hanky" and I have Always carried my wallet in the back RIGHT pocket... which always gets the standard "Boy you ain't right" response from my dad.

Now he can't tell me why your supposed to carry it in you back left pocket he just says "because you supposed too". So I was wondering what the norm is? Is it Left or is it Right? And if anyone has a good reason for one pocket over the other let me know... BTW I am right handed which is why I think i started carrying it on the right.

I always carry mine in my left, no real reason why. I'm left footed, and right handed. Keep wallet in back left pocket, and keep cellphone in right cargo pocket (when wearing cargo pants).

I'm confused as to the relevancy of this topic, let alone the poll options.

I carry my wallet in my front right pocket. Wallet in the back pocket is so.. vulnerable.

Back right/right handed. Wont go in the front right, cash & keys. or front left smokes and phone. Not left handed so the back left is left for misc paperwork or small trash... whatever that was all worth.

Back right pocket, mainly because of being right handed. I've tried the back left a couple of times, but it just didn't feel right, kinda uncomfrotable. I guess my ass has just gotten used to the uncomfortable lump being on the right side.

I agree with Halx, I keep my wallet in my front pocket. Mostly out of paranoia of being pickpocketed, but also because I think it's really uncomfortable sitting on a wallet.

I carry my wallet in the front right hand pocket. Sitting on a wallet all day on already uncomfortable chairs isn't a great combination for me. And like Halx mentioned, I feel it is vulnerable.

Back right pocket unless i'm feeling paranoid then it goes to the front. Ideally I put it in my jacket inside pocket.

Normally, I keep it in my right back pocket. Some pants/shorts can be uncomfortable like this. When I go to concerts, I switch it to the right front.

normally back left pocket unless I have reason to (not in these parts ever) carry it in a more secure fashion; also where I carry my main pen unless I am wearing cargo pants or something that has pockets on the legs for it.
Left-handed for absolutely everything except my jump shot and that was just because no one taught to shoot me with my proper hand and I copied everyone else. Can't make a right handed layup to save my life though or do much else offensively with it on the basketball court.
<back on topic>
my back right pocket is only for my pocket knife or box knife; feel almost naked not carrying some kind of blade. May also carry my frequently present small notebook back there and a backup pen.

back right. Sitting on it is a no-issue, the pocket is high enough that you don't actually sit on it.

On the other hand, if I were to carry it in the front pocket, it would get in the way when sitting down. Maybe you guys were more baggy pants than I'm used to?

i don't like carrying my wallet in my back pocket, i'm always worried about being pick pocketed. i normally carry my keys and cell phone in my right pocket and wallet in my left.

i'm a student that wears baggy pants so i hate sitting on it too. if i'm wearing cargo pants, the wallet goes in the side pocket.

If I'm wearing baggy pants, it goes in my front left pocket. Mobile phone goes in the front right.
If my pants are tighter, ie. not very loose, I put it somewhere else. A bag, glove compartment, anything.
I actually shouldn't carry it in my pants altogether, it looks ugly, and it makes marks on my jeans - there is no way of hiding that I always carry my mobile phone in my jeans, as the outline of it is visible even if it's not in there...

I wear my wallet in my right back pocket when standing and in my right front pocket when sitting. Sitting on a wallet has been shown to cause back problems and besides, its uncomfortable. I am left handed as well.

I've got a small little wallet from Fossill, basically a money clip and holder for my DL and a couple of cards about the size of a bill folded in half. I carry it in my front right pocket.

I keep my wallet in the back right pocket, unless that pocket is sort of ripped off (as it is on quite a few pairs of my jeans), then it goes in the back left pocket.

Front left. Keys go in front right. Cell phone in breast pocket, or front right.

Sometimes, it migrates into my jacket.

I don't put things in my back pockets.

Front left. Keys, pocket knife, and pen in front right. Sitting on my wallet and keys is uncomfortable. That and easier to pick pocket. Plus, my father has had back problems his whole life. One of his doctors told him to move his wallet to his front pocket. Something to do with posture. I do not know if this is true or not but I use it as another reason to not carry it in my back pocket.

I'm a girl, but I carry a wallet- it's much simpler than a purse. I used to keep it in my right back pocket, but it started to wear holes in my jeans so I switched to the left pocket. It took about a week to get used to it, but it's fine now.

Back right pocket but this is a recent change. Most of my pants were showing a little wear and tear along the edge lines (especially jeans) where the wallet was pushing out along the left pocket. That's why I've switched to a right.

I don't think it matters much so you should make fun of your Dad for being a leftie.

Front pocket. I don't like sitting on things. I also think it's more secure there.

I've never carried a hanky and wear belts as little as possible.

Can we have the poll changed to allow front pockets?

It falls out continously in my back pocket, and it hurts like hell when is it down. I carry it in my right-front.
