 Back pocket phone etiquette 

Is this only for the lady’s or do dudes do it too? 
 I was thinking the other way round, is it only for dudes and not us ladies? 
 I am a front pocket. The back is for the wallet. I’ve never seen a guy do the back pocket until just now. Seems exclusively female in my neck of the woods 
 🤔 
 It is possible that I am not looking at dude ass as frequently 🤷‍♂️ 
 bigot  
 I'm a phone in back pocket, wallet in front pocket guy. the sizes of these items match the pocket sizes in this configuration.  
 When did women get pockets? 
 What, you mean they’re not pockets? 🤣 
 Definitely not. 
 Depends on what you're doing. I'm usually a front pocket guy for everything but the immediate tools I need, but I see dudes with phones in any pocket that's handy and I don't think it matters.  
 When walking, in hand 20% of time. Back pocket 79%. And 1% dropped on floor.  
 There is rarely front pocket deep enough for a phone on women's pants. I'm lucky if my chapstick fits sometimes 😅  
 I used to keep the phone in the back pocket but somehow it lead to sciatic pain 😅 once i started putting the phone in the front pocket the pain went away and never returned... could just be coincidence 🤷🏻‍♂️ but now i'm a front pocket person  
 No electronics go in the back pocket.  Too easy to damage them.
