I refuse to use an umbrella myself, but mostly because I find them impractical and unnecessary. My skin and my earbuds are waterproof, plus where I live it usually rains sideways.

I feel you. I find them more of a hassle than anything. I could go on for a bit on why they're annoying and you're better off using another method to stay dry. None of them are "don't use an umbrella because that's gay" though as I'm not an emotionally immature middle school boy that doesn't get enough attention at home.

To each their own. My jacket does not have a hood good enough to protect me, it sometimes falls off my head, doesn't protect my nose etc. So I prefer an umbrella.

spoiler

On a side note, I can also hang out with another person under it. But that would make me pretty gay, of course.
