I suspect women on average will physically carry more cards around just because we typically carry larger wallets. I actually carry all of mine. Is that unusual?
Right now all of them are in my wallet, but I have a big biker wallet so they all fit. Some of them are going to the SD as they are only used a couple times a year though.
In wallet are Ritz, Barclay SM and Amex BCP because those are the ones I use almost every day. The other 10 are sock drawered.

I have all of mine in my wallet as well, but its getting pretty packed. When I receive my Chase Freedom next week, I will most likely SD at least half of them as I don't plan to use them.

Most of my cards are SD, just carry daily Amex BC, Citi Forward, Double Cash and Visa gift card (and now my wife's SM for 7% on gas). Other cards are used only online, or taken out when need (e.g Cash Plus for vet visits)
But even when I had fewer and carried more, I never carried ALL my ccs. Always have at least one somewhere else so if your wallet gets lost or stolen, you have an emergency card.
I am currently carrying BCE, SM and Chase Freedom (Amex, MC & Visa). Over the weekend, I trotted out my CU CC to keep it active. But it is safe at home now.
What would you do if you lost your wallet/purse? Shouldn't you have at least one card at home?
My wallet has my PRG, marriot, citi double cash, citi forward, my BoA travel card (in case I end up in a place that has a "bank amerideals" lol) and my discover it.
