Let's say someone's wife runs with one of those belt/waistpacks where she puts her phone, keys, ID card, etc. Let's say the husband has always mocked her and called it her "fanny pack." But now the husband has a new phone that is too large to fit into the zip pocket of most of his running shorts. Would it be a chick move for the middle-aged husband to get a running belt? Do dudes use these belts? Asking for a friend.

First, the embarrassing thing isn't the belt, it's the phone, regardless of how you carry it.
That said, I get that there are legit reasons to run with one. (Though, incidentally, people always say they need it because they can't be out of touch; yet very few people ran with phones until they became most people's default music player...hmm.) The best options are the flipbelt or the Nathan hipster/zipster. The latter is cooler in hot weather. The other one that's pretty popular is the SPIbelt, but that seems not to work as well for men and skinny folks, as they have to cinch the thinner belt really tight to hold the phone in place.

I thought it was extremely beta to be concerned about what your wife thinks about what you wear, but to leave your phone at home at the fear of "getting attacked"? Wtf. Grow a spine both of you.

Young kids at school and often run during the day; gotta be in touch in case they need a pickup, which has happend multiple times. People who run without phones must not have families. Enjoy life with no one to care for or no one to care for you!

Get an Apple Watch (or whatever if you’re android)
tbh I hate it, and don’t wear it except running, but love having a phone on my wrist for emergencies.
well worth the money to not have to carry a big heavy phone

I’ve purchased three, all of them bounce way too much with my iPhone 11 so I wind up carrying it in my hand if I need it.
I’m sure something will work, but at uptempo paces it’ll bounce a lot more than at 10 min/mile.
I think you need it to not have an elastic band, like the common Nike one that is really for a key and a gel. The weight of a big phone will just make it bounce. Look for something that will be comfortable without a band that will stretch.

A friend runs with one to store his Ruger. I don’t know the brand though

The embarrassing thing is if your gut hangs over the belt of the fanny pack.

This is a festival of trollery. 'Dudes' mock their wives and don't want to be seen doing 'chick things'? Then first respondent claims to have been held up multiple times by armed assailants and says that is common. TROLLS.
