Today, I realized that a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering does not offer enough knowledge and experience to accomplish some simple, everyday tasks. I have spent the last 12 years designing large robots to scour the seabed for shipwrecks yet the mechanism used to unhook a bra eludes me. FML

Inspiration for a new robot to design maybe?

Honestly it sucks for you. You failed your sophmore year.

Bras have been studied for years by men.

To be honest, I don't see what's so difficult about bra hooks to men, they're totally easy... I know someone who can ping them off using only one hand.

Easiest way is to use 2 fingers to pinch it when you have found the strappy bit and then slide them apart. I can usually do it but every now and again it just goes wrong

I second #29! This is SO cute! You may feel like a dork, but I'm loving it :D I hope your gal appreciates this right here~

It took some time, and a few instructions from the woman, but now I've got it down. It helps having a cool chica to talk you through it the first time or two, then once you have it down, your set.

I'm sorry, but don't worry you're not alone as you can see from the responses. My boyfriend still has some trouble too, so I save him the trouble and take it off myself. Don't worry, not every woman is a bitch about something so simple. :D. Hey, look at the bright side, you have a Ph.D. That should definitely make up for the lack of that little skill!

I can't unhook a bra either...lol. At my OBGYN appt last week the doctor told me to unhook my bra so he could do a breast exam. I couldn't do it cause I never unhook my bras from the back. I always slip the straps off my shoulder, twist it around. and then unhook it in the front. So, after fumbling for a few seconds I look at my boyfriend and say "You do it!" He walks over and unhooks it with one hand. He is proud of his skill. I think the doctor was impressed too. Don't worry OP, just takes practice!

finally!!! i thought i was the only girl who took off her bra like that!! its just the way my mom taught me so im used to it

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait...Why was your bf with you at the OB/GYN? Unless it was for the OB part because you're pregnant then never mind....but if not.....that's just weird....

that's how I put a bra on. To take mine off, I hold the side with the holes and then press the hook side forward then up/out. I don't think it's a turn off, but it's definitely easier for my guy if I wear a front clasp one because he can see what he's trying to do :). Don't worry about not knowing hon, if your girl is really mad that you can't do it, then she's not worth it
