This whole "theory" is stupid, stupid, stupid!  When I first started wearing, I could hook in the back, no problem.  My mother was a 36A and taught me to fasten in the back.  In the small sizes, it's relatively easy 'cause there's only 1 hook.  However, as I needed bigger and bigger sizes, those things came with rows of 3 or 4 hooks.  Makes a big difference!  And that's how I became "An Infuencer."

You can put a bra on over your head?????   I never even thought of that.

I have been an influencer my whole life, I guess.

Who rememebers "training bras"?  I thought, what are we training them for?  I mean I can well remember my Mother getting my first one and my cousin- a male of course- would tease me brutally over that..  Had I known when I was that young about other things, well I'd of made fun of his manhood hadn't developed yet, LOL ...  OK back on hooking..

You have to wonder why anybody would devote time for this type of research lol.

I realize that not everything in life has to be serious, and it is fine to enjoy silly little discussions like this, but to call this scientific research and then make conclusions from it is absolutely ridiculous. Maybe the human behavior expert who made these ridiculous statements could spend some time researching something much more valuable about human behavior. 

For the record I put mine on by bending forward and fastening in the back - the way my mom taught me.

I don't think anyone here considers this actual 'scientific research', that's what this thread is.....poking fun at all of the meaningless, so-called 'research' that somebody must spend $$$ to do or have done.

For what??

I hook it in front, then turn it around. When I hook it in back, I usually miss hooks. Certain styles I step into & pull up.

They practice on each other with big Sis's bra, maybe.

So... the guy ,with the biggest moobs, wears the bra while the other guys practice unhooking it?

@sailor_moon

No, one puts it on the other & he has to undo it himself, behind his back with one hand, then the others take a turn. 

That's what my brother & his friends did, we caught 'em! LOL!

They watch the episode of Happy Days where Fonzie shows the guys how to do that using a bra fitted onto a radiator in the boys bathroom at Arnold's.

Seems like the research dollars would have been better served on breast cancer research & education.

I ran across an old movie: 'Shaggy Dog' (1959),   Anyway, the character 'Francesca', played by Roberta Shore, was wearing one of those 'pointed' bras (called 'bullet' bras) underneath her sweater.  Anyone here recall anyone in real life wearing those 'pointed' bras?  I'm guessing in the 1950's.  Wouldn't it be a hoot to see that retro style return?
