A Male Perspective On Bras (What one man learned from working at Victoria's Secret)
askmen ^ | Christopher Pliny

Posted on 06/10/2013 11:19:44 AM PDT by rickmichaels

It was April of 2010, and, after five years, I’d finally graduated from college. An English major with double minors in biology and chemistry, I’d planned on attending dental school to become an oral maxillofacial surgeon. But after a series of disconcerting events, I ended up taking a job at Victoria’s Secret to spend a year studying women. I was on top of the world, really, no longer worrying about taking the DAT or writing my personal statement. All I had to do now was learn about a couple of bras, and how hard could that be?

A guy must be ‘under’employed to be working at a Victoria’s Secret.

I would never want to be waited on by a man (even a gay man) when shopping for a bra.

Neither would I ...

No ...wait!

Seriously.

If I'm buying "lady stuff" for Mrs. Bustard, I'd rather buy it from a lady. Buying it from a man would seem kinda creepy somehow.

Jewelry excepted ... that could go either way.

Why would Victoria Secrets hire a male, period?

To help guys shopping for their spouse/girlfriend? A lot of men have not based their whole life on knowing that the D is the biggest.

The tittorial on the fruit method was enlightening, but I note that he did not mention fried eggs and melons.

“No matter what sex you are — male, female or Cher — selling bras at Victoria’s Secret is really f*cking hard.”

LMAO!

A few years ago I discovered that the sales ladies in the mall are horrendous flirts around valentines day. Especially the ladies in VS.

It’s truly horrible to have all those pretty girls flirting with you just to get you to spend money.

raelly horrible

“...that had the wall of boobs...”

Oh THAT’s what that was. I was wondering why they were yelling at me to get down off the climbing wall.

Well, because when I go in for lingerie I find it sort of awkward asking a saleswoman for anything frilly in my size.

Wait. Wrong forum. DO NOT HIT THE POST BUTT

"You got the A, the B, the C and the D. That’s the biggest."

There are bigger ones than that, but maybe not at VS. I think they go all the way up to "J" or something like that. Some are almost industrial strength.

I had a friend who worked at a women's boutique. He sold more than the chicks he worked with.

"Oh THAT'S hot! You want that one." What a hoser!

As a guy, I wouldn't want some young punk's ideas on what lingerie or bra my wife or girlfriend would like. What the hell does he know?

And I've never met a guy who wouldn't prefer to be waited on by a good looking woman instead of a dumb guy.

I'm close to calling BS on this story.;-)

A couple of years ago I saw a story somewhere claiming that British women have the largest boobs, based on the size of the average bra sold.
