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?

Why would Victoria Secrets hire a male, period?

NHS wants to know everybody's secrets.

And then there’s the 38 Long. He left that size out.

You wouldn’t say that if you could see the size that Mrs. Vigilanteman has.

My son worked there while in college. He is 6’3” with long golden hair and sparkling emerald eyes and was “buff” after he had been working at UPS loading trucks all summer. While walking through the mall one day a manager approached him and hired him on the spot to stand in front area inside the store and talk to girls. He had to do nothing else. After that he went on to be a bouncer and bartender. He finally got a real job a couple years after college but held onto the bartending gig until recently.

"Best. job. ever...."

My son works for the Seattle Seahawks merchandise warehouse, which is in the stadium, and the other day there was a special event at the stadium at which the SeaGal cheerleaders were performing. They didn't have a proper dressing room, so had to change their outfits in the warehouse right outside my son's office window. They didn't seem shy.

A lot of men have not based their whole life on knowing that the D is the biggest.

FWIW, D is NOT the biggest. DD/E, EE/F... even GG... aren't the biggest. Theoretically, there's no "upper limit," but when you're talking about retail stores like Vicky's, I can tell you that while they do carry DD/E, the selection is very sparse.

The biggest “real” bra I’ve heard of is an “M”. (Porn star claims aside.) Above “D” there isn’t really any standardization of cup sizes. One vendor’s “F” may be identical to a second vendor’s “EE” and so forth.

Chesty Morgan had two Midgets carrying her’s and the drinking age was 18. Good times....

Back in the 1960s, some University suggested Engineering students try and design a “perfect bra”.

The students thought it was such a good idea they said they would “keep a hand in it!”

As an aside, it is a great idea to hang on to a secondary profession or skill just in case the need ever arises...and bartenders will ALWAYS be in demand.

There’s a size “M”? I’m thinking you could stuff that in a backpack, hook it up to a static line and jump safely from 3000 feet.

I actually sold Tom Brokaw’s daughter a jogbra.

For the Active Woman

Or, as a female co-worker once told me....for the Active Woman with Chest. "On me it just digs an X-shaped trench into my back."

There’s really a lot of diversity in breasts out there. Having a top-heavy wife has made me keenly aware of the burden they carry, no pun intended. Most women with breasts larger than an E are recommended to undergo a reduction for overall musculoskeletal health.

A woman once came in and said she was buying one for her daughter - she said something to the effect “yes she has a big chest and they are nice to look at, but they can be a pain sometimes.”

Not as big a boob as he, I suspect.

I can’t find a picture but there was a contestant on the UK version of Big Brother named Lea Michaels who was a size 30 M and I believe the largest at one time in Britain

I,was working in London then and saw her on TV. OMG doesn’t describe it.
