Indeed, it’s not that hard – if (as in this pic) you’re looking right at the clasp with plenty of light. If, however, you’ve never in your life had a close look at a bra clasp, and you’re reaching around blindly from the front … that’s another story.
If you’re a teenage guy, pulse racing as you attempt your first bra-ectomy, the last thing that comes to mind is to grab the ends of the fabric and pull them toward each other (to take the tension off the clasp). Cinch it **tighter** ?? Madness!!
It IS simple – when you know what sort of fastener it is. But, there is nothing guys wear that has a comparable clasp, and also nothing (except perhaps a elt) – that guys wear which needs to be momentarily cinched tighter in order to unfasten it.
Most guys are reaching around from the front, (usually with only 1 hand) and – at least initially – relying on just their fingers both to learn what sort of fastener is there, and also to unhook it. Failure is not an option!
It’s just a hook and loop. Just push the two together – towards each other. Good Old Grandpa has arthritis and still manages to do this with one hand. He’s still got it – just like the Fonz…
It always makes me laugh when some guys can’t unhook a bra when staring right at it when girls can do it one handed, behind their back, and through a shirt. We have more practice, but still, it gets me every time.
So feminine.
This is why women were meant to have long flowing hair…..and live, locked in a tower
“woman’s bra”, that’s like saying there’s a male equivalent.

THE MANZIER!!
There actually are bras designed for moobs and also bra-like garments for athletes to prevent nipple chafing.
This looks like the male equivalent.
Nope… it’s actually a valid distinction. There are men who wear bras… wikipedia even has an article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male_bra
Take off a woman’s… bra, not coat or shoes
Are there really men out there that find this difficult or is it just something on TV? It’s really not that hard.

I imagine there are, especially if it’s new to them and something they’re not familiar with.
But no, it’s not that hard… at all.

… I think this is just a result of american teens being stupid. By just examining a bra once, it should be easy to see how to unclasp it.
>> By just examining a bra once
Therein lies the difficulty. Few guys think to examine Mom’s (or sis’) undies in preparation…
Best part is when she smiles, reaches back, and does it herself.
Definitely!
Much better than having her arch an eyebrow and look impatient.
I managed it my first try. Sheer luck, mind you.
Failed in subsequent attempts, but I was 16. Cut me some slack.
Now? It’s embarrassingly easy.
Isnt this from a movie… i’d guess its “40 year old virgin” or something like that
It’s from The Office…
Really? because I was thinking that “woman” looked a lot like dwight.. lol
I don’t know about Dwight, but that is a dude wearing a bra.
Yeah thats dwight because pam wouldnt let micheal take off her bra.
C4 should work if all else fails. C4 solves everything.
No, WD-40. That should loosen the clasp. Then give her some duct tape to put it back on.
I don’t know why there’s always this joke about this. It’s just a hook. you just unhook it.

Er, “belt” not “elt”
oh you sounded so cute there for some reason.
this is from the office s03e15 or so (called “Ben Franklin”) where michael (steve carell) tries to explain his future kids how to open a bra.
No wonder he was the 40 year old virgin….
