Things we know how to do

[michellecd9999]

So I was thinking yesterday as I put on my bra and was hooking it behind me in 2 seconds, Gee, being a CD we learn how to do a lot of things that "regular" guys never do. Like:
- hooking a bra behind you (instead of hooking it in the front and spinning it around)
- applying makeup- correctly
- putting on pantyhose and stockings without tearing them
- Clipping the garters onto the stockings (especially the ones in back that you can't see or reach very easily!)
- walking in high heels, especially going down stairs


Any more you can think of?

- Sitting with my legs closed
- Bending over like a lady
- Typing with longer nails
- Polishing nails
- Walking gracefully (or at least trying to)

The GGs I have had a chance to observe all hook-and-spin their bras (except for front closing ones.) I can fasten a bra in the back but I do not often do so now, as there is too much risk of twisting my shoulder at a bad angle.

You could add to your list unzipping back-zipped dresses. Which can be rather a struggle if the dangle on the zipper is short!

LOL I was just thinking that I have learned to do all these things! My ex wife would have been so proud! especially the bra one.... nothing killed the mood quicker than me fumbling with the hooks on the back only to be told, "Honey? It opens in the front".

[Cindy M]

I hook and spin. My Wife has always done it, and it's how She taught me to put on a bra. How can you argue with that?

[Kate Simmons]

Yeah but unfortunately none of this kind of stuff will lead to a useful, viable occupation.

Not being a "regular" guy, does this mean that they:
- out on their bras by hooking it in the front and spinning it around?
- apply their makeup incorrectly
- tear their pantyhose when they put them on
- don't clip their garters onto their stockings
- only walk up stairs in their high heels

After wearing bras from time to time since about 5 years old growing up, I was one of the few boys who when making out with a girl, could very quickly and easily unsnap their bra. Several girls commented on how good I was at this. They did not know I had more experience with bras then they did.

[BLUE ORCHID]

Hi Michelle, I learned to use a sewing machine at an early age.

I learned to do the finger/thumb un snap on the back hooks early on.

My issue right now is the things I need to know how to do that I don't!!!! I tried painting my nails yesterday......worse than a half blind 3 year old...!

[Beverley Sims]

Yeah but unfortunately none of this kind of stuff will lead to a useful, viable occupation.

Including a lot of other SKILLS we have learned.
All my skills I have learned have just got me into trouble.
After been seen doing up a bra at the back. "You have done this before.
Haven't you.

Mananging the tiny clasp on necklaces and other jewlery while wearing long nails

Buttons on blouses with long nails is also a milestone to accomplish

The GGs I have had a chance to observe all hook-and-spin their bras (except for front closing ones.)

I agree - it was my knowledge of the hook-and-spin technique that raised GG eyebrows on one occasion when I was supposedly cross-dressing for laughs (but actually taking it a whole lot more seriously).

[Lucy Lou]

I am the same with stockings, I have put them on so many times they are just second nature to me. And feel too right. I wish I could ware them every day. Lucy

[sinderella]

Heel cross over toe...heel cross over toe (walking like a lady) and actually putting the heel down first (while in high heels) rather than tippy toeing about.

[Karren H]

All my hockey player guy friends know how to use a garter belt.... and put on stockings and a girdle.. lol

The big eye-opener for me was a couple of years ago. I was staying away from home -I woke up realising that my car was parked in a public car park opposite the hotel and I needed to renew the meter or I would be fined in 5 mins...

I had gone to sleep with my make-up on (OK, what a s**t), but I just leapt out of bed, touched up my make-up, bra, stockings, heels, wig.. whatever was on the floor from the night before... down in the elevator, through the lobby, over the road, did the car thing... back towards the hotel, smiles from a couple of guys, back to my room... looked in the mirror... the best I have ever looked! Didn't think about a thing... scary! I even took a pic... I was so high!

It is everything that everyone has said... technical things, but also little mannerisms... BUT the biggest? Smiling at everyone and being positive and supporting and couching critical comments in positive and reinforcing language... That is hard and I am working on it!

I agree about painting nails... I am pants at that! Used to be loads better... maybe out of practice!

hooking a bra behind you (instead of hooking it in the front and spinning it around)
- applying makeup- correctly
- putting on pantyhose and stockings without tearing them
- Clipping the garters onto the stockings (especially the ones in back that you can't see or reach very easily!)
- walking in high heels, especially going down stairs

My makeup is questionable but otherwise I do fail at all of the above.

I do a fair job with my nails though !

[CynthiaD]

For me:

Putting on a sports bra without having it roll up into a knot.

Taking off a sports bra when you're all sweaty.

Putting on pantyhose without ripping them when you haven't had the time to trim your toenails.

Painting your toenails without painting your whole toe.

Painting your fingernails without accidentally touching one of the wet ones.

Putting on lipstick without running off the edge of your lips.

Wearing a wig properly.

Hmm... The list seems to go on and on ...
