Men: is this a real belief?

Question for the gentlemen only please :)

This doesn't actually relate to me as such, but it's something that I heard and thought was ridiculous.

I was talking to my male friend and we were discussing girlfriends and things and I asked how his relationship was going and he said he'd ended it because her white bra had grey bra straps. I asked why it mattered and he said if a girl has grey bra straps then she's a liar and been cheating on their partner.

This would never have even crossed my mind if I looked at my girlfriends bar straps and they were grey, I'd just think it was a well worn bra and nothing more. But then of course I'm female. I just wanted to know whether it was something people believed or if it was my friend being his usual bizarre self.

My question is, do men actually believe this? If your girlfriend has grey bra straps, do you genuinely think she's cheated on you?

CindyCares agony auntNo, if a woman sports grey bra straps does not mean she is a liar.

It may mean she is cheap, though.

When bra straps become grey, it's time to buy a new bra :).

Pretty sure he also believes the toothfairy exists or that the earth is flat.

A specific colour does not make someone a liar.

Yes, it's true, some men do believe this.

They also believe that, unless you carry small packets of disposable tissues in your handbag at all times, you are a witch.

Honeypie agony auntThat is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Where the heck did he get that notion from?

Grey strap means it's an older bra that has been worn and washed a lot, THAT is all.

What a delusional dude!

If he wasn't kidding, he is certifiable.

Ciar agony auntMost likely it was your friend's way of saying he didn't want to talk about his relationship or its demise. He was directing your attention away from something uncomfortable and on to something absurd or mundane.

I have never heard of this belief from anyone in real life or anywhere on the internet. Ever.

I think this friend of yours lives with the fairies! A woman's bra colour has nothing to do with anything. God knows what he was on, but either he was having a joke with you, or he has some serious problems and needs help.
