Thirty to forty seconds seems like a big exaggeration to me. If the packet is to hand and you don't fumble tearing it, ten seconds seems closer to the mark.

Yep, it's all there in my least favorite pop-psychology book "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" - apparently if a certain subset of men discover that a woman can do something they can't - even if it is something they would reasonably expect to have had less practice at than women, such as, for example, bra opening - then it completely destroys their delicate little egos.
For some unfathomable reason the book does not recommend yelling "Get a life!" at them.

Oh that book was a hoot!
Well, it would be if it wasn't for the sad fact that so many women and men actually believed in this crap. When it came out, I was going to a lot of social events where the facilitators were recommending it to young adults like me, to solve their relationship problems. I read it thinking 'yep, I'm *definitely* not a woman'.
'Insulting to females' doesn't even start to describe John Gray...

A friend of mine pointed out that people who thought the book was great tended not to have long-term relationships, whereas most of us who threw it at the wall have been married for years.
