Ode to the Stiletto Heel

[Taverner]

Yes I know these wreak havoc on a womans foot and leg, but beauty is not pretty.

[DarkTirade]

1. Am I the only guy who doesn't find women in heels attractive?

I like the way their legs look normally, not when they're all stretched in an uncomfortable position.

...



Well, not when they're stretched in that one particular uncomfortable position. O8)

[Taverner]

2. Each his own

I like a pair of bare feet as much as the next guy...but the stiletto heel has a certain beauty to it :)

[DarkTirade]

3. I dunno, just doesn't work for me.

I don't mind a girl wearing tall shoes, I've dated enough short girls to get used to that. :) But the ones that stretch them in a weird way just make them look... uncomfortable.

8. No, you are not the only one.

I don't understand the appeal either. I'm prefer women in flip-flops or running shoes.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

4. yummy! i love heels.

[Taverner]

5. And I'll bet you look fab in them :)

[racaulk]

6. I'll second that!

7. from what I understand

terrible for the foot and back, terrific for the leg.


However, I so long for the day when men's fashion depends upon some discomfort beyond wearing a tie. I wish you guys could get a better taste of what it's like to have to live with the "beauty is not pretty" attitude.

A taste of your own medicine is in order.

So I propose that next year's male fashion includes:

underwire boxer shorts
3- to 5- inch heeled, pointed-toe shoes
pants that have no pockets
pants that zip down the side instead of down the front
nylon underthings.... (I can just imagine how "the boys" will feel in material that doesn't breathe)




(And no, it's not all men's fault that women have to put up w/ this stuff. Women buy this stuff, so the fashion industry doesn't seem to have any reason to change their ways.)

9. Way to go, MissMillie....

:thumbsup:

[Taverner]

13. But my legs don't look as good in heels

And what is the deal with the zippers on the side?

[MissMillie]

15. I ask that question all the time

apparently those who think that zippers belong on the side don't have "Twin Peaks" to reach around to zip up.

[Taverner]

16. Although the women's fashion trend that is most illogical is the zipper in back

of the blouse...who can reach that far?

10. For years, I wore those things.

They made my legs look fantastic because those were the days of the micro-mini skirt. But now that my feet have been ruined, I dress for comfort. I love my Reeboks.

[triguy46]

11. The missus has 10 pairs of stilletos...

but for some reason, they never get out of the house, almost like they don't get walked in much....:evilgrin:

[Roon]

12. My shrink wears these

I have never seen her wear the same shoes twice. She must have a hundred of them.

[Oeditpus Rex]

14. I wouldn't wear 'em

So I don't expect women to.




I love it when they do, but — hell, I get a backache when I wear my cowboy boots.

[GoneOffShore]

17. And you don't have to wear them for a long time.

Only long enough to . . .


Ooops.

20. Not my cup of tea. Especially those boots on the bottom.

Guys should really be forced to wear something equally as uncomfortable and horrible for your body to be considered attractive. How many of them would do it?

[Matariki]

23. Oh! I LOVE those boots! Especially the ones with the red laces

Where did you find those pictures - i want to buy a pair.

[supernova]

21. I wear them only if I know

I'm not going to be walking much.

:evilgrin:

[In_The_Wind]

22. They aren't made for walking.

I love the way they make my legs look.

[lildreamer316]

24. I can run in them, thankyouverymuch.

comes with the job, y'know.
("HEY! Come back here with my money!!!")
Just kidding....

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. Ugggh.

My heels hurt just looking at those.

Wearing uncomfortable--not just that, but truly painful--shoes for beauty is dumbassery. Why women tolerate all this nonsense is beyond me.

27. I wore high heels once.

I put them on, stood up, and fell. Not even one step. Just call me Grace.
