  1. Now, back on topic. Seeing a man wearing a pair of high heel shoes evokes impressions of a man dressing as a woman which could be considered as being mildly sexually deviant in today’s society. Since high heels have been associated exclusively with the female gender over the past couple of centuries, any male sporting a fashionable pair of elegant Black Patient leather pumps with five inch heels on his feet would be an unusual sight and could become subject of intense conversation when he’s wearing them in public. While the practice has become increasingly accepted these days, it still largely remains controversial. It seems that in the past decade people have become more likely to discuss the pro’s and cons of crossdressing (which some psychologists believe wearing only heels to be) than to openly condemn the practice. Those men that have been wearing their “girls shoes” openly in public for years can attest to this measurable change in attitude, having personally experienced the “slings and arrow” rebukes, insults and criticisms intensely directed in their direction in the past. The degree that any male desire to wear female attire, whether it’s 100.% passing as a female or occasionally mixing items of women’s clothing, such as shirts, blouses, jackets or shoes, is immaterial. For the most part, the person dawning the clothes is usually doing so to satisfy their own desires and not to try to deceive or fool others into believing they are something they aren’t. The accepted norms for female fashion is much more complicated and complex than male dressing as those of us that have female partners are aware. The choice of clothing to match the event, color and proper accessories accenting “the look”, among other attributes, is intensely important. The main accessory that can “make or break” the overall appearance of the “look” is the shoes. The choices for men are is severely limited - work, play or dress up. Women’s choices, on the other hand, are as numerous as the different species of flowers. Fashionable dressed women work over time selecting “just the right pair” to succeed in accomplishing their dream appearance. The aspect that is most common to both genders, when it comes to wearing high heels, is walking while wearing them. Whether you’re a man or a woman you have identical problems. You have to learn how to walk properly while wearing them. Some men/women are natural wearers. They pop on a pair and trot on off about their business unaware they are even wearing high heels. Others encounter physical difficulties they cannot overcome. It’s those in between that need training and proper instruction. For those “first time” wearers, it is only to human nature to try them on the first time they get their hands on a pair. Once they have satisfied their curiosity and decide to continue wearing them, it would be a good time to talk with an experienced wearer, comparing and discussing sizing and professional instruction, should they feel it would be helpful. Keep in mind that acquiring professional instruction early on would be very beneficial before developing harmful practices and hard to break habits that could lead to physical discomfort. Thoroughly reviewing websites on the internet and using email evaluate course content could be very helpful. Most importantly, be aware that wearing an absolutely beautiful pair of high heels is an enormously satisfying and thoroughly pleasurable sensation that there is. Once you’ve began, you’ll never quit.
  2. Thank you for your comment, Shyheels. The identity slug, beneath my initial symbol above, shows that I have posted 13.3k comments over the time I have been a member here. I have related this part of my history before. A long time ago. It is the way it happened. I felt that if we were going to become involved to a point where a lifetime commitment was possible, then that commitment should be based upon the absolute truth if it was going to succeed. Our commitment was complete and successful. The only problem was that It didn’t last long enough. My wife passed away after only 36 years together. We were the same age. We should still be going strong. You cannot imagine how much I miss her. I realize that this is “off subject”. Please forgive me for reminiscing.
  3. Walking in heels. Something I never thought about until the first time I wore them in front of my wife. She was just my girlfriend at the time but we had been dating for several months. I met her on our first day at college. We hit it off from the first moment we met and when it became apparent that we were going to be more than boyfriend and girlfriend, I decided that it was time I told her about my life long love of wearing heels so that if she had a problem with that part of my personality, she could call it quits before we became to involved. One evening coming home after nice dinner at a good restaurant, I decided to bring the subject up. I thoroughly explained my situation along with a complete history description. I even told her that I owned several pairs that I would occasionally wear around my room where I was living. She told me that she had thought there was something unusual about my choice of footwear because my shoes, even though they could be worn by a man, were of styles that could be found in the women’s section of any shoe store. After a lengthy discussion, we decided that the following day I would bring a pair of my heels over to her place and show them to her. I picked her up the next afternoon and we drove to an excluded place out in the country. I chose a great pair of black patent pumps with 5” heels that I had owned for a couple of years, that were very comfortable and I could walk for miles while wearing them without discomfort. I changed into my pumps and we got out of the car and started walking down the road. While we were walking along, I explained that I realized that this desire was unusual and that over the years I had tried my best to stop. But after not wearing them for several weeks, my attitude became troubling and the desire so strong that I couldn’t help but start wearing them. So I decided since I couldn’t stop l would never try to quit wearing them again. Her reaction was one of curiosity. She asked many questions about my parents reaction and my experiences wearing heels in public, One of her comments was how surprised she was that I could walk so well without difficulty while wearing heels as high as these. How long did it take me to learn to walk in them? I replied that I had been wearing heels since before I was two years old while playing in my mother’s clothes closet. So, wondering about how I learned how to walk in heels was something that I had never thought about. Walking in heels was as natural to me as going barefoot. We walked back to the car and drove home. As she was getting out at her place, she said that I had taken her completely by surprise springing this upon her the way I did and that she would have to think about it before she could decide how it would effect us. She asked me not to call her for awhile. She said that she would call me when she sorted things out and had some idea how to deal with it.
  4. The more normal and natural you look the less attention you’ll attract. That’s not to say that nobody will notice that you’re wearing heels because they will. But more than likely they will just take a passing glance with out any visible reaction. That has been my experience.
  5. My early childhood years I was dressed for the occasion. Three sets of clothes - School, Church and Play- Church clothes were appropriate for parties and most more formal formal occasions. Here I am, at 68 years of age, still practicing these same three divisions of dressing except, since my retirement, my daily morning and early afternoon choices trending more towards more casual apparel.
  6. Wasn’t there a female country singer named “Kitty Wells” that was popular back around the late 1960’s? Perhaps you retrieved a name from really deep in your memory that you might have heard and forgotten.
  7. If your church is anything like mine, appearing at a service tastefully dressed will win every time. I appreciate your posting pictures of what you wear each week. Makes me wonder though if any of the women showing up are wearing higher heels. I really like the pair you are wearing in this picture.
  8. I’ve always heard that a good appearance is key to making a positive first impression which is desirable If you are eager to convince this prospective business partner that you and your wife are worthy of joining together in what you believe would be a worthwhile endeavor. I would suggest you show up nicely dressed sans high heels. That doesn’t mean you should wear your men’s shoes. I am thinking along the lines of you wearing a women’s styles that that can be worn be either sex. A nice pair of black or brown penny loafers with two inch heels, for example so you appear properly attired while wearing something that only you are aware is feminine. I believe I have mentioned before that I prefer to wear women’s shoes exclusively. While wearing heels is highly desirable there are occasions when heels worn by a man would not be socially appropriate. Hence styles more fitting to the occasion, which I frequently practice. Besides high heels, my collection includes loafers, ankle boots and sandals and various other styles with lower heels that are never questioned when ever I wear them. just a suggestion!
  9. You must have looked “astonishing!”
  10. To wear a belt or not wear a belt! That isn’t the question! Who cares anymore. Where I live, should you appear nicely dressed anywhere in public you would be the exception. It seems that people just don’t care what they wear or how they look these days. Apparently the “hobo”, or more appropriately, the “homeless or illegal immigrant” look is the “in” way to dress. Personally, I really don’t care. I don’t have to associate with any of them if I choose not to. As long as they don’t smell to high heaven while sitting next to me at a restaurant, why should I be critical of what they are wearing when I, myself, am wearing my nicest pair of high heels 👠 which could clearly be considered as being “socially deviant?” Therefore, to criticize or not to be criticized is really the question. As for me, I choose to dress nicely, as I was taught to as a child, and let the rest of the world “do their own thing.”
  11. Never fear, MLP, experienced electricians are in high demand in our area. One of my first clients is a highly regarded, well trained, fully licensed, talented electrician that could do almost anything to do with industrial and residential electrical engineering. Outstanding in his chosen profession but had no head for the business end. I ran into him while our family was on vacation. We happened to be staying at the same resort. He described his business difficulties during a friendly conversation one afternoon. And, since I was recently medically retired from the military without steady employment, I told him that I thought that I could reorganize his operation to a point where he only had to worry about completing the job and leave the administrative, logistical and personnel matters to me. We managed to work together and it took about 18 months to put the business back into the black. A couple of years ago he sold his business to a major corporation and retired. Now, he is in great demand managing to stay busy free lancing domestic electric repairs and minor installations around our city. So, rest easy. Your skills will remain in high demand longer than you desire to practice them. :-)
  12. Different likes and styles. My opinion is “Man, tuck it in. Woman untucked.”
  13. Whether or JeffB voluntarily chose to leave Hhplace or was encouraged to leave by th powers in place is not important. He was a long time member and I do remember when his first postings were about his wearing high heels in public at his work place. Over the span of his membership his interests expanded to include adding wearing items of female apparel, eventually culminating in full crossdressing which went outside th parameters of this site. That being said, I happened to recently run across several pictures of him in full costume on another website. Unfortunately there was not any reference as to where his pictures could be accessed. I wonder if any of you know of any websites where we could reunite with him? Please share the location or address if you do. I know that I am not the only one who would like to reconnect with him.
  14. After further review I noticed that back in the early days of HHPLACE’s beginning, around 2006 or before, Administrators permitted Guests to post comments expressing their opinion, comments and suggestions. Some time after that they changed their policy to only permitting registered members to post here. Perhaps they changed this policy due to the increase in the number of people posting comments outside of the website’s expressed purpose causing problems and excessive labor scrubbing them. Over the time since I joined “Admins” have banned a number of people due to their activity not being in compliance with the rules and stated goals, JeffB for example. I, for one, recognize their situation because I have received several warnings about some things I posted. Perhaps there are really more people posting than we are aware of because their comments fail to meet established standards and are considered inappropriate for public consumption. I don’t have any problem with that and appreciate our Admin’s efforts to maintain the standards and purposes established. But I really miss JeffB.
  15. The time right now where I live is 7:50 P.M. EST (19:50 hours). And this website’s statistics show that there are/have been 137 people logged into it over the past 30 minutes that the website captures on a rolling basis. Out of this number only two people are noted as being members. The rest are noted as “guests.” The Forum index indicates that the last posted comment was recorded 13 hours ago. There is no way of telling how many other guests or members have been viewing our comments over the past 12 hours. But, when I was here at 08:30 this morning, the website statistics reflected a total of 108 people logged in with 5 of these being members, the rest noted as “guests, with only one comment recorded. While our forums statistics indicate quite a bit of interest on the subjects covered here, the lack of comments placed is really disappointing. Frankly, I don’t have any idea on how to elicit comments that would make the place more interesting. Any ideas anyone?
  16. I totally agree with HinH. We are indeed fortunate that mlroseplant appears amongst us both in comments and photos demonstrating that appearing in public wearing high heels and occasionally mixing Items of feminine apparel with his outfits is courageous and socially acceptable, much in the same manner as does kneehighs, casting aside any fear of being stigmatized as deviant. Their examples demonstrate the fact that while wearing items of clothing usually associated with male or females, they are really totally normal people who’s taste happens to include selecting color, shapes and functions not usually associated with males. I, for one, do not pay attention to what clothing fashion designers and models present during their shows. Often I have great sympathy for the models who have to wear these hideous designers creations. At times models must be humiliated and embarrassed having to appear on the runway wearing these unappealing creations. As to this forum, it’s appeal to me (or those of us that frequently login) would totally be diminished should either or both kneehigh or mlrosplant disappear or no longer post comments. Should that happen, given the decline in comments being posted, Hhp might as well pack it in.
  17. I like those. They would work for me. Especially wearing them with a pair of shorts on the beach or at a restaurant on a pleasant summer evening.
  18. Not to reopen the subject noted here, but I had an interesting experience yesterday afternoon that reminded me of the this thread. On my way home from church I stopped at a drug store to pick up some vitamin supplements. Their was a fashionably dressed beautiful young woman looking at some over the counter medicine in the same isle. I couldn’t help noticing her outfit because she was better dressed than any other woman I had seen all morning. I took notice of her shoes that she was wearing. Much to my surprise, she was wearing pare of black leather pumps with 4 1/2” wedge heels. While they looked presentable, they had that “often” worn look. But what really peaked my interest, besides the fact that I had an identical pair in my closet at home that I wear quite frequently, was I noticed that the shoes leaned in the same manner described in this thread. In fact the angle they leaned was so acute that the heel caps were worn to a point that caused the shoes on both feet to lean outwards to a degree that they looked uncomfortable. That being said, what is even more curious to me is why she wore that particular pair of shoes when she was so beautifully dressed. In my opinion, they spoiled her overall appearance.
  19. Interestingly enough, I was clearly able to read the article on my I pad. While I found it interesting, the physical effects of my wearing high heels had on my body nearly ever provoked my curiosity to a point where I was willing to spend a lot of time seeking an explanation. My interest has always been in the feeling that I got when wearing girls shoes, heels in particular. That is not saying that I ignored any information I ran across outlining the physical problems that excessive wearing them might generate. I was also disappointed that the study group was so small. Had it been larger and conducted over a longer period, the conclusions presented, while most probably being the same, might carry more significance.
  20. I agree with Shyheels. They are great looking and acceptable for wearing in public by a man.
  21. I had a pair that looked like those when I was 15. Wore them out and it was a sad day when I parted with them. I currently have a pair of Nine West red stiletto pumps with 4 1/2” heels that I wore to a restaurant yesterday.
  22. I guess we’re kind of fortunate because we have actual eye ln sightings from around the world on the fashion health of high heels popularity. It appears from these reports that the trend is about the same in all quadrants. While women are still wearing heels their popularity is declining. I sincerely hope that manufacturers will still offer us a good choice of styles to purchase when our need arises.

    Cali World

    One of my earliest clients, a talented auto mechanic, passed away unexpectedly last week. At the funeral last Wednesday there were only two or three women other than those in the family who were dressed up for the occasion. Other than two female family members, none of the other women were wearing heels. Several women were wearing ankle boots with low heels and several others were wearing casual clothing with crocs. It seems like dressing up for any occasion is out of fashion these days. It’s very disappointing to those of us that appreciate viewing well dressed beautiful women.
  24. I was thinking more or less about position of the ankles shown in the pictures rather then the affect that any uneven or damaged surface might cause. I have also noticed that the natural construction of the human leg causes the feet to cup slightly from the inside towards the outside of each other, tilting slightly towards the center to a point where when the heel is placed on the ground, the ankle is bent slightly towards the outside creating an impression that the heel is more to the inside than in the center of the foot. It appears that the higher the heel, the more noticeable the illusion.
