Officially sexually exclusive with Slovenian. It's a mutually agreed upon boundary. We have a trip together to Paris for 6 nights at the end of the month. We have a mutually agreed upon boundary we'll call ourselves a couple if things go well there. If things go well in Paris, we've mutually agreed she'll start to make plans to move in with me near April/May She's positively cool about me wearing heels, wearing gel polish on my nails (we're going to get matching red), (skirts--but I never wear skirts) and is cool with any level of gender non binary dressing. Needless to say, that's a dream come true. To express with authenticity my feminine style in my closest relationship is something I'm very grateful for. More importantly, she exhibits character traits suitable for a happy long term committment. Kindness, consideration, respect, loyalty, warmth, etc. I've had my fun. Sowed my wild oats. Some of the stories are even documented on here from back in 2005. Dated too many girls to count. Time to settle down and build something together. In pic, her legs on left, my legs on right.

Indeed I do wear OTK boots without obvious reaction. I am talking about a general principle that men do not engage in theatre when it comes to fashion. I think the reason that more men do not wear tall boots is that this bias against theatre has become ingrained into the thinking.

I figured it must have been compliments. Those are very nice boots - just the kind that really ought to be broadly accepted by all. They are very similar to a brown pair I have - mine are slightly higher, only just below the knee, but with a similar jaunty heel. I really love them. Very wearable everywhere

Just a small sample of the heels i wore during super bowl.

Thanks! I do think this is it.

Congratulations! Sounds like “a keeper”!

A fairly good definition I’d say

There's 12 emotional archetypes created by Carl Jung. Studies by Young and Rubicam indicate companies who revolve their marketing message around just one archetype outperform other companies with mixed archetype messages. Nike's "Just Do It" evokes the Hero Archetype, for example. The same holds true for movies. Titanic also evokes the Hero Archetype as does Star Wars (good vs bad). I asked Chat GPT which archetype would most apply to men who wear heels. It's answer was quite reasonable. It even left room for individual answers too.

Great looking, fit your legs nicely, and easy to walk in, winning combination for sure.

An 'undecorated' boot, of any style up to knee-high, is essentially an item of practical weatherproof/protective footwear, even if worn as a fashion choice, and therefore intrinsically 'male' in its origins and impact. But, if it has anything beyond a flattish or fairly low cuban/cowboy heel, it ceases to hide behind that facade. A 'court' shoe (pump), although historically male wear, is in its modern-day iteration wholly female footwear, regardless of the height or style of heel. It follows that a man wearing (long) boots, with or without modest heels and even if outside his trousers, is unlikely to register much on the CD/eccentric/fetish scales - but a man wearing even the plainest kitten-heeled pump in plain view will set the bells ringing and the tongues wagging. The saddest thing, however, is that almost any woman can wear any of those things with anonymity and impunity - as long as she doesn't fall over.

How about the guy that wears knee high stilettos in the summer with short shorts? What is bold somewhere might be normal in other places. And what someone thinks is bold might be old hat to others. Walking in pumps in a mall and walking in pumps at work are very different. One place is with strangers, the other is with people that know you and see you everyday. I shopped in a large and busy shopping mall in wedges (4 inch) and compression/performance leggings the other day. I felt tht was bold. And I got many second, third, fourth looks. For now, walking in 4 inch heels is bold.

Thanks, typo. Compliments. I have these in black as well. Couldn't pull the trigger on the red ones.

Maybe I should have a work and Boots thread ... 😄 Have only worn boots to work this month. I'm running out of different boots. Must buy more ... lol Worn these last week to work got two compliments, one from a woman, one from a man. These are my easy to wear Ompo Owney, only a 3.75 inch net (9.6 cm). Man made material. I got these blue one to channel my inner Elvis. Had to stop by a very large shopping mall Friday around 5 pm. I had compression legging and and my OLD wedges-mules. Maybe it was because many people where shopping for Valentine's Day or on dates, but I saw many women in 3 + inch heels. A good sign.

Yah I'd buy many more if I could get that price. I guess their about the same.
