shyguy

Did nobody get the pun in my last post?

Gene is right about pushing slowly. That's how it worked with my wife, from no way not ever to her saying "how would you like to wear these womens shoes out today?" and now I even got her saying she'd like me to be able to try some shoes on in the shop (she liked some boots we saw and I often break the shoes in for her as they are tight across her feet) and she wanted me to try them first before buying.

ill

to coin a much used phrase eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwww grooossssss The first ones seem to be the unpleasant offspring created when some doctor martins were left in the closet with some jesus creeper sandals. Second ones are nearly as awful too. HF how do you find these "shoes" (for want of a better description of these abominations) do you type ugly shoes in a google search box?

Excellent, a great fathers day for you then

looking good, the airheads won't know what hit em. But be prepared for "eeeeeeewwwwwwws" and "like whateva"

And here was me thinking it was just a great song. A friend of mine suggested that it was the ultimate wake up alarm song with it's gentle start and slow build up to full on rock.

Don't sit on the fence now HF just tell us how you feel about kitten heels one way or the other

Well I've never met anyone who claimed to be an experienced footwiper. I wonder what qualifications you'd need to get started. Maybe it leads on to being a head wiper for a surgeon but you'd be starting at the very bottom and working up??

Maybe the job will become redundant when everyone has one of these http://www.gladstone-engineering.com/g151%20foot%20wiping%20machine.htm

I have tried Linux a few times and only once got it working. I am going to be trying it again soon though as things are getting better with it and with winex even games for directx are playable on Linux, as well as many games having a linux port available (Unreal Tournament 2004 for one). Richie, you're right about home build pcs, a little research can save a lot of trouble in the long run. i have built my last 4 pc's and found out that lesson the hardest way. Nigel, remember different OS's will work better for different things. Think carefully what you are going to be doing, look it up and then make a decision.

sorry, I'm in the same boat, way way overweight. But just bought a bicycle to try to pedal some off. Maybe we can both report any losses or gains

it was the the pair of shoes that started this thread off which I wore today, very stealthy but good confidence boost for me and mrs shyguy.

heels

OK today was the day, and it's done. Went out around the diy superstore in womens shoes. No comments no one noticed. All good fun and exciting. And my wife reminded me about wearing the shoes, which was nice.

maybe

I like the first pair most of the 3 pairs. And kittens can be just as sexy as higher heels in the right circumstances

let the manufacturers know we found the one who bought *that* pair of shoes.

Thanks Dawn and Emery for your comments. It was, as stated, a bit of me wimping(although I do know they wouldn't notice a womens shoes, especially with the longer jeans I was wearing) and a little of my wifes reluctance, she says "it's up to you" when she means do what you want, but she isn't completely happy with it. We have talked some more about it, and the supermarket trip looks like it will be a go.

Wow Gene, what a great insight you give into your shoes. Now my turn, I have 2 pairs of womens shoes now, 1 pair has low heels but higher than most mens shoes (see "a short wearing story" thread for pics), 1 pair slightly higher but still only 2 1/2" or so slides (no pics yet). As wife is coming around to the idea hopefully this will change in the future

An admission of failure on my part today. We were going out for a meal, and I put on the shoes from the first post of this thread. Well after some discussion my wife readily agreed I could wear them. Although very stealthy womens shoes, I chickened out. Partly because mrs shyguy although agreeable had some doubts she hadn't expressed, partly my own fears. Have agreed that I will go to Tesco (supermarket) shopping with my wife and wear them there next week, so we'll see then.
