Maybe if more men actually do BANG then it will be mainstream for men to have fashion freedom.

I'd rather see ten of us out there simply doing our thing than one of us just banging the gong. Given the fact that perhaps 1/100, if not 1/1000 actually do vs speak out, I think it would be nice if we simply did, rather than speak out.

Imagine what would happen if all of us simply decided to wear heels from this point and time, onward? Despite hhplace's reputation, I dare say it represents but a small minority of male heelers out there. Most of the male heelers I've met have never heard of it.

My opinion is that anything taller than a male-oriented cowboy boot heel would qualify as street-heeling. Heck, I have a pair of 2" block heels that no one would bat a sideways glance at, but when I'm wearing them, they're heels. Just returned from the gas station in 3.75" thin-heeled boots, and they're heels, too.

Not only will it resize your pictures, but it's a mini version of Photoshop and will do a lot more. Extremely easy to use, too.

I'd definately have to say yes. In the 80s, the only way I could wear heels without being publically ridiculed was on Halloween or while attending a RHPS (Rocky Horror...). One guy on campus with longer hair wore a hair band, and he was heckled all the time. These days I have longer hair and wear a hair band and no one says a thing. About that or my heels.

I've only worn heels through the screening a couple of times (well, I had to pull them off to be x-rayed). The rest of the time I simply carry them in my bookbag. Only once did anyone ask if the bag was mine, and raised an eyebrow when I said it was. Mostly, they don't care, so long as you're not carrying stuff like batteries and shrapnel, Lol! (or worse)

It would be difficult for me to pull off looking feminine... I just wear the heels with jeans while out, and with whatever I want while at home.

Tips for trying on heels in shops? 1. Find a shop that carries heels in your size. 2. Remove you own shoes. 3. Ensure you're wearing the same socks/hose/skin in which you'll be wearing with your new heels. 4. Try on a size below and above what you would normally wear, as well as your normal size, as women's shoe sizes differ markedly between manufacturers. 5. If they hurt in any way, move on. Such pains only get worse. 6. When you find a pair with a slightly snug fit, walk around the store for a while. Give it a good ten minutes. If after that time there are no hot spots or other issues, and you like they way they look and feel, buy 'em! These are my tips for trying on heels in the stores. Who cares what other shoppers or the employees think?

I applaud your efforts! I concur with the others that you'd receive much less ridicule if you wore a heeled boot, like the 3-1/2" heeled Sudini ankle boot in my avatar. Good luck!

Mine was in 1984. Nothing to it - just weaving in and out of some cones, proper use of turn signals, including hand signals, and a written exam.

Well, Daniel, maybe he was a heel wearer himself!

Could very well have been! I'm not sure if they've ever compiled precise stats, but I'd be willing to be more than 50% of all guys have worn heels, and I mean wearing them, not just trying them on, even if they've just worn them around the house. I do know its quite common to the point of more than 90% for boys to try on their mother's, grandmother's, aunt's, or a neighbor's heels, and to do so on multiple occasions.

Kim Basinger, the first Bond Girl (Domino in Never Say Never Again) to win an Oscar.

Has there ever been any other actor or actress in the Bond flicks to win an Oscar for their role in a Bond flick?

Aside from brat and sauerkraut, I'm not too fond of German food, either!

As for British food, bangers and mashers is a favorite, as are fish and chips.

Dr. Shoe, American food is rarely represented by chains, but there are some, including Country Cooking, IHOP, Crackerbarrel, Mama's Kitchen, Village Inn, Denny's, etc. Most of the truly American resturants, though, are mom and pop shops - holes in the wall, but very good tasting food. And looking on Mapquest in central LA, I spotted dozens within a mile of wherever I looked.

I wish Nine West would carry 13's - I'd probably buy a third of their offerings!

Particularly this little Jemmia.

I think the term "skirt" is a generic term meaning any garment which "skirts one's loins." In that sense they're not the feminine skirt, but any unbifurcated garment.

I love this site because I can always Google "mugs around the world" and it's always at the top. I often share it with anyone who wonders about my wearing a sarong to, say, the movies, or to an artsy event, of which they have many here in the Springs.

Not to worry, evilscotsman, I'll never call a kilt a skirt, just as I wouldn't call a kikepa, sapeta, sulu, or a sarong a skirt.

I'm 12.5 US bare or in nylons; 13 US in socks. Similarly, 44/45 EU.

You sly devil, you...

My current gf is 5-10, so when she wears heels she's definately taller than I am. I've threatened to wear heels, too, but as I haven't yet told her of my taste in fashion, she still thinks it's a joke. Who knows? It may be a way to break it into her. I may one day show up in heels "to be at least equal in height" to her. We'll see. Baby steps. She's not too fond of my ponytail, so at this point, I think wearing heels is out of the question, as she wants "my man to be a man!" Oye, vey... I am a man. I simply prefer wearing heels. I am still a man.

Surprisingly, as a male wearer of heels, I feel a little weird when I see another male heel-wearer. (shrugs?) Don't get me wrong - I'm glad they're doing it, but it's not very commonplace (like two in the last three years) so I'm about half as surprised as your average person, though I think I take it in stride a lot better than do most.

I've stumbled a couple of times in heels, once when the heel caught on the berber carpet while walking down the stairs. Never a problem on shag, though.

Army boots?

Ha-ha.. You're too funny!

Whenever I wear skirts around the house, they're longer, as in below the knee. I sometimes wear them with my hiking boots, which are quite comfortable. If not, I'll usually have on a pair of hh sandals or boots.

I usually only wear pumps with long pants.

I've been told I have flat feet, but some of my heels appear to have zero arch support, and as a result, wearing them hurts both my heels and the ball of my foot! I am most comfortable in heels between 3.5 inches and 4.25 inches, provided they have good arch support. Most flats, regardless of arch support - no way.

I did the SAGE test. Results: Your Raw Score is 470, which indicates that overall you are Androgynous. Your appearance is Androgynous Your brain process are mostly that of an Androgynous person. You appear to socialize in a feminine manner. You believe you have mild conflicts about your gender identity You indicated you were born Male. Analysis: Male to Female Transexual in doubt about your ability to successfully transition. Interesting!

I agree - if I'm wearing heels, say to a movie, or a play, I'm wearing my best jeans (that's all I wear, lol), a decent shirt, and my best sweater. Clean-shaven, hair in place, and a few jewelry items (subtle earrings, a ring or two, best watch, a matching bracelet for the other wrist). Sport / winter jacket, as required by the weather.

I am not attracted to Uggly shoes/boots. Nor am I attracted to shoes/boots with anything more than a subtle acoutrement. I'm more of the "simple and elegant" crowd, aka like the boot in my avatar.
