I'd love to find a shop which suited my desires, but alas, they're nonexistent, and I'm relgated to the few Payless stores and online mail orders, of which 75% simply dont fit! Gaah...

..she bought a pair in my size and said you might as well have something thats fits you. Next thing I know, It's Saturday night, and I'm wearing my own first pair of heels bought for me by my GF. But still in the privacy of indoors.

Regardless, apparently she approves!

Guys, I met the girl that night for the first time. There never was 5 days in the hotel room. I just said that to flirt with the girl, keep her excited, and drive away the other guy (by giving him a response he probably didn't expect).

Reminds me of the line I laid on my fiancee', sight unseen, when I "rescued" her from a bar jerk. At the time I thought she was very cute, and the guy was being a jerk, so I came to her "rescue." I didn't know at the time she was really looking for an out. She wound up being a good friend for a few years. Still is, I suspect, based on a couple of phone conversations over the years.

Oh, by the way, the line was, "There you are! I've been looking for you all night long! Let's adjourn to the bar for now, but we'll be ordering dinner soon..."

I only did it because she was in visible distress, and she later thanked me for "rescuing me from that jerk."

So, guys, if you intentions are honorable, it pays to be chivalrous.

I think I responded to this poll before, but as time passes... Heels, period. It's not about the look, for me. It's simply about the elevation.

...i believe that the best couseling somebody can have is not with a guy that prepared to give you the human behavior and natural function on our brain, it is actually with the patients and people that live thru the behavior or need to use heels/cd in our case.

I concur. The best counseling I've received (or given) on this issue has usually involved someone who'se "been there; done that."

...live with it and know how to even enjoy it, plan your activity moments and if it is secret because of many personal circumstances there is nothing wrong with that, everybody has privacy in this life right? so just be and let it be.

Very well said.

...heeling or the affection of wearing heels is a happy thing and is a exciting activity...purely selfish and erotic, ....heeler cant share the feeling but can talk about it, while non-heelers may stay on their undiscovered world happy as well.

Lol, I'm tickled over the way you put that, but yes. As a guy whose known quite a few guys over the years, I can honestly state that perhaps upwards of a quarter of us would like to wear heels, if we had "the opportunity to do so."

By the last, I mean the general social acceptence of guys in heels.

It's not here yet, but we're making progress! Best way to help - simply get out there and continue street-heeling. Be yourselves. Do whatever it is that you do the best you can do!

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.
