I can scare the air faire, but not the hotel bill. I can sleep on the floor, though... (camping gear). I used to live in LV, and you missed a couple of spots.

All told, I prefer a stillleto heel. That's usually very tiny, and very round.

When I was a child. Mom's shoes. The neighbors. It just seemed more normal to me than not wearing them. Huge contrast with society, and things are still contrasted, aren't they? @SleekHeels, Grease definately catapulted things over the top. SNJ. Nothing more needs to be said.

All the time. In fact, I keep a change pair in my backpack.

Honestly, I haven't a clue.

Probably walking up and down the stairs in the best-fitting pair of white leather pumps I ever owned. Like a stupe, in my college days, I threw them away. Very dumb move.

I did post a pic of myself in heels and a kilt from a charity walk "Walk A Mile In Her Shoes".

Sort of a sneaky way to go for a walk, but I support that cause 110%. There are a couple here in Colorado throughout the summer. I'll hit all I can.

Can't. Different worlds, and I cannot yet integrate them. Tech said "Facebook is connected to peoples friends, families and personal lives, and seemingly very few are willing to openly share with their friends/family that they "like" hhplace..." Kabingo. Not dissing hhplace. Just protecting my privacy. I love both.

More than I can dump at Goodwill! gah... More than I can wear on a daily basis, that's for sure.

Top: Just going to the movies, waiting in line for both the ticket and the popcorn. Heard a few titters, but that was all. Second: Afterwords, while walking around the mall. More titters. Third: I open carry (firearm) and have had far fewer reactions while flat-footed and exercising my Federal and State Constitutional rights than I've ever had while gunless and wearing heels.

I alway throught it was unsafe to drive whist wearing heels. What do you think.

Are you kidding?

No.

I've driven 500,000 miles in heels, with just one accident, my fault, and if the bitch hadn't cut into my my lane...

A pair of fur-lined Italian boots, with heels of aprox 3". Mom kept them in the center front closet, so they were always at ready access, and being a latch-key kid, I'd wear her boots for 45 min a day until mom and pop got home. Over the next several years, I grew through her shoes. So, I was on my own.

To anyone out there; do you like dress sandals ?

Always! I much prefer them, and wish I had weather in which I could enjoy them, always.

Maninheels you have homed in on the true reasons why women wear high heels - I can only add that we also wear heels to make ourselves feel attractive/sexy - and because men like them too. However in saying this - there is no treason on earth why a guy shouldn't wear heels to make himself feel better/sexy/attractive either.

The reasons can apply to everyone - but most certainly, girls wear heels because we can...

I think we're actually getting somewhere, here!

Ray is so far out to lunch. (grabs head with both hands)

With great difficulty. I am in the process of moving and I have to organise a lorry just for my shoes. I am not joking!

As I gave earlier, if I've not worn it in the last year, it's gone. You may not agree with me here, but life is. Times change.

1 - Yes.

6 - Absolutely.

10 - Of course they do..!!!!

I'm interested into how your opinions translate into the heel-wearing portion of our group who happen to be males..

Anyway, not surprisingly I gave her the job - and a glowing reference not long after when it became clear that she really wasn't up to the job!

FAIL. I'd hire the homliest person on the planet if they could meet the job requirements while doing everything I could to help them, if they so wanted, into our society.

On the other hand, if I ever discovered anyone scarfing jobs through this program, I'd hand over 12-D surveillance data to multiple agencies and let the bastard child on the out and out remain on the out and out. Let's see to whom he slides the program...

I've also gone to the firing range in heels so I know it's tougher to brace against recoil in heels, but possible

JimC, I've been on so many firing ranges, military, civilian, civilian patrol, law enforcement augmentee, qualifying expert on each and every one, 100%, since 1989, via multiple weapons systems including M-8, M-9, M-16 (those are just the handgun quals) that I have to question your report.

If/When-ever the SHTF, the first footwear I'm shoving my foot into are NOT heels. Any female I've ever known worth half her weight in salt would agree - "Heels are for city streets."

I've climbed several 14-ers, as have thousands of others. Name one that has been climbed by anyone in heels.!

jenniferhouston1, you've only the rest of your possibly 70-year life ahead of you. Do NOT make sacrifices of your health today which would endanger your future ability to get up and get around.

WALK. Keep walking. Walk some more! Check with any trainer, this is the only answer, long-term, for any of us.

I DID wear heels from fifth form onwards......but the boys STILL wanted to see my boobs as well!!

We gentlemen who're allured to the sensuous reality of a heel's extension of the sultry curve of one's fairer leg are thankful for further curvature in the feminine body.

Having gone through several different reasons over the years, these days I like wearing certain high heels because their both very stylish and very comfortable. If both criteria are not met, I'm right back in a pair of Merrel crocs or similar comfortable shoes.

Hello all,

I wonder if you know guys that would or allready did buy and wear, as men, items sold as "womens" ? Shoes, but also clothes, accessories, jewels, watches, hats, sneakers, etc.

Just to know. The possible answers are "yes" or "no". Simple as that.

I know the question is not directly focussed on heels, but I am sure the results will. I post a mirror poll in the "for the girls" section.

Regards

Well, gee... Let's see...

I have a pair of women's jeans. They fit better than men's jeans when I'm below 175, but as I'm currently well above 200, they're a no-go.

I wear a Timex Triathelon watch that's made for a woman. When people ask me why I wear "such a small watch," I tell them "it saves weight, and I don't have to worry about it getting caught on things."

None of the earrings I wear are made for men. All were made for women. I simply found some earrings made for women that look good on me as a man. I've got lots of dangles (I prefer them) although I've worn very few in public. I have worn dangles in public, though.

I own and wear several women's bracelets and necklaces in public. Again, it's usually a matter of style and choice. I won't wear a dainty 16" necklace, as it would look like I was being strangled by spidersilk. But I've a terrific three-tiered snake-chain necklace that looks as good on me with a split-neck sweater as it does on any woman.

that wont be a problem, we often bite each other!!

The first and last time I bit my ex-wife was while waking out of a terrible dream! It was in those nether regions between sleep and awake, and I was fighting this terrible person. It was him or me, and he was trying to kill me. He'd wrestled me to the ground, and we were locked in a grapple of immense proportions. Suddenly, his shoulder was right there, and in desparation, I bit down, as hard as I possibly could!

Fortunately, there's something in our brains which (mostly) blocks the thoughts we have in our dreams from actions we take in the real world. My bite on her shoulder woke her up, and hurt, but didn't even break her skin. In my dream, I'd taken out a sizeable chunk of my attacker's shoulder when my ex screamed, waking me from that nightmare.

As for her acceptance of my wearing heels, no way. In fact, it was a key factor in her decision to give me the deep six. I don't know if it was simply too much baggage in her past, too much ultra-religious right-wing indoctrination, or what. Interestingly, I'm both religious and more right than left. What gives? (shrugs) I thought we were at least in the same booklet of music, if not the same sheet, when I asked her to marry me. I guess not.

Since the divorce, I've dated three other gals. About the time I get comfortable telling them about the fact that what they seem to like about me most (kind, caring, understanding, totally able to converse with them for hours, etc.) has an ancilliary side, that I enjoy wearing heels, they have invariably dropped significant pre-emptive hints that I'd better not cross the line by wearing heels.

I'm thinking, "What guy in the world did they know who wears heels?"

My next thought is usually, "probably one of the many guys out there who have not yet found this board."

Spread the word. Let's get these divorce/separation numbers down. Misunderstandings are a bitch!

My wife asked me quite out of the blue last night why I loved shopping for shoes and looking at shoes (For both me and her) and would spend ages in a shoe store and yet I loathed shopping with her and spent about 2 minutes max in clothes shops.

"You dont really care about fashion etc.. only where shoes are concerned, I want you to spend more time shopping for what I want."

I can be in, selected and bought in five minutes where as she takes forever and I have gone to the nearest pub.

Anyone else the same??

Yes and no. The roads were icy/slick, yesterday, and my mom had an appointment in the morning, and in the afternoon she wanted to "grab some things at the mall," so I offered to cart her around.

The 10:30 appointment resulted in a "quick mall trip" that lasted four hours. It took me 30 minutes to survey every clothing item in JC Penny's, picking out a couple of shirts for myself, one for my son, and a pair of slacks. Hell, I even had time to breeze through the women's line of clothing to see if there was anything I could cross-wear (several items - I'll have to go back).

Then I went to the Piercing Pagoda, where I spotted some earrings similar to my current favorites, and I'll have to go back for those, too.

Along the way, I recalled something a well-known and very savvy psychiatrist said long ago: "Women shop. Men hunt. It was set in our genes long ago during the 200,000 years of our hunter-gatherer stage, where the men mostly hunted and the women mostly gathered. That's just the way we are. There are overlaps. Some women fit the male profile, while some men fit the female profile. Regardless, for most women and most men, this is it, folks, so viva la difference! Understanding the differences is key to accepting the differences."

If I were to gather anything from this, it would be this: If you're a guy who prefers wearing heels and is wondering about your psyche, whether you're more feminine vs more masculine, go on a shopping trip with one or two women who are truly interested in shopping (and have a budget to support their habit). If you finish before them, you have a guy brain. If you're bringing up the rear, your brain might just be more on the feminine side.

I watched the Superbowl with my folks and some mutual friends and neighbors. None would have approved, and as my relationships with all of them is more important than my relationship with heels, as much as I enjoy wearing the latter, I choose to watch the Superbowl while wearing a pair of Merrell cross-country hiking shoes. (sigh) I know... Perhaps one of these days a fashion trend will sweep the nation and I can walk around in heels and a skirt without raising nary an eyebrow. Wishful thinking.
