I work in business and finance (and am an engineer by training) ... the more creative side is some marketing needed to build business. P

I believe there is no magical formula. Im with bubba that being 100% and honest is the best way to go. But it is also the hardest most of the time. I believe there is no magical formula. I’m with bubba that being 100% and honest is the best way to go. But it is also the hardest most of the time. I've had the chance of being in LTR with girls open (and even encouraging) to the idea of the heels. But I've also been in relationships where a no-go is. And the subject of the heels has come up (when it comes) at different points and circumstances during the relationship. To me a key point is how strong the connection to that person is. It is very valid, at least in my humble opinion, to think about trading (or minimizing) the heeling for other things worth having. This trade means having to make a conscious decision on having fewer opportunities to wear heels. If you are meeting women have you thought about trying going places where you can wear heels? Comparing how pointy or how high are your shoes vs hers is a harmless way to initiate a conversation. See some of the posts of members that use this opening line with great success! My 0.02c

Thanks for posting our adventure ... It was a great outing and we had lots of fun!! All reactions to the shoes were pretty positive from all the girls we talked to. It was a great night in NYC ... looking forward to the next one very soon. P

KN, I'm sorry to hear the sad news. You and you're family will be in my prayers. Looking forward to seeing you back in NYC. P

I do believe that, in general, society is more open. However, I think confidence increases the perception of society's openness to new fashions in general. I've had the opportunity to be in get-togethers with some members of this site in social settings whom wear heels with a LOT of confidence. This has been the differentiating factor of how society reacts and accepts (or not) a man wearing heels. my 2c ...

i agree with all the responses that is hard to narrow it down to a couple of choices ... if I had to rank ... short skirt and pants with covered heel at the top, but very closely followed by the other choices.

Greeting to all ... KH you da man!!! I do owe you a big drink and a special thank you!! I'm there, taking the redeye flight tomorrow to London ... stilettos and all! See you all soon P

I'll be there ... tough part is to figure out the outfit!! (but also the most fun) P

That is a cool outfit!! I think black tights would work well. KH ... those quotes from Channel are priceless! Hi to all ... i have been away for a while, but back again ... hope everybody is well.

I work for a company with very strict Eq Op Emp & anti-discrimination rules; but; there are "un-written" rules that are expected from people in management (or potential candidates). As an example ... our office dresscode, official policy, is biz casual. But you see most people wearing suits (M and F). When a jr analyst is about to be promoted, one of the soft things to consider is how the person takes care of the personal appearence (i.e. dress, hair, etc). Not so much the brand, style, or fashion, but that overall the image is clean and presentable. I would say ... if you're heart is into mgmt ... go fo it!!! But maybe you might have to leave the heels for outside the office. On the other hand, you are going to make plenty of money to buy lots of new shoes!!!! just my 2c ... P

My guess is that if he said those comments in an interview, chances are she knows. I'm not surprised as she appears to have a very easy-going personality. AHHH the wonderful word of E!

Tanya ... Welcome to this site. Make your self at home!!!

What a lucky guy!!! She is both astonishing and open-minded! just imagine a date with her, both wearing pumps, what a great sight!

Tanya, What a great set pof pics!!! Thanks for sharing. Looking fwd to reading more of your posts and pics! P

great pics ... moito obrigado!

All comments above are right on! I don't believe this is a problem of fashion, gender, or something like it... One often thinks the boss is the one that gets to make rules just for the heck. In this case, if something happens ... can mean a lot for both parties (Boss paying medical, work safety fines, etc) and employee (risk of not getting medical covered, losing job, not-an-easy-to-win lawsuit, etc). Our common sense is the best thing to rely upon when deciding when/where/how to heel ... like kneehighs said "there is a time and shoe for every occasion" anyway ... just my personal 2c

Hey KH ... all I can say is a big WOW! Looks like you had a great time ... great people watching and surrounded by lots of pretty girls in stilettos!! It is really great that you had a chance, thanks for sharing the pics! P

Great advice from everybody ... My $0.02 ... explore cautiously; go slow; never know what is at the other end; however .. enjoy it you might have found a pot of gold!

Congrats ... great shoes and even better GF! Hold on to both and hope you enjoy many hrs of fun wearing them. They are going to look great with a pair of 7 jeans! Pam

I share kneehighs thoughts ... and if she is a good conversationalist with a sense of humor, better. If she is wearing pointies and stilettos, best!

I don't go out as much as i'd like, not for fear, but for personal reasons. The first is that it is difficult to sneak out of my apartment, (SO does not know). The second is that I don't want to run into any clients/coleagues, and believe me ... has happen a few times!!! It is not fear of what people might say or think ... have been out a few times, and really enjoyed and had fun with it! My personal thought is that each has their own concerns and reasons to street heel or not. Act as you might feel more comfortable, challenge yourself when time is right. Just remember ... there is a lot of support in this website from people that share your passion.

WOW...that sounds like a great night!!! You're now sharing the rush of free-styling. It is all in our heads ... once you go out the first time, you realize that (a) it is not so hard, ( people don't really care (and if they do it's their problem), and © it's fun! Kudos to you ... Pam
