Guy N. Heels

Well, so far the numbers are holding pretty close to the 3.5" mark (actually about 3.55", so I guess we'll have to add an extra lift to the shoes ) and this does take into account 2 votes for 5" heels. (I can only assume that those guys buy work boots with 4.5" heels as "ordinary boots". Still, if nobody wants to weigh-in before the poll closes, I'll reckon that the minimum height for a high heel is 3.5 inches.

Hi Wolfie, Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to ya. But I hope those sites I directed you to have helped. One other one I should have mentioned is Overstock.com. They seem to buy in batches and seldom have the larger sizes we guys are looking for. But they often have some good looking women's shoes, as well as clothing, at reasonable prices. From the selections you posted, you seem to like the chunky heels and rounded toes. A little retro, but that's okay.

Yeah, what I wus thinking is that you 2 are wearing similar styles of - say shirts. Well if the main body of one shirt is say a light blue with different colored pockets, you could make the body of the other shirt the color of the first shirt's pockets and have light blue pockets. That kind of thing.

lol...I tried to post pictures of my pumps before but couldn't get them to post. I took a few pictures of my new wedgies but I couldn't get a good picture because they are black and they just seem to blend in with everything.

Maybe you can find a catalog on the web and direct us to the pictures there.

Unfortunate, but all too true; after marriage so many quit doing the things that attracted their mates in the first place. Somewhere they seem to forget that the marriage is to be LIVED together.

Welcome, and by all means post some of those pix for us.

Could be related to the heel height. One must remember that heels change you entire body geometry from head to foot.

A 1 inch jump in heel height is just about guaranteed to give you a whole new experience in walking. Knee problems can arise from any heel height, but the higher, the more certain you'll have 'em. Ditto for twinges in the lower back (sacrolilliac). As you go up in altitude you can expect new sensations in the shoulders and neck with headaches not being uncommon (if yer SO is complaining of a headache they might not be lying).

But the clincher is the amount you try to increase the heel height at any one time. If yer used to 3" heels and then decide you'd like a nice long stroll in 5" ers - well, you'd better have some pain-killers handy. I would never recommend going up more than 1/2 inch at a time, and then you'll need to increase the amount of time yer on the higher heels in small increments - about 15 minutes at a time. One thing is for certain - when you start getting any of the above pains that do not go away, you have reached the absolute limit of heel height your body will tolerate.

Try adjusting the contrast and brightness of your monitor, as I can see them just fine.

Hey thanx, Shafted; I neva thought of that! Now lessee here, is that the control in the metal cage in the back that's marked "HIGH VOLTAGE Do Not Touch"? Or did you want me to do sumptin with that funny-looking glass thing that has a glow inside? Oh, did I mention this goofy lookin red wire that looks like an ignition wire to my car? Maybe you'd like me to do sumptin with that? BTW - What do they mean by 20KV?

Makes perfect sense to me. You two can wear matching outfits.

Now lessee here - you both like the boots, but only one person can wear 'em at any one time. Yup, makes sense to me too. Especially if you plan to wear matching outfits.

Now one thing that might look really cool - especially if one of you is handy with a sewing machine - would be to have His & Her's outfits, only reverse the colors on one outfit so as to make them highly similar but discernably different.

I think we heelers have to develop a bit of a "thick skin", to the point where we don't really give a rip about what other people think. It's called "survival".

Some people seem to think a little bit of knowledge puts them on a higher plane than the rest of us. ... Just realize who you're dealing with, learn as much as you can and maybe someday you can really enjoy passing them by.

Well, some people call that "thick skin" "BARK", like a tree. So when ya meet someone who can take a lot of needling we say, "he's got a lot of bark." Furthermore, guys that don't have a lot of bark should forget about wearing heels in public.

As for me, my heels are the only things that put me on a higher plane than anyone else.

Got it.

Yeah, we cyberfreaks have a whole shorthand language that somebody really needs to write a translation dictionary for. Some of the most frequently used ones are:

Howdy Vfl2d, Welcome to our forum. Why don't you tell us about yourself, interests, and so-on? While I know that Texas is a really big state, we actually do have some posters from the great state of Texas. My guess is probably from the Dallas/Ft.Worth area. So stay in touch, ya hear?

I've said it before and it bears repeating here:

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

I sometimes wonder how many times this scenario has occurred: a guy lets it be known to his g/f or s/o that he would love to see her wear heels, with little success. He keeps at it, then finally the g/f comes back with, "If you like them so much, why don't YOU wear them?"

Unless a woman has some medical reason for not wearing heels, most will usually try to please their man - at least to a certain extent. But if she balks then the only other thing that might work will be competition. That is to say, most women dress-up for other women. So to point out that someone (especially one she considers a rival) is wearing heels MIGHT work. Maybe.? But if it doesn't, best to back-off and save the relationship.

The snag is the emotional part of the brain works a hell of a lot quicker than the thinking part.

Well I could be wrong, but I don't think there is an emotional part of the brain. I think the emotions are just hardwired straight-in.

Hair?

What hair?

Let's just say my CPU does not suffer from overheating problems. . .

DITTO.

Many years ago, my then fiance` and I were looking for accessories for her bridal gown. After a lot of shops, she found almost exactly the right thing. The assistant beemed a smile and asked if her father (me) was paying!. That would have made me a father at 8 !!!!. I complemented her on her sales technique. and dragged the missus away to look elsewhere. A couple of other customers did well to hide the sniggers.

Try not to feel too badly. Many of my daughter's friends think I'm her grandfather.

Out of curiosity, a quick check: If I re-worded that in a sexuality-neutral way as:

"The problem, as I see it, arises when two people publicly express intimacy in a way that is normally reserved for a romantic or sexual setting. I think that most people would find such an act offensive."

... would you support that statement more than, as much as, or less than your original statement?

Not criticising, just curious.

First of all, I would like to point out that I am not a prude. I know all about sex and even had my own personal geisha when I was stationed overseas. So at the risk of sounding like a square peg in a square hole, I believe that truly intimate private matters should be be just that - private. I have seen heterosexual couples making such an obnoxious public display of themselves that I was moved to suggest that they find a room. Anything beyond a quick hug or a quick kiss starts to become obnoxious. The question that immediately springs to my mind is,"What are these people trying to prove?"

Thanks for all of the positive feedback guys. Although I admit I wouldn't expect anything less from this site. My biggest problem is the fact that I would love to wear them out more but I live in what is known as the bible belt of the US. I sure you can determine why I fear going out in them. We have more conservatism in this part of the US then the whole rest of the country. Lots of old conservative money and lots of people who would be just plain mean. I guess yall have heard all of this before site probably half of yall at least have done this for years. I'm just finally starting to accept it and act on it so.... By the way I would also like to get some of the womens reactions and advice as well but I accedentally posted the original question in the wrong place. How would i go about rectifing that without having to repost the whole thing.

Howdy HighHeelLover86, and welcome to our forum.

Now lessee here, you want to wear high heels, which men started doing 500 years ago, but yer skittish about it - huuum. You live in the so-called bible belt where people carry around bibles they never read and teen pregnancies and divorces are up but they like men's heels down, and the main reason most of 'em buy a newspaper is to find out who got caught doing what - huuum.

Well, after due consideration, I don't think there's anything wrong with you, but there may definitely be something wrong with yer society. Unless you want others to dictate how you should lead yer life you need to fire that committee called "THEY" and start being your own man.

Me, I like wine, women, song, heels, skirts, and (occasionally) earrings. When my doctor told me I needed to change the way I live, I offered to quit the singing.

My prescription for you is to not wear heels more than 2 or 3 times a week and never out in public unless you've got a big-bore weapon in easy reach. Fire that committee called "they" and don't be awed by all those bible-thumping red-necks. The shock behind all of that facade is that they're all a bunch of sinners anyway. Take a pair of 3" heels with you and call me if you have any more difficulty.

...Not sure why, but gay guys tend to pick specific areas (san fransisco, key west, etc) to live in higher percentages...

just a thought.

I think it's called: birds of a feather flock together.

Exactly!

The above process doesn’t go through rational thought – because it is outside one’s comfort zone, the process just passes through the panic part of our brains – it builds the stupid irrational thoughts and connections. BB

I think you've hit the nail squarely on the head, BB. Maybe that's where the writers got the idea for the TWILITE ZONE. Whenever we start to feel uncomfortable, instead of thinking things through, we just short-circuit all the reasoning processes and go straight to PANICSVILLE, where no rational thought ever goes unpunished.

But based upon some current news stories, I'd have to say that some of the gals have a few marbles loose, as well. (Gosh, neva thought of THAT.)

Now you know one of the main reasons why you should never eat at the office. Get out and get to know yer neighbors and co-workers!

First of all, nothing wrong with open dialog. As long as no one is calling each other name or getting hostile, I see nothing wrong with it, so please don't feel the need that you have to avoid the topic.

As far as public displays of affection, I guess seeing two people hold hands or a quick kiss isn't a bad thing (atleats for me). Of course seeing a couple making out in public isn't right and should be left to behind closed doors.

I will also admit it would bother me if I saw two guys hold hands or kiss in public. Is it fair? No. But something inside would cringe and turn away...

Their personal life is their business, not mine to judge.

I think we have a misapplication of terms here. I can think of no time when America witnessed more public displays of affection between all sexes and races than on 9/11/01. People were simply doing their best to help one another and express both concern and affection. In like manner, I would have no problem seeing two men hug or even kiss after a major airline crash, earthquake, firefight, etc. That is simply one human being reaching out to another to say,"I'm here and you are important to me."

The problem, as I see it, arises when two people of the same sex publicly express intimacy in a way that is normally reserved for a romantic or sexual setting. I think that most heterosexuals would find such an act offensive.

I know what you mean. With everything going on in our lives and with work, I don't get as much time to post as I used to, but I manage to slip a few in every once in a while.

Indeed you do! At more than 6100 posts yer averaging about 6 a day!

I know where the heels are?????

They're in the closets begging to be worn.

Those shoes were purchased in a fit of, "..these would look so good..." but fall prey to, "...I would break my neck in those..." and eventually end up on Ebay where we get to buy them as a substantial discount!!!!

Just my theory. Comments??

Also, a good percentage of 'em end up in the thrift stores, where I do a lot of shopping.

...I did read the to threats by Shaq91, and i dont see how they can help me, with my question. I not gay, I not a x dresser. I with me Girlfriend and have a kid.

On thing that does confuse me a bit is, the fetish. Im not even sure that this is a fetish for me, i just like high heels. Wearing them feels as great as i hade expected.

Actually, Shaq91 is a kind of confused teenager with much the same questions you have. But there are also many other threads relating to how to wear high heels. I've posted on quite a few so you could check out my posts.
