chip7X Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I was talking to a woman I work with who sometimes wear heels. I told her about this site. She was kinda supprised to find an online message board where men and women spend time disgussing topics centered around high heels. Before this there was Jennys board which been around for more than 3 yrs. So do you guys think you'll get sick of talking about heels or maybe run out of topics.

hhpumps Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 i don't think anybody using this forum will get tired of discussing high heels or running out of topics dealing with high heels. it's just fun. patent leather and classic high heel pumps area.

Firefox Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 No we won't ever get bored or run out of topics. Sometimes I go down the pub with my mates and they spend the whole evening discussing football. Everything that has happened that week, who got transferred, are Man United gong to win the premier league yet again and on and on... I'm not particularly into football, but I'm happy to make the odd comment and have a few beers. The same type of discussions take place on music as well. It's similar here. We can always discuss the latest styles, what we have bought, what we wear, what we have seen, psychology, gender issues, fashion issues, shoe alterations... the list goes on and on. I wouldn't even say it was a "fetish" as such. You wouldn't describe the people who were mad keen on football as having a "fetish". It's no more irrational to have an interest in footwear than it is to have one in 22 men chasing around a field trying to get a ball between two wooden posts! It's a hobby or an interest which people follow to varying degrees. Some come here once a day. Some come here once every three months. But so long as they enjoy it, I think it's cool.

IHeels Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Totally agree, what more can I say. For someone who owns about 50 - 60 pairs of heels with a minumum height of 4 inches and only owns two pairs of flats, one pair of training shoes for gym and one pair of cleated cycling shoes for my bike the site is wonderful. It allows me to share my passion for shoes, fashion and have a bit of fun. Inga HEELS are POWER the HIGHER the BETTER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben(Canada) Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi Chip and everyone else You asked, "How long can we keep this up"? Personally I would have liked to see this site be a fashion site. Then we could have talked about all kinds of fashion. In the past I have belonged to all kinds of clubs and associations. Most people in the bicycle club only bicycle, not much else, the people in the Computer Aided Design association think about this most of the time, and those in the mountaineering clubs dedicate their life mostly to this. Very focused people in mostly one subject. They build up good friendships in their specialized groups. I have thousands of interests and find I keep jumping from specialized group to specialized group. I lose out because I don't get to know people in the groups very well. I don't understand why the world likes to focus so much. Ben The world is like one big orchard. There are so many kinds of fruit. It is hard for me to decide what fruit to eat next. On the other hand I like the routine of eating the fruit at breakfast, lunch, and supper. I also like hanging out with the same gang in the orchard. Go figure. <font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Ben(Canada) on 2002-02-21 19:06 ]</font> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debbie(HK) Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Well Jenny's site has been going for many years and our regulars are still here so I figure that we can still keep it up. You are welcome to talk about fashion here too Ben. Debbie This is a platform free shoe zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chip7X Posted February 23, 2002 Author Share Posted February 23, 2002 Just thinking! I work with this guy who can diguss football and basketball for hours and hours nonstop! To me it gets boring after a while. I'm not crazy about sports but enjoy talking about movies. There are people who have other obsessions. I have a fetish for high heels. I guess its also a passion. I can listen to ladies talk about heels. I can bring up conversations that center around high heels and wearing them. Now some guys that have a passion for sports may think of me as being odd or boring coz I don't share the same passion. However, I wouldn't think of them as being odd for having that passion. On the flip-side I would be though of as being odd or weird for having a high heel passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefox Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Exactly what I was saying Chip, with regard to the football versus shoes thing. Personally, I can listen to girls or guys talking about heels and different shoe fashions and be equally as fascinated. Since I am completely heterosexual, this shows to me that this aspect of my interest has nothing to do with sex or fetish. It's the same as stamp collecting, cooking, or wine tasting. Of course, others approach the shoe thing from another angle entirely, so it's a good idea to have the forums and thread concept where people can discuss what interests them.

Charlie Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 I've been posting on various high heel boards for well over a year now. I feel closer to many of the people who post here than to many I deal directly with on a daily basis. What I like best about this and other high heel forums is the fact that you are the only people I know of that I can discuss my passion for wearing high heeled shoes/boots with. Thank you all! Above all, thanks to Firefox and Jenny for making this all possible!! Charlie Everything I say is a lie!.......I'm lying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolyn Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Message boards like this go on for ever, and this one is well run too. I don't think there will be any shortage of contributions. ~Caz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurieheels Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 This message board will not die out, too many of us are interested in posting useful messages AND trying to get our message count to a level that offers better footwear! The game makes the site well run, and we all wish to have nice shoes on our feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockQueen Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I agree! The game of getting the better heels is part of the fun, as well as the comraderie found here. I'm glad to have made the friends I have here, and I look forward to hearing from you someday. SQ cybershockqueen@juno.com SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!

Laurieheels Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 Of course, and I must be jealous, Inga, you have boots with a HEEL, I have some heavy piece of wood under foot. Or something. So It is an all out attempt to pile up the posts and make it to your nice boots. Maybe I can be there before you head off to the sandals that follow? We shall see.

ShockQueen Posted February 28, 2002 Share Posted February 28, 2002 I'm hoping to make it to my Kitten Heels soon, so I can ditch those cowboy boots that remind me too much of where I grew up (closed-minded state anyway!).

Laurieheels Posted March 2, 2002 Share Posted March 2, 2002 Closed minded coqboy boot loving place. You know, Shockqueen, if you had not mentioned State, I might think you lived in Alberta somewhere. Not in Calgary, but maybe outside somewhere, in a town where Reform party stormtroopers think changing their name can save them. DIfferent countries still have similar experiences, and with cowboy boots, at that! I miss my kitten heels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurieheels Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Forever is a relative term, Debbie. I will admit, we can last a very long time, and we will leave the length of that time undefined. What if one day, twenty years from now, the internet is obsolete? What if the next incarnation of information sharing is something so radical that this board cannot fit into it? That's not likely, is it. Not in twenty years, anyway. Okay, forever, yes Debbie, you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nata Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 High Heels especially stiletto heels will never fade away because there are people like us who will make it a point to be seen by others wearing it. The same goes for the discussion. It will never fade away, right ? Laurie and Debbie, you agree ??? Cheers, Nata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurieheels Posted March 22, 2002 Share Posted March 22, 2002 You are right, Nata. So long as some of us are wearing stiletto heels and getting people to notice, they will never go out of style in that sense, and there will always be something to talk about here, if only because some of us are out there in heels, making the difference. Of course, there are many reasons to discuss things, so fading out will never happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nata Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 There are always things happening around us and if it involves heels... we hae a new topic to discuss and share. Cheers, Nata Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted March 26, 2002 Share Posted March 26, 2002 For sure I can sit down and talk with my girlfriends hours and hours about clothes. Then why don't shoe espicially high heels? Something off-topic 'Why is Jenny's Survey Board have been out for about 2 years or so now?' Is there anyway to continue to have a survey since now we have 266 members on our board.

JeffB Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Even though I'm a guy, I can talk shoes with my female co-workers as easily as I can sports with male colleagues. In fact, I often amaze the ladies with how comfortable I am talking about high heels, what I like, colors, styles, places to shop, the whole nine yards. All in all, it's a great deal of fun! I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurieheels Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Lets' face it, Inga, we're all obsessed with fashion, even if it is not with the trends. I know it is a stereotype, but it is so much fun! I know women who hate to shop, but I love it, especially when I have money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
