Another thread about men in high heels.

[Shafted]

My original post has now been bumped up to the 3rd most raved (thumbs up) post. I have also changed more negative thinking minds with my frequent post. It gives me more hope that mankind does have the abilty to judge a person by the person and not what they are wearing. I know many of you are doubtful and with probably good reason. Please understand the structure of this forum, many of the posters react to the original article and respond to it without reading the comments. If you read the original post and follow-ups, you will come to realize people may seem harsh at first but if you keep following this thread people can change their minds if they realize you are the genuine artcle. It really is up to us. Many of the people who voted no initally have changed their minds about guys wearing high heels. Some of these people have PM'd me with their change of heart but I choose to resperct their privacy and not post their PMs here.

Well I have been bumped up to the third most raved about post. I looks like I am really changing people opinions of guys who wear high heels. I have been befriended by some on that forum including one of the moderators. I know that many may be doubtful, but it is really happening. Never look a gift horse in the mouth. Strange saying but it seems to apply. My experience on this forum has shown me that people have the capacity to change if they realize you're not out to threaten them. It's a lesson in hope for humanity. It may not be an acceptance with fanfare as many would love, but it is acceptance none the less.

Thanks kneehighs, I'll look into twitter.

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! You'll never change certain troglodytes, but by replying dispassionately and asking people to explain themselves you've got the ear of a lot of persons who to start with showed a predictable knee-jerk reaction. I like the way you reason it out from a personal point of view, citing comfort for your particular feet and the cure of backache, as well as your fashion preference. There's no reasonable 'you must be gay/perverted/masochistic/narcissistic/transsexual' argument against what you say. I can sympathise with the backache problem. I have no chronic back pain, but if I do a lot of standing or walking around in flat shoes, my back hurts. If I wear heels, my posture changes and I don't get backache. BTW, the expression you were searching for is 'self-conscious.' <fx: dodges flying stiletto!>

[Shafted]

Thanks and no I won't throw a stiletto at you. I'd be afraid I wouldn't get it back. When a forum question is posed on general opinion forums about men wearing high heels this is the perfect opportunity to actually introduce them to guys who wear them. I think I mentioned the following in that forum. I would rather people judge the realty of men who wear high heels rather than their own preconcieved ideas. I would love to see how the voting would go there in the aftermath of Foxyheels and myself.

[Shafted]

Things are getting even better.

[Shafted]

And the world now says yes to men in heels.

[Shafted]

And the yes votes are sweeping even more territory.

[Shafted]

Michigan has turned blue. Guys, attitudes are changing towards us. While there will always be idiots in this world, I think this shows as well as recent media coverage that people will/are warming up to the idea.

[Shafted]

We just grapped another percentage point all!

[Shafted]

Another percentage point gained. Only 100 votes separate the yeys and neys.

[Shafted]

Colorado moves from No to split.

[Shafted]

[Foxyheels]

So close now to being the majority vote, pretty amazing considering the initial scores.

Just goes to show, just the influence of a few of us has made a difference. People are realizing we're the real deal.

[Shafted]

Another percentage point gained. Only 41 votes out of 1515 separates the yays from the nays.

It's going to be very interesting to see where this poll ultimately leads.

[Heelster]

This is an interesting poll although I have to wonder how realistic the results are nationally. I personally have never heard of Sodahead before so I'm likely to question the results. Correct me if this is a false impression. Now where we could get a broader section of the public on something like a GMA or CNN poll, I'd be a bit more likely to believe the results. Hey - - don't get me wrong. If Sodahead is pretty consistent with the other polls out there, then this is great news. I'm all for it.

[Shafted]

West Virginia goes from No to split. Only 23 votes out of 1543 separate the yays from the nays.

I truly believe most guys, gay or straight, have a secret desire to wear some feminine gear, especially sexy heels/boots....The LOUDEST critics are usually the most frustrated that don't have the guts to accept/explore their desires....
