I might go to a heel meet when i can get up the confidence and actually walk in heels properly then i will go untill then i will have to watch from the side lines. J

Whenever advertising our Heel-Meets (see "Real Life Meetings" Forum), we always say "Heels not compulsory". At the last two or three meetings we had one or two guys in flats or trainers. Also, even if you do come in heels, it doesn't always have to be teetering up in 5" stillettos (even though that's what I'll be doing!). Some of the guys come in lowish block or wedge heels, especially as its a whole day of shopping. socialising etc. The main thing is just to turn up! Cheerfully yours, Heelfan

Gene: my comment was ment to be along the lines of JeffB's "Yes! I'm happy to be alive and well!"

Sorry for any confusion

No worries - I really need to take my own advice and take less offense!

Well said, both Firefox and Heelfan!

So, if shaving your legs is "girly" why is shaving your face or neck not girly as well? Basically your sis hasn't got a logical platform to stand on, whynotheels. She could choose to blindly follow majority behaviour or think round it for herself. It's her choice I suppose.

If you're casual talking about it others will be too.

Good advice. However, you've got to choose your openings carefully because some people are just so darn hard headed, closed minded and set in their ways that no matter what you say they're still going to think there's something wrong with you and respond accordingly!

Agreed. While not particularly hairy myself, the reason both men and women remove unwanted hair has to do with how they perceive themselves and the way they want to look. Who cares if it's a bikini wax, a shave, or even electrolysis? If you have hair you'd rather not display on your body, then get rid of it! Although we certainly don't want to mess with the body's hormones, I personally wish there were something we could take that would prevent hair cells from reacting to the body's hormones. Few men today like wearing a beard, and most would just as soon not have grown thick facial hair to begin with. As for leg-shaving, if you're wearing something that looks better with smooth legs, then go for it!

Hello again; I agree with a lot that has been said on this subject. It seems to me that ones sexuality ie: straight/gay/whatever is invisible. It is in ones psyche and has nothing to do with the external appearance of the person. I have to admit that I was teasing slightly about shaving from the knees down. I shave all over every few days which is quite high maintenance! But no-one who doesn't know of my 'little hobby' has seemed to have noticed. Not the plucked eyebrows, hairless arms etc. I really think that most people are so wrapped-up in their own concerns that they don't notice these details. Even if they do, they don't seem to care. When shopping in women's clothes shops I've never had a problem, and when I had to strip off at the doctor's recently the nurse didn't see the manly, hairy torso she expected. 'You don't have any body hair. Do you shave it off? Why do men do that these days?' My reply was 'It doesn't look nice with a dress.' She went on with some chat and wasn't at all perturbed. Problem? What problem? I don't hurt anyone, myself included. I just do what I feel. Oh, yes, and have fun too! For those who are not trannies I'd just like to add that so many times when I've been 'read' the blokes have said ' you've got more guts than me, mate' or something similar. Now, what are they really trying to say? Heigh ho, Avril xx
