Good Responses From Women: The Ultimate Resource

[Jimnj3]

Fashionablefun, I too, find this story very interesting. I also wonder where abouts you are located that this was so greatly accepted. It must be nice to be able to pick shoes right off the shelf. Not much available in my US womens 13.. Keep your eye out on the next sale at Nine West..Sounds like a great store to shop.. Jim

What was the name and style number of your new boots, Fashionablefun?

Here's another positive comment from euhansoo999 in the Men Wearing Heels thread at TheFasionSpot.com forum.

last year i saw a SA in banana republic... he was wearing heels. not cowboy heels, but heels that were made for women. he was dressed extremely well - i doubt that anyone could pull it off, but for him, it worked pretty nicely. and the heels were perfectly complementing his outfit. aesthetically it looked perfectly OK, but i couldnt stop staring at himi guess it was weird for me bc ive never seen guys wearing heels. but he looked good in them so thats all it matters

I think she makes some positive comments as well as some insightful remarks. First, the Store Assistant (SA) was ,"dressed extremely well", "for him it worked pretty nicely," and "the heels were perfectly complimenting his outfit," AND, "aesthetically it looked perfectly OK." Through repetition she emphasizes a point that's previously been made on our forum: when our heels compliment and enhance the rest of our outfit, they will indeed look good.

Second, she couldn't stop staring at him. People are not used to seeing a man in women's high heels. When they do, their brain short circuits. People just aren't pre-programmed to respond nonchalantly to a man in heels. Modern society as a "master programmer" surely doesn't program people to comprehend a man in heels. Euhansoo is no exception. When she kept staring it wasn't because she had a negative opinion of a man in heels, she was just loading the drivers for her new device. And the same thing very often happens when we pass strangers on the street. That second look a stranger may take of you may not be negative, they might just be re-booting their computer.

I agree with Kneehighs on the importance of being dressed well with heels that compliment the entire outfit. I wore my Nine West blood red leather boots (actual color name: City Red, model name: Alejoo) while shopping a few days ago at a small men’s and women’s boutique clothing store. I was trying on pair of dark, low-rise, boot cut women’s jeans. I was wearing a red sweater with a white shirt; both very fashionably styled. The female store assistant had helped me find the correct size jeans and suggested alternates I might like. I walked out of the dressing room with the jeans on, heels clicking all the way, to ask the female sales clerk a question. Sometimes what is not said is just as revealing. She looked down at my feet and commented that the jeans were a "perfect length" (which they were). Of course, what she meant was that the jeans were a perfect length for a guy wearing pointy-toed, red boots with 4" heels. (I didn’t end up buying the jeans, though I liked them a lot. They were a $190. A little too steep at this time of year.) The point, is that with complimentary, fashion-forward attire, the heels project an image of progressive fashion, not feminine fashion and are well accepted. I live in a medium-size city in the Western United States. I don’t think my fashion choices are any more, or less accepted here, than anywhere else. I think it’s more a matter of confidence and fashionable style.

Bigtime!

But I searched everywhere, including 9 West's website, and I can't find any reference to any Alejoo or Alejo item. Are you sure the spelling is correct?

[crotchboots-m]

i have generally had more positive responses from the fairer sex than negative. i have picked up 4 different women over the last 10 yrs while wearing. i see one of them on regular basis in my fetish leather and boots.

[kneehighs]

Here is a quote from GlitterBabe in the thread How about heels on men from the forum at http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/board/index.php

Cute! I can see a look with dress pants. I say express yourself hun.

Short and to the point.

Kneehighs:-) A very appropriate quote. Cheers--- Dawn HH

That's a fantastic story. I love it when I'm wearing sexier items than the women I see. Having pointier toes and higher heels must have been a real turn-on. One of my great joys is looking at women's feetand what they're wearing and then realizing that what I'm wearing is sexier than theirs. I call it "outbitching." HIGH HEELS DENOTE POWER AND SUPERIORITY! WEAR THEM WITH PRIDE AND CONVICTIION!

I tried on a pair of knee length patent zip-up boots the other day. I have bought shoes from the store before, and am known by most of the staff. They sell everything from ordinary shoes, sandals, boots, to high heel courts and boots, J-Lo boots, right through to "stripper shoes" with perspex heels and platforms, and very high platform stiletto boots. Most of their stuff is branded "Stiletto", "Miss X", "Spot On", "Pure", "Anne Michelle", and many others. I already have a pair of their platform "stiletto" sandals from several years ago. These zip-up knee boots were in their sale, and I was intrigued by the 6 inch+ heel and 2 inch, or so, platform. These were not for wearing outside. The whole boot, heel, and platform, were in very shiny black patent. I went to try them on in a quiet corner of the shop. I had waited a few moments for several other shoppers to clear the area first. I got one boot on, zipped it up and dropped the trouser leg back over it; then got the other one on and had the zipper done up about half way when I spotted a lady who had been going the other way up the far aisle suddenly just a few feet away in the next aisle and about to round the corner on me. I almost panicked, then clocked the expression on her face. She was definately coming over to check on what I was doing, and I feared the worst. She rounded the corner, and stopped. Her face lit up and she said in a loud voice for the WHOLE shop to hear "Oh myyyyy God, you're soooooooooo brave. I really couldn't even stand up in those heels. They are sooooooo high." With that, another lady rounded the corner from the aisle behind, and said "Wow, those are amazing; and look at the toes, they are soooooo small. What size do you take?". I told them "6.5 or 7". The first lady said that "They were amazing, but not for her". I challenged her to grab some off the rack and give it a go. She had a quick look, then said that there were no size 6s there (heh, I was wearing them!) and started to move off. She looked at a rack further down the store, at some other lower boots, and the next time I looked round, after I had taken the boots off, she had gone. I didn't buy them, they were just a little too small. However I had already bought a similar pair, with a 0.75 inch platform and 5.5 inch heel, just a few days previously, in size 7, so no great loss.

[fashionablefun]

You're right Driver8, I checked, and the Nine West boots I bought are not on their website. I suspect it's due to the fact I purchased them at a Nine West Outlet Store and are probably a discontinued style not available at standard locations. I'll get a pix taken and posted soon.

Jo:-) That certainly is a great event that you relatd to us. Talk about being made---you really got it from all sides. Cheers--- Dawn HH

Here are some quotes I thought you might appreciate from the

Worst and Best Reactions to Guy's Public Heel-Wearing thread started by Heelfan. I've just taken the time to filter out the women's best reponses from the men's reponses both good and bad, and the women's reponses that were bad.

(apart from my super wife's continuous understanding and great support) occurred in my single days over 30 years ago when I was sitting at a table in a London coffee shop waiting for a blind date to arrive. I was beginning to think I had been too rash in wearing my supple light-brown spanish shoes with dark-brown 4.5" cuban heels, which were 100% visible to everyone due to my trouser-legs being pulled-up due to my sitting position. First, a black guy at the next table nodded down at them and said 'Yeah Man .... So Cool ........ they're all RIGHT!, and just then a cheery girl (my date) rushed over, sat down, introduced herself to me and straight-away grinned down at my shoes, saying they were 'Quite nice'. As if that wasn't enough to break the ice, she then APOLOGISED for turning-up in virtually flat shoes and said that in the circumstances she would be too short walking beside me. I immediately took the cue and offered to buy her any high heels of her choice, and after a few polite protests she allowed me to take her to a couple of shoe shops before she chose a knockout pair of yellow 4" stilettos which she proceeded to wear for the rest of the date, and several more dates afterwards. So much for me having worried about putting on my cuban heels!

the smile on the face of a woman that realized that we were wearing identical shoes and from a rock musician that complemented me on my choice of footwear.

Bubba136 link

While in line at a bank a woman in her late 40's early 50's asked me about my shoes - thong slingbacks with a 2 1/2 inch heel. She said they looked nice - never did say anything about the shoes being womens or high heels.

SF link

she casually asked me where I usually bought my shoes. I answered I had these shipped from the USA and that surprised her more than a bit. She then said she often had wondered where all the various styles she saw me in came from because she liked most of them and also asked my size. I told her 40-41 and asked if she had internet access. After she said yes I told her she could see my whole collection on line and she gave me a paper to note the URL after she heard I usually mentioned the place I purchased each style displayed. She thanked me and seemed excited to check my website as soon as she finished work. She (a 30 year old girl) waved at me when leaving and I felt a very happy man again walking back to my porch in my "unique" footwear.

highluc link

I also got some positive comments. In that bar there are some sofas/couches in a quieter corner and after some jumping around for a while we went to get a rest there. There were some ladies sitting in those sofas and the first thing one said to the others when I came to sit beside them was "hei katto.. ihanaa" which means something like "look, how great".

Bert link

The remained crowd were all smiling, looking like they could have clapped, but were refraining from doing so out of respect for the lady. I turned to the mother and thanked her, and she said, "Don't mention it. You wear those quite well, by the way. Well, I'm off. Good luck!" The others didn't say anything, but I could tell by their glances and appreciative looks they were interested in, and not put off by the fact I was wearing heels. A couple of them made eye contact, nodding approval, one said, "way to go," to which I gave a short bow of thanks.

To really appreciate Gene's post you have to read the whole context at genebujold link

I had went to this gas station with the same ankle platform boots on and little did I know that there was a classmate that I remembered all the way back from middle school. She was always nice to me. But at this time I was about 18 or 19 and I was paying for gas plus I was real nervous walking in. So I spoke to her and then she had spoke to me and then she had walked from around the register and as soon as I got ready to walk up out the door she had seen the long spike of my heel and was like (OH no you don't you know you got to come back and let me see your shoes) So I was like OH SNAP maybe this was a mistake. She asked me if I was going out to a club or something. And I was pretty much like no I just wanted to try something different. Asked me where I got them and she thought they were so cute and was just so surprised that I could walk in them. So that was a true big head trip after that.

Women I dated became enthused about my shoes and we went shoe shopping together, and in one case went out on Halloween wearing pumpkin outfits with 3" stilletto orange high heels and black tights. One gal made me try on a pair of brown 3" stilletto heeled shoes in the store in front of the whole world (maybe 2 or 3 people nearby) to see. One gal encouraged me to try on and buy a pair of low heeled flats. Without a word being said, a female coworker and I had a shoe wearing contest. I wore a different pair of women's shoes every day, so did she. I won. I have over 500 pair to choose from. Most were loafer and low heeled styles since we were in a business office. She matched me in style and taste pretty much. It was fun, and not a word said.

One year for halloween I dressed up as "The psyco B__ch Whore from Hell" in a short, short Denim mini-dress with Thigh-High soft black leather boots with a 5" heel. I also wore a fabulous rubber mask that was absolutely hideous looking. My new girlfriend at the time (we had been dating for just about 2 months at the time, and have been married for 10 years now) thought this was a perfect way for me to get dressed up and go out enfemme without too much hassle. You see, I had told her about my cross-dressing on our second date, not wanting this aspect of my personality to become an issue after investing any serious time in the relationship. Best to get it out in the open as soon as possible and move on, if neccessary. Anyway, I digress and I apologize. We went out to the local neiborhood dive bar we frequented as they have an annual Halloween costume contest. I had the time of my life. Nothing beats shooting pool in 5" stillettos and a short mini-dress. As the evening wore on, one of our friends asked me about my boots. She thought they were to die for and asked if she could try them on. I graciously took them off and handed them to her. It took me over an hour to get her to give them back to me. I was only able to do so after promising her that if I ever wanted to get rid of them, I would give them to her. The whole evening was a hit!!!

Georgia Marie link

maybe its not the best reaction but it was definitely favourable: i was on the main street this afternoon, wearing my 6 inch heel cupid boots, jeans which don't hide the heel, black sweater and black leather jacket. all in all i thought it looked fairly slick. i've taken to riding the public transit these days as i enjoy the kooky reactions i get from all the other riders. anyway. i was standing on the main street waiting for the bus and i didn't realize i was standing right outside a women's beauty salon. at first i thought the hairdressers were coming out to check out the fine weather or maybe have a cigarette. none of them were smoking and they came out in pairs, only for a few minutes.

the bus was late so i started wandering up and down the street a little ways out of boredom. that's when i saw two of these hairdressers standing outside their shop, both of them staring right at my heels and smiling. one of them said: those are beautiful boots. the other said: you have great balance!

1.) Some years ago I had a chat with my best friend's (now: ex-) girl friend. We talked about this and that and discussion came to clothing and stuff. Somehow I got overwhelmed and admitted my big crush for hig heels to her. 'Ooops', I thought, 'shouldn't I have...?'. But: 'So what!' she replied, 'why shouldn't you wear this? If you like it then go ahaed. I don't think that someone would actually mind...'. I was really baffled and didn't know what to say. Anyway, that gave me a lot of confidence for my passion.

2.) Two weeks and a half ago one of my co-worker discovered my heel-wearing. I've been wearing 4.75" platform boots with quite a chunky heel for some weeks now. Of course, I wear them together with boot-cut jeans so the shoes aren't too obvious. When she discovered it she doesn't noticed my shoes in the first place but she found out by 'accidentally' walking right behind me since we left the company for home the same time that day and found that I somehow walked like a women, she told me. That had her to take a closer look at my shoes: 'You're wearing such high heels...' - 'Doesn't it look right?' I asked in return. 'No, no, I was just wondering why you were walking like women do when they wear high heels!'. I asked her if some of my other colleagues noticed already. 'Probably not. Maybe only women will ever notice [short explanation: I work in the computer industry developing chip designs with almost all of my coworkers being male besides our team assistant and the two project coordinators; the girl who discovered my heel-wearing is one out of our three female engineers] since they know why someone walks that way you do right now...'. I gave her a lift (she asked for that the moment before she found out) and she still joined me so I knew my thing about high heels didn't make her feel uncomfortable being with me... ;o) So we continued to talk about that topic while driving home. She said she finds it funny/interesting but in no way ridiculous. She never met a guy like me who likes heels before, she added.

3.) One day I sat together with one of the other female co-worker at lunch time in the cafeteria and - guess what - discussion went to 'equality' (if this is the right term) and finally I said: 'Okay, if you girls want equal rights then men should be free to wear high heels as well!' - with a smile. She said: 'Why do you complain? That's what you've been doing for quite a while already...'. That day I also wore my 5.5" chunky heel loafers. Damn, she knew it. ;o) And I was so blind thinking that all my efforts to keep my heel wearing private would have been successful. After all I realized that it was somehow known and nobody seems to have an issue with this and so I felt/feel great. So I call it a good reaction of my 'environment' to my heel wearing.

Just this evening I wore my Western-inspired Antonio Melani boots (with an almost stiletto heel) into a fast-food restaurant. As I went to the counter to order, I think the clicking of the heels on the tile floor caught the attention of two young women nearby. Out of the corner of my eye I could see one of them whispering to the other. After placing my order I walked to the counter to fill my drink and I could clearly see in the window the reflection of one of the young women looking closely at my feet. I assumed their reaction was negative, but while I was filling my drink cup, one of the two came over to the drink counter and said to me "I love your boots". It was the kind of reaction from females that I love, but don't often get. It made my day.

fashionablefun link

The best reaction was when I was wearing my 3 1/2 inch dr scholls (sassey) with a blue strap . There were tons of people around and nobody said much untill this girl of about 24 or 25 came over and said , oh my god , I love those shoes , I told her where I bought them and she just kept raving about how great I (they looked) , my wife had to pipe up and say how I owned tons of them and the girl just kept comming back to see again and again , obviously a big fan of guys in heels , but it was great!

I heard the strangest compliment the other day, admittedly from a slightly inebriated woman, but an interesting compliment nevertheless. I was sitting at the bar in a local casino with my wife when a woman came up behind me and put both hands on my shoulders before saying, "I sure wish I could get my husband to wear something more progressive like what you're wearing. He's been stuck on the same style cowboy boots for the last 22 years! Good on 'ya, and cheers!" We slammed glasses and drank, and such was life.

Here is a quote from seraphelle--who loves math, is an enginerring major, and describes herself as being politically very feminist--at Luxury Fashion forums

I don't have a problem with men wearing heels. If we do it, so can you. I know I don't dress purely for men, so it follows that men shouldn't dress purely for women. It doesn't really matter what we think about stilettos on men. I bet your shoes look great AJ!

The reference to AJ is to our very own azraelle. I think seraphelle is probably an objective woman who may possibly contradict the social norm of a "feeling" and "emotionally" driven woman. I say this because she is an engineering major and loves math.

A little bit off topic, but some entertaining additional reading can be found in aspoint_girl's thread POINTY WARS - Here ONLY!

This is a woman who has a fascination with pointy toed stilleto pumps as fierce as anyone here at hhplace. Andrea is married (to a lucky, lucky man) and works in customer service. Andrea's passions has even evolved into a lexicon of Pointy War terms including: Pointy Points, Pointy Warriors, Pointy Fidgets, and the Stilleto Heel Carpet Stab defined here. Here is a quote that highlights her love for pumps.

I tell you these new 3 strap pointy pumps feel like they are almost becoming a part of my foot. I can’t explain it – I just know Pointy Strutting is getting easier and easier and I am felling like so sophisticated and sexy at the same time – like I could take on the world or something. You know what I mean? It’s like these shoes give me an extra little bit of power or something. I tell you I cannot imagine why all women don’t wear them. They really don’t know what they’re missing! Even the walk from my truck to the front door gives me an extra little jolt of energy. You know what’s really funny too? Unless it’s raining or something I’ve been parking about twice as far away from the front door lately – just so I can stretch out the time I have on my pointies. I know that probably sounds a little “different” to some of you girls but I also bet the ones that know what I’m talking about REALLY know what I’m talking about… Right, girls?

Right girls? lol...

[kneehighs]

In respect to our very own exitman1 thread titled posted on a fashion board, I have condensed the positive female posts in response to his post--enjoy!

The first quote is only moderately positive, but was included becasue it at least indicates some justification for a man to wear heels.

The only guys I can see pulling that off are musicians...If you aren't one yet, you can always learn to play bass.

The second quote is very positive.

:lol:I'll have to introduce them to my ex. He was always wearing shoes with a slight lift to them being so paranoid about his height. I say if you can carry them off, wear them and more power to you. The square provides a masculinity to the shoes. If they are secure in their manhood so am I . I don't think anything of guys wearing it.

The third quote embraces an open minded, "why not?"

I didnt quite like them, But then again, if you feel good and it looks good on you, why not?

The fourth is short and sweet.

rock em man!

The fifth:

If they look good on you and you're comfortable wearing it then buy it!

The sixth:

Why not? Whatever makes you comfortable.

The seventh:

I like the shoes.... i love the sexy/glam/rocker look on men! reminds me of Lenny Kravitz....

Good job exitman1!

[kneehighs]

Here are some really good quotes forwarded to me by Emery, from New Mexico. His approach to gaining acceptance was much like the caterpillar. By revealing his interest in heels, he wove a cocoon out of his own body. Through many posts and hard earned trust and time, he started to break through his cocoon. And through the following quotes, he has taken flight as a beautiful and transformed butterfly:

I think it is really neat that you have such a strong interest for womens shoes. I have to admit, at first I was a little weary but then I got to know your personality, you have the best heart. I love the shoes all listed above, the Gucci loafers So anyways, I love hearing all the great stories about you

You have great taste

The final quote is incredible:

Anyways, as to WHY you prefer heels, I'd say the answer should be why wouldn't you!? Heels are hot. Every woman feels sexier in heels, why shouldn't a guy be able to feel like that too if he wants!? For me heels make my feet look nice, my legs look longer, they make me walk differently, maybe some of those are reasons you like them too? It really doesn't matter either way. If you love them, it's awesome that you rock them!

It should be noted that when Emery gave me these quotes he had grace, eloquence, and articulation. When asked why he liked to wear heels, here was his answer:

WHY do I prefer high heels? I’ve thought about that one all my life, and I’ve never cracked the code of just what it is about a raised heel and a well-supported arch that makes me feel so much more comfortable. The closest I’ve come is to note that it feels as graceful as ice skating, a way to move through the world with greater poise and confidence. There is something aristocratic about it, too: the straight-backed posture, the control of gait, and – especially for a guy! – the added height. Put all those together and you have the beginnings of what makes heels so special to me.

Great job! IMHO, when you make establishing rapport and trust a priority, you will enjoy more acceptance than not. This is proof positive that "friendship" evangelization of men in heels works.

[bootish]

Today I was going through the town, wearning my usual stylish outfit with a HUGO shirt and jacket, MacKenzie jeans and my Luciona Padovan stilettos. Then, one coner, a 70 year old woman walking there, stopped, looked, came towards me and said: "I love that look", and went on doing her business. Hmm, that was something, an old lady saying that. I am just used to junger woman saying something. I now I have to revise my prejudice against older people

[kiltsrgr8]

I did post one compliment in the other thread. But I thought I would add more here. I wear my heels about 95% of the time and go everywhere in them. Some of the best complimets of course come from women and are work related (as others mentioned). I recieved a nice compliment from a women who had come to the office for a meeting with myself (IT Manger) and a VP (We are a small company) about point to point communications. That day I had on my brown 4" t-strap heels with an ankle strap. All was going smooth until I lifted my foot up onto my knee. She of course stopped and looked , first was just staring and then said , omg I love thoose , where did you get them? She then touched them ... I find this happens a lot as if sometimes the women don't belive what they are seeing or just want to check it out. So we had a great conversation about great shoes. At work , my Female co-works always compliment me .. our receptionist seems to have this touching thing to , as she will always lift my pants so she can see the whole shoe and touch it , my leg and foot. I have also handed down some of my shoes to a female co-workers daughter. I have also given some of my shoes to a differant co-worker and is really cool when she wears them .. she looks very sexy in them.

[Dawn HH]

Kiltsrgr8:-) It sounds like you have a somewhat similar situation at work as Jeff B. where your co-workers don't mind you wearing heels on the job, and might even look forward to seeing what you will have on your feet each day. Do you wear panty-hose and co-ordinate your out-fits like Jeff B? Enjoy! Cheers--- Dawn HH

[JeffB]

Excellent experiences, Kiltsrgr8! And here I was thinking I was the only high heeled office guy! HA! It's sure nice to know others have broken the mold like I have. As the post has proven, women tend to be overwhelmingly openminded about the notion of men wearing heels and are extremely supportive and complimentary of what we choose to wear. Putting together a complete package (outfit, hosiery and shoes) helps immensely in presenting a positive image of men in heels. Like myself, Kilt, you can only go forward from here! Enjoy!

While this in itself is noteworthy, what really would be noteworthy is that you handed down some of your shoes to any of your co-workers sons.

[corsair]

It has been fun reading about all the reactions and comments guys have received from women. There is nothing like finding a female coworker that you can share your shoe-interest with. I have one here at my current job and have had friends at other workplaces where we were comfortable enough with each other that there was no hesitation to reach down and pull up a pant-leg far enough to check out a pair of boots. Or look down and casually ask, what are you wearing today and have her extend a leg out to show off the latest footwear. My sister knows about my boot-wearing and she also is a big fan of boots, so when we get together there is always some discrete show-and-tell. One time when I was out clubbing en femme, I was sitting on a couch talking with a young lady and she asked about my boots. I was wearing a pair of thigh-hi patent boots with about a 4 inch heels. I offered to let her try them on and she said that she'd like to. She was in a black mini-dress and dark hose, kicked off her pumps and extended a leg for me to put on the first boot. With her being at about a foot shorter than me, the boots were literally crotch-high on her and when I zipped them to the top, it quite literally tickeled her, ummm, fancy. She then extended the second leg and I zipped that boot on her, to our mutual enjoyment. After the boots were on, she lunged over at me and planted a kiss on my lips! She then stood up and walked back and forth for a minute in my boots. After that, she sat back down and let me remove my boots from her. I was again rewarded with a very passionate kiss. Needless to say, that is still the best reaction that I have received from a women about my boots. Other times when I have been out en femme, I have received a number of compliments on my boots and outfits from women and (most surprisingly) from some men out with their wives. I had to wonder if they wanted to dress up and haven't had the courage to do so.

[kiltsrgr8]

It is kinda funny finding this place , as I thought I was maybe one of the only guys like myself in the whole world. Umm ... to answer some of the questions , Yes I always wear hose. Usualy tan. I favor pantyhose , but must admit wearing knee highs a lot of the time , they are just easyer under jeans. any kind of hose to me is just more comfortable with heels than anything else. Thin socks just don't seem to cut it. I don't cordinate to much. I wear jeans most of the time. Except when I wear my kilt. With my kilt I only wear tan hose or sheer off black , and sometimes black tights. But with a kilt , never any kind of pump or thin type heel. Tie shoes , usaly male or maybe a three inch chunky heel type shoe that ties. My own rule is to never mix these things as they are great in their own respect! I do coordinate my toe nails with shoes sometimes , but it is a pain to keep changing colors so most of the time I just pick a cool color and stick with it in the summer. The other comment about handing down shoes to a son of a co-worker ... don't think that will ever happen ..It is a niche thing and I would be amazed if it did happen ,I would redily hand them over though!!!
