JeffB Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 What about our own self-perception when we wear heels? I've found that when I first tried on a pair of heels (3.5") that I tended to stoop because it seemed I was too tall! Over time, and after having worn them around the house for a few hours a day, I feel short when I take them off, like you did when you were a kid and the counter was just a little bit too high. I'll admit that I did stoop in the beginning, but now I stand proud and straight when I'm in heels. If I'm gonna stand out in a crowd, then so be it! If anything, that makes me feel unique! As for self-perception, yeah, after wearing heels for so many hours, I actually DO feel shorter when I take them off! That's pretty darn wild! 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...
ShockQueen Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Actually, for me (I'm also 6'2"), when I take off heels, and things look higher, it makes ME feel good because I DO feel shorter, and sometimes I get a little tired of being so tall....and of course having big feet. I do wish sometimes I had the proportion to have men's size 9 feet - but that's just wishful thinking there. SQ.....still busting societal molds with a smile...and a 50-ton sledge!

Dawn HH Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I have the exact opposite feelings than you guys about wearing heels. One of the reasons I like wearing heels is because they make me much taller than I actually am. And that's a feeling I really enjoy and one of the many reasons that I enjoy wearing heels so much and so often. Cheers--- Dawn HH High Heeled Boots Forever!
