Well, you did ask ...!

Whilst in the local shopping mall today (in normal male clothing), I was accosted by a rather earnest young man trying to sell some fancy salt-based skincare compound from a temporary stall. His pitch opened with the question: 'What do you put on after shaving?' and I could not resist looking him in the face and replying 'Sheer stockings and stiletto heels'. As I walked away (with a slight and intentional wiggle of the hips), I think I heard his jaw drop.

We are all familiar on this board with exchanges such as: 'Are those women's shoes? - No, they're mine' and 'How do you walk in those?' - 'One step at a time'. But what other thought-provoking, witty, cheeky or downright rude responses or put-downs have other members used to suitable effect?

That's a great comeback! I'll bet it stopped him in his tracks. I was out one time wearing a pair of 4 inch peep toe pumps and a guy asked me why I was wearing heels. The guy was about 5'7", and I am 6'2" in my bare feet. My reply - "I like to be tall..."

That would be a great line to answer on several question's. Thanks for that one.

Those are great comebacks. Usually when a woman askes me about my high heels. I never think of a witty comeback and I just answer her honestly. I'll remember those.

The simplest respone of all to questions about why men like us wear high heels can be boiled down to this:

"BECAUSE I LIKE TO."

Why reinvent the wheel? Just keep it simple!

I often get asked if I'm a man when out in female mode. My reply: "Sometimes."
