Puffer Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyFeat Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 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..."

roniheels Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffB Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 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 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...
