Men's feet are not the topic here, Frank...it's WOMEN'S feet. And I want to thank Patsy Faye for vindicating my feeling about High Arched WOMEN'S feet, especially my Wife's! Any man who gets turned on by MEN'S feet is a queer! Hal
Dunno. High arches may be pretty to some but they may also lead to a few problems due to improper weight distribution and improper weight distribution equals a whole array of muscle and joint pain not only from the feet themselves, but the knees, hips and spine. The person born with such feet may have to invest in arch supports, foot pads or even have to visit the podiatrist for personally fitted prosthetic arches which are expensive and bothersome. There is one plus that I have read which is that some women report that wearing high heels helps alleviate some of the discomfort brought on by high arches. That said, I have never heard a woman praise how comfortable 3” or 4” high heels were after a few hours of wearing them anyway so are the fashionable heels really a good answer to the underlying problem? Note: High heels are a contrivance of men for a taller look just as foot binding was developed to make women’s feet stay smaller which was, to some, “pretty” and socially fashionable. No, I like to think things all the way through and just using my husbandly imagination, the headache syndrome “some” wives may use should not be compounded with a foot ache as well.
Well I never knew that Bobby I know there are a lot of problems due to wearing high heels, never wore them meself too uncomfy but thought they contributed to problems with the arch ………….
Perhaps at this point I could post some pics of more ennerving content to stimulate the conversation? Why must we stop with feet? How's about if I post a pic of my only tattoo, after having honestly stating long ago, I have no tattoos? Wanna see? Frank
@Frank, I guess you're not old enough to remember the word "queer" as a reference to a male homosexual. This was before the word "gay" was used to describe them. Hal
While you may remember it as a slur that was used to refer to gay people, the LGBTQ community uses it as well. The "Q" stands for "queer/questioning." In the 1960s, Spiro Agnew famously referred to antiwar protestors are "freaks," and they willingly took on the term for themselves. In the 1500s, those who were opposed to the Radical Reformation referred to its adherents as "Anabaptists," supposing that, because they were opposed to infant baptism, they were opposed to baptism. The Anabaptists took on the slur as the name for their movement. Many of the names that we have for various types of people were first flung at them as epithets. However, it seems that you intended it as a slur, as was probably the case with the "weeds" comment in another thread. Please don't go out of your way to refer to groups of people with slurs, as those who you intend to offend may reasonably take offense, and there's really no need for it. There is that, plus the fact that it has nothing to do with high arches, the topic of this thread.
In addition to the usual attributes, I would like to add an Alto voice, (as compared to the usual Soprano), and High Aches. My wife has all three! Hal
Beth, I know I made a spelling error and I feel really stupid about it, because it rarely happens, and to have someone call me on it is even worse! However, I admire you for catching the error and for pointing it out to all! Good for you, Girl, you knocked me off my High Horse! Hal
I thought the title of this was What Qualities do Men Admire in Women, or something like that? I was sort of curious to see some replies to that.
