Sub Joe said:Interesting post, SF. To me, the reason is that stillettos make a woman's legs look longer, and changes the proportion of her body so that she looks thinner.
I know I've mentioned this before, but I still find the images in my mind haunting.Svenskaflicka said:But personally, I think that the biggest appeal factor is that women can't run very well in high heels, which makes it easier for men to catch up with them.

Additionally, if a woman ever sues you for buying her shoes just let me know who she is and I will organize a public lynching.

I would leave then, and that would be the end of it. If I did persist in trying to pick her up, I would probably be arrested as a stalker or something of that sort. If I sneakily bought them for her and left a way of getting in touch with me, probably the people who did the getting in touch would be the police.
Women, on the other hand are held by society to a much lower standard.

No wonder chivalry is dying. Overreacting women are probably largely at fault, but overzealous men must take some responsibility for this as well.
I think most women would be flattered to receive a genuine compliment rather than another lame pick up line, and along the lines of buying a pair of shoes she seemed to like would be an even nicer gesture.
I don't think women are held to a lower standard. I think some men make too much of a public showing of their stupidity and desperation to get female attention.

Boxlicker101 said:What I mean is that a straight woman would reject the unwanted advances of a man more loudly and emphatically than she would reject the advances of a woman perceived to be a lesbian. Most men wouldn't reject the advances of a woman at all, no matter how lame the pickup line was.
lucky-E-leven said:I'm sticking to my guns that the reaction would be based moreso on the advance than the person making it. I know some women that would have a shit-fit if a woman offered up her phone number, whether a new pair of shoes was part of the deal or not. I wish I didn't, but I do and those same people would probably gladly take a pair of shoes from you without a second thought. I wouldn't expect a call from the uppity gals, but there would be no tantrums thrown in the shoe store.

And I have to agree that most men wouldn't reject any advances, but that's not saying much more than, women are more selective with who we want to spend time with.

perdita said:In my mid-30's I decided I couldn't waste time on the usual games and ploys so if I was attracted to a man for any reason I let him know right away. Sometimes I would write them a note, saying something like, "Please excuse my frankness, but I find you personable and interesting. Would you like to spend a little time with me over coffee or drinks? I hope this does not offend you in any way, and at the very least you are flattered."
Other times I would basically speak the same message in person. I think about half the time men would take me up on my offer, and those who didn't always said they were married or otherwise attached but thanked me for speaking up and said I had made their day. One time a married man was so impressed he invited me to get together with him and his wife as they had only recently moved to the bay area and were looking to make friends (fyi, they

Dirt Man said:One of my favorite movies: "The American President," the daughter tells her father, the President of the United states, played by Micheal Douglas, to compliment his date, played by Annette Benning, on her shoes. He does, and of course his date is simply thrilled to the core. But why? What is it about shoes that is so important to woman?
Right off the top of my head I thought of Cinderella, and the glass slipper, and all that denotes.
Then I thought of that old chavenistic phrase: "Keep her barefoot, and pregnant." And all that phrase brings to mind.
Cinderella finds her perfect mate, or rather he finds the real her through the shoe, or more appropriately, her glass slipper left behind. The whole story's climax revolves around that damn shoe, and the fact that the last thing the prince sees of Cinderella at his Ball is her bare feet hoofing it out of his site.
So do shoes represent the lasting independance of all single women? Or does it represent the epitomb of femininity because men would simply look rediculous in high heels? Or is it even more simple than that? Do women define their inner selves by the shoes that they wear? Can a man see into their souls by first checking out what they have placed their feet into? And lastly, will a man raise a woman's eyebrow by acknowledging her choice in footwear, and podiatrists?
