I've heard it said that men with big feet also have big, well, um...

Is there a similar correlation in women?

Hrrm, I'm a 9 1/2. My feet definitely do NOT touch the wall first, though.

/mr teeny doesn't care, he likes asses more than boobies

Does this stuff actually matter to some people? I'm a girl and unless a guy had appallingly raunchy feet (which hasn't happened... so far) I can't see caring. If half the rich spend nothing on foot care, good for them for not being frivolous douchebags in at leat one sense.

Gyrfalcon: I prefer a guy with a size 13 dick, myself, and if he can throw a shadow over his shoes, that's just gravy.

Single?

:-D

Here's a helpful infographic.

/Just doing my part.

In regards to the article, I love small feet!

Man, the Chinese were so far ahead of the curve on this.

What a size 5 foot might look like

Size 5 US here, 3 in the UK. Since this is in the Telegraph, I can only assume they mean a 5 UK or 7 US, or close to the most common size (7.5 to 8 US). Headline should read "Men Like Women".

Size 10 feet here...does that make me twice as attractive?

/huge boobs too
//toes definitely don't hit the wall first ;)

I really have never cared about feet very much. Unless they have long yellow toenails and fungus or something.

Then I might care.

So to summarize, a survey by a foot plaster company confirms that men and women are judgmental of others based on the state of their feet, and should use more foot-care products. Gotcha.

So men prefer women with average size feet, which means she's likely average height as well. What a shocking article.

"However, more than half of the UK top earning women, who make more than 71,000 pounds a year, spend nothing on caring for their feet."

This is the sole reason for the study. Making money by convincing women they are innately ugly without costly cosmetics, fashion and surgery is big business. It's probably pointless to mention this though, it's not really men's opinion of women that's at issue. It's the way women judge each other and of course, themselves.

Foot size correlates to height - so we can assume that models, on average, are less attractive because they're tall and therefore have large feet?

Your comment made me think of this article, which I used as an oral interp assignment in college:

FOREVER FRESH (Lost in the Land of Feminine Hygiene)
By Alison Walsh (from the San Francisco Bay Guardian)

Languishing in bed last week with a bad cold, I spent four days in the company of Oprah, Maury Povich and General Hospital. I was astonished to discover that most daytime TV commercials have one clear message: Women leak,
dribble and smell. They're overweight and they're constipated. Women have dandruff, split ends, bad breath, and bad breasts; both the under-and overendowed require special bras. Apparently, women must buff,
douche, diet, gargle, and primp constantly if they want to overcome their basic vileness.

Then I thought, maybe men get the same messages when they watch their programs. Maybe advertising during sporting events is geared toward products that men need to make THEM socially acceptable. So I turned on a golf tournament and spent an hour and twelve minutes watching the commercials.

Evidently men are fine just the way they are. They have a small problem with weight gain and graying hair, but mainly they are handsome, playful, and successful. They get to go fishing with their buddies, using leaves for toilet paper. They could probably come home from their trip and hop right into the sack for a romantic encounter and think they were just fine. No rushing off to shower or spray here.

Around this time I needed to get some cough syrup. The first thing I noticed when I got to the drugstore was a huge sign, "Fem.Hygiene", hanging above an aisle filled with thousands of products designed for women's special needs. There were a variety of pads in a multitude of shapes for heavy periods, light periods, and bladder control, as well as for women who just wanted to feel fresh all day. There were yeast-infection medications, vaginal deodorants, vaginal lubricants, douches, personal towelettes, pregnancy tests, and germicides to do away with feminine odor. There were laxatives, hemorrhoid creams, and gas-relief tablets.

I looked all over, but there was no aisle for "Masc. Hygiene". Now, I've been around enough men to know that some of them could use piddle pads and penis towelettes and deodorants, products for crabs and crotch
rot and athlete's foot and gas, so I couldn't understand why the drugstore didn't at least label the aisle "Fem./Masc. Hygiene".

The closest I came to anything specifically targeted to men was a large display of condoms next to a shelf of K-Y jelly. The packages for feminine products usually featured a woman in a gauzy dress running through a meadow full of spring flowers (daisies were very popular) as her sparkling clean hair billowed behind her. I found myself attracted to a vaginal moisturizer that had a picture of a peaceful little water lily floating on a pond.

"Do you know how to use this?" the male pharmacist asked in what I thought was a particularly loud tone.

"Of course", I replied, certain that everyone in line was staring at me. As it turned out, I couldn't even figure out how to open it. It was one seamless plastic entity. I tried twisting it. I tried cutting it with garden shears. I gnawed at it with my teeth and finally threw it in the trash. I was so angry that I called the manufacturer's
toll-free hot line, which I'd seen advertised on TV, and complained to the customer service representative. She told me I was trying to open the wrong end and that all I had to do was twist off a piece of plastic at the bottom.

Now that would be a peculiar job, I thought, to spend your days answering questions about vaginal moisturizers. I wondered if men have an 800 number they can call to get information on crotch rot. I imagined a TV commercial--a really clean guy fishing in a meadow stream, surrounded by daisies, with a deep voice intoning: "This cream is made specially for men's tender tissues. Call 1-800-JOCKROT for sensitive answers to your intimate questions about male hygiene." Then I pictured the forlorn Jockrot representative, waiting like a Maytag repairman for the telephone to ring. It never does.

I often fap to thoughts of ESPN's Linda Cohn

I believe those who visit peggiesbigfeet.com would disagree.

I don't think there's ever been a man turned off about a woman's feet. As a whole, we seriously couldn't care less about your freaking feet. Sheez. Have you seen ours?

Ugh. I KNEW it. Always knew my amazonian feets would be my downfall. (When I was ten, I asked my mom if anyone in this country practiced foot binding, since losing my toes would take more than an inch off my shoe size. She was horrified; didn't get it. She wouldn't, with her stupid little size sevens.) My feet kept growing years after the rest of me quit; I hit five foot nine in high school, and shoe size 9- but my feet eventually grew into elevens, dammit. (I went up a shoe size with each pregnancy.) I have to shoe-shop with the trannies.

...Though I wonder if the G-cups could even be toted around on a pair of size five feet...could be I'd just topple over face-first.

Dammit !!!!

about 5'11, i'd look realllllly silly with little feet

Depends on the maker, but sometimes I can go as low as a 9 US, but it's usually a size 9 & 1/2 or 10 US for my feet. I'd rather not give out my bra size...but let's just say it's substantial, and there is no way my toes hit the wall first.

/Unless I'm laying down
//Kinky!

Women have feet? I never noticed.

Isn't it attractive to men because it means that the woman can stand closer to the stove?

I wear a size 10 men's shoe. You must be a tall drink of water.

/That, or I'm a wimp.
//Could be both.
///I have an enormous crush on a girl at my school.
////She's 6'2" and so very blue-eyed.

I think a US women's size 10 is the equivalent of a men's size 7.

Me too. If we had small feet we'd fall over.

Pet peeve - sandals with chipped polish or uncared for feet.
Gnarly toes in either gender gross me out.

Yes, your feets too big
Don't want ya, cause ya feets too big
Can't use ya, cause ya feets too big
I really hate ya, cause ya feets too big (new window)

In Imperial China, foot-binding was used to produce the 'lotus foot'. In bowdlerised accounts, Westerners are told that it caused a woman to be housebound and dependent upon her husband. Actually, the 'lotus foot' was used for both manual (pedal?) masturbation of the man, and also as a plug to stimulate a man's anus when the woman wrapped her legs around him during sexual intercourse.

FTFA: "Research by foot plaster company Compeed revealed nearly half of men will look at a woman's feet on a first date and a third will make a character judgement based on the state of them."

Seriously, though, I wish anyone conducting a survey (which is not "research") had to follow the established rules for scientific research, or at least had to report all of their instruments, including questions. If you asked me "would you look at a woman's feet on the first date, I would say sure, because who (other than blind people) doesn't do a head-to-toe checkout on a first date? If you asked me "if a woman had skanky-ass feet exposed on a first date, would you think that was weird?", again I would say yes. But if you asked me, "SPB, do you think how a woman's feet look is of crucial importance on a first date?", I would say "no". I would prefer that they be clean (i.e., not smelly) and not be, say, fungally infected, but other than that...

Women do this for other women and for themselves, not for men. This is almost as silly as mascara (never have I ever heard a straight man say "check out those lashes on that one".
