Terrified Asexual Forcemeat: I know sandwich-related injuries are on the rise.

...because they didn't make them correctly?

it's the slippery vaginas

I have inflexible arches, so I can't wear 5" heels. My feet just can't contort to that shape no matter how hard I try. Thus, they suck.

/foot fetishist's worst nightmare
//duck feet, size 11, long 2nd toe... :(

Puh-lease...

My first time in 6" platforms was not a problem at all.

Within 1/2 hour I was running up and down the stairs, and danced for 4 hours in them the same day I got them.

It's all about knowing how to distribute your weight, change your pacing and foot placement.

/Yes, I'm a 6'3" 280lb guy. I look damned good as a woman though.

bibli0phile: Yes, being a slave to a fashion trend born out of the objectification of women is empowerment.

I would also assume that your feet are larger than the average woman's as well. I wear a size 12 in woman's shoes and it does make a difference between wearing high heels when you wear a size 12 when compared to the average of size 7 or 8. There is more of a distance to cover so the angle is not as steep. That is why folks like us can wear higher heels more easily
/one of the few advantages, sadly

My Pleaser heels are size 12. I have some lower heels that are 11's, but they are too narrow for my feet. Hurt like a biatch after about 20 minutes.

pffft 5" is nothing, try 8"

Mrs. Buck has 2 pairs of FM heels. Only wears them to bed. Fine with me.

metametameta: The crazy thing is women subject themselves to these stilts to impress other women, not men. I'm so glad I'm immune to peer pressure. I don't have the least bit of desire to wear those.

That's true of almost every women's fashion. Men don't care about shoes, purses, dresses, designers, elaborate or expensive hairstyles... but for some reason women think they do.

True, but men care about the big picture, and those little details play into the big picture more than you think. They're what make a woman look "polished," and a lot of guys fall for those details without realizing it.

I'm a very non-materialistic, don't-play-games, fashion-hating kind of woman, and I always got passed over by bar stars looking for hookups in favour of my friends who had all that polish. That being said, I attracted a lot of attention by nice guys looking for real conversation/relationship material/non-materialistic women, so I think I got the better deal.

So... if you look like a vain, materialistic, shallow attention whore, that's what you'll attract?

If I wear 5" heels, I'm 6' 2", so most of the time I stick to closer to a 3" heel, 6' tall is enough most of the time. My mom is 5' 2", so I see the draw for her in wearing the 5" heels, it's a completely different dynamic when you're interacting with people and aren't half a foot shorter than most of them.
