This is one of those fascinating threads that appears from time to time on this board. Thanks to Johnieheel for starting it.

Like many who have responded, it is a question that had never crossed my mind. Women can wear heels - period. However, it is a known fact that men do look at womens shoes and stiuletto heels are very much appreciated. But in all things in life, there are the few who take things too far.

IMHO this is a reflection on the standards of society and the way children are brought up. Lets face it, we men on this board mostly have a love of heels because of our childhood experience in our mothers wardrobe.

It seems to me that there is a general lack of respect for each other and their choices. Apperance should not dictate how to interact with another, actions should. I have sat next to a man on the train who had so many studs and piercings in his head, I wondered how he could drink without leaking, yet I had a most pleasant conversation with him precisely because of the way he asked if the seat next to me was vacant.

I am sorry for SarahLou, or any other woman for that matter, who loves to wear nice clothes, lingerie and heels because she feels good in them, feels she can't when on her own because of her desire not to be predated upon. The risk is tiny of course, but it is still there.

Its a shame the growing number of ladies on the board have not enetered into the conversation because their views would be most enlightening, especially if they would expand upon why they have this fear. Perhaps SarahLou should/could open a topic in the Ladies only section.
