Rarely any men heelers in my city

I live in Gary, Indiana (*gasps* Gary?! How dangerous!?), and I've definately never seen a male wearing heels. Is it the place that's the problem? If so, where should I move to then?

Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip would be a good place. New York is not so good, as hiphop is even stronger there than anywhere else in the world.

Thw way I hear it, New Orleansi is good. San Francisco, too. Prolly any forward big city.

Gary, Indiana? Isn't that right right across the street from Chicago, hog butcher to the world?

By and large, men in heels are rare birds, almost no matter where you are.

I am up in the Minneapolis- St. Paul metroplex. This is a 3 million pop. area.
And I never see any men in heels here.

By way of encouragement, nobody bothers me about my heel boots, and at singles social events, I get quite a few shoe-related compliments from women.

"I love your boots," is common.

Don't worry that you are not seeing other men in heels. Enjoy being unique.

HighHeelDude, why not buy a nice pair of womans loafer style shoes, black or brown with 2" to 2 1/2" heels and wear them to class? No one -- and I repeat, no one -- will give you a second glance.
(something like these: http://i5.ebayimg.com/03/i/08/e0/fb/ef_1.JPG

And, as far as girls accepting men as they are, if you are honest from the "get go" the girls that aren't bothered by your heels will become known from your very first meeting.

Wearing heels is very easily explained when people ask why you are wearing them. The answer? Because I like them. And that is that.

A quick bit of irony: Those shoes pictured above resemble very much shoes made for men in the late 1970s.

I have a pair of Mudd shoes that look like those (except they are not shiny). I have worn those in public a few times and I only caught one woman staring at them.

Did you ever wear heels yourself on the street of your hometown Gary? Curiously I looked into my atlas and saw that Gary is a big town in the immediate vicinity of Chicago. Is even a metropolpolis like Chicago not enough for you?

Here my counterpart to your cry for help:

I'm living in a small german village called Frankfurt. Nobody would know this village if we hadn't a 30 square miles airfield. If no rural public festivals like the Love Parade, the catholic St. Christopers Street Day or our traditional Carnival is taking place I'm mostly alone with my 1'' raised heels in our tiny shopping mall. Im desperate! Where should I move to? Into a onehundred souls village in the Bavarian Forest or to Heidi's alp in Switzerland? And how could I be shure that the mountain goats aren't laughing about me when I'm stumbling late in the night with my stilettos into their watering tank? No, the best choice is definetely a given up gold diggers camp in Alaska. Hoping that the ice bears are free from prejudices against guys on heels! Who of you has experiences with the tolerance of ice bears?
