No problem. Although the fascinating thing about forums is that individuals have the ability to change the directions and make certain subjects more prominent. You just need to carry a certain number of people with you and new directions can emerge within the broader framework.

The forum is what people make of it and it's certainly changed since we started it in 2002 and from the old boardhost forums before.

Boardhost is still going by the way. You can see it here:

It is not like you girls that can talk about fashionina cofeebar. We have to talk about fooball and motorsports and other so called masculine things. If I would start talking about fashion in my local, they probably all will look at me with the expression of "what the heck is he talking about...."turn around and start talking again about the latest footbalmatch.

I do hope we can have some advice from you in further threads, I defenatly would like to have some. I am now training more or less for the 6" heels.
Where about in England do you live.

OMG! 6 inch heels, you really are serious.

I think it's great that you can express yourself in here.
So often people talk least about the things they think about most and it's usually for fear of exposing themselves and being shot down in flames.

Of course I'll do my best to answer any questions while I'm around but I'm not sure what else I can add in a place with such experience.

I live in Scotland, which is quite close to England but not very near anywhere else.

I hope I didnt fall into the "friction-jealousy-sexism" category. I was treading carefully today and wanted to understand what women like and perhaps look to see the correlation as to why I appreciate the same.
I know its another question, but are you able to say what it is you were expecting? I am genuinely interested to know, and I hope you felt the sincerity. It would be sad if you should stop posting.
In my view women are highly regarded (not just, but as well as) for their acceptance and elegance in heels. I certainly would never take it to a point of sexism or jealousy.
The same acceptances or perceptions could be felt about lots of other things, for example trousers, skirts or kilts, shirts or blouses and even ties, fragrances to beauty products / lotions becoming unisex. It all starts with the understanding.

Scotland, your avatar gives the impression of a much better and sunnier place in GB.

That is exactly what I mean, express ourselves. You should know how many people have their own desires but are afraid to talk about it. Even with their own partners.... What a ly do they live.
I had in a previous job a lot of people coming to me and talk about their own problems.... and the stories I heard where amazing.

We should try to meet and exchange experience. I'm certain that you have lots more experience then I have.
Are you coming to the annual Heel Meet in London.

Where I live is probably the least sunny place in Britain.
My camera only usually comes out of its bag when I'm on holiday.

I think I might feel a bit out of place at your high heel meeting but thank you for inviting me anyway

I don't think you'd be out of place. We're a pretty easy bunch to talk to and we do get women coming along so you'd be welcome if you could make it.

I'm not really sure what I expected but it wasn't a window into what appears to be almost another world hidden from view.
I bumped into this forum while browsing and joined before I had read any of it.
I'll only stop posting if it ceases to interest me.

We always can use another perspective in the wearing of high heels. Thanks for sharing yours with us, Amanda! Looking forward to more of your insights.

Turned out to be a eye opener did it not?

It's really a narrow topic I my self don't wright here much any more, but I check up on it daily to see if any thing interesting comes along or something to share.
