[the truth]

Ive asked many women over the years why they put themselves through the agony of tottering around in 5 inch heels in the depths of midwinter and Ive yet to have an answer, most just look confused about it others dont quite want to explain exactly....so does any woman or even man have an explanation? ok heels are considered sexy, ok they make you taller, agreed. do they change your posture, your body shape to highlight your sexier assets?

I rarely wear heels, hate them, uncomfortable horrible things. Obviously I do if I'm wearing a dress but not very high ones

[Ammi]

..high heels don't automatically mean agony..some ladies find them comfortable..why don't you try them and find out for yourself...

[GiRTh]

I like the sexiness of high heels but they're completely impractical. It must be like standing on a knitting needle.

[AnnieK]

Heels elongate the calf and make legs look longer apparently giving the leg a nicer shape. Before I had my son I rarely wore flat shoes but now I live in them and find heels uncomfortable but I don't feel "dressed up" without stupidly uncomfortable high heels. It's now like a competition with myself if I can do a full night without ending up barefoot

[GiRTh]

My neighbour likes to wear tall heels to work. Its not that she's particularly short or anything she just likes to wear them to look fabulous. She always looks amazing BTW but I cant imagine what it must be like to stand on tall heels all day.

[the truth]

so theyre worn to elongate the calf , right. is that it

I very very rarely wear heels. Only time I do so is on occasions where I am required to look very well dressed (weddings, parties etc) and even then I tend to opt for flat shoes a lot of the time. I own only one pair of heels. Dont see the point in making myself uncomfortable all night for the sake of my feet looking good

Last time I wore heels was at my brothers wedding and I ended up falling down the steps of the church had my flip flops on by 6pm

i thought this was gonna have a punchline inside

I wear heels almost all the time. They make my legs and bum look great. They make me walk better, they make me stand straighter, my clothes hang better and in heels I'm around six feet tall. Wearing them gives me an advantage in a male-dominated job, even though that advantage is purely psychological.

Well yes, It does seem to suggest it is purely for confidence.
I think though times are changing very fast, and younger women now are more comfortable in male dominated professions.

why talk of women only? havent men got feelings too?

theres no reason they shouldnt be, the question really is how comfortable are men in female dominated profesions? schools (theres less than 10% male teachers now in primary schools), customer service centres, nursing, fashion, social work, doctors surgeries, etc vastly female dominated. i recall my times in the banking secotr Id say it was at least 80% women. all the bawdy humour was from the women. the guys spoke more about general topics like sports politics , the women spoke far far far more about sex. It didnt offend me, though at times it did bore me.

overall though It was great fun but it was the total opposite to the alleged male dominated workplaces that supposedly prevail across the nation. this was over a decade ago. perhaps it worked ecause of the fact almost everyone had a sense of humour. saldy if it was the other way around id imagine a feminist would have taken offense and taken something out of context. if a woman says it its light hearted fun, if a man says the same thing its borderline sexist and hes a dinosaur. for the record I hate it when men pigeon hole women as slappers or treat them as there purely for sex, I dont want to hear any intimate sexual details thank you, but in truth I very rarely hear men speak like this.

But I assure you groups of women talking about their private sex lives with strangers is equally nauseating. sex and love making is intimate and whilst a laugh is fine, it can soon become crass.

We're talking about women because the topic of the thread is women wearing high heels and the many reasons why they might do.

that reply was specifically referring to another reply, why are you choosing to take it out of context? anyways back to the topic, why do you think women wear high heels/

I'm sorry Ammi, I have to turn you down. I'm afraid you lack something in my eyes. A penis.

[Ammi]
