So many questions:

1. Which is the worst crime for a foot appreciator? Chubby feet or bony feet? I always thought it was bony feet but it seems I may be wrong.

2. I can't believe you didn't get into what I always thought was the biggest foot fight: toe shape. Second toe larger or shorter? Descending toes or straight across?

3. Are you grossed out by feet that have been soaking in water and get pruned up?

4. What is your opinion of ballerinas and pointe shoes? They destroy feet.

5. Would you rather someone missing a toe or with an extra toe?

6. Small toenails with lots of fleshiness around them, or longer toenails?

7. Do gay guys have foot fetishes, and if so, are they attracted to giant hairy big ogre man feet? Like do they like the manliest feet they can find?

8. Is the idea of a woman getting a pedicure attractive or gross? On the one hand, it's feet and also involves one person being servile to another, which I'm guessing you like, and also at least in the US there is usually a racial aspect too bc the pedicure places are all staffed by Asians. Otoh, they also do some kind of gross stuff, peeling off skin and clipping cuticles, etc. Whenever I see a guy working at the pedicure places, I always wonder if he wants to kill himself every day cleaning and rubbing women's feet, or if he gets off on it.

9. Do you like getting pedicures? Just even for the foot massage part? I see a lot of like older dudes go in and they don't get polish or anything but are obviously just there for the foot rub. Or does that violate the you hate male feet part?

My feet are small and skinny and my toes are short and not pretty, IMO. Lucky for me no man ever indicated any interest one way or the other, so I never worried about this. I would imagine that for women with pretty feet, this fetish must be the most benign seeming of all of them, plenty love to have their feet touched.

1) Flatness is def the worst

2) lmao this one is totally a meme, I don't think anyone cares. At least I don't.

3) nah

4) They destroy feet if she is Black Swan, doing a moderate amt of ballet as a hobby will just make her better at footjobs

5) missing

6) longer

7) No idea

8) it's hot and I def love racial angle. But it's as hot as the girl is.

9) no I never let anyone see me barefoot

Good questions!

I am seriously shocked that the toe shape/second toe longer or shorter thing is not important. I thought that was like the number one thing people cared about. Maybe it's just that this is the only thing that non-foot-lovers even really notice.

You NEVER let anyone see your feet?! That's wild, you have lived in two of the hottest states in the whole country where people are probably most likely to wear flip flops/sandals.

Assertion that it's weird to prefer small feet over large ones, even though this has the most literature on the evolution of smaller feet as it signals a nubile and nulliparity status and is sexually dimorphic. I care about BOTH foot shape AND size. Walt, don’t be such a chud, going against such an obvious feminine feature and calling it chink coded when it's relevant for any bitch, ever, despite being consciously underrated.

But honestly, more small feet for me. So continue on

I don't think it's that crazy, Quentin Tarantino obvs had a foot fetish and focused pretty heavily on Uma's absolutely unusually long feet. How do feet signal "nubile" status they're almost always just simply correlated with height? I have weirdly small feet for my height...they're the same size as most women way shorter than me, and it's very obvious to me that it just means I'm not functional or coordinated like I should be. They make me weirdly unathletic and easy to tip over.

I don't care about this personally bc I have never had any man care about my feet at all, and people like what they like aesthetically, but just as far as being functional and mechanically sound, it just seems like a fact that small feet make you kinda physically retarded. Now if you only like very small women so just want her feet to match, that makes sense, but feet that are comparatively small compared to height will almost automatically make you a klutz.

I think overall size of extremities relative to height is a sign of being nubile

My first gf was 5'10 and had size 8 and they seemed pretty tiny to me bc of that which was hot. But she was tall enough that they had fantastic arch.

Being clumsy for ornamental appeal is female peacocking

Size 8 at that height is small. I think size 8 is the most common shoe size for women, but most women are 5'4", so yeah that's relatively quite small.

Kate, just take your W

Feet signal nulliparity because they grow under the strain of pregnancy.

My comment should be assumed in relative terms, not absolute terms. Small in proportion* not small in isolation.

That aside, women are not meant to be physically functional in the same way as men. Women are allowed to be unathletic, similar to how men find women very attractive in heels despite them making women “physically retarded”. Wide hips also have a decrease physical coordination effect as it reduces running effectiveness, but a woman being able to sprint matters a lot less to men. Again, we go back to heels making girls artificially physically useless. We just don’t care about women’s physical ability very much, at least when it comes to attractive signaling trade offs. You can’t be ugly AND physically useless, that’s a double negative that doesn’t make sense to the male brain unless he doesn’t have options.

My gf worked at a custom shoe shop for a while, she’s told me how unfortunate it is that many average height girls have large feet.

Most average height women have feet that are 8.5-9. This doesn’t control for nulliparity status, hormonal profile and weight etc

But anyway, I tend to like smaller than average feet i.e preferably below 6 and ideally around 5

My gf is a 5.5 and does ballet while being 5’6. So not short, but a long legged aristocratic athletic frame between 80-92lbs with a phat bubbly ass and pronounced tits

I really don't believe that most men care about feet at all, I think this is a very niche thing. It's probably a good thing for those of you that do, bc it's a pretty harmless differentiator. But I think the guys who care about pedicures and shoes and foot size/shape and all that are a small minority.

I am really wanting to know if there are gay men attracted to man feet, because I cannot imagine this. I am also feeling pretty solid that no women are attracted to man feet.

I jokingly try to get my wife to hop aboard the Sole Train. No dice!

That said, she is only mildly disgusted by my feet, which is pretty good for a man.

I think you are encountering selective effect bc girlbossism and sexualizing feet seem aesthetically at odds due to some antecedent conflict

Guys who enjoy spending money on helpless women are more likely to enjoy feet and girls who get turned on being spoiled are more susceptible to developing receptive foot fetish while women who sacralize their own agency tend to have a more lukewarm response

All these things fit together

What about the ankles! I look for weak ankles to help predict and avoid over pronation.

“if she has slender elegant fingers her toes will match like 90% of the time, and the same principle applies if she has stubby lil’ gremlin fingers”

This is just but one more reason I always look at the hands as well as the feet as a kind of feminine combination that is required to match. If there is a mismatch of a feminine body but large hands, I’m turned off.

Her small well proportioned slender hands must match her feet and ankles as a feminine suite of traits

Seems to me like eating pussy is a very cultural thing, and something some european ethnic groups seem especially averse to. Here in my corner of the 3rd world it's ubiquitous: girls just expect it from guys (at least in my/my friends'experience) and it's mentioned everywhere in pop culture - hell even my dad's made comments about it to me, completely out of the blue. So for me it's totally alien seeing how american guys are disgusted by it

May I ask what corner of the third world you are from exactly? I always thought this was the total opposite and it was mainly Europeans and their descendants who were into it at much higher rates, though this is just an assumption on my part and I don't really know.

I'm brazilian, and everyone here is 50+% portuguese, so the repulsion is most certainly not present in the continent as a whole. But from my view it seems like there are groups - I think anglos and maybe italians too - who find guys doing the act as shameful and gross as butt stuff/homossexuality

Back at the dawn of jazz music, legendary musician Jelly Roll Morton got his name for his fondness for feasting on... jelly rolls, was the euphemism back in the day. But he might as well have been Two Live Crew for the Great Gatsby era: those lyrics from Way Back When leave nothing to the imagination. For everyone who thinks the old days were puritanical - well, jazz wasn't (and significantly, that's why it was controversial). https://www.robertchristgau.com/xg/music/rbmorton-94.php

Tbh I don't care what someone's underlying genetic fitness is as long as I find her attractive even if artificial methods were used to achieve that result.

I'm kind of confused about the attraction to feet. Like do you find feet as big an inducement of arousal as breasts and booty? If so, does that make staring at a lady's feet while she wears flip-flops equivalent to staring at her cleavage? Or do you see feet more like the face, i.e. beautiful and sparking desire but not intrinsically erotic?

Former but I don't like breasts and booty that much tbh

We should also talk about walking gait, if she walks duck footed or is pigeon toed, I’m immediately turned off. It’s somewhat rare for a very attractive girl to walk like a retard. This might have to do with the mechanical chain effecting bone development, and girls with good biomechanics are also going to be more attractive on average.

This is to say I’m only willing to fix her if she’s attractive enough but these traits are negatively correlated with attractiveness to begin with and is probably signaling that she grew up in a relatively suboptimal environment. So it’s not necessarily that much to be concerned about, thankfully. It’s a self correcting filter

For all everyone claims it's an obscure fetish women, who are well aware of the importance of looks, spend quite a bit of money and time on shoes; remember how fond Carrie was of them on Sex and the City. So it probably is a pretty common secondary sexual characteristic that attracts a significant portion of the male population, like breasts or butts but a little less common.

I could see the stubby-vs-slender correlation with personality, though. I mean, we know testosterone correlates with personality and affects face shape and finger ratio. No reason we couldn't see something similar with feet--men have big feet after all, so maybe a lower testosterone to estrogen ratio produces smaller and more gracile feet. Anecdotally I've dated more than my share of bi tomboys, and they tended to be stubby in that regard. But my n is doubtless a lot smaller than Walt's.

P.S. The title made me laugh out loud, and I had to lie about what I was reading at work. "Yeah, someone sent me a funny meme."
