I know friends, who are from different cultures, want to dress "sexy" for their husbands all the time. Sort of like the anti-burka.

because they're small so they want to look taller?

because they're small so heels don't hurt as bad bigger women?

because they're asian they don't dress like white women?

get it now?

what's with large white women who wear yoga pants (used to be tennis skirts) who were not playing tennis nor doing yoga? i don't get it, must be cultural. YES of course it's cultural, dimwit.

btw can you count in one hand how many asian women you'd ever seen before moving here?

white woman here. my comfort is worth more than what anyone else says.I would never sacrifice my own personal comfort for something as silly as wearing heels all the time . Ridiculous. You sound like the dimwit.

Ironic post.

1) Society is NOT fed up. Are you kidding me? Heels are still fetishized everywhere.

2) Flip-flops are really bad for your feet. Worse than heels, probably.

The previous poster was trying to say our society is fucked up, without spelling out the word fuck.

I heard prostitutes were the first to shave their legs too...

And wear rouge!

+1. Some people are so over the top. Measuring worth by shoes? No one said that, some people just prefer wearing heels. All of mine are super comfortable, and I'd never wear shoes that hurt my feet. That applies to heels or flats.

Perhaps you should do a little research on how bad flip flops are for you. Some say it's worse than heels.

Anonymous wrote:Stripper heels or not I think women are crazy for wearing heels period. They are destroying their feet and backs and the more heel the worse it is. Is it worth that for fashion? Height? Or even so your butt wiggle is more pronounced and men like that? I don't think so!

I am a man and I approved this message.

agreed. And most women walk like baby giraffes with broken ankles in them.

This! Before I even got to past your title my first thought was - Asian ladies or, and more likely Latin American ladies. FWIW, I lived in Southeast Asia for a long time and my favorite travel destinations (before I got boring and had kids) were places in S. America- so my thoughts weren't of the disparaging variety just that's what my mind thought immediately as a picture before even reading.

I wouldn't necessarily say its more "stylish" or fashionable, its just preference. I mean a lot of heels I see are way, way unfashionable but I know that for some women ANY heel is more fashionable than flats because that's what they see as fashion, particularly if its cultural.
