Sometimes, when I'm around those "non-foot folks" who don't understand my passion for feet. My only concern is that these few people, who don't really know me, will eventually find out and begin playin' 20 questions! There's nothing I hate worse than being interrogated by a group of closed-minded idiots.

Good point. But feet aren't something "normal" guys are into. So, sometimes we might think to ourselves, "Why am I attracted to a female body part most guys don't pay attention to?"
Well, I think we are attracted to them because ladies take so much time to make them attractive! Look around and see how many nail salons there are out there. How much time do women spend on buying creams, lotions, nail polish, etc. for their feet? They constantly are removing any hard skin with Dr. Shools foot products, and want to make them attractive. That's why we like them!

dougiezerts I guess my question is what is "normal" who determines what that looks like ya know? just because society has definied some things as normal etc doesn't mean that they have cornered the market on life or understanding. I don't think I'm abnormal at all rather the reverse, I'm a pretty simple guy. I work daily and pay my taxes and bills just like most people so as all can see I'm normal and so are most people who love ladies with gorgeous feet. Great dialogue though. Good stuff

Nope, never, not so far anyways, because to me, ive always been this way and it has always been a part of me so i dont know what its like to not have this interest and i couldnt imagine it, to do that would be to imagine being someone else completely different. I merely accept what i like and how/what I am.

Since there seems to be a certain percentage of the population with foot fetishes, across all regional, racial and ethinic lines, I think it's just normal for some people to develop the fetish. We probably have the fetish for the same reasons that some people are gay. It's just who we are. We should just accept it.
Well said!
My foot fetish is probably a large part of why I am tolerant of gays. It's clearly a "there-but-for-the-grace-of-whateverdiety-go-I" thing.
I occasionally do look at a pair of feet and contemplate why it's feet that I find so irresistibly attractive. I never end up with a conclusive identification of what is the cause of my attraction.
I obviously see beauty in them, and admire when they are well formed. But what is it about one pair's shape that I consider "well formed," when another pair, while not damaged or defective in any way, is not at all appealing to me?
A funny thing about people who do not have any identifiable "fetish"--I'll bet they don't ever bother to sit there and ask themselves what it is about a woman's body overall, or her pussy or ass or tits, that they find so irresistibly attractive!
Is that because we like an "odd" part of the body, and because it's out of the ordinary to like this part, we feel an inner need to have to justify it (either to others, or just to ourselves)?

I don't think that's it. At least, that doesn't go far enough. You said, "ladies...make them attractive." They pretty-up their feet, sure--but that wouldn't make any difference if we didn't already like feet to begin with, so we're back to the same question once again.
After all, the prettying-up of feet does not make non-foot-guys go nuts for them the way we do. And what of the many guys who find the greatest appeal in girls' feet that haven't been pedicured and pampered and polished? As I said, back to the same question all over again.

Well, I agree with you in some sense. However, personally I don't like ugly feet. I do love female feet but not if they are full of callouses or bunions or ingrown toenails. I like feet that are well taken care of. Smooth skin, well trimmed toenails, and a nice arch. Posts: 1189 | Registered: Dec 2009

No....What I question myself about ; "Why am I frightened to death that someone is going to find out about it.." In this day and age most people could give a shit, about anything we're into. People are too busy with their own problems.

Hmm, yeah I suppose that on occasion I have always wondered what sets us guys with a foot fetish apart from other folk.
But after a bit of contemplation I always remember that almost everyone has a kink or a fetish, even if it's one they haven't explored.
Everyone is going to have different tastes, sexually speaking. I have accepted my tastes as the way I am, and am actually pretty happy that I can admit to most people that I like feet. A lot of girls that I meet, and friends that I acquire through my line of work are pretty open about sexuality so I've always felt that my fetish was normal and that I was just a tad different.
Anyways, yes I have wondered about why I have this fetish. But, most times I don't really care.

generally speaking, when we ask ourselves the "why's" of what we are attracted to, it somehow ties back to the S&R value of the woman in judgement.
S&R value is short for survival and replication value. And there-in exists a very large number of subtleties that can affect a good or bad value that we may or may not equate to the trait.
For instance, big boobs or hip to waistline ratios can be perceived as positive child bearing traits to the subconscious mind. Her survival and replication value can start to be derived.
Sometimes we might assess female traits that are more far removed and give them a connection to her S&R value. The priority on these far-removed traits may have somehow been distorted at a previous time in the person's sexual or personal development to associate these less important aspects of S&R to give them a higher value. Shapely feet might represent a female's shapely form to some men, just like a hip to waist ratio is an indicator of shapeliness.
Then again, the seemingly completely irrelevant traits may be the ones that we perceive to count the most toward higher S&R values. Some dudes might like confident women and associate those things with higher S&R than more justifiable traits. It's all relevant to random judgements and associations in our individual minds that make some traits more important than others, but in the end whether we realize it or not, they somehow tie back to her S&R value.
Sexual attraction is a very complex thing which many people have a hard time understanding. Unfortunately, many foot fetishists have a hard time understanding themselves much less the basics of sexual attraction.
We often have a harder time because of the vibes society has cast upon us. My advice to foot men is to be real men and in doing so you will be able to accept who you really are.
When you are able to do that, you can have a less tarnished view of how to see yourself, questions about your fetish included. my overarching advice is to avoid the pretense of being someone you're not (like many fetishists try to do). forcing a change from the outside never works -- it must come from within... if it must come at all.
but when you truly understand yourself, you can be more at peace about the things which may or may not require change. the reasons for your fetish are a personal thing. many people are different. to start understanding why, look within.

I think mine developed about the same time I was just noticing girls, maybe around 5th grade. i thought it was strange and never mentioned it to anyone all through H.S. and even into college. But in college is where I had my first foot love experience. Aside from people here on Wu, we all know that there are many foot lovers out there that play the 'oh that's sick' role just to cover up or to not be part of this group. I don't go out revealing all that on MS or FB -you gotta know where to draw the line. But if a woman was to ask, i would be straight up fron about it.

im 23 and have had 2 girlfriends really let me get involved with it. and ive come up against challenges with them. they had more of a problem with it.
my main concern now is finding someone, or getting someone to be happy about it with me.
i have also great comfort in knowing just how many people have a foot fetish, just through posts like this
