A lot of people think I'm a freak, tho I've had some that were cool with it.... Most just don't understand what I see in women's feet, or how someone could be turned on by them....and of course you get the usual "feet are gross!!"comments

If the girl is into you, and you let your fondness for feet come out naturally, the success rate is probably 99.9%. On the other hand, if you push the issue and force a conversation about it, or if you approach it as being this huge deal, you run the risk of sounding like a pervert.
Imagine having a huge thing for breasts. You sit down with your girl and tell her how all you crave is breasts, you want to do this or that to them, you can't live without them, etc. The girl starts to think that you really don't want her, just her breasts.
Quite honestly, If I was a girl and read through some of the posts here, I'd probably view it as creepy as well.
I would be inclined to agree with this for the most part. A large portion of it starts with yourself and how you approach it. If you're embarrassed about and uncomfortable with your own likes, especially when it's something as innocuous and pedestrian as feet, then it's not really reasonable to presume that someone else should automatically be comfortable with it when you're not even comfortable with it yourself. If you make it out like it's some big deal, then it's going to be perceived as a big deal. If it's not a big deal to you, then chances are higher it won't be a big deal for someone else, either. You don't need to be patted on the hand and told that it's ok to like what you like.
However, with that being said, there are a lot of people who are seemingly too lazy to want to form their own opinions for themselves and need to be told what to think, believe and say based on what they read, see and hear in the media. A lot of people either dislike, or are afraid of what they don't understand. If it's not something that we can easily relate to and identify with, it's easier to just perceive is as being a threat or being bad than it is to actually take the time to understand it. Many people I think find it easier to be followers than leaders because it requires the least amount of explanation. If you just go along with what everyone else is saying, then you don't have to justify your opinion like the person who disagrees does.

We were grown up being taught that feet were gross because they smell. Also, feet can have many problems like athlete's foot, warts, callouses, bunions, corns, hammertoes, ingrown toenails, etc.
However, on the flip side many women who take very good care of their feet at salons and get pedicures weekly don't think feet are gross at all. Feet are actually a lot cleaner and sexier than hands so foot fetish shouldn't even be considered a fetish. It should be counted as the norm.

I am very open about my foot fetish and my wife is very open about my foot fetish too. I simply keep the attitude that there is something wrong with any guy that doesn't have a foot fetish. We are positive and upbeat about it. I have had wonderful success with this and honestly have not had any bad reactions. I think that if a guy is proud of his foot fetish, then it shows in a very positive way in body language and also in his speech patterns. Confidence is EVERYTHING. I would not be surprised that between my wife and I and also my complimenting strange women's feet or toes in public, we have told 200? 300? 500? or more people over the years with no bad reactions. That is the honest truth. It is all in the 'tude.

I don't think it is really that complicated. Feet can, and often do, have an odor. While many of us enjoy that odor, many other people dislike it. What is intoxicating to me is repulsive to others. Those people don't understand how someone would want to put their mouth on smelly feet or how they could possibly be sexually aroused by them. I find the comparison to homosexuality to be one that I relate to most easily. I may choose to indulge my foot fetish, but I did not choose to be attracted to pretty female feet. Often wish I wasn't, but I am who I am.
