I met a girl in college once who told me over and over how much she hated feet.

I asked a girl to model for me once, and she said she hated feet, then told she did not think her feet were pretty.

I tried to get her to change her mind, but forget it.

Then after giving up, I asked her why she hated feet, but by then, she was ignoring my emails.

If there are any women on the board, please add your input on this. I know society has a lot to do with it, as society says guys feet stink, therefore, all feet stink. It becomes the "trickle down effect", and then all feet get generalized.

I hate to say it fellows, but IMO, I think the reason girls hate feet is because of us. As men, we dictate what is hot and what is not. We make the rules and we make the policies. Once guys generalize that feet are bad, ugly, stink, etc., then it is only natural for our counterparts to think the same.

I don't get it. I'm in highschool and I literally see hundreds of girls with beautiful feet walking through the halls every week day. A lot of girls really take care of their feet (& a lot don't which grosses me out) and it really seems like they love showing them off by wearing flip flops, high heels and painting designs on their nails, but if I was to ask them what they thought about foot fetishes, they'd say that was nasty. My thinking is that when a girl wants to show off a certain body part of hers, she wears something tighter or more revealing (like flip flops or open toe heels)... They know when us guys are checking out their ass because their wearing tight jeans or their tits when they wear a low cut shirt, so if they're uncomfortable about foot fetishes (what's going through our mind when we look at their feet) then why do they show their feet off so much?

There are so many variables in this seemingly simple equation.


I know a woman with a fetish for men's and women's feet. She also likes to have her feet worshipped by men and other women.
Likes feet?...yes


My wife thinks her feet are cute and likes to show them off. She also notices other women's feet and shoes (I've created a monster...hehehee). She doesn't particularly *like* feet the way I do, but she's not grossed out by them by any means.
Likes feet?...somewhat


I met a woman who had fantastic looking feet, but she wouldn't model for me because she thought feet were gross.
Likes feet?...heck no!


Some women I've asked to model for me really have no opinion about feet. They have the "no big deal it's just my feet" attitude.
Like feet?...not in particular


Some women I've asked to model for me never paid much attention to their feet but liked the attention they got during the photo shoot and from emailed compliments from fans.
Like feet?...sure, okay


...almost done...


I heard a situation where a woman packed up and walked out on a photo shoot because of the way the photographer improperly handled himself during a shoot. He attempted to suck her toes without her consent and made stupid sleazebag comments.
Likes feet...not any more!

To back up the point you're making...

My wife & I were watching Family Feud not too long ago (new one, hosted by Richard Karn), and one of the final round questions was something along the lines of:

"Name a body part a woman doesn't like about herself".

The first guy answered her breasts, the second guy answered her thighs.

Bzzzzt! Wrong!

My wife and I knew immediately what the most popular answer on the board was...yup, her feet.

So that goes to show that in a simple survey of 100 people, the majority of them are under the impression that a woman dislikes her feet more than any other of her body parts. The odds seem to be stacked against us foot guys.

That's alright though...through process of elimination we just gotta find the ones who like their feet.

True dat. I've noticed that some... actually quite a bit of girls have shoe fetishes. No suprise there. Anyways, I've heard some say that they love to show their feet off by wearing flip flops or heels that show enough toe cleavage. I'm really tempted to "see" if they have a foot fetish and if they wouldn't mind foot foreplay in a possible relationship, but if they take it wrong, I kinda don't wanna be known as the "guy who licks toes".

Yea... I'm a closet foot fetisher. :\ I've told maybe a handful of girls, and they've all been interested in how can like feet and all. lol... I remember this one girl that I told, would always tell me to not look/glance at her feet whenever we talked. Ahh... good times.

See I find this to be odd. I might be in the minority, but for the most part, the girls (all people really) who know me know me as the foot guy or for having a foot fetish. I did artwork using female feet as my subject matter all the way back to high school and through college. I found many girls who thought it was interesting that I would appreciate a part of their body that they tried to make pretty and usually, to their knowledge, never garnished much attention.

Now on the flip side I have come across a handful of women who have thought it was nasty to like feet and pretty much hated them in general. And guess what, only a handful of those girls had nice feet. A coinsidence?

I also think it is quite scary to girls to hear the word fetish. Of course some guy coming out right to them ASAP as having a foot fetish might make them feel strange. Would they feel any better if some guy they just met said, "I really have a thing for asses and I would love to look at yours." Come on people it is in the approach. Show them they're beautiful below the ankles and stop stressing over how bad you want them in your mouth. It seems like so many people with a fetish get ahold of that object and forget there is a person that goes along with them. You have to work the charms. Do I need an infomercial? Heehee...

Those are words of wisdom, and I'll certainly also endorse Patrick's philosophy. One of the main reasons that so many women are turned off by the notion of foot fetish is that they frequently view fetishists as people who mentally separate the object of their zealous desire (in this case their feet) from the rest of the package. In this way, it not only reduced them to a piece of meat, but it goes even further in diminishing their feelings of worth because even that physical fixation is only focused on one small aspect of their bodies rather than on their body as a whole. Hypothetically speaking, a man who is successful in his foot fetish pursuits is a man who has mastered the necessary skills of interpersonal communication. He conducts himself with confidence and charisma, and he knows how to be sociable, how to listen to others, and perhaps above all else, he understands that patience can often yield the most rewarding payoffs.

Well put Calico and Patrick. I'm sure the "fixation" philosophy holds true for any body part, right?

"He keeps staring at my feet" could easily be interchanged with "He keeps staring at my tits" or "He keeps staring at my ass". It's not the feet that are the negative aspect, it's the way we tend to fixate on them and forget the rest of the person like Patrick said.

It's hard to zoom out to see the whole picture when you might not realize you're focused on one thing.

However, I think the original point the good Sir JediOfTheFeet was trying to make in this post is this: you might treat a woman nicely and properly, and she might be totally comfortable with you, but she still simply might be grossed out by the concept of feet.

It's true in some cases, but certainly ALL women don't hate feet though. The only thing ALL women have in common is "XX" chromosomes.

Ya win some, ya lose some...

Bondo,

When you really break it down, I think you can ask a mass of people about their feelings on certain things and I think they are bound to tell you a multitude of different things. For example, people are bound to hate feet as they are bound to hate, brown eyes. And as a blue eyed guy who has heard so many times from brown eyed girls, "I wish I had your blue eyes." And guess what, I loved their brown ones. Things are never 100% one way with opinions, so just keep looking you're bound to find your "sole mate."

I once asked my girlfriend if she thought that the foot was an attractive female body part. She said it depends on the woman. Then she told me about an older woman in her office with ugly feet who insisted on showing them off in sandals!

Posted by Danielle (Member # 8698) on :
 
I think that if you find the right person no matter what your fetish is, that level of attraction has to be there! You can't marry a woman for her feet, well you could but that is a good way to become another statistic. I think focusing on the beautiful inner qualities of your person of desire make every other part of them sexy no matter what your fetish. There are controlling women out there but truly it really is the one thing us women can consistently control. It is a man's world believe it or not.
As far as women hating their feet, a lot of women have feet issues in different times of their lives that they can't control like when they swell during pregnancy. A lot of women do not realize that it can be a sexy part because most men focus on the breasts; the ass; the legs; the abs that if they hate one or more of those parts they will hate feet by default. Showing a woman that she is beautiful in all aspects in my opinion is key!

Personnally....I'm freakin tired of women's negative attitudes in this country regarding their own feet and the men who find them attractive.

Another point....just feel the need to vent....here in the Sacramento area, a lot of gals walk around in sandals, and a lot of them do get their toes done, which can provide some nice viewing entertainment. The thing I can't stand though is the ladies who wear sandals and when they are walking away, it's noticeable that their heels are either black from having walked around barefoot all morning long and they didn't wash 'em before leaving the house, or they have dry cracked heels, which looks bad as well. Don't some of these women realize their dirty ass feet are not pretty to look at? I can see why many people think feet are gross. Seems almost good enough to make you lose your foot fetish.

The funny thing is that the moment you tell a woman that she has pretty feet, the next thing out of her mouth is something like, "Oh, you have a foot fetish". So I'm thinking, why not say, "Hey darling', nice tits you have there". Do you think she will say, "Oh, you have a titty fetish, hee hee hee" ?? No, she'll tell you to take a hike or she'll walk away.

There are no women in Northern California who like their feet the way a foot man would want them to.

man its good to be back up in here. anyways i started a similar topic like this up a while back and i wanted to know the same reason why some women make there feet look so good yet think its gross for a guy to like them. im a bartender at my job and i see many feet all the time. so many women come in showing there feet off with different color polishes and toerings and all that nice stuff. yet about 80% think men who like feet are strange. so i got the balls one day to ask a few of them why they feel this way and if so then why make your feet look like they are asking for attention. there responses were pretty much all the same. they believe that they want there feet to look nice just for them and them only. they just like to take care of there body and do it for them cause it makes them feel good knowing that they have nice feet. but as for men like us they dont want us touching there feet they would rather us stare at there tits or ass. in this world we live in people make feet a fetish. many think men like us are freaks or weirdos. yet none of us are we just appreciate the beauty of a womans body part thats all. it will never change or be realized because of so many ignorant people who just follow what everyone else is saying. its very upsetting because for some people there fetish is a huge part of there life. i myself would never date a woman with ugly feet and i know most of you agree. so in closing i will say i agree with you all, but there is nothing we can do about it but be happy for the women out there that enjoy showing off there pretty feet and do like our fetish and hope that there group continues to grow.

I, for one, loved to paint my toes, buy the toe rings and anklets and wear the pretty sandals cuz I love my feet.I wasn't doing it to get noticed for my feet. I never realized that it was a turn on for some guys. It wasn't until I meet my foot fetish b/f that I became aware of the foot fetish world. That being said......, I totally agree with Patrick in saying that it IS DEFINATELY... all in the approach. For starters, my b/f would say that I was beautiful from top to bottom. Then move on to a foot massage, a VERY, VERY good one! . And so on...( I'm stopping there cuz I have to... ) I really can't say how I would of reacted if the whole approach were different, but it definately would of slowed his pleasures of my learning experiences down!!!! I never experienced the massages, toe sucking or worship until I met him. Now that I have???.......I say & !!!! Man.......!! Am I ever making up for lost time!!!

here's a little story. This was back before i knew about the whole foot fetish thing. I was working at tower records, putting away CDs and i was wearing shorts and flip flops. This was before i started painting my toenails regularly, too so i had on just a coat of clear polish on. so i was minding my own business, putting back CDs and this older man, about in his 50s or late 40s came up to me and i asked if he needed help finding anything. he's says "no, but those are really nice sandals, where did you get them?" i was kinda confused because, let me tell you they were NOT nice sandals haha. i wore them all the time so they were all worn. the soles of them were straw or something and it was all wearing away and they were just black, crappy flip flops, come on. So i said "uhm, i got the on santa monica pier in California" and then he goes "ohh, i'm just asking because i manufacture shoes and i think these are on of mine, do you mind if i check the label on the inside?" so now i was reeeeally confused and i just kinda absent mindedly slipped my foot half way out so he could see the label and i was shocked when he got down on his knees in the middle of the store to "see the label" so he starts to touch my shoe and he goes "oh, this is really nice, is that straw?" and he starts to cop a feel of my feet. soooo even though i didnt know what a foot fetish really was until then i certainly knew this guy had one and he was just being a creepy old man so i said "uhhh, yep" put my foot back in my shoe and walked away. just about 8 months later i saw this guy at tower again and at this point i had started dating my ex who had a foot fetish so i knew all about it and loved it. I had my toenails painted a metallicy cherry red and he said "nice polish, your toes look amazing" i just laughed knowingly and said thanks.

here's the moral of my story since i rambled too much and it cut me off. the moral in (and this is in my case)i love foot fetishes and i couldnt date a guy who didnt have one. (i have hot feet and i would be sooooo annoyed if a guy i dated didnt appreciate them. but before i knew about it some creepy guy completely being a pervert would make any girl think that guy's a freak. if some man came up and asked me if he could see my bra and tried to cop a feel, i'd deck him. same thing applies with feet. but if someone just comments that i have nice feet i dont mind at all and it's flattering. i know not all girls enjoy getting attention showed to their feet like i do but i also know a lot of girls will get into it if they like you and that's what turns you on.

Ive been thinking this now for a little while after Ive actually seen some of the thinking on here in action, unreal.

"No, no, no ..... no men feet please, and I hope this does not become a trend. Not only are men feet in general very ugly, it is very "not man" like to let a girl suck his toes. Men are supposed to be tough, and women are supposed to be the fine and delicate partner in the relation that needs to be pampered."

If you pick apart these statements with all the 'men are supposed to be's', and 'women are supposed to be's', there you have your answer for society's general outlook on us. These are the types of labeling that the people do who look down on anything out of the norm and label us as whatever suits them. For US to be thinking this way seems, pardon me for saying this, profoundly and hilariously stupid. If we ourselves cant even be open-minded, then this will always be looked upon as a 'fetish', and not as a unique part of the person's sexual identity. IMO, having a foot fetish then turning around and saying that things with men and women 'should be' certain ways, and calling other things 'weirder' or 'grosser' than a foot fetish weird or gross, you look like a joke. I dont know why this stuff is so hard to understand but one thing is for sure, I have been wasting my time trying to get my point across so after this Ill stop. Some of us really need to wake up, seriously, why do you think women respond badly to your love of their feet if you yourself are uncomfortable with it and always looking for other things to compare it to and say, 'its not as weird/bad/gross as THAT!' lollll

I totally agree on that.
It's the main reason why IMO most girls get turned off by foot fetishist.

Another important aspect has been already pointed out by MissMcKenzie,who said "It's kind of a "why feet?" and "how do I react to this?" thing".

Of course it's up to us to make the impact with our fetish soft and enjoyable for our partners/friends who are not into our feet world (hopefully who are not YET ) by being patient and of course NOT PUSHY with our requests.

everyonehere has mentioned a perfectly good reason to this. i've come across many girls who hate feet but love there own. they think everyone else's is nasty but that theres are beautiful. i've also come across the ones that dont want there being touched or anything else. agreeing with calico jack many women see our fetish as a crazy one if they dont know about it. on tv, the radio, or if you hear conversations people make fun of us who love feet. we are and always will be looked down upon. i've heard so many time "eewwww how can you like feet?" and for the most part some foot men get way outta hand with it and ruin it for the rest of us. i've always said and i know most of you have on this forum too that its all about the approach. i dated a girl that hated feet and yet after i worked my charm on her she loved showing hers, but only around me. still this was worth it and she would let me have my way with them. certain girls get approached the wrong way. its the same as when they get hit on by a guy. the problem is with many girls or people in general if they have 1 bad expereince with something, then they tend to say they will never try it again. in our case if its with a guy with a foot fetish, then we all suffer.
i dont think all girls really hate feet, i just think most of them dont like ayone else's but there own.
i know this is off topic but i look at it this way: i dont like any other mans chest but i like mine
get what im saying?
