Right now there is a shoes-in-the-house thread, a PITA thread, Tarantino vs Uma Thurman’s feet, and who knows what other threads that mention the attractiveness of feet. I’ve heard umpty-ump women complain about the attractiveness of their feet and/or ankles.
All this just leaves me gape-mouthed. So what? Who cares? Feet are just the things at the end of your legs that keep you from falling over. Now I can see the attractiveness of a well-shaped butt, the convex curves of a breast, the soft skin of the inner thigh as it leads upward to the gently curling… erk… umm… never mind all that.
Uma Thurmann’s feet are nasty. I’d have a hard time looking at her with her shoes off. Beyond that it’s not a huge deal, just freakish looking feet are a bit off putting.
I guess I don’t really care that much. I mean, if I could, I’d trade my own feet in for the next larger size, but of all the crosses I bear, that’s the one that would most comfortably hang from a chain around my neck. My wife occasionally complains about her feet, but I’m all like, “Yes, dear, whatever you say, dear” about that.
I like women’s feet, but men’s feet are usually rather ugly. I think nearly any body part could be beautiful, though. I have pretty feet, or I did before I started going barefoot so much.
Within a very wide range, it doesn’t matter a bit to me and lots of other stuff does. I dodn’t understand why some women get pedicures so much. It seems like a pretty useless service to me. If there are any really issues, see a podiatrist otherwise just snip and be done with it. Between the shoes, pedicures, and foot binding in some places, I am not sure what is up with women and feet.
I think all the foot fetishists out there would disagree mightily with you!
I think feet are just like anything else upon which we base our attractiveness on. Think of the scene from “Boomerang” where Eddie Murphy sleeps with a very attractive woman - but her ugly feet cause him to drop her. Silly, but some people are that shallow.
Think about Chineses foot binding. Small feet were seen as treasured and desired, leading to hundreds of years of women binding the feet of thier daughters, causing atrophy, infections, and extremely deformed feet.
ETA: I remember the scene from Kill Bill, and I didn’t think Uma’s feet were nasty at all. There were pretty cool.
A tall, slim woman like Uma has long, slim feet? What’s remarkable about that? She probably has to look far and wide for shoes, but that doesn’t mean ugly to me. I wonder if she ever played piano. She could reach some chords with those fingers that the rest of us could only dream of.
When I dream of Uma, she is not playing the piano.
I spent high school en pointe, then the next 10 years running 10K races. I treated my feet horribly- I’m lucky that all 10 toenails grew back. During the time I was so physically active, sandals were not an option, and trips to the swimming pool were cringe-worthy. But now I’m grateful to have very pretty feet, and keep my toes manicured and wear sandals and sexy shoes year round. And I get compliments on my toes almost daily- I was under the impression that most men do notice nice feet. No?
