Okay, that shit is hilarious.

Despite wether or not it making fun of “Celtic” feet, my foot is more of a natural cross of the “Egyptian” and “Roman” feet depicted here.

A long time ago I met a girl with a really long second toe. Turns out girls don’t like being told they have monkey feet.

I’ve been told I have beautiful feet (and my second toe is longer), so there! Also, a podiatrist told me that having a longer second toe is referred to as “Morton’s Foot.” Greek Foot is much more interesting.

I’ve got Greek feet, and like posters above with Roman feet, had no idea that there were different types and preferences until years later. That said, I’ve got no real preference… well, looking at that chart, I think the Germanic and Celtic feet look weird.

What’s beautiful to me is being able to pick things up w/ my glorious slightly longer toes.

Cross between the Roman and Egyptian here too. First two are the same length then they get progressively smaller.

But I can still pick things up with them:D

Heck, I only just discovered it by reading this thread! I’m surrounded by mutants with non-Roman feet?!

I voted don’t care because her feet would literally be the last thing I would care about on a woman.

Roman foot here.

That’s why you just say, “you must have a wonderful personality.”

Me too! I could probably fire a six shooter with my feet and nail every target.

Although, the idea of pulling the trigger with an extra long second toe is kinda creeping me out.

I labored under the same delusion until I realized my first boyfriend suffered a wicked foot fetish (or rather, I suffered). The subsequent fellas fell quite short of worshipping at the Alter of Piggy; alas, I discovered that feet are quite a pedestrian feature after all.

Regardless of sex, among those that care, the Egyptian foot is the choice by far, with a 46 - 18 advantage.

Okay, now I don’t feel so bad. So, if your second toe is freakishly longer, maybe the other three toes aren’t the proper decending lengths either? Weird.

All toes, and feet for that matter, should look like mine. I have absolutely beautiful feet; they’re more beautiful than feet have a right to be, that is according to my wife and former girlfriends.

My toes form a perfect stair-step pattern from my big toe down to the pinky toe, as they should on all feet. Feet with longer second toes are abominations…ABOMINATIONS, I tell ya.

I must say, in all humility, that if you ever saw my feet, you’d want to bow down and kiss them. Yeah, they’re that beautiful and wondrous.
