> [@MeanOldLady](#): > > Yes [you did](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=11386096&postcount=125). I stand corrected. I stand by the concept that a woman can be as sexy in ballet flats as she can in FMPs. I am guilty of using the shorthand FM ballet flats to convey that. My apologies. My point was (and is) that FMPs do not automatically make the wearer sexy. I agree that FMPs do send a message, but as was said upthread, itā€™s a narrow range one and the signal can become mixed. **Mal** ā€“you look cute as hell with that party hooter. Do you like my new muumuu? \ I didnā€™t know I had a horse face. Iā€™ve been called many things in my time, but horse faced, muumuu wearing partyhatter is a first for me. ---

Forget the muumuu, if you are wearing your FMBFs does that mean you can reach behind your head and grab your leg while balancing on one foot (whatever that particular dance position is called)? Cuz if you can, you look DAMNED good. From a platonic perspective, of course, given that I am married. ---

From a platonic perspective, of course, given that I am married. Sadly, I donā€™t own a muumuu. And tragically, I cannot assume that particular position (back issues from lifting patients for 20 years). I have started to take some yoga classes, thoughā€¦ \<ā€œplatonicā€ leer at\*\* Algher\*\*\> šŸ˜‰ ---

You know whatā€™s even more fun than typing ā€œmuumuu?ā€ Writing ā€œmuumuuā€ in script. Try it. Itā€™s like a physical tongue twister. ---

> [@Michael\_Ellis](#): > > Part of being in a stable, healthy relationship is respecting the other personā€™s wishes. So heā€™s not feeling up to getting hot and sweaty enough with you? Deal with it or have an affair or something. Yeah, but respecting another personā€™s wishes means paying attention to their sexual needsā€“and their need to feel sexually attractive (which can be just as important). **Mom-of-Andrew** you have my sympathy. But if I were you, I would try to put my hurt feelings aside and see if you can figure out what really turns on Mr. M. Itā€™s posible that mini-skirts and fmn shoes arenā€™t his thing and maybe something that is heā€™s reluctant to tell you aboutā€“he may never have told anyone about it. And if there really isnā€™t some special thing that rings his bellsā€“if he just has no sexual appetiteā€“I agree that it could be something worth discussing with a doctor. It could be a physical health issue or depression. ---

This thread has got me to look up what an Amy Winehouse song title word means (Fuck Me Pumps). > [@](#): > > **From Wikipedia:** > > In North America, pumps (court shoes in British English) are heeled shoes with low cut fronts and usually no fastening, but can also be formal shoes for any gender. The type of womenā€™s shoe referred to as a pump is somewhat similar in overall shape to the handles of old-fashioned manual well pumps, possibly accounting for the name. Uh, thanks guys.
