My feet are so big that I have to wear men’s shoes.
My feet don’t look gigantic though. The thing is, my feet are proportional to my size, but I’m very tall, so my feet are also big.
I’d honestly rather not. I couldn’t hear enough of her that day. She was acting like she had PMS version 6.0 or something. She cried, she cursed, she even started getting angry at me (what’d I do wrong?!) She’s still ticked about it to this day.
Haha about the skirt. Those men cried more than I do on my period (I tend to cry a lot).
On a similar note, she also tends to dress extremely suggestively. Probably a cultural thing, idk. She once wore a pair of shorts that I swore were sports panties…
I’m not too sure if I’d even wish kids on her lol.
She goes for a run EVERY morning, rain or shine. I’ll admit, she puts in the work, which is why she’s so slim. She’s 5’10" and only 100 lbs! She’s like a model…I’ll admit, as self-confident and progressive as I am, she sometimes makes me feel self-conscious.
What bitchy things to say—You have big feet/You’re a porker. ?? She’s going to have a hard time fitting in with that attitude.
You can take the high road and just ignore her, or you can be straight with her and say something like “I’m sorry you feel like you have to put me down in order to feel better about yourself.”
I don’t know if she’s turning other people off, too, but if she thinks her outside is pretty, it’s not matching her insides.
There are advantages to being fit, and to being slim. There are also advantages to not making fun of others and calling them names, and to not being so invested in a soccer game (or any number of other things that are beyond one’s control) that having your team lose ruins your whole week. I imagine that you look just fine, and from what I’ve read here I’d much rather spend time with you than with her.
(other than the canoes on the ends of your legs)
Nah, I limit myself to pink sparkly ones.
Americans do have larger feet than people in many other countries. I think it’s not just genes, I think it’s also because we let our kids wear larger, looser shoes. Feet conform to the space they have as they grow, to a large extent.
I figure that larger feet probably work a little better at holding your weight, though, so I see that as a good thing. 
Anyway, size 9.5 shoes sound a little on the large size to me, but not so much as to be worth commenting on, or even noticing. Have you considered looking for a different room mate?
So, foot binding?
I’m mystified that anyone notices or cares. My feet (and my sister’s feet) are slightly larger than my mother’s, but you know what? I didn’t jam them into heels or constraining shoes for decades. I also don’t have crippling toe deformities such as my mother and her generation are now needing to have surgically addressed after crunching their feet into small shoes in a Western version of foot binding. By my age, she was already hobbling. My feet are in great shape.
She sounds like a fucking nightmare. Any chance you can find a new room mate or another place to live? Nobody should have to live with this kind of poisonous vampire.
The two of us have a love-hate relationship. She’s surprisingly very trustworthy (she can keep any secret) and is a fairly agreeable person about 60% of the time. We weren’t that great of friends back in college, but living together as dorm mates got us used to each other. When we graduated, she wasn’t planning on heading back to Brazil, and I was planning on staying in Chicago, so the two of us decided to become roommates.
It’s the other 40% of the time that drives me nuts! :smack:
Well, at least you never have to worry about her borrowing your good shoes. 
Totally. She’s a size 6 in U.S. shoes, so she couldn’t even wear my shoes if she wanted to.
“My you have such big feet.”
“All the better with which to kick you in the ass.”
Haha, I laughed when I saw this thread.
Girl, you do not have big feet at all. I’m 5’11" and a size 13 in women’s.
Trust me, I WISH I had your shoe size. If I was living with your roommate, she’d get the biggest kick in the ass from me.
Sounds like you’re in good company! According to a new article you are around the same shoe size as - Angelina Jolie (size 9)
Michelle Obama (size 9)
Gwyneth Paltrow (size 9)
Naomi Campbell (size 8-9)
Elle Macpherson (size 10)
Scarlett Johansson (size 9.5)
Katie Holmes (size 9.5)
Kate Beckinsale (size 9.5)
So, how ya doin’?
I wear a 9 or 9-1/2 and as others have said, it’s such a non-issue. I can’t get over that she only weighs 100 pounds though. That sounds scary thin.
Nah. She’s got small feet, that’s all.
