It’s probably the height thing, gorgeous. I’m a 5’10″, blonde, low-maintenance Amazon normally, but all it takes is a little red lipstick & something dramatic & black (most of my going-out wardrobe) & they start coming out of the woodwork. I attracted mostly submissive types for YEARS before being pounced on by my equally tall (6’5″) soulmate. My favourites:

I was, admittedly, at my favourite goth bar. Felt something odd down by my foot & looked down to see the most ENORMOUS man (6.5 feet, 350 lb.s, easy) licking my toes through my peep toe shoes. I asked the woman he seemed to be with to rein him in. “Henry!! ASK first!”

The next was a small, middle-aged, plump & bespectacled gent asking quite politely if I would saran-wrap him naked to a pillar & ignore him for a hew hours. When I equally politely declined, he asked plaintively if I needed a footstool before departing.

How does one discover one has a taste for saran-wrapping in the first place? It must have been quite the sandwich-making accident.

Plumcake darling! You didn’t play this one right! You tell him “maybe” if he finds you the right shoe! And make sure he knows what your favorites are (Monolo, Prada, Ferrigama….) As he presents each pair of shoes, Lightly grind your foot on the GROUND (not groin) and tell him he failed and needs to go out and try again. that should be good for at least 2 to 3 pairs of the superfantastic shoes and only THEN do you kick this freak’s ass to the curb….

I…don’t even know.

Maybe you are just too confident for their puny little brains to handle, so they short out and become masses of stupidity and rudeness.

I get these requests too. And I never know quite what to do in the middle of them being asked of me. Leaving seems so rude, but then so was the request.

I think it’s because I celebrate the curves, I’m confident, but I can’t seem to quite go beyond Southern propriety. The “no” is there, but I can certainly see how there’s also an unspoken “yes, and so much more”. That seems to bring out the most passive, freaky men–neither of which I was looking for.

Oh Plumcake, I can tell you now, the man for you will recognize and respect your shoes. Or at least your relationship with them.

My Boy knows better than to disparage my shoes or suggest such things. He’d sooner make comments about my mother or my best friend than speak ill or filthy words re: my new gorgeous suede boots, for example.

(Tho a well turned compliment is always appreciated.)

PS, I do agree, let us see these wonderous shoes!

Well Plumcake, I’m not tall, but I have had some pretty “interesting” requests/suggestions on first dates. I sometimes wonder if it’s because I’m a woman who is confident with her body. I know I put off a somewhat sexual vibe (I’m curvy and not afraid to celebrate that) but that doesn’t mean common decency should go out the window. I recently had a man I barely know launch into all the things he’d like to do to me before we’d even gotten the check for dinner. How do these men think this is OK? Can’t they see that we’re women who deserve to be treated with respect?
Sorry, I’ll get off my soapbox now. You just hit one of my big pet peeves.

Plumcake, best that you were tipped off to this sooner, rather than later. Any man that would ask you to desecrate shoes like that on a FIRST DATE is not worth your super-fantasticness.
