A guy question, a dilemma

[ttusa]

I have foot problems, so I can't wear all those cute shoes like most ladies, but I have shoes for walking, hiking, sort of hiking, and teaching- girls just like shoes!

As long as you look to external sources to feel that way, you'll never have enough to be satisfied.

As for the shoe issue itself, it's a mystery to me. My wife has something like 40+ pairs and she still feels that she needs more.

I was looking at a house today off highway 90 in Sugarland. One of the features was his/hers shoe closets in the master bedroom. His shoe closet had over 160 pairs of size fourteens lining the walls! I used to think it was a girl thing...

Somebody needs to introduce that guy to cameras and/or guns while he's still got a smidgen of his masculinity left.

Sounds like a professional athlete.

I'm just glad that my wife likes shoes (and purses) instead of cameras, guns, guitars, mandolins, flyfishing equipment, and other COOL stuff like that. We'd definitely be broke if she liked all that stuff too.


I have learned to not say ANYTHING about a new purse or a new pair of shoes. A few years ago, we went to the Florida Keys. I booked a flyfishing guide for an entire day of bonefishing off Islamorada. Darlin' went with me, and she sat in the boat the entire day without ever complaining or begging to go ashore to pee or anything. I spent a full day casting to fish after fish and spooking most of them. (Flyfishing for bonefish on the flats is INCREDIBLY challenging - and fun.) I landed this ONE fish all day. That one fish cost me about $1,000 in guide fee, tip, extra equipment I needed, etc. - not counting the rest of the cost to go to Florida for a week.

The next day, we drove to Key West. We were walking around that weird little village, and we came upon Earnest Hemmingway's old house. It's now a museum and home to a bunch of six-toed cats. It cost $10/head to take the tour, and Darlin' REALLY wanted to go in. I said, "You really want to waste TWENTY DOLLARS on THIS?"................MISTAKE!!!!

I will spare you the rest, but things like that make me appreciate my Darlin's weird vices.

wow maybe renae and i are the minority on shoes lol or maybe I am I have one pair of sneakers and one pair of flats that pretty much covers my bases.

[pippin]

nope. i'm in the minority also. I hate shopping for shoes.

My dad once told me that it was because women evolved from centipedes.... then again, he aways told me that out of earshot of mom...

He was. Now he's an assistant coach for the Sonics, and I think that's why he's moving. His name is Mark Bryant. He played mostly for Portland before becoming a journeyman. He had one year with the Rockets -- 95-96.

Nice house, though at 2.6 million, it was a wee bit out of my price range. And I think he could probably buy all the camera gear he wanted, and still supply his shoe habit.

Lupe took the girls shopping, and came home with SIX new pair of shoes each....
