Version II. Just got herself to read 'The Idea'. First response wasn't great. I was again (verbally) reminded I'm not perfect, and my liking heels is another thing [in addition to everything else that makes me less than perfect], which makes our relationship something of a struggle for her sometimes. It's important to understand what I'm saying. Preamble: Lets propose I'm untidy, and lazy. Me being untidy and lazy, might be fully acceptable in my relationship. Maybe not attractive, but acceptable. Lets propose, I'm untidy and like heels. Me being untidy, and liking heels, might be fully acceptable in my relationship. Maybe not attractive, but acceptable. Lets propose I'm untidy, lazy, and like wearing heels. This could or would probably be either getting to, at, or past a breaking point.... The problem in this scenario, isn't an interest in heels, it's the on-going balance of demand (mine) and supply (hers) ... of 'goodwill' in the relationship and the latitude I need to enjoy my interest. Like any enthusiastic sports supporter, I'd like to wear my team colours all the time and I'd imagine that would be a little wearing to any partner. So there are a least a couple of other contributory ingredients that might make up a full response to The Idea? @shyguy: Mrs Freddy (who you've met) initially replied after reading the first post of the thread; "You either accept it or you don't. The amount of shoes you have [i have] and the amount of time you spent buying them last year, was hard to deal with, especially on top of everything else we had to cope with ... " In the light of the preamble, her response is fully understandable. Further, I've had it suggested to me, if I get the house 'sorted' (aka modernised and decorated), I might even get some shoes bought for me. Rather sadly, I like decorating just about as much as most men would like to put their heads in a pan of boiling chip-fat. So it'll be a little while before herself treats me to some heels.... ;-) So put succinctly, Mrs Freddy feels the partner to a man wearing heels is going to find the situation tolerable, or intolerable, based on how 'easy-going' the partner herself is, and how much she enjoys the relationship with the male heel wearer. ...

Seems to be. Members post something most days. Lets see if we add positive remarks to this thread and let the other (currently most read) post, sink to the bottom of the page? :-( As I write, there are 36 'guests', and while some of these might be Yahoo or Google robots (3), most won't be. ;-) which means even occasional viewers are finding something here to read. Time for some 'glass half full' comments!

Think I'll be in Oxford Street (as usual) this Thursday evening..... I'll have some female company with me, also as usual. We may eat around 8.30pm [at

Well chaps ..... (oh ye of little faith) ...... :-( Just about everytime I've ever logged in here, I've been greeted by a prompt that told me the "most logged on users" was 44 in (IIRC) October 2006. No longer true ..... ;-)

I know that feeling .... :-( Well done. You're a great example to us all. ;-)

I think that was a very good idea. :-( And certainly I've recognised some of the 'names' from HHplace arriving. But with the exception of HFMROK and Euchrid and some of the mods, few seem to have made many contributions here recently? ;-) The handful of new posters seem to be completely 'new' as it were?

There has never been truer words written (or spoken). ;-) And a small number of us are waiting to help you do that matey. :-(

Shame you won't be meeting up. Perhaps another time? ;-) Actually, you sound a bit like a friend I have in one of the financial sectors (maybe from your Island) who might have similar challenges in his field, were high heels an indulgence ..... I too share a similar problem, in that the people within my industry would not tolerate an active interest like mine if it were to become public. :-(

If that notion were promoted in HHplace, I'd expect a considerable increase in membership here..... :grin: Not that this site isn't doing too badly on it's own. 100 new members in 3 months. Moving toward double that achieved in the previous two years. Something here must be working. :cool: When I start taking pictures of my shoe/boot collection to link for the membership, and provide a reference listing on sizing, I'm fairly confident the site will see more traffic. ;-) If there's a single aspect of HHplace that differentiates itself, it's the pictures.... .....

I started my public heeling, by walking around at night when most sane folk were tucked up in bed. The frustration of the situation meant I progressed to wearing heels (but not stilletoes) out to large shopping malls and exhibition venues fairly soon afterwards. I've worn stilletoes - once - along Oxford Street. Gaps in the pavement wrecked the heels, so I doubt I'll ever do that again. I own some stunning shoes and boots now, some with pencil thin heels, and I'm practically BURSTING to wear some of them out socially. :grin: While I could disguise the heel under long trousers, I could never disguise the change in the way I would have to walk in them. :cool: Gotta happen soon ..... .....

Sounds like there might be a big chunk of water between you and the mainland. :cool: No chance of you meeting up with any of us then, and enjoy the support of like minded people taking you out somewhere in heels? If you do ever come over to London though .... :grin: .....

Aaaah, 20/20 hindsight is a wonderful thing. :cool: I had cut 'n' paste some of the content to Notepad, but then changed the whole bias of the post. I perhaps need to re-write it, and share Mrs Freddy's remarks. :grin: .....

D'you know, I never dream that I'm wearing heels, even when I've slept in them .... :grin: [Only slept in them 3 times though.] ....

Let me be the first to welcome you to the site. :cool: 24 years old and into wearing heels? Jeez, how lucky are you? :grin:

I'll have to be careful with my comments then. :cool: ;-) I make no secret to wearing womens jeans as these come in better fitting materials (read stretchy) and longer leg lengths. [32W 34L.] Primark are starting to do mens jeans in these sizes, and I already have 4 pairs! Some tops that I wear as base layers, are also only available in womens styles. [Read long-sleeved T-shirts, or collarless polo shirts? :grin: But nothing with a scalloped neck! :-o] And lastly, some of my boots are so 'snug' on my feet, there's only room for hose, rather than sock. I suppose that makes me a cross-dresser, but I always look like a man, and dress in a manly style. No coloured bangles or lipstick either.

I accept the comment about 3 members visiting. But while here yesterday, I noticed there were a larger number of guests viewing the site, and I'm sure they wouldn't have all been Search Engine robots listing content. It's a Catch 22 situation really. Visitors come to see new posts. If there's nothing new to read, then people don't bother visiting. When I visit, I try to post something, even if it's only where/when I'm wearing heels in public next and can be met by other men in heels. Successful sites, like Rome, aren't built overnight. There's been a significant increase in the membership recently. [Trebled in size.] With 4 or 5 motivated contributors each making (say) 3 posts a day, there'd be 12 to 15 posts to read most days. I'm sure when the less verbose get used to visiting and reading, they too might start to contribute.... So what makes 'entertaining' posts to high heelers? Since we live in a visual society, anything with pictures will be welcome. The history of any two people will not be identical, so these unique sequences will be of interest. If not to everyone one of us, then maybe to spouses trying to understand the 'how and why' of our interest. Daily/weekly incidents/experiences. A kind of mini-blog perhaps? Where to buy, what to buy, special deals on offer. Reminders of short term sales from large stores, or the odd pair of interesting shoes/boots/sandals on auction sites. Links would be helpful. Anyone? :grin:

Now beyond 160 members, and the site struggles to get one post per day? :grin: Think I need to start a "My Shoe Collection" thread. That'll get people talking. :cool:

Beginning to look like Oxford Street this Thursday evening. :grin: Spent the weekend working in the garden, so haven't managed to get to Primarni (Primark/Armani) to shop for long/straight/dark jeans. They have a style I like at the moment, at

Does your wife know you are getting turned on by wearing girls clothes? I'm thinking that if she did, she might be less inclined to insist you dress up as a woman. As for you enjoying it, what could (would) any of us say? .... "Don't"? ....:grin: If you're enjoying it, the best you can hope for, is controlled (by you) indulgence. So, enjoy. :cool: ;-)

I think Members List might be those who have posted, as opposed to those who have registered for membership...... ? It's an indication of how shy some of might be ..... Or how wise some might be? ~ Choosing not to write unless they have something "worth" writing.... :grin:

Looks like Camden as a starting point it is. :cool: I maybe have tripped myself up a bit though, as I dicovered at 9.30am today I'm working tonight, so will need to be going homeward at 6pm. :-D The job had been booked weeks ago, but I thought it was Saturday night. Turns out it's tonight AND Saturday. If it wasn't for the fact I'll be spending the evening around 70 to 80 girls at a party of 20-30 year olds, who will doubtless be wearing high heels, I might be tempted to cancel. But like most people, I need the money. ;-) ;-)

I'm trying, but I don't do anything in a hurry .... :cool: Symptom of my success, is some hard skin forming on the ball of my left foot. Until this appeared recently, I'd had the soft feet of a baby, all my life. :oops: Recent conversation with a neighbour as I passed him on the way out .... "Hey, what you got on your feet?" <pointing> "Cowboy boots" <with 4" heels> "Why are you wearing them?" <possibly thinking I was going line dancing :-D ;-)> "I like them" "Oh." This was in full daylight around 2pm. ;-)

"Heels" at dawn? :-D Does seem strange, to close parts of a Forum that were reasonably active? ..... If members of HHp were unhappy at sharing with men who had a taste for other feminine attire, why didn't those members just migrate here?

I recently had the opportunity to sleep in heels without the worry of stabbing the person I share a bed with. Dunno why I would want to sleep in heels, other than to shorten tendons, but I did try anyway. [i'm a bit wayward? ;-)] EVERY night I tried, I woke up with a cramp in my toes.... :-D :cool:

Perhaps 15 months ago .... While queueing at a Post Office, I was practically 'pressured' to move closer to the person in front of me, by the girl behind. Insistant I stand closer the person with a cold/flu in front, I offered her my position ~ which she took. :-D It gained her nothing, as we both got to the counter at the same time ..... About a week later, and while still in 'go out at midnight only' mode with my public heel wearing, I was out in my home town wearing some OTK boots under jeans. The noise from the heel was instantly recognisable, as was the pointed toe. I had thus far been moderately careful to avoid contact with anyone, and leaving home at midnight must have helped. ;-) The wife thought I was behaving a bit weird, but my desire to wear heels ~ having been ignored for over 20 years ~ was almost irrepressable. While out at what is a fairly desolate path and cycle crossing over a motorway, I approached the bridge sure I was alone. I hadn't noticed a fairly short girl, returning home from what was possibly a shift at a pub or restaurant somewhere. The concrete sides of the bridge had hidden all but her head, which due to my other preoccupation (walking in heels) I had missed. :cool: Only 3 or 4 yards from me, I noticed her. Still as many yards from the bridge entrance, I was able to walk onto the grass verge of the path, and wait for her to pass. [The grass covered the noise of my boots.] Standing still to let the girl pass, I turned away from her. Though she hadn't recognised me, I had remembered her as being a local I met in the Post Office a week before, and I didn't want her to remember me at all. ;-) The corner we passed at was well lit, as was the bridge and the pathway from it. I waited for her to pass, which she did, but she didn't carry on walking...... Now ... Mindful she had already shown a lack of social grace by asking me to move along a corridor at the Post Office, I shouldn't have been surprised she stopped and started to speak to me. My home town isn't an inner city, but we were 200 yards from the next/nearest person (who would have been aleep behind locked/bolted door and windows), and I'd suggest 12:15am in such an isolated spot, probably wasn't the most prudent time/place to start a conversation ~ but she did ...... Firstly, she wanted to know if I was alright, and did I need any help? No, I was fine, I just wanted to be left alone. [boy did I want to be left!] But she was worried about my proximity to the motorway, the time of day, and my wish to be alone. I assured her I was fine, and only wanted to be left in peace. Took almost ten minutes to convince her, but eventually she left. Usually, I'm keen to promote acts of kindness, but this one embarressed me so much, it took a couple of days for me to 'fess up to my nearest and dearest. ;-) Fortunately I've not seen her since. We are a University town, with plenty of transient habitants. Hopefully, she is/was, one of them. :oops: Now, somewhat more experienced with street-walking around the general populace, I would just keep walking across the bridge should it happen again. [Thinking about it, late last year while out with my walking partner, it did. 4 or 5 youths walked across the bridge we were on, from the opposite direction, me with nowhere to go except forward. We passed the group, on the much smaller railway bridge, and I don't remember anyone noticing or passing comment.] I suspect confidence is the main difference in these two situations. The first incident happened before I'd ever worn heels in daylight, and only worn them publically in Clubs or Balls some 20+ years before. While I'm still a bit self-aware at the start of every trip out in heels, I'm a lot more complacent about the reaction [when there is some], from others. While I'm fairly discreet, I do get 'made' from time to time. So far, without adverse comment. Had a passing smile once or three times, a giggle from one of two off-duty Clarins advisors browsing in the store they worked in (still in uniform), but otherwise ~ no adverse reaction at all..... So far, so good. :cool:
