One of my really good friends (just friends) thinks like PB in a sense. It dosen't bother any of us, because that is a preference.

If I brought a woman home to meet the parents and they saw the ankle bracelet, that would be bad news, but that's not why I don't like them. It just says something to me about the girl, that's all.

I can understand that. One day when I was around eleven or twelve, I asked my mother if I could get an ankle bracelet and she told me they were for older girls or grown up women or something along those lines.

I just didn't quite realize those thoughts were held. Love GC! You learn something new everyday!

A lot of women like it. I hate it.

^^^^Used to wear a dainty DST 14K gold anklet until the clasp broke. Will be getting it fixed for the summer. Has always loved pretty anklets.

Hmmmm.... this is the first that I've heard of the anklet stereotype. I've been wearing anklets for years and I have never had anyone look down upon me because of it. I've worn them to various churches, on dates, etc... and it's never been a problem. I simply view anklets as accessories. But this is very interesting to know that people have this belief about anklets.

Yeah, I know people who wear ankle bracelets too and they look tasteful to me.

My question is: what kind of stilettos are you referring to because I always wear stilettos as I'm sure most of the women on GC are as well.

So what does all of this mean . . .that I need to take off my ancle bracelet??? Like I've probably said on another board, my family is from the U.S Virgin Islands, and in St. Thomas from the young infant to the old great grandmother and everyone in between, about 99.99% of people there wear jewlery and ancle bracelets are not uncommon. I mean having a lot of gold jewlery and custom pieces are just part of the style.
Since Kindergarten, I've worn a lot of gold jewelry. Not because i'm trying to be fast, extra bold, ghetto, or to be seen . .. but rather because it's part of my culture & I like the way gold looks on my nice brown skin.

I have never gotten any flack for my jewelry or my ancle bracelet (that I've been wearing for about a year now) . . . and hopefully I never will, 'cause if a dude is willing to look and me a take a pass before he even gets to know me, then he clearly doesn't want to meet a beautiful, welll educated, honest young woman, with a strong moral compass plus plethora of other skills . . . I am more than willing to let him miss out

I'm just not interested in women that wear stilettos. They make her look like a slut to me.

Not me, I can't walk in them. But they do look good on you. They tend to flatter a woman's legs, imo.

WOuld it be safe to assume that a reason you don't like ankle braceltes is because you know how your parents feel, so it is in a way a part of your thinking as well? I am not knocking what you feel, because I won't wear certain jewelery if it is too big or draw too much attention.

No, I didn't know my dad didn't like them until I told him how much I hated them. He laughed and said he didn't like them either. I'm not sure how my mom feels about them. I guess the women that wear them just are the total opposite of me, and I like more plain, nerdy women who are very pretty but don't need to wear anything loud or provacative to look beautiful. You can't always judge a book by it's cover, but sometimes outer appearance has a reflection on the inner beauty too.

I like the "natural" look too. Along the lines of Gabrielle Union, Halle Berry, and Sania Lathan. They have that, "I look sexy in the morning" look to me! That's what turns me on. Tattoo placement is a big thing for me too! I once met this girl in a club and we went on the first date. Well, along the lines of conversation came tattoos! So she asked about mine and I told her where they are (two on each arm and one on my chest). Needless to say I asked where hers was. She takes off her jacket (she was wearing a backless shirt underneath) and her tattoo went from shoulder to shoulder and from the top of her back to the bottom! I was like !

LMAO at your reaction to the tattoo.
