First glance/sight/blind date and/or internet turn offs

But, in your OP, you said that from the start there's some kind of physical attraction. So, with that, if I like her, and she's someone I'm physically attracted to, and someone I could see myself as friends with first, then I would hang out with her until she eventually takes off her shoes, which always happens after a few dates. If her feet are jacked, then I just gained a friend. If she has pretty feet, then we can move to the next level.

All I can do is boggle at the idea of diagnosing someone's feet through their shoes...

And being opposed to flat feet? They're just feet O.o

LOL. What he said about toes pertruding through the shoe is not necessarily accurate because it could just be horrible shoes. But it can also be a sign of Paris Hilton feet--long feet and long toes. Not cute. You can definitely see someone's feet through open toed and peep toes shoes, and from the top of women's feet and heels. I can see men's feet during the warmer months when they wear flip flops or man sandals. I love seeing a man who is well-kept because even when I don't paint my toe nails, I don't wear foot revealing shoes if my feet are ashy or anything of the sort.

I disagree that they're just feet. Feet shape posture and walking. A flat foot can make some basic things more difficult/awkward and even painful particularly for women as compared to men. Having a jacked up arch and jacked up toes can do something to you. For instance, women who wear stilettos everyday can end up messing up their toes and feet as well as their posture. I know women who had to get surgery to remove corns and fix their toes and the same can happen to people who wear flip flops (or other flat shoes without a cushion) all the time. That's what happened to Tyra Banks.

None of this is the same as having rough feet that can be fixed with a pedicure and some lotion. LOL.

This may just be an example of Your Kink Is Not My Kink (and by You I mean PB) but while flat feet certainly can cause posture issues and cause other pain they're also not typically considered strikingly unattractive the way other podiatry issues may be. And he was talking about looking at feet through shoes. It's possible that it's just that my turn off is guys staring at my feet long enough to try and imagine every single callous...

But then, YKINMK

NaNoWriMo is affecting me in ways I never imagined. I'm having tremendous fun making up things YKINMK could stand for.

Your Kevlar Is Not Mom's Kevlar
Yes, Koala Intercourse Never Makes Kangaroos
You Know It's Not Mortal Kombat
Yo, Keep It Near My Knees
You're Kinky In Nevada. Mmm-Kay?

I was going to try to post something to stay on topic, but honestly, I had to look again to see what the topic is. And that distracted me from my YKINMK project. So screw it. I'm ok with having hijacked this thread. Carry on.
