Why is it that females submit to pain and discomfort to appear beautiful, or sexy?

Question

Why is this? Why is it that woman shoves their feet into high heels killing their toes and i know its hard to walk in those things just to get maybe a few good looks.. or why is it that woman slip into a thong, i mean no one can honestly like wearing those right? its like a giant wedgie. Everyone picks wedgies... I get that sometimes you NEED to wear them , with skirts or tight clothing and you want to hide panty lines. but i still think its foolish.. i mean do you really care that much what people think of you?

Answer 1

I have been wearing Stiletto heels for the past seven years. I am very petite, (5’ -1”) and work in commercial real estate
sales, as you may know is a professional, competitive, environment dominated by men. My appearance is extremely important to me and I am not afraid to show my feminine side. When I am in public, or alone with a gentleman, I am always impeccably groomed, full makeup, my long hair styled, nails freshly manicured, matching thong and bra, cute designer outfit, and always a pair of heels. (I would absolutely mortified to be seen in flip flops or tennis shoes anywhere but the gym). I wear four inch heels (occasionally taller) on a regular basis and enjoy all the wonderful attention I receive from gentlemen.

I'm a woman who absolutely craves the attention of men. When I enter a room, I want to be noticed and admired,.I simply MUST be the most divine, enchantingly desirable creature in the room. Whenever I spend a evening with a man, I like to wear a higher heel. to fully show off my wonderful leg and peds.. Depending on the occasion, I may wear a 5 inch or even a higher heel.. (I generally limit heels over 5 and one half inches to only my most romantic and intimate moments), I generally only wear sandals with a extremely thin heel, and very thin straps. I love all the admiring looks I receive from gentlemen when I'm preaciously perched atop a pair of 5 inch stilletto heel sandals. True, it is extremely difficult to walk in these shoes, (valet parking is a must) but men are always available to take my arm.

.If I have gone out with a gentleman for a while and he truly appreciates and understands FULLY the effort and commitment I go through to make my legs and feet look beautiful, I may choose to wear a even higher heel.. When I wear heels of over five inches, I am totally dependent on my date to support me. ,because my feet are so extremely petite, and are bent almost like a ballarina's foot. I like to treat my legs and feet as fine leaded crystal stemwear, long ,thin,beautiful, yet unbelievably fragile! The gentleman must keep his arm around my slender waist at all times, so I can maintain my balance, and he must gently assist my every move. I am absolutely helpless, and my date must be attentive to my every need! I find it so romantic to be held by a man and dependant on him for my every move. I find that the heels bring us closer together as I must always be held by my date. I am very appreciative of being held and respond to my date with gentle caresses and loving kisses from my soft pouty lips.

Even after 7 years of wearing stilettos, I still feel so vulnerable, and unsteady, yet enchantingly glamorous and confident of myself while wearing my heels. I would never, ever, be caught dead in public, without being properly made-up, fashionably attired, perfumed, wearing coordinating accessories, and a pair of breathtaking high heels

Answer 2

It's all part of a set of esthetic rules. I don't really know why they have evolved to this point, but I guess it depends on which type of culture you're looking at. Different cultures have different esthetic rules. For example, chinese foot binding or neck stretching with the use of rings in the Padaung tribe and so on.
200 years ago, in our own culture, women had to wear extremly tight corsets which obviusly affected they're bone structure and organs.
If you look in Andrew Loomis' "Figure Drawing - For All It's Worth" you'll see that the ideal female proportions are illustrated using a naked female figure that wears low heels.
I guess people have always needed an excuse to practice masochism. But you know, it's not all that bad. Some women find thongs or high heels (or both) comfortable and don't wear them for the sake of other people's opinions. Women who don't find them comfortable just make other choices. It all depends on what makes you feel comfortable and confident.

Answer 3

Well honestly I don't feel my thongs anymore, Ive been wearing them every day for the last five years so they feel like regular under wear to me now lol.... As for the heels, i only wear ones I can stand, if they hurt to much they come off my feet and never go back on. I don't care what people think of me too much its always nice to have people notice you though. I usually do the things because I like the way it looks on me.

Answer 4

I think that women wear high heels because it makes themselves feel better. Some women have an obsession of shoes and they don't care how they feel. I personally, love to waer high heels but I only buy them if I can walk in them and they dont hurt. As for thongs, I wear tehm all the time and to me they are extremely comfortable. I don' t like waering reagular underware anymore because you can barely even feel the thong except for if its a little too big it can get a little high up there when u wake up in teh morning but other than that I think they are very comfortable. :)

Answer 5

Confidence. What you wear can make you feel great. Half the things I own are for ME not someone else. Thongs are kinda sick when u think about it but like you said sometimes you have to wear them. But I dont think for most people its about being sexy, I think its a nessesatiy. Its slutty though when a thong is being used to show of, no one want to see your underwear:/ I love heels! I love shoes, all shoes. Sometimes they dont hurt at all and are just as comfy as flip flops. Depends on the girl and shoe. But you should know those things can be comferatable and make a women feel confident with herself! She may not care what YOU think about her.

Answer 6

I don't care what people say or think about me! The most important thing is to feel myself comfortable. And I feel comfortable myself if I look good. I like being a girl I feel that women are so special. And high heels are cool! they're not that uncomfortable. You can use to it . And thongs are really cute :)

Answer 7

different women do it for different reasons
1) for men
2) for themselves i.e. to boost self esteem. which isn't actually a bad thing...
3) to feel good by looking good

i don't wear thongs and i don't wear high heels 'coz they hurt..i'm more of a practical person who would choose jeans and T-shirt to anything glamarous any time..
but i don't blame women for wanting to look good..it just makes the world seem like a brighter place to be in all of a sudden
try and see :)

Answer 8

Well, at the time, I wore the heels because they looked good with my outfits. (according to me!) It made me feel sexy. And I had the right height on the dance floor with my man.
Now? I'm paying the price. And I'm not talking about $$$.

Answer 9

Some heels are comfortable. But as far as the thong goes. Oh h3ll no, you wont catch me in one. They look trashy especially the ones that pull them up so they hang out of their pants.
