What do women want – Shoes! As I’m writing this, my eyes are drawn to the chaotic shoe rack I have in the corner of my room. By a woman’s standards, I don’t have very many. I only own 10 pairs of stilettos, wedges, platforms, sandals, trainers and the weathered sneakers. If I could peg down a number of shoes that women on the average own, it would probably be around 15-20 pairs. We don’t bat our eyes at this because as women, we understand why we need that many pairs of shoes. Now for you, the male reader, it is an enigma and one I would be happy to crack for you. Most men I know have around 3 to 5 pairs of shoes but even that number is pushing it. I suppose it’s because men are so “practical” as opposed to women who favour style and flare above comfort. I know this because I would be lying if I said that 5 inch stilettos don’t make my feet wish they were amputated at the end of the night. So why do we torture ourselves and buy so many? There’s an easy explanation and a longer one. The easier one is because let’s face it, stilettos are hot. A woman who slips on a pair instantly feels like a supermodel sauntering around the streets of Milan with a hot Italian man waiting to wine and dine her. It boosts our confidence, makes our legs look miles longer and at times we feel like we’re channeling Victoria Beckham (who by the way, has a shoe collection I would kill for but my feet will probably kill me first). A little discomfort is a small price to pay but one that women remit every month anyway. We need an enormous amount of shoes simply because every pair has its own identity. If you slip on a pair of flats, it means you’re taking it easy that day. A pair of sexy f*ck me Jimmy Choos simply means come here and get some tiger. Kitten heels means you feel playful and cute. Gladiator heels mean you’re in control. And as you can imagine, the list goes on and on. It can make a harried housewife who has spent the whole day cleaning and chasing after children feel beautiful and wanted or a VP of am MNC commanding the power in her realm on the heels of her Prada’s. So fellas, don’t complain or roll your eyes when your woman brings home another pair of shoes to add to her collection. Smile, nod your head, tell her she looks amazing and who knows? She might buy a pair of f*ck me’s to use in your bedroom. Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites         |
