    Reason Women
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the evolutionary implications of women wearing high-heeled shoes, particularly in relation to height and attractiveness to men. One hypothesis suggests that high heels provide women with a deceptive advantage in height, making them more appealing to taller males, which could enhance reproductive success. Participants debate the aesthetic and social perceptions of high heels, noting that they can create a more shapely leg appearance and may invoke a sense of vulnerability that some men find attractive. However, there are also concerns about the physical harm high heels can cause, with anecdotes of injuries and discomfort. The conversation touches on cultural aspects, comparing high heels to traditional Japanese and Chinese practices that restrict women's movement. Additionally, there are humorous tangents about personal experiences and opinions on leg attractiveness, shoe preferences, and the social dynamics surrounding high heels in various settings. Overall, the thread reflects a blend of evolutionary theory, personal anecdotes, and cultural commentary on women's fashion choices.

Dont listen to her, Evo. We do appreciate every picture you post, and we will continue to do so even if you become a nun. And then again, the "sisters" should no judge.

Well you might want to Google this but I "think" it's a nun who pestered her male higher -ups to the point that they made her a Reverend or an official Clergy (where there no women are allowed) against their better judgment and then they asked her to leave town because she was making a huge political tummel and they are all going to look like arses as soon as it gets to the higher ups until they realize they ARE the higher ups and then they pay her to go to university and learn physics which they know will keep her busy and make her look stupid.
She eventually "presides" or hangs around PF.

I've heard that too. But I think it just makes the leg look weird. I only remember one heel-wearing girl that I thought had nice legs -- and when I saw her without them they were even sexier.

Well, I've generally experienced that too...once you start removing articles of clothing, generally the men think it's a lot sexier. :biggrin:

Wow!

An original Compaq computer! And a copy of Lotus 1-2-3 Release 1A!

Um...what were we talking about again?

:smile: You know it's Physics Forums when the guys are noticing the computer rather than the woman's legs in the photo. :smile:

Is that before or after she removed the fig?

What means "fig" , Lacy ? I don't know the word. Is that the hair dress they used, those white things ?

OK, I think we fell off the joke cart here and the horse is flying down the road. I think I will walk from here. See you in town.

Flying horses , speaking cows, jokes and carts, I still haven't got the slightest idea what the word "fig" means. My dictionary only indicates is a certain specie of a Mediterranean tree. I am not sure how can they "remove a tree" so I guess it has other meanings too. Enjoy walking, is healthy. See you in Cape Town .

Happy to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fig_Newton" for you, Dan :smile:.

I meant the horse from the cart is moving fast down the road. And by now all I* can see is his back side.
I don't know where Cape Town is but will look you up under Danp.
Peace! Happy Thanksgiving.
