hmmmmm... point taken... smelly dirty feet definitely gross though

Well, as I said, I think smelly dirty feet are gross by virtue of being smelly and dirty, not by virtue of being feet. Any body part that is smelly and dirty I find to be gross (although, even in this case, the mouth is the dirtiest part of the human body, yet most people have no aversion to kissing). Feet that are clean I do not find to be gross, unless they're fat or ugly or something else, but again, they are not gross simply by virtue of being feet.

I can see that not everyone agrees with me. There are plenty of people out there who seem to feel that feet are just inherently gross. Baffles me, but whatever.

Yeah, I don't understand that either. As long as they are washed and odor-free, I see nothing any more icky about a foot than a hand or any other part of the body for that matter.
