I have dated many non-hippie girls in the past who always try to change me and want me to dress up more and stuff. I often wondered how cool it would be to date a barefoot hippie girl, at least she wouldn't care if I don't own shoes, if she goes around barefoot too Through making friends on MySpace and FaceBook I have talked to other girls who rarely wear shoes. Why does it seem that all of them date guys who are always shod? It's rare to see barefoot hippie girls around here and everytime I do they seem to be dating cops, business men or non-hippie types. And further more, they give me compliments on not wearing shoes and then tell me how their boyfriends hate the fact that they go around barefoot. Do barefoot girls and guys ever find each other? If so, how does this happen.
My wife and I are both 33-34 and met at a folk festival a couple of years back. We were not the only people barefoot but it was certainly a common topic after a few drinks. She is a full-time barefoot girl and has been for years - she is half Indian and spent a few years in India after University it was there she decided to throw away her shoes and stay barefoot.
Well, the only reason i don't date barefoot guys is because I can never find them. There should be a barefoot people's event or something.
Back in my teens I had a girlfriend who went barefoot, though at the time I was a shoddie, kind of shy about doing the same. It was not too far along that she wanted me to go barefoot too, actually taking upon it by removing my shoes herself a couple of times. After a while it became quite natural that I'm glad I discovered the pleaures and joy of going shoeless.
I always wonder if there are gals who would prefer a guy who goes barefoot over lets say a guy who doesn't.
Hmmm, lessee... neat events with barefoot people... how about: Rainbow Gatherings, Goa/Psytrance open-air events, folk/rock open-air concerts...? Those are likely places to socialize barefoot and meet others with the degree of hipness desired... Some street fairs and medieval/renaissance markets attract cool barefoot people too (participants/actors as well as visitors) However, there is that geographical downside to US folks... I have it easier, since the place where I was ladled out of the gene pool and poured onto the Earth is considerably smaller, so that I wouldn't have to board airplanes to get to such an event. Good luck in finding your soul and sole mate Wiggling toes in anticipation of this year's barefoot-positive events, ~*Ganesha*~
If a girl usually goes barefoot, there's no reason why she should wear shoes to "please" her shod partner. She has to be just who she is.
Those are my thoughts exactly. For example, why would I want to date a conservative republican girl who would want me to dress "proper" all the time? I would rather hang myself. So, why would a barefoot hippie girl want to date a guy who is like that? I would think she would want to be with someone who thinks the same and would encourage her hippie style.
I wouldn't date a woman solely (no pun, really!) because she is a barefooter. There are many other qualities to consider. Besides, if two people were exactly alike I think the relationship go get stale, quickly. Many times differences are just as important as likenesses. They keep the relationship healthy and stimulated.
I disagree with this only because I have tried it (against my own advice). My ex-gf was a self-admitted conservative Republican. She wanted me to dress up more and told me I should start wearing shoes. She also did not like my hippie friends. This just leads to misery and fighting. If you find a like-minded soul, you feel as if you are a team and have a deeper understanding of each other.
I agree, there are other qualities to consider. In the same spirit, you wouldn't discard a girl you like just because she's a barefooter and she hates shoes. If she would wear shoes just to be proper, even though she usually doesn't wear them, she would be betraying herself and her convictions. I think a barefooter girl must be proud of being a barefooter and of her naked, tough feet, what do you think?
