My girlfriend hates my feet; what do you think?

See what I mean? There will be some nice thoughts sent your way, both here online, and out in the real world. You'll see!

 

Control freaks or not, this would be a dealbreaker for me. And I would not get past the dirty factor. Call me a clean freak or whatever you want. There are two sides to every story.

BUT if you feel stifled and dislike all of this, then tell her you can't handle it. Have you tried?

I once dated a boy who wouldn't wash his hands before and after eating. Was I supposed to ignore knowing that if he tried to feed me something? For me, it was plain disgusting. So I can see where she's coming from.

I also used to share a bed with a travelling companion (female) and we were an absolutely horrific partnership. We love each other and are good friends but this was too much for both of us to handle as she would walk around barefoot on dirty hotel carpets and then come into the same bed with me. lol some of you might be laughing but this was definitely a NO-NO for me. We quarrelled of course. I was a freak. She was a pig.

 

Big difference between being dirty and bare. And between hands and feet. You don't eat with your feet. Your feet (at least MINE) are cleaned several times/day. How often are your shoes? And think how lovely your hands would be if enclosed all the time with some sort of hand shoes.

Give me a freakin break. But I'm with you on being clean. Everywhere. I've always said those who get off on dirty feet are harming our image in the eyes of this shod public.

 

Point being_______ (?)

 

i think your feet are fine, i dont see theres much of a difference between peoples feet lol. if you believe in walking barefoot then do it, you shouldnt have to change that for your girlfriend, "a controlling personality is at the source of this issue", it is indeed and you need to have a talk with your girlfriend about it. if she cant accept you for who you are and what you do then is she realy worth staying with? good luck and let us know how you got on

 

...says the man with the Joker picture

 

What's the difference between dirty and bare? Were you talking about going out barefooted in public, on the sidewalk, all over the garden?

And are you actually trying to argue staying barefooted in public places is cleaner than putting shoes on? Understandably some shoes are just plain nasty and old, with a plethora of bacteria. Yet if this was your argument, it's a little flimsy.

It wasn't some attack on barefoot people. I was trying to see it from the other point of view by sharing what I went through with a close friend. I don't care what you or others say, when it comes to walking around on hotel carpet barefoot and then coming into bed, it's just crossing the line. If others want to do it in their beds, go for it!! Just not under my fecking roof. It's not some kind of weird superiority (you're worse/dirtier than I am) complex. I just do not like and cannot be around that sort of thing. I do think it's great, whatever side of the fence sort of barefooter you are (dirty or clean), that others do it. And I'm very very happy that they're happy also. Just never live with me.

 

There are definitely some floors out there in public where I throw the reverse on their "shoes required" policy. I have to inform them that their floor isn't clean enough for me---and thus, on with the flops. It goes both ways. I don't know how long you've followed the bf subforum, but I am always big on clean. I'm convinced the dirty soles so many go for is a HUGE turnoff; enough to maintain the hostility to barefootedness in public, and ruin the barefoot friendly openness we say we want.

Looked at in certain ways, perhaps no surface is clean enough to walk on. I shy away from grease/grime, most bathroom floors. I hadn't thought about hotel carpet, but since bacteria are everywhere, I imagine even my favorite natural surfaces aren't terribly nice either. Lucky for me, I work outside, woods and gardens, where I'd think it just has to be cleaner.

 

it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks about your feet. go barefoot.

 

Your feet are fine. Live your life as you choose. Enjoy being a barefooter. Do not bow to her conservative mainstream mentality.

 

i think you have very cute little toes

 

My boyfriend has ugly feet. I just don't touch them. It's no big deal. Neither of us are into feet. We never really think about it. They're just feet. We go barefoot the majority of the time.

 

if you give in to her wishes, what's next? it's always something with a controlling type of person. chances are you couldn't do anything right, if she did it for you. personally if someone really cares for someone, it wouldn't matter what they had or didn't have on, shaved or fuzzy, perfumy or stinky, dirty or clean, they'd still want to hug up on you, kiss you and hold your hand walking through life. i'd move on, too many beautiful, accepting, loving, BAREFOOT ladies in the world, and more of them converting each and everyday. you already have a few admirers in this thread, that dream about having a barefoot guy like yourself.

 

Despite the VERY FEW naysayers in this tread, the ayes have it. Be yourself---so easy to say, even at my age I still have to struggle with this, so I know it isn't always easy. Everywhere you've shown your feet on this board they look good to me. But, barefoot or not, I hope you free yourself from a controller. One of my pet peeves. I just may have a lower tolerance for controllers than most, however. I hate to think of your free spirit being held down.

 

free the feet!

 

My girlfriend and I broke-up about a week ago. I’m thinking of getting a tattoo on my foot to celebrate my new freedom, and to remind myself never to date anyone who hates barefooters again.

 

Right On!!!

 

If she cant except u for who u are then u guys shouldnt be going out . There are alot of girls out there that will except u and your barefoot ways. You guys should really talk about it because thats stupid for her to put u down like that. I hope Iam not offending you but thats how I see it
GOOD LUCK
peace<3

maybe what she really wishes for is a hoofed lover.

 

AHAHAHAHA!!!!!

i've been laughing everytime i see this.
