Shoes of the opposite sex––what styles/ fashions can't you stand?

a...@yahoo.com (aanv)
I absolutely hate seeing men who wear tassled loafers. I'm really
prejudiced about this. Although I like to see men well–dressed, I can
forgive a lot.
I have one friend whom I still like despite the fact that he owns a
pair of these, but he's sort of an absent–minded professor type. If
the person actually seeks them out, it's just not on.
It's almost a moral thing with me. I see them and I think that
there's something off, no there there.
What about you guys?

Sneakers in non–athletic situations. Unless they're those non–athletic
sneakers.
That's got to be the first time I've heard that one. I thought wearing
sneakers (trainers in the UK) was almost a standard Summer footwear for
both sexes.

I cannot tolerate the tassled loafer, either. I was at the thrift shop
awhile ago and they had a really nice pair of Cole Haan loafers for $5 in
my
dad's size.. but I didn't even consider getting them because, you guessed
it, they had tassels. YUCK.
I love tassled loafer Cole Haans on men. I like them for myself too.
I am really sick of guys (this is mostly a younger guy thing) wearing
overly
sporty, weird rubber sandals. They look like crap and are hideously ugly.
See?

These are overly abundant in Florida.. hopefully those of you up north
don't
have to be subjected to them. Most guys I know own a pair and wear them
everywhere. :(

Perhaps it's standard, but I don't agree that it should be. I find them
ugly, they make the feet sweat, and I don't get why someone should wear
athletic gear in non–athletic situations. It's like a butcher wearing a
butcher's apron wherever he goes.
Quite the analogy and well, everyone sees a
different shade of red.
I know I don't wear them when working as I require
a minimum casual dress code to at least have a
semi–professional look, but on the weekends, it's
either runners or cowboy boots depending on what
mood I'm in.
Sneakers in the States, runners in Canada &
trainers in the UK...what a strange world we live
in eh ;–)

High–heel shoes are dangerous. My former female
friend injured her ankle while wearing them.
The high–heel shoes should be designed like the
skate shoes to prevent such injury. Women wearing
high heel shoes cannot run, so they are the
"preferred" victims of street crime. The high–heel
shoes put too much pressure on the toes and some
heels damage the parquet.

There is a big difference between old–fashioned,
light–weight sneakers and modern sport shoes.
I have to wear sport shoes because I have wide
feet and the leather shoes are too narrow for me.

And she injured her ankle? For $120,000, that sounds like woefully
inadequate divine retribution to me (unless they had to amputate...).

Since "gender is what is in your head", there are effectively as
many genders as there are people.
But if you're referring to genetic sex there are at least these six.:
XY
XX
XXY (and variants) aka Klinefelter's
XYY (and variants)
X0
XXX
This does not inlucde the "mosaics"
I'm surprised you know about Klinefelters, Charles. Most people
don't.

Anyone who has ever taken General Biology in college knows about Klinefelter
Syndrome. I was a biology major. Not sure what major Charlie had, but it
is always covered when you study genetics. On the reverse side of your
coin, Veronica, my sister was related to someone (her husband's side of the
family) who was raised female but was actually male.
XO is Turner Syndrome. That means they are missing all or part of the X
chromosome. It does not affect intelligence except it can when it comes to
math, but there can be other physical weaknesses. XO women rarely have
children. A minute percentage do, but XO women are usually never fertile.
XO is just a fluke and usually not thought to be inherited. XO mothers
sometimes produce XO daughters IF they become pregnant at all. Some XO
women have conceived through IVF.
XX=female
XY=male but then there are XXY, and very rare are XXXY and XXXXY. IQ is in
the normal range but it can be a little lower than siblings. Motor
development is slower, but physical growth tends to be faster. Again, this
is not an inherited condtion, just a fluke of nature. Testosterone therapy
is often used to help these people. Sometimes males who have felt female,
after having gone on testosterone therapy, begin to feel like a male and
their life often then begins to feel more normal. Have your doctors
considered this with you, Veronica?
XYY males are usually much taller than their siblings, more active, slower
learning and mature slower.

Laura, Ignore it. If you said you liked pink shoes, they'd say you are
racist against black shoes. They are trolls, ignore, ignore, ignore.
We have been hanging pictures and mirrors this morning. Our picture and
mirror hanger guy was here and he just left. He is so funny and definitely
good for my ego. Peter just laughs as this guy is going gah gah over me.
It's so funny. Peter said, "even when we went to the other house, he

construction worker around here and he said he used to work with that Evan
Marriot guy, evidently Evan (Joe Millionaire) was a construction worker here
in my neighborhood. Heck, I never saw him. Evan said Orange County was too
stuck up for him but that in LA he was king, hehe. He also made way more
than $19,000.00 a year. Pfft, why they make this stuff up, I will never

I'll tell you, Kathy – it's not your money that bothers me, it's your
idleness.
A lot of us on here are fairly comfortable, but you alienate yourself
because you think no one else has anything – which really shows how
self–centred you are.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but the COTTAGES in this area are larger
than your house – with huge lawns!
If you have all the money you claim – why not do some good with it – or
volunteer your time or something instead of plinking away on newsgroups all
day. What a friggin waste!

I think that I have good karma.Very good!
Some of you are wealthy, some are less wealthy, some are strong and
healthy, others are disabled and so forth. There are many differences
amongst living beings and even more so there are differences between
animals and human beings.
These differences are due to karma.
What we all share – desire, ill–will and ignorance – are common to all
living beings, but the particular condition in which we find ourselves
is the result of our particular karma that conditions the situation in
which we find ourselves, the situation in which we may be wealthy,
strong and so forth.
These circumstances are decided by karma. It is in this sense that
karma explains the differences amongst living beings. It explains why
some beings are fortunate while others are less fortunate, some are
happy while others are less happy.
The Buddha has specifically stated that karma explains the differences
between living beings.
It is karma that explains the circumstances that living beings find
themselves in.
It is quite often the case that we find people misunderstanding the
idea of karma. This is particularly true in our daily casual use of
the term. We find people saying that one cannot change one’s
situation because of one’s karma. In this sense, karma becomes a
sort of escape. It becomes similar to predestination or fatalism. This
is emphatically not the correct understanding of karma. It is possible
that this misunderstanding of karma has come about because of the
popular idea that we have about luck and fate. It may be for this
reason that our idea of karma has become overlaid in popular thought
with the notion of predestination. Karma is not fate or
predestination.
You are what you are because of YOUR actions – not anyone else's.
You create your own karma. You are your thoughts. At this moment you
are the result of what you were thinking the previous moment.

These differences are due to karma.
What we all share – desire, ill–will and ignorance – are common to all
living beings, but the particular condition in which we find ourselves
is the result of our particular karma that conditions the situation in
which we find ourselves, the situation in which we may be wealthy,
strong and so forth.
These circumstances are decided by karma. It is in this sense that
karma explains the differences amongst living beings. It explains why
some beings are fortunate while others are less fortunate, some are
happy while others are less happy.
The Buddha has specifically stated that karma explains the differences
between living beings.
It is karma that explains the circumstances that living beings find
themselves in.
It is quite often the case that we find people misunderstanding the
idea of karma. This is particularly true in our daily casual use of
the term. We find people saying that one cannot change one’s
situation because of one’s karma. In this sense, karma becomes a
sort of escape. It becomes similar to predestination or fatalism. This
is emphatically not the correct understanding of karma. It is possible
that this misunderstanding of karma has come about because of the
popular idea that we have about luck and fate. It may be for this
reason that our idea of karma has become overlaid in popular thought
with the notion of predestination. Karma is not fate or
predestination.
You are what you are because of YOUR actions – not anyone else's.
You create your own karma. You are your thoughts. At this moment you
are the result of what you were thinking the previous moment.
That is true and could transcend every religion. I am exactly where I want
to be in life and I know if I decided I wanted to be someplace else, I alone
would be the one who has to take those actions.

Laura, please ignore this new person Bobbie. ALWAYS check for the AOL
account with a new name. This is another new name with an aol account and
undoubtedly our AOL troll of many names. You know you were only standing up
against someone who was being mean and it had nothing to do with her
illness, it had to do with her using her illness as an excuse to be mean.
Please, please, please, every person who tries to provoke you who has never
posted here before, check to see if it is an AOL account before responding
to it. They want to provoke you so you will look like a troll. Stay on
topic so these trolls can be revealed for who they are. This person has
nothing better to do than stalk posters of AF and harass and try to provoke
them. Don't even respond to my post, just ignore this off topic crap from
these AOL trolls or anonymous accounts and tell me about your clothes and
makeup.
You are not the troll, you are merely aggravated by people on here who get
mean. That is very admirable.
The best way that you can show them who the trolls are is to ignore the
trolls. It doesn't matter what the trolls think or say. There will always
be people like this in the world who look for fault. Hang in there, girl
and ignore them. Ignore Rogow, Kris, Huronia all the ones who try to

Blushun
Blushun, you are usually above these smartass posts. Laura wondered why
Huronia was so mean to me, which I appreciate Laura's intent in defending
me, in spite of the fact that she is making enemies by sticking up for me,
so she googled Huronia's whirl...@sympatico.ca email address and discovered
that Huronia admitted to raging at people for no reason and she blamed it on
her illness. Sorry, but I don't think illness is an excuse for being mean,
BUT, I for one appreciate knowing this as it helps me to be a bit more
understanding of where Huronia aka Ellen, is coming from.
I sometimes catch Dr. Phil on TV and yesterday he had a segment on bullying.
He said those that don't stick up against people who bully are guilty of
doing it too. Laura's actions show me that she has 0 tolerance for bullying
and is selfless in that she isn't even considering herself when she is
sticking up for me. For her sake, I wish she would just ignore the trolls,
but it arouses her righteous indignation so she can't help it. Me being on
here longer than she has been has shown me that talking to these people does
no good, but what you have to do is ignore them. I think Laura is seeing
that is also the case.
Please Blushun, stay above this like you usually do because the more
smartass posts there are, the more off topic AF stays.
Thanks for considering this.

The best thing to do is killfile and not discuss it. When you do discuss

That depends on what news reader that you use.
Unfortunately, dumping all AOL posters would mean never seeing
some of the nicest and most knowledgable people here. Perhaps
simply kkkillfiling those who come here only to brag, repost old
googled threads, and make wild claims would do?
Alas – perhaps not – since those posters have constantly morphing

I do not like the way you used "normal" for that implies that I
am abnormal which I consider to be derogatory. Perhaps I am
being overly sensitive b I think with all the personal demons,
self doubt, stress, fear and frustration that I have to put up
with I deserve to get angry/mad/sad when this sort of thing happens.
You also made the assumption that I am intersexed. I am, but
that was something you shouldn't have assumed. I don't know
which syndrome I just have certain symptoms.. My doctor said
when I aksed about it said I could be tested but would it really
make that much of a difference. And he told me that such testing
is expensive. I don't have health insurance. I can't even
afford to see a real "gender specialist".
