Delcore Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 So, often times I see women walking around with high heels that add a few inches to their height. For me on the other hand, I'd like to use a height insole to add to inches from my height which is 5 ft 5, and make it 5 ft 7. So, how do you folks feel about this? Does anyone here see any issues with men adding height with insoles if women add height with heels? Thanks!
lucy_in_disguise Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I dont think women the primary reason women wear heels is to add height. I think its more about fashion/ aesthetics. Then again i never wear them. Insoles would be a major turnoff for me. I would read a lot of insecurity from that. 2

Pushup braws, and pads for an extra lift on the backside? Isn't that a bit counter-intuitive?

Sure, things are not equal... tho i wouldnt use either of those things, or even know any women who use butt pads. But just because the worlds not fair doesnt mean i am interested in changing my mind about actions i find unappealing. Thats just my personal preference, tho. As i said i am not someone who manipulates my image a lot with artificial enhancers. I prefer to just eat healthy, get lots of exercise, and hope my naturally good looks shine through. And im looking for the same in a guy. Im sure there are a lot of women who feel differently tho.
smackie9 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I agree aqua bras and the like is false advertising, but media, and what men like dictates how we should look. But that's a generalization. As for height you are compairing apples to oranges. It's not how tall a woman needs to be to be attractive, but how it enhances the look of her legs. Genetically women perfer the man to be taller than them, not only in public but in the bedroom as well. BTW I'm one of those women that doesn't use a pushup bra or butt padding, girdle, spanx, etc. I have np being just the way I am.
me85 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Firstly, I didn't know there was such a thing! A woman wearing heels is for fashion. It's not hidden. It's obvious that she is wearing heels and that's why she is taller. So it's not false advertisement. A man using height insoles is false advertisement. The fact that it is a hidden makes it so. I like genuine height to men.
newmoon Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 i think it'd be cool. lots of women add height with heels so why not a guy. back in the 70s they used to wear platform heels and boots a la john travolta, and he looked hot in that movie Saturday Night Fever. I say, why not? or, just wear shoes with a heel already so there is no insole needed 3

Lernaean_Hydra Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Honestly, I really wouldn't care. In fact, if it made the guy feel better I'd actually prefer it. I once dated a guy who requested I didn't wear heels anymore because the height difference made him uncomfortable (I'm 5'5 naturally and so was he). You have NO idea how many outfits were ruined because I had to wear flats instead .
Lernaean_Hydra Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 A man using height insoles is false advertisement. The fact that it is a hidden makes it so. I like genuine height to men. Aha ha...ha, "false advertisement". What is he advertising, superior genes? 1
me85 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Like enigma said, and makeup is not false advertisement either? Well, I barely wear any make up at all. I prefer the natural look. It's pretty well understood that ALL women wear make up and you can clearly see that she is wearing make up. It isn't hidden from people that she's wearing it. That's not really that deceiving. The OP can do whatever he wants but he was asking our opinion and mine is...a lot of women (such as myself) like a tall man and as soon as a girl found out the guy wasn't as tall as he presented himself to be, they MAY be turned off by him. Just as a man would be turned off by a girl who he thought had long hair (which he prefers) only to later find out she has really short hair and that she was wearing extensions.
carhill Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 So, how do you folks feel about this? Does anyone here see any issues with men adding height with insoles if women add height with heels? Well, when I was young, back in the stone age, I still vividly remember wearing 'heels', actually heeled boots, which were a style back then, including the hideous metal taps on the bottoms, to any sort of dress function, including dances. So, notwithstanding the disco ball slowly rotating overhead, the men and ladies both wore heels, though quite visible, in the men's case, barely, beneath their bell-bottomed pants. Do what you want. Whether or not you get a girlfriend will have little to do with insoles or heels or height, IMO.
Mangina Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 It's just a couple of inches, its not as if he was walking on blocks. 3
J21 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I'm a tall guy, (6' 2") and from one guy to another I think it's fine dude. If another one of my guy friends wore it, I would not think any less of him. I'd probably poke fun at him in jest, but I honestly would not care. Just don't make sure it doesn't obvious. 1
me85 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Aha ha...ha, "false advertisement". What is he advertising, superior genes? ha...ha...it's an expression. It means he'd be deceiving women and hiding his authentic self. Like when you buy a bag of chips and you open it and it's only filled half way. It's disappointing. I like people to be who they are. Height insoles would come off as insecure and fake to me. I've never dated a guy who did anything to alter their appearance like that. Hair gel, cufflinks, maybe some jewelry and cologne. That was how they "altered" / enhanced their appearance. I have small breasts but I don't wear push up bras or go to any lengths to make them look bigger. I wear normal bras. The only thing I do is wear a little make up, fix my hair and dress nice. I am who I am. I want to be liked for my authentic self. Therefore, I'd want a guy to feel the same way.
Bruce Leigh Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Genetically women prefer the man to be taller than them, not only in public but in the bedroom as well. Gives men the right to spread their seed if that is true, genetically speaking of course
Author Delcore Posted November 20, 2014 Author Posted November 20, 2014 It's just a couple of inches, its not as if he was walking on blocks. Haha, this! 1
todreaminblue Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 it wouldnt bother me......i dated a five foot guy though.....i think the only people it would really bother is women who are attracted to guys that are taller....as far as insecurity goes i think women are on par with guys....cause we wear makeup...and often dont feel comfortable unless we have it on when we are out....whothen should knock a guy for wearing a few cm on his feet.....i would be uncomfortable if a guy was wearing make up......that would be disturbing......deb
somedude81 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Well, I barely wear any make up at all. I prefer the natural look. It's pretty well understood that ALL women wear make up and you can clearly see that she is wearing make up. It isn't hidden from people that she's wearing it. That's not really that deceiving. I'm pretty sure that the ultimate goal of make up is to look better and give off the impression that you aren't wearing make up at all...
skydiveaddict Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Does anyone here see any issues with men adding height with insoles if women add height with heels? Thanks! Don't do that. The girl will find out and she won't like it.
Author Delcore Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 I'm pretty sure that the ultimate goal of make up is to look better and give off the impression that you aren't wearing make up at all... Exactly! This is my point lol.
J21 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 I'm pretty sure that the ultimate goal of make up is to look better and give off the impression that you aren't wearing make up at all... Unless they're going for that smokey eyed sultry look. Then yeah, I don't think they're trying to trick anyone into thinking they're not wearing make up. I mean c'mon.
CrystalCastles Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Personally I would prefer he didn't. That would read as insecure to me. I am not into that kind of fakery, to be honest. But I myself don't wear makeup (I like how I look without it), I don't wear pushup bras (already too big) and I don't wear heels (I'm 5'11 and I fall in them lol). And I also don't care about things like height. My boyfriend is a head shorter than me and he's the most gorgeous man I ever saw. I wouldn't want him different in any way. And most guys I've dated have been shorter, so if a guy wants to increase his height or something, its not going to make me like him more/be more attracted to him.
