What size are my feet?? OMG I'm exhausted!!...

I've turned off the images from my dating profile for a bit.  Turning off the pictures might assure that some men might read the profile and not just judge on pictures.   That being said, some don't bother looking at profiles if no photos are posted....  I'm hoping for the latter for awhile.  Yes, I can also turn off the profile completely but I'm not quite there yet.

Now, that I've been doing this dating thing for awhile, I have to say that it is exhausting.   You always have to be 'on' and it feels like you are continuously on an interview.   That is fine and I get that it's part of it.  But it's exhausting!!!! Arghhh!

So why do I continue? Tis the question isn't it?  Especially after just having received a message from a man asking me what size my feet were??  Now you probably are starting to know me enough to realize that there is no way that I'm letting this go. 

So, I asked him why he was curious?  If he had a foot fetish?  Not being an expert on foot fetishes, I decided to do a bit of research on it.  Apparently of all the fetishes, the foot is the biggest turn on for mostly men.  Some like big huge feet in women, some like them dirty but it seems that most like them small and dainty (and clean).  Research is not clear as to why the foot fetish exists but there seems to be some neural connection between genitals and feet?  To be clear here, I really and truly don't care if you have any kind of fetishes including the feet (clean or dirty). 

However, if the fetish is at the forefront of your relationship and more important than anything else in what you are looking for in someone, well then, you may have a problem.....  This is my perception anyways.

So Mr Podiatrist avoided the foot fetish thing, talked about a few unimportant things in his response email to me and at the end, asked again about the size of my feet.

So I replied that I was flat-footed, had bunions and terrible feet that needed a pedicure.  To which he replied (believe it or not) yeah but how big are they?  I couldn't believe it....  I truly couldn't.  

I do believe that Mr Podiatrist's story probably belongs in my 'To Pee or not To Pee' entry but seeing that I can't go back and add it, I decided to throw it in here.  I suspect I will be referring to that blog on a regular basis.....  HA!

So finally I said, my feet are a normal size.  Why the heck are you asking Mr Podiatrist?  He replied yet again, what is normal for you?  To which I replied (I'm obviously bantering with him at this point), what is normal for you? 

He finally said that normal is size 7 or smaller.  To which I replied that I believed that normal was 8.  Then I asked (while shaking my head and chuckling because I already knew the answer), is my foot size a deal breaker?  And guess what he replied?  He said, 'I'm sorry, but yes it is, for me the smaller feet is associated with other things.  I may be wrong but that's what I think'.  I simply lolol (laughed in his face through the internet) and said, I can guarantee you that you are wrong.  My reply bugged him and he asked me why I thought he was wrong.  I didn't bother replying and I blocked him.....  C'mon now Mr Podiatrist!!!!!

I don't care what you want in a relationship, but if you state that you are looking for a long term loving relationship based on honesty and friendship, I seriously don't think that the size of your feet should be the dominating factor!!  I obviously did not bother getting into this discussion with him. 

Note that this is a perfect example of a man stating he wants one thing and really looking for something else.  It happens ALL the time!!!  Arghhh.  Just be honest guys!!

Of course, sometimes I get the impression that I'm from another planet when it comes to some of these men!  Something is afoot it seems! (HA!)!

Anyways, as I'm writting this, my feet ache and I would probably pay good money for a foot massage (haha).

Now, to make things even more interesing (and exhausting), I just received a message from someone who works at the same place as Mr Coach!!!!  OMG I'm so exhausted.....  Now what do I do with that?  Do I eventually bring up Mr Coach?  I guess I'll wait to see if I end up meeting this one or not.  *sigh*. 

I'm exhausted and going to bed! 

Signed exhausted but still chuckling at it all,

SSW :)
