Women and shoes...a little insight.

So many women find great pleasure in purchasing shoes.  Heels, flats, sandals, open-toed, sling backs, platform, tall boots, ankle boots...There are literally HUNDREDS of styles and shades to choose from.  It can seem like an overwhelming situation yet women gleefully enter shoe stores wide-eyed and hopeful.  So, what is the draw?  How can women spend so much time shopping for shoes?

Well, guys, here's why - shoes always fit!

Now, any guy who's been in a relationship knows very well that we women have our 'fat days'.  We also have an incredible aversion to buying clothing when the size is one or two 'up' from our 'normal' size.  The worst part of shopping for clothing, though?  Facing a dressing room lit with the ever-unflattering, over-head fluorescent lighting.  This is an obstacle that can only be accomplished with unwavering confidence or copious amounts of tequila (or other liquid courage of choice).

However, when a woman finds a pair of amazing black heels that are so incredible they are the outfit, it doesn't matter if she ate that extra bowl of Chunky Monkey the night before.  It doesn't matter that she skipped kickboxing that morning.  And, it certainly doesn't matter that her jeans were a bit snug and difficult to zip up - again.  What matters is that these shoes make her calves look amazing and they're sexy as hell...and they fit!

So, gentlemen, please allow us a little leeway when we splurge on shoes once in a while.  You never know, it may keep us from asking, "Do these jeans make me look fat?"
