The term for the people sitting on the rail to prevent the boat from capsizing is "rail meat". We usually pick them up from women at the beach that wish to go out sailing, as "beer can" races are informal fun weekly races. You can guess at the attributes required for such an important job.

My boyfriend has never commented on me wearing heels or not. In fact the only comment my boyfriend made was about how many pairs of shoes I own. I actually wear most of them. He made a comment about my "secret shoe depository" which is actually just a shoe cabinet that holds 8 pairs of shoes. I do have a few pairs of high heels, but they come out when I want to be dressy, and not on a daily basis, like I see some people at work.

The comment about my shoes comes from a guy who owns exactly 3 pairs of shoes. Sneakers, dress shoes and winter boots.

I seem to notice that men don't care about women's shoes, what type they are wearing, unless it's totally inappropriate for the activity they are doing. The only time I've heard complaints is if the guy is paying for the shoes, and the woman hardly wears any of them.

My ex used to take me both shoe, and shopping for clothing as she trusted my taste. So, it would be a modelling session where I would venture my opinion whether something looked good on her or not. Of course, then I could not complain about the cost of all the Blahniks she was buying either.

So many guys refuse to dance. Ever. Even when they know that chicks dig it.

That could be a dealbreaker for some. Kind of a silly dealbreaker, but a dealbreaker just the same. Kind of like a woman not wearing heels could be a dealbreaker for some men.

Me, I prefer a guy who will dance with me, just because he knows that I like it. But I doubt I'd ever refuse to go out with a guy who couldn't or wouldn't dance.

A lack of class, or the ability to discern what is appropriate for a situation, would be a problem.

A complete disregard for being attractive (not just to me, but to be desired in general), would be a deal-breaker.

Neither of the above depend on the height of one's shoes, though.
D - I like the way you stated this. Very well said!

Uh huh, that's what I inferred that it meant.

The pic didn't open, but I'm not sure I even really want to see it!
