What’s wrong with the sandals? It’s interesting that you mention that, because I read a few months ago, much to my astonishment, some text or other where at least a woman (but I think there were a few more agreeing with her wholeheartedly) said very seriously that any man hoping to have a chance with her had better not show her his feet, and that not covering them entirely meant to her that he didn’t respect her as a woman. Yeah, this seemed to apply even on a hot summer day, when she herself flaunted her own charming feet and kept them well ventilated, while his feet would have to get all sweaty and nasty tucked away. If you ask me, it sounds like a clever strategy to then humiliate him by rejecting him for the stench of his feet

Oh, the irony! Guess what is actually a symptom of something unhealthy? Not bothering to mentally “write off” anyone. It doesn’t usually occur to me to do it, unless someone asks me, because I know it’s a waste of time—if I don’t expect anyone to be into me, it matters s**t whether I am into them.

Thanks.

By the way, c’est la vie sounds like Spanish se la vi (‘I saw it’, where it is something grammatically feminine belonging to someone you’re referring to, whose identity should be understood from context). In many situations, the latter would be easily understood as meaning you saw some body part or other which you weren’t supposed to see

I'm not aware of this being a general women thing about male feet, but I have no wish to see anyone's feet. I was using it as an example of something I would write someone off over that wasn't something that was generally considered a reason to do so. No I don't get my feet out, they stay covered (two pairs of socks) and booted especially in summer (wet feet would be even worse than cold feet). No, this is not a clever strategy to humiliate a man for having smelly feet, which doesn't fit in with my idea of clever anyway.
