Training
For more than a year, I have attempted to school H3.2 in the insane ways of women. With limited female experience, I have taken some obvious faux paus with a grain of salt or two. However, today I have come to realize that either:
I purchased the following sandals today:
Aren't they sublime? I love them mucho. H3.2's response upon seeing them on my goddess-like feet:
I'm fairly sure that he should die for that transgression. When I freaked the fuck out, he said "What? Do you want me to lie to you?" OH MY GAWD. Of course I want you to lie. Lie like your life depends on it. Because it does. It really does.
- He's just not that into me.
- He's untrainable
- I'm doing the same damn thing over again-trying to fix/change someone because I'm untrainable.

I like them... but folks accuse me of being pretty bohemian.
I would have turned it around. 'Well, I don't like the fact that you have neck pubes and never wear pants that fit!'
But that applies to my significant other, perhaps not to yours.
I LOVE the sandals, Sam!! And if they are who you are and what you like, dammit, you can not change that. H3.2 needs to know the style that you like that makes you who you are. And he needs to accept you for you.
Those sandals are adorable! And I do believe that some men are somewhat trainable - my hubs has learned a lot since he's been with me. I even taught him how to match his own clothes, although that required a cheat sheet hanging in his closet. Maybe H3.2 needs a cheat sheet for appropriate comments about fashion items. It would be short:
Whenever asked if you like some item of clothing say, "That looks great, honey! It makes you look beautiful and thin and brings out your eyes."
wow.....
Maybe it's just me, but I rather have someone tell me if I look less classy then I think I am. If I wear clothes that make my not so slender figure even less slender, I want, no I NEED to know. If my own husband, or best friend for that matter, can not be honest to me, who will?? For sure not the salesladies who try to sell any kind of clothes, flattering or not!
But be kind with me when bringing the bad news please....
I have had cases that DH didn't agree with certain items, but than regarding certain style or color. Looking back, I have to confess that eventually I wore those items the least because my short-term affection towards them wore out.
He may not agree with the style/trend but he can tell if it's flattering or not....
You have the feet of a gladiator. YOu should have DESTROYED HIM!
i love them...
peace...
hehe, men don't get women and their shoes, so it's best to stay out of the way! :-)
thanks for dropping by, check this out!
First of all, there is no such thing as too bohemian. Second of all, AWESOME sandals. Men just don't understand the shoe thing. Just pat him on the head say "that's ok, honey" and don't ask him about shoes. :)
btw I love the sandals!! I've got something similar with wooden beads going on. They still hurt like hell, but look very nice
Although I saw no need for it in the past, I believe any form of approval (feigned or not) is important in a relationship. I used to think it was part of the job (marriage) that I didn't sign up for (personal reinforcement of this kind), but later, as my daughter is on the path to being a woman, I see the necessity for praise on things I consider to be trivial.
Even now, when my little girl shows me her new clothes, I make sure to stop everything I'm doing to let her know;
- I approve highly.
- Give her a great big reinforcing hug. Hugs are very important (and I gotta sneak em in every once in a while).
- I think she looks beautiful in them (whatever it is she shows me).
Those are groovy sandals. They would be fun with some tattered jeans. (You gave gorgeous feet)
I'm with feetman on this one Sam. I LOVE the feet and the sandals are cute.
Love the sandals and the feet!
I like them. I think you did well. I also like it when women wear the sandals that lace up the ankle.
I was very well trained once by a girlfriend and could find my way around central London only by the location of shoe shops. Weird. Once bought her a pair of Helmut Lang shoes when she had a cold – it was the most miraculous cure I have ever seen.
I think as a result of being with her, I've become the number one bloke that most of my female friends take clothes shopping. I know my shoes, I know my clothes...
There I go, bigging myself up. In short, I am a very blokey bloke, but I have been trained for love to understand the shoe thang. Don't give up on him – it's not too late.
I'm sure H3.2 is into you, he'd be crazy to not be. My wife is big into shoes, but almost all guys aren't. I have a pair of sneakers, brown dress shoes, black dress shoes, and my Teva sandles. Thats about all a guy needs. So he may very well be untrainable. Here's a test... show up just wearing the sandles and ask him again how he likes them. My bet is that he changes his tune.
I'm with Trevor on this. I have exactly four pairs of shoes (not counting my softball cleats, which I haven't worn in about five years). I have sneakers, black dress shoes, brown slip-on "business casual" shoes, and sandals. I also keep an old pair of sneakers around in case I accidentally do some yard work.
And to be honest, I'm going to have to side with H3.2 on this. Although Bohemian isnt' the word I would choose.
I think he is untrainable. I mean, couldn't he have come up with something better than Bohemian? Perhaps, sultry?
ah, ha ha ha ha! that was funny.
the shoes are cute. don't listen to him. men don't get the whole shoe thing anyway.
how does he like sleeping on the couch?
