“Honey, I believe it’s illogical that you keep on wearing these pointy heels and then endlessly complain about them. It doesn’t make sense.” Howard grumbled as he bent down to strap his wife’s high heels.
He loves her dearly but sometimes his Lisa could be too… clamorous. She looked stunning tonight. Her curly hair tossed gracefully just above her shoulder, her eyebrows arched and delicate, her legs flared gradually along her metallic dress. But what he hated were her heels. His ears were deaf from her complains.
“Sense?” Lisa barked, looking down at Howard. “Would barefoot be much better? It’s a party we’re going to. It’s a jungle out there. We, ladies, need to be equipped. And this— my edgy husband— is how we flaunt our splendor.”
“Honey,” he muttered, folding his arms across his chest, “From a logical perspective, you are teeming with splendor with or without these heels.”
Lisa smiled slyly and gave a kiss, “And from a logical perspective, we’re going to be late if you don’t get those straps done, Mister.”

Men just don’t understand what women will go through to try and look beautiful! Men are too logical in that regard. LOL! Cute story, Maria! I really enjoyed it.

Funny that men like sexy heels on women, until they have to hear the complaints! Good story!

Ha, lol. Some men love the heels but some don’t get why we wear them. It’s a girl thing in the end. Beauty is pain, at least until you can’t walk in heels anymore! Great take and I love how she tells him to do up her shoes lol.

Most guys I know say you look great in heels and they help you so you don’t trip or fall. If you were going to something you knew you shouldn’t be wearing heels to they would be annoyed. I like to find heels that are both comfortable and sexy. Hard sometimes but it’s worth it to spend the cash on more expensive heels if you wear them a lot 🙂
