Have any of you ever compliment women on their feet? I try to do this whenever I can. Usually, I'll say "You look cute, barefooted," "You've got nice feet," or "Nice toenails," if they're painted.

Fellas. What is your goal in complimenting women on thier feet? Is it a conversation starter? It's not a good one if you simply phrase it with nice shoes. Complimenting a woman on a body part initially is a big creepy no no. Oh...and were you looking at her shoes when you said nice shoes? Thats a mistake. Look her in the eyes when you make the comliment and smile a little. Not a toothy smile.A boyish grin type. Then move to another topic. In all honesty if you want to talk about feet with her, tell her she has nice shoes once the convo has started and she feels more comfortable with you. If you come off as not needy by not comlimenting her on everything she does, tossing in "you've got style...I dig your shoes"" I bet you're the type that has a billion shoes in the closet at home" or "those shoes look painful, but they look nice though" will be very well recieved. Even a "are those yor tall girl shoes" said in a playful way to a shorter woman would work. See how the instances mentioned above allow her to respond with more than just "thanks". Complimenting is like using a spice when cooking. It's nessesary to add flavor to the interaction...but too much makes your meal suck.

I often compliment my friends or even girls that I don't know. I say that I like their shoes, hosiery, socks, toenails, toe rings, sometimes high arches or toes. I've never said to anyone that I liked her soles yet I haven't noticed anyone thinking that I'm weird

Got to admit, I have never done it. I have always let my girlfriends know that I have a foot thing, but its not something I would say to some random in the street.

That's because you're a girl sweetie! Whole different ballgame IMHO. They don't perceive you as a "threat."

I have done this on several occasions, but never her feet specifically. I will compliment her taste and style in shoes, or typically her choice of nail color, too. I give the Wifey pedicures myself, so I am always interested in checking out another's work. I go with GQ's advice and simply use it as a gateway to a conversation. For Me it seems kind of odd to compliment her and leave it at that. So far all of my attempts have been met with success and positive feed back. Just be cool, have confidence and take it easy.
