Hi, I'm new here. Can't believe there are others like me out there!
Here is my story: I go to get a haircut today from my regular guy. When I walk in there is a really cute new girl working there. I am immediatly drawn to look at her feet. It was my day...because she had on super cute open toed shoes with a wooden sole. Her feet looked really good but this was still from across the room. My guy says to her, will you wash him up. So I follow her back to the sinks just staring away at her feet. I must have looked like a zombie because I was so fixated on them. They were absolutely devine up close as I suspected. Beautiful shape and super fresh, glistening red polish. I really picked them apart, visually, and they were flawless. Now here is where I have a question....As she is washing my hair, she tells me I have really nice hair. She even mentioned it a couple times during the wash. I wanted soooo bad to say, "thank you and you have really beautiful feet"...but I did not say anything I wonder how she would have taken the "compliment"? Freaked out on me, calling me a weirdo? or perhaps, said thank you I'm glad you noticed them? Oh what I could do with those nice peds..... Anyone compliment a stanger on their feet before? How did it go?

That my friend was a blown opportunity. Women who work in a salon environment would definately appreciate the comment about how pretty there feet are...

I concur completely. These girls at the salons live for feet and hand complements.

don't knock yourself over this loss opportunity. i suspect she figured you liked her feet and was using her compliment to draw you out a bit.. but you ddin't go for it. oh well..
don't sweat it.. you may get another chance!

Dam, you guys are so right! I just couldn't muster the balls to do it.....
She kept coming over to talk to my hair guy and would sit down in the chair next to us dangling those perfect little feet. I swear I was straining my eyes so bad to get a better look at them without moving my head. Funny stuff!
I will try again next time.

i disagree, it doesnt matter whether you are in a salon enviroment or whatever, thats stereotyping, its the individual that matters, and since you have absaloutley NO idea who this woman is and where she is coming from, her reaction could have been anything!
My friend emma works at a salon, she really hates feet with a passion, and we havnt talked that much since i told her i was a foot guy, hows that for ya. Beleive it or not, there are people like that.
She could have had really awful feet related experiences in the past or really despise feet for other reasons etc. No matter who the person is, if you dont know them then there is ALWAYS two sides to a coin and you must think before you act, especially since this is a woman who works in the place that you visit to get your hair done regularly. The plus side, she responds positivley to your comments and it goes good from there, the negative, due to her personality and background, her response could be the EXACT oppose, you would be forever in the bad books. Would you be ok with that knowing that every time you go to get your hair done, you will always see her, and she will remember you, maybe even told others who work there about you etc.
You have to think and tread carefully in many cases, put the positive out come and the negative out come and put them onto some imaginary scales and think which one weighs more, do you have nothing to lose, or do you have something to lose, such as the the respect from the people who work there?
Its ok if its someone you are never going to see again or someone you know would be ok with it, or if you dont care about negativr out comes, but when there are things at stake, you need to think with your mind and not your......

some friend... Posted by dougiezerts (Member # 6829) on :
Well, you can go back there, again! Strike up a friendship with her. Then you can occasionally bring up her feet, while talking. You could say something like, "Why don't you do you work barefooted!" and see how she reacts!
Posted by FTPHANTOM (Member # 47) on :
I agree with Climax on that 1. You never know how they may react,it could be a good reaction or a bad 1.

thanks climax for that pointer!

sorry to hear that dude, but hey seems like it has happened to most of us at one time or another so you're not alone. just grow a set and tell her next time, and if she calls you a freak just offer her $200 for her shoes Posted by Footman9 (Member # 1100) on :
OK. Don't worry it will come around again. Use caution with your approach and try starting with the toenail polish, if she's wearing polish. This works well for me because then she will realize you are checking her feet out and take the conversation from there. A stepback is a setup for a come back . Go get'em the next time. Posted by feetluvr (Member # 1570) on :
Somewhat of a tough call IMHO. Though I don't know all the details, it sounds like she was being a little flirty, or she somehow noticed you eyeballing her feet and was teasing you a bit.
Don't beat yourself up over the missed opportunity. As others have said, could have gone well or could have made her "go postal" We don't know. I'd suggest returning every chance you get and continuing to build rapport and get to know her some more before you compliment her feet.
Posted by DennisIsEvil (Member # 11755) on :
I always compliment women with nice feet and just about all of them like it. The only ones who act like bitches about it are basically the snooty spoiled princess types or neurotics and are not worth bothering any further with. Whatever issues or insecurities they have are on their end.
If they can't take a compliment it's their problem not yours.
Posted by Fate111 (Member # 2627) on :
As being a new girl working there and someone you haven't had interaction with at all, I agree with climax. There are "anti-feet" women out there who think feet are gross or could easily be weirded out by someone looking at their feet, nevermind complimenting them. Going with the feet compliment may have been too much too soon. I think a safer route to go, if you had your heart set on giving a compliment, would've been to compliment her shoes first, since they, technically, caught your eye. Picking out an accessory like shoes works because, for the most part, guys aren't usually "tuned in" to accessories on a woman, like shoes. Therefore, a woman probably doesn't hear too many comments/compliments from guys about their choice of shoes. As such, giving a somewhat unique compliment will make you stand out from the majority of the guys who come to the salon who are probably too busy staring lustfully at her boobs or ass. If she responded positively to the shoe compliment, you could've then transitioned into complimenting her choice of toenail polish. Again, this is probably not something that most guys tune into, let alone acknowledge, and this plays into your favor because you're noticing something most guys don't, which will make you stand out. Only if she took the toenail polish compliment well and decided to show off her toes and feet by taking her shoes off would I then make any reference towards her feet.
It's all about the level of comfort a woman feels towards a guy that is the factor of how the interaction will go, as well as how far it will go on all levels. If you simply make an unobjective comment or compliment to her without coming off as being needy or having an ulterior motive, the more likely that she will respond positively. Making a comment on her shoes and then possibly getting to a compliment on her feet sets the mind frame for you with the first compliment to not be needy because you're not after her shoes.
Actually, what would even be more effective rather than a compliment, is, if the shoes had a bit of a heel on them, say that the shoes are nice but then accuse her of being really short and her compensating for her height issue by wearing shoes with heels. If the girl is tall, this makes it even more funny because she's obviously wearing the shoes because she likes them or it's more of a fashion statement.
Another way to playfully bust on her would be to say the shoes are nice and then ask if they come in women's sizes. This could actually work very well because then she'll be on a mission to show you that her feet aren't big and she may be compelled to show you right there on the spot by taking the shoes off to show you her feet. If anything, this could possibly let you get an eyeful of her feet up close and you could outwardly look, rather than having to steal furtive glances here and there.
Anyway, this should give you enough verbal fodder to use for the next time this situation presents itself. By the way, welcome to Wu's!

Fate111, that is perfect...I like that approach.
In my defense I was gonna simply compliment the shoes after I chicken'd out on the feet...but still refrained.
All good advice/thoughts guys. Thank you.
Posted by coedfeet (Member # 2738) on :
First of all, a chick working in a salon is going to compliment all guys on their hair, she wants to get guys going for nice tips. You can't assume she was being flirty towards you specifically. But to be sure, here's a new approach, talk to her a bit and ask her out. Why settle for just complimenting, which I see no thrill in, when you could turn a date or two into foot action. Then you could brag you came on her feet instead of just talked to her about them?????

You certainly provided plenty of food for thought there & I must admit that has started out thinking the same way as those other guys but having read your thoughts i think I will be inclined to think twice if Im ever fortunate enough to find mtself in a salon with a lady with nice feet, well certainly I would weigh up the pros & cons now before speaking out. So thanks for the advice!

You make a good point but just to defend myself: She turned out to actually be the facial lady who was just helping my guy out while he had a smoke. No tip would have been involved. Trust me, I know a tip-fish from a compliment.....Like when your call girl says, "Coedfeet, You have the perfect size penis!" I mentioned the hair compliment merely for the fact I was handed a compliment-opportunity about her feet on a silver platter. Let's all not forget....her feet were incredible!

LOL, and for those of us who don't even get that from call girls, is it safe to say we're probably vienna sausages
I do like the notion that you might be able to brag about cumming on her feet, assuming you were successful in the end. Best of luck. I think you're definitely gonna be on the right track now
And do let us know how it goes

Well if I were to use a call girl, she would know not to bother with that line, as her satisfaction is not an issue. But, even my old lady, and any other girl I get with, knows never to call it a penis, it's a cock!
But if indeed the facial lady (hahaha) was giving a true compliment, retorting back with "you have nice feet" would have been a mistake, especially if she was flirting.
Posted by Worlds (Member # 18646) on :
Shall I post a pic of my hair? LOL j/k
Since I seem to have a few fans of this story...I'll continue
I guess she was flirting enough that my gay hair guy felt compelled to run over and let her know I have a wife and kids So he was either jealous or truly concerned for my wife....Right?
Posted by coedfeet (Member # 2738) on :
Ok,
Why would someone want to compliment a chick on her feet if nothing comes from it? Like if I do a compliment, it's an opening to asking her to model, and maybe more.
I'll leave the gay hair guy issue alone LOL

I'm just a wee newbie here. However, I've loved feet for a long time and had some really great feet escapades with my wife and on the side .....but I'm not whipping out cameras or interviewing just yet I would compliment pretty feet just to compliment them...of course I would love for her to say, "cum all over my beautiful toes"...but it's not mandatory.

Everybody here has some interesting takes on should you or shouldn't you have complimented the girl with beautiful feet... Now, do exactly what you just quoted..."I would compliment pretty feet just to compliment them". Add alittle confidence with the compliment. This way, you don't come off like a freak and, better yet, they will thank you for the compliment. Posted by Rae124 (Member # 328) on :
You could have said 'I noticed you had nice toes'. In my mind 'toes' instead of 'feet' is less creepy and therefore easier to make your mouth say the words. Letting people know they have nice toes when other people are around is really hard, unless the situation calls for it ie. girl says 'Don't you think I have nice feet?' and you say 'sure do' or something like that.
Posted by Mighty Mike (Member # 1922) on :
what you should've said was "yeah i know I have great hair"
chicks (especially hot ones) love a cocky guy as long as he's funny about it
Posted by nylonfootsniffer (Member # 3488) on :
I wouldn't have said "you have really nice feet." just at the onset there, I would have complimented her shoes, or her nail polish or something impersonal at the beginning, that would have broken the ice and gave you a feel for what she was like without getting too personal and possibly offending her. If she responded well to the above compliments, you could always take it further from there later.
Posted by Worlds (Member # 18646) on :
Yeah, I agree with most of you guys. I should of and WILL start slow with the shoes or polish and feel her out from there.
Come on "nice" hair - Grow! Grow! so I can get back to those feet.....Or I could just go in for a facial, eh? Posted by nylonfootsniffer (Member # 3488) on :
stop back sometime and offer to take her for a movie.

Posted by TicklingFiend (Member # 10765) on :
sounds like my life story. Take a risk, and if she doesn't quite get the compliment, she'll more than likely just give you a some-what nervous smile and dismiss it as random banter.
