So what did I say — about shoes?? — before sanity kicked in at 7? Highlights from the comments:
... there are things you feel you need to do in NYC that you look almost foolish doing around here. I see some young women around campus mincing about on heels when no one else is. There isn't one man around who is dressed to go with that. It's as if she's on her way to a party that exists only in her mind....
Take a good look at yourself in the mirror when you've got your shorts on. Ask yourself if I were a woman, would I fuck me? (The question, put that way, assumes you are not a gay man. If you are a gay man, you don't need advice from me on how you look to other men.)....
I'm vulnerable to the criticism that I've promoted women's shoes that are like little girl shoes and that's inconsistent with saying shorts infantilize men. I'm treading -- in Mary Janes -- on dangerous ground!

No, you are supposed to masturb.
The comments are over on the previous shoe thread, so here we are.
sneakers, and big overhanging shirt make a grown man look like a large boy
OK. We are on the same page here only I would go even further and call them a particularly stupid looking large boy. Oh, yeah, fashion crime. Felony. The big overhanging shirt is a great observation.
The fact is that those Keene's are the footware equivalent of a pair of sweat pants--they are an indication that the person wearing them has never had a clue or has given up on looking stylish. Stylish shoes DO NOT have to be non-sensible. Absolutely not. Tons of really cool stuff that you can wear right out of the store without instant bunions.
FYI if the shoes you just bought bother your feet while riding a bike, you just bought torture devices, not shoes. Aint ain't a lot of stress on the footsies until you get beyond ten miles.

Blush.....Yes. I ride a bike about 5,000 per year hardly drive, walk a fair amount and am (besides my bikers gams) in good shape. I admit that the average American male (and female) is a doughy ball of lipids that should be shrouding themselves in a caftan.
(and I've got shaved legs, yowzah)
For once a poll with choices that I can actually choose. Usually it's a choice between AA-approved positions full of sweetness and light, and the other side, horribly mischaracterized, that portray anyone with those views as forces of the devil incarnate.
Althouse really does need to stop reflexively defending her positions in the comments, especially without the benefit of coffee.
(This originally was much a much longer responses, but I decided to stop beating a dead horse - even if the horse was still sorely deserving of it...)
You should stop talking about yourself in the third person. It's annoying.
You're not Karl Malone, you know.
Wow. I didn't think that was a real word. I was all ready to put that in the class of pseudowords like splendiferous or crunk. But then, I suppose that's why I am not a college professor.
@crunchy, I am disinclined to masturb. when the word 'sever' is being used.
Men need five pair of shoes for life.
1. Dress shoes of choice.
2. Sperry type boat shoes
3. Tennis shoes
4. Boots
5. Flip flops
Should Be Good for Life.
I admit I never thought of looking into the mirror before going out to ask that question. Hmmm, maybe that would have helped me 44 years ago when I was 18.
Hey, Madison Man, I just finished that NYT crossword puzzle, too.
Merrell not Keene.
Surfed: Black dress shoes and brown dress shoes. Omit the boots if you live in Fl/Ca. Omit the flipflops if you live in any other state. Omit the boat shoes unless you own a boat.
"You should stop talking about yourself in the third person. It's annoying."
When I'm offering choices for readers to identify with?
That makes no sense.
Hmmmm...strange things afoot. Is it a coincidence that on the day of this post, I find a catalog from 'hotter' - Britain's Favourite Comfort Shoes - in my mailbox today for the first time?
Its chock full of MARY JANES!
I get a Diane von Furstenburg blogad on the Althouse front page today.
You should really do a daily keyword post that's nothing but upscale ad bait. Classes the joint up.
