the only man in the world who doesn't think high heels are sexy
I met Bear at his office after work. I was coming from a meeting at the Century Club, where I had actually been sipping tea with a prominent social critic whose work I love, and I was wearing my most appropriate outfit and feeling pretty great about myself and my future. A black pencil skirt, a tan shirt with a neat little belt, and my new peach/tan heels (on sale, DSW, of course).
“You look cute,” said Bear. “Why did you wear high heels?”
“Um,” I said, “It’s an outfit.”
Bear does not like high heels.
“Why don’t you like high heels?” I asked him.
“They look like they hurt,” he said. “They look old-fashioned, like from the fifties. Why would you want to wear something from the fifties?”
“But they’re not old-fashioned,” I said. “They’re sexy.” I made a broad gesture- “Look– everyone is wearing them.”
“Everyone is stupid.”
“Come on…”
“I just don’t like them. Your toes look uncomfortable.”
It isn’t just sexy heels. Bear doesn’t like makeup either.
“I like your face,” he says. “It doesn’t need anything on it.”
“Makeup looks sexy, though,” I say. “It’s fun.” It’s weird to be the one defending makeup.
“It looks weird. Why would you want to put stuff on your face?”
I want to throw up my hands and stomp my foot. I can only do the first thing, because stomping in heels isn’t very effective.
Instead I push my finger into his forehead and say in a monotone impression, “Beep. I am the Perfect Manbot. I will tell you the things you need to hear. You are perfect and beautiful just the way you are. I will take out the trash now and wash the dishes.”
Except I don’t want to hear that I am beautiful the way I was naturally. I want to hear that I look really hot in heels and makeup.
I never used to wear makeup or heels. I still don’t very often, but I’ve gotten into both a little more, now that I’ve been in the city for three years and almost all of my friends wear both almost all of the time. Now that my hair is short and I like to contrast it with hyperfeminine stuff.
I am married to the only man in the world who doesn’t understand.
“Do you think that women’s toes look weird in high heels?” I asked his brother, who resembles him in plenty of ways, last week.
“What?” he said, understandably caught off-guard.
“Have you ever used the term ‘toe-butts’ before?”
“What?”
“When you see a woman in high heels, what do you think?”
“I don’t know, I’m usually not looking at women’s feet.”
“Fair enough. But if you did, what would you think?”
“It depends. But I wouldn’t notice her toes. I’d be looking at her legs and her calves.”
“OK.”
“High heels look weird,” said Bear.
“You’re weird,” said his brother. “High heels are sexy.”
I’d pretty firmly established that it wasn’t a genetic condition.
Bear and I walked through Bryant Park to the subway. Something was wrong with the red line, and heat poured up the stairs from where people wriggled together on the platform, four, five deep from the yellow line. We couldn’t get down the stairs.
We walked to the blue line. It was almost as bad. We went above ground and walked until we found a bus. We tried to go to Whole Foods, but the lines wound through the store for what looked like an hour’s worth of waiting. It took an hour to get home. And by the time we got home, my feet were furious and wounded and burning with pain. The blisters were so bad I couldn’t pull the sheet over myself in bed. I had to bandage them.
“Don’t say anything,” I said to Bear. “I don’t want to hear it. OW.”
“Why do you want to torture–”
“DON’T SAY ANYTHING!”
I have two pairs of sneakers. Bear picked out both. One pair is for walking, the other for running. I think sneakers are ugly, so I told him to just pick something for me. They are very comfortable, but I don’t wear them unless I’m at the gym. He thinks I should wear them all the time.
Before he met me, Bear only had two pairs of shoes. Sneakers and work shoes. So I’m not about to take his fashion advice.
But when I am wearing paint stained baggy shorts and a t-shirt that says “Oxford Study Abroad Program” (even though I definitely never studied abroad at Oxford and neither did the friend who handed the shirt down to me) and I haven’t showered in a scarily long time, and Bear comes home and says, “You’re so gorgeous!” I realize that it’s much better this way. Since I’m going to be with this guy forever. And for most of that time I’m not going to be dressed up.
Still, those heels are seriously cute.

Unroast: Today I love the way I look when I dress up with my short hair. (Sorry, but I think a lot of my unroasts are going to involve my short hair now)

I don’t know many men who do like high heels or even care about them. Do whatever makes you feel sexy.

This is my first comment, but I’ve been reading your site for a while and love it. My husband thinks heels and makeup look “goofy.” Actually, he thinks practically all my dressy shoes look “goofy.” He thinks he’s better at telling when I wear make-up than he actually is, though–I wear very light stuff most days and he doesn’t notice at all.

Thanks for commenting!
I can fool Bear once in a while, too. But sometimes he notices even a little eyeshadow. The man is supernatural. He could be a mutant.

Oh my gosh, not only do I agree with you on an awful lot of stuff, now I find out that my husband and Bear agree on a lot of stuff too! He hates makeup with a passion, the only thing I can get past him is a little bit of mascara. But thats ok, I don’t like wearing makeup, honestly.
“Toe butts” – I haven’t heard that one yet but that is hilarious!
April responded on 08 Jul 2011 at 4:55 pm #
My husband hates high heels. Hates them! He’s fine with make-up as long as it looks natural. I think high heels and make-up are fun and girly. I wear light make-up everyday, I think it’s the ritual that I enjoy most. I say yay to high heels and make-up and all things that make a women feel good about herself.
Amanda responded on 08 Jul 2011 at 5:52 pm #
One thing I’ve learned about wearing heals, ALWAYS bring a bag/purse big enough for flip flops! Even if you think you’re only going to be walking just a few feet in them… you just never know! ;o)

As I was scrolling down and reading your post I noticed the Wet n Wild makeup and it made me smile. I love the inexpensive makeup. But I have completely stopped wearing makeup now. And my hair is short too. It is so much nicer now because I have less to do in the morning. Or ever. I pretty much roll out with uncombed hair and a makeup free face and a t-shirt and some ratty shorts. I mean, I am clean but very un-fussy. I kinda like it. Thanks for another great post, Kate. 🙂

“Now that my hair is short and I like to contrast it with hyperfeminine stuff.”
I also have extremely short hair – and for a while, I did the same thing. I mean, I’ve had short hair a long time. But, say, last summer, for example, I got really into dresses and make-up and jewelry (besides facial) for the first time in my life. In high school, I used to do the outcast-girl’s raccoon eye makeup, but since then, I’ve hardly dabbled.
And after doing reading and scouring my own feelings, I actually find myself annoyed at the women I see with short hair and who, it seems to me, feel the need to still prove they’re women (because not being able to identify someone’s gender right away is scary) by wearing REALLY feminine clothing/makeup/etc. — But then I question myself, because 1) who am I to make these judgments? and 2) do I think this feminine dress is …bad because it’s feminine?
I still don’t know! But I’ve been thinking about it a lot because it’s summer and the dresses and short hair have emerged. I’d like to hear what you think. 🙂

Yes! And it was one of the only times I didn’t. Of course….

Laughed out loud at this one. My husband doesn’t like makeup or heels either (lucky me, I only don makeup for special things, and never never heels). However, once he was telling me about a young woman at work who was just hired. He thought she looked “fresh” and nice. Ha! She wore makeup thicker than I ever saw in my life. So just maybe it might be “not you, but ok for them”, or it might be that they can’t tell the difference of who is or who isn’t wearing makeup, they just don’t want to kiss it!

OH MY GOSH. The more I read about Bear the more I think he is Marshall’s long lost brother. Marshall HATES heels. For the same reason–they look like they hurt. He loves when I am wearing flats. He compliments me and tells me how cute I look in flats and he is happy that I am comfortable. Ha. Actually, I am planning on blogging about this sometime in the future! About 5 months ago I declared that I would never wear heels again. I haven’t since! I loved this post!
anna responded on 08 Jul 2011 at 7:47 pm #
funny, add my husband to the list of men who don’t like heels! or makeup. in fact he doesn’t even like me to shave my legs, although, as San D hints, i wonder sometimes if these preferences are more about aesthetics or the fact that he thinks those things are burdensome. so ya, ok, i appreciate your concern for my well being, but if you’re going to tell me to dress down and then notice how cute other girls look who are dressed up, something is wrong here!
not that he goes on about other girls or anything. but you know.
it’s odd how defensive i feel sometimes, too, when he’s talking about these things, and i wonder whether that’s because physical beauty is a traditional path to power for a woman? do i feel disempowered when my husband says he dislikes my accoutrements? even if in that very breath he is trying to empower me by how much he loves my natural self? i will have to think about that one.
justmama responded on 08 Jul 2011 at 7:52 pm #
I love it!
Bear sounds like my sons-in-law (and husband, too) They love their women “just like they are”…and make no bones about it. These guys are a special gift, so appreciate your Bear!
As for heels, yeah…they’re SO cute! But, they really do hurt…and toe butts….I am STILL laughing!
P.S. Work boots are sexy, too. 😉
Sarah responded on 08 Jul 2011 at 9:04 pm #
My husband also hates high heels! He thinks women look hilarious when they try to walk sexy in them. And if you’ve ever been to a club strip late at night, he loves that too. All the REALLY drunk women carrying their shoes in their hands because what was a bit tricky at the beginning of the night has become impossible. Anyway, it’s a good thing because the highest I ever where is kitten heels, and even that is for special occasions. When I stopped wearing heels (before I met him), it actually really helped me embrace my short stature!
And as far as makeup, he’s not crazy about that either. His favourite time is right when I wake up in the morning any my eyes are all puffy and I have no makeup on. He says I look like a woodland creature. (Maybe I do, but it’s definitely a chipmunk with a bunch of nuts in its mouth. My whole face is usually puffy in the morning!)
Anyway, my point is that maybe Bear isn’t so weird after all! Looks like there are other men who think that women don’t need so many accoutrements.

I love hearing about all the other weird (or totally normal) men out there!

My husband says:
Don’t bother wearing make-up;
don’t wear heels (unless you’re lying down, ha ha);
don’t bother shaving;
you could stand to gain ten pounds;
I don’t care about your breast size–I’ve dated women with less breast than most men have;
your nose isn’t big enough for my Italian family, and it’s good my granddad can’t hear you gripping about it because it’s small compared to what I grew up with.
He cannot stand high-maintenance women, so that’s a lot less hassle for me.
Pixie responded on 08 Jul 2011 at 10:39 pm #
Haha that is similar to my BF I try and make up myself all nice, sexy eyes etc and all he says is “why did you put on so much makeup?” (and fyi I hardly wear any make up…). Heels he says he doesn’t understand why girls wear shoes they can’t walk in, but I think I can walk in most heels!! Maybe not for extended periods of time!
He does seem to appreciate when I dress nicely most of the time, but the make up.. he never seems to like.
Laurie S. responded on 09 Jul 2011 at 6:23 am #
As many of the other commenters here have said, Bear is certainly not the only guy in the world who doesn’t like high heels and makeup!
Maybe I’m just attracted to abnormal guys, but the majority of the long-term boyfriends I’ve had from ages 15-25 have hated *both.* I dated a guy in college for four years and only wore high heels in his presence about three or four times.
My current partner doesn’t really like heels, makeup, or short skirts with no tights in the freezing cold (we live in Ireland). He understands if I choose to wear uncomfortable things, but I have to prepare myself for the occasional “I told you so.”

I once had a boyfriend who was realk vociferous about not liking women in heels & makeup. Of course, I still wore both, but he always would try to convince me to not wear heels on our nights out because he wanted me to be comfortable and also so that we could DO things, like walk into Temple Bar (I’m from Dublin, and Temple Bar is all cobbled streets) or wander down the pier.
Since then, I’ve asked partners what they think of heels/makeup — and without fail, they say they don’t understand heels and prefer how I look without makeup.
I used to feel a bit slighted as well, then I realised… I’d feel pretty insecure and hurt if my partner preferred the ‘dolled-up’ version of me, or wanted me to be dressed up all the time.
Now, I’m starting to believe that a guy who finds his girlfriend’s actual, naked face & body somehow LESS than the elevated, masked version… is probably a bit deluded about what real attraction entails, and I don’t think I’d date a guy like that!
I’m really thankful that my guy tells me I look gorgeous when I’m slouching around in pjs, in everyday jeans, or going all-out in a dress. It’s so liberating!

Ah, heels. I love the way they look but hate wearing them. Especially here in NYC! But I love fashion so I happen to own more pairs of heels than I am comfortable admitting. Often when we go out – I get all dressed up and then put on my flats. Andrew begs me to wear heels. I say, “NO! They are too uncomfortable! He says, “Why did you buy them then?” I say, “Because I need them for work events.” He says, “Then why do you have so many pairs?” I try to explain that you need a different pair for different looks…he doesn’t understand. It’s an ongoing battle.
sos responded on 09 Jul 2011 at 11:27 am #
Haha you are lucky to have a man who loves you the way your are.
I think there is a general pressure for women to look good and perfect all the time, from men and women too!
Jak responded on 09 Jul 2011 at 1:45 pm #
I like heels, they’re cute. I like messing with makeup every once and a while too. But I would hate it if any person I ended up with felt that was when I looked good, or when I looked my best. I also wouldn’t want to hear an “I told you so” when my feet hurt after wearing heels 🙂
@sarah: I’m pretty sure that I’m perfectly normally graceful in heels as well as flat shoes. The combined factor of being severely drunk is compounded with the fact that most of those women have been out for hours on their feet and they hurt. Did you have/go to your prom? Most of the girls there (at least at my prom) had their shoes off within 10 minutes of the start of the dance because their feet were aching.

My first comment on any site! But I had to find out – what is toe butt? Anyway 🙂 I am happy that my husband likes my makeup and comments on other heavily made up women. He says he can’t see mine hardly at all. He also loves me without it. He doesn’t hate heels and I quit wearing them 10 or more years ago. I have a problem in the ball of my foot from running so much & can’t be comfortable in anything but clogs. I recently discovered Born shoes in Nordstrom & Zappos that are high platforms and are actually comfortable and really cute! For work that is. I sit at a computer! I have always loved heels but once I wore Dansko clogs with pants – that was all I needed, about 10 pairs though and some custom painted. Love your blog…. only been reading a short time but will continue!

My husband of 25 years also thinks heels and makeup are ridiculous. I ignore him. He gave up commenting ten or fifteen years ago. Somehow he finally accepted I am going to do what I like. I too have short hair and wear girly makeup, and he no longer says anything about my shoes. I don’t mention his ability to leave the kitchen in a mess, either. Compromise and ignoring a lot are the secrets of a long marriage.
Dee responded on 10 Jul 2011 at 10:51 am #
I’m not even sure if my husband of 34 years likes or dislikes heels and/or makeup because he always loves the way I look no matter what I am wearing – usually NOT heels and makeup. The only time he has ever reserved comment is when I have drastically changed my hairstyle from long past my waist to pixie short and he said I’ll het used to it :).
Jess responded on 11 Jul 2011 at 10:26 am #
I like wearing lots of things from the Fifties, Bear. Crinoline petticoats can make you feel frothy and light and lovely, because they’re a little bit foolish, and so am I. Lets not even go into corsets (socially so torturous but somehow so satisfying…)
Heels, makeup etc are a blast to play with, which it sounds like you’re doing. But like you said, its great that he loves you sloppy, because its also important that you love yourself and each other without them. What you (and me, and everyone) really want to hear when you wear said things is that you’re good at dress-up! My gentleman says I’m beautiful first thing in the morning, and prefers me in little to no makeup. This suits me just fine, but he also appreciates the sexiness and artistry involved in the right red lip or black-lined eye. Its all about balance.
melle responded on 11 Jul 2011 at 11:06 am #
I guess it’s not that uncommon. I don’t think I’ve met a man who really cared either way. I never learned how to dress myself or wear makeup so my constant casual attire is incidental.
I have a friend who can’t leave the house to go ANYWHERE without layers and layers of makeup,and the poor thing was once chewed out by a male friend of ours simply because she wore it.
But you know, women don’t dress up for men anyway, we dress up to compete with each other. To be accepted by each other. We’ve been so busy worrying about what other women think that no one has bothered to ask the male side their opinion. 😀
Kate responded on 11 Jul 2011 at 11:19 am #
@Melle
Sometimes I think I dress up for myself first, and then, vaguely, for the rest of the world (men and women). This could be naive.
But I’m also definitely more likely to wear heels if I’m going out with a woman friend.
Deanna responded on 11 Jul 2011 at 11:23 am #
I love heels and make up. I look dreadful without makeup and always have…even when I was 20.
Men are funny creatures. They say one thing and do another. They say they like a certain type of woman, but then you see them with exactly the opposite. I was on vacation this weekend with my daughters and there were these absolute bimbos sitting by the pool talking a mile a minute about how drunk they were the night before, how in debt they were…blah blah blah yet they were blonde, skinny and tanned and their men were hanging on to every word. These women probably never had problems attracting men yet most of the men I know…including my husband…says he doesn’t find that type of woman attractive.
I also hear men say they don’t like make up on women…yet most of the women who go out wear make up applied in such a subtle way that it looks like they don’t have any on. They just don’t see it.
Personally, I think women look better with some make up…especially as they get older. If a woman feels confident without it…more power to her. I just feel I not only look better, I also look more professional, better groomed and healthier.
My two cents!

The only reason my boyfriend likes high heels is because he’s tall, and “it makes it easier to hug you.”
I never wear them- standing on tiptoe works just as well 🙂
dondig responded on 12 Jul 2011 at 5:08 pm #
This is my theory: men either think you’re cute or you’re not. They do not notice or care much about the trappings. To the extent that the trappings make you look hot or not they are useful, but you can wear all the trappings you want you will never look like the models who have the job of selling us the trappings. That’s why it goes over most men’s heads who claim not to like makeup, etc. that the movie stars they drool over are made up to within an inch of their lives.
My husband never seems to understand my need to want to look decent. In his world you throw on a clean shirt, shoes for walking in, brush your teeth and shave. There’s no way he can understand the social pressure brought to bear on women as far as how we dress. Once he drug me to a party where I was in jeans and tennis shoes with deplorable hair and all these glamorous women were there in pretty dresses and heels with perfectly coiffed hair. I felt like a fool. An ugly fool.
Men just don’t have an identity based on looking good. When you’re a woman and you don’t practice the feminine art of adornment, you honestly feel like less of a woman – at least that’s true for me. Even if I’m wearing comfortable shoes they are cute ones and I always wear jewelry and eye makeup (primarily because my brows and lashes are sparse). Thank God for the cute flats they have now. When I look good, I feel more confident and I don’t have to be the cutest thing in the room. Just one of the more stylish.

@melle Women absolutely dress up for men. That’s what the competition is about: garnering male attention.

After being married for about 10 years, I asked my husband if he thought I was pretty. He thought about it, and then said “No”. “Well, did you think I was pretty when you married me?” Thinking again. “No”. Owww! What kind of husband is that? I thought about it, and decided the kind of husband who didn’t marry me for my looks, and will love me regardless of how I look when I’m 80. Sounds like you have one of those too. They are built to last. Congratulations!

hahaha i love this post. I was recently with someone who also said that he preferred no makeup, which was fine except that when I wanted to wear makeup I felt self-conscious about it, like am I not wearing it for him? (Kind of a reversal of the usual, huh?) Now that my hair is super short, I often want to dress more feminine, either in clothes or makeup, to kind of make up for the lack of feminine long hair.
@Debbie, great comment!

I’m of the belief we don’t necessarily wear heels or makeup for men. We often wear them because they inspire confidence (if we’ve had a bad-skin-day), or because it’s fun when chicks gurgle over how cute our shoes are. If we wanted to wow men, we’d find other ways to do so.
Also, those heels are totally cute.
Heather responded on 08 Aug 2011 at 8:53 pm #
My bf is also on the no-make-up bandwagon (I don’t think he has any firm stance on heels though), and has told me on multiple occasions that he prefers me without make-up, even fairly light make-up (light for the rest of the world, heavy for me). Happily I don’t wear more than mascara like 99% of the time, so it works out well for both of us. As far as shoes go, I’m all about finding form And function- I’ve grown intolerant of buying shoes that make my feet hurt, but I strive to wear shoes I think are cute- this may be in large part because some of the worst blisters/sores I’ve gotten have been from sneakers, so they’re no safe haven for me.
Amy responded on 12 Oct 2011 at 11:13 am #
Seriously, you need to get out of my head and stop it with these weird life parallels.
My husband, “Dov”, is also of the two-pairs-of-shoes school of thought. He’s a scientist/study director who is always neat and clean, wears a short haircut, khakis and a button-down or polo to work every day, with a pair of plain oxfords. On the weekends it’s a t-shirt, jeans and sneakers.
His uniform only varies from these two choices on the high holy-days or for the annual formal party his company gives, when he breaks out his one suit and the ten year-old pair of dress shoes that still look like new.
I remember the first year at this job and on THE DAY OF THE PARTY he came to me as I was sipping my morning coffee and asked me what I was going to wear that night. He’s a low-key guy and always prefers me to dress low-key as well. I said I was going to wear a nice pair of dark jeans, a cashmere sweater, cute shoes, some of my nicer jewelry…
He starts shaking his head…a look of horror spreading across his features…
“It’s a FORMAL party! Women at work are talking about having gowns altered and stuff!”
“What? WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL ME THIS WEEKS AGO!? THE PARTY IS TONIGHT!” (I should have been shopping more…dieting HARDER…)
Seriously. WTF?!
I gulped my coffee, dressed and left him with the kids and ran out to a local bridal/formal store and found a gorgeous red halter-top gown on clearance. Even under extreme pressure I AM A PRO. I went to another store and scored sexy red satin heels and an evening bag.
I love heels. I cannot move in them. I can fake it…for a while…and then I hobble around like an old woman. I am pissed that I seem to be lacking the looking-sexy-in-heels gene. I’m only 5′ 4″, I am tired of looking stumpy. I want to be able to effortlessly “throw” on heels as described in magazines.
Other than some tinted lipgloss, I don’t wear makeup. My husband prefers my clean face and even at 37 (thank you excellent genetics and sunscreen) I’m lucky enough to have really nice skin and still no wrinkles.
Magazines tell me I can easily learn how to achieve the perfect smokey eye. Apparently this is an important feminine skill. I CAN’T do it. I look like a raccoon. Also, there is no more eyeliner left in the world. Taylor Momsen has used it all. Again I say…WTF? That’s a lot of eyeliner…
Your bit about not showering made me laugh.
When my husband proposed to me I was dirty, unshowered, my hair unwashed and bundled up with an elastic and I was in a ratty old t-shirt and sweats. I had been housecleaning all day and was on my way up from the basement with a basket of laundry.
Apparently he had bought the ring and hid it in his underwear drawer and was frantically trying to hide it since I was coming in the bedroom to put away the clean clothes.
I saw him fumbling around in the darkened bedroom and suspiciously said “What the hell are you doing?”
He gave me a sheepish look, strode out into the living room, went down on one knee and opened the box. Inside was the nicest, whitest diamond solitaire I had ever seen. Wow.
I started babbling and crying. “Now? You’re asking me NOW? Like this?” I said yes, we called our parents, and we still laugh about it now, years later.
My husband isn’t interested in me being the hottest, skinniest or most fashionable woman around (although I can do 2 out of 3 of those pretty well sometimes.) He’s actually more interested in a hot dinner, clean laundry and sex.
He is a simple man.

I find it ironic that Bear thinks that those heals are too much, but those size heals are conservative in height compared to other shoes today. Watch an episode of Chelsea lately with a woman guest and you’ll see some heals.
