I have never understood the foot fetish thing, especially from those that make it such a high requirement in a relationship. I believe those guys are potentially missing out on a lot of good women just because their feet aren't ticklish or have that "sexy look" they want. I'll never understand it at all and am glad I'm not so obsessed with a body part. Sorry folks, I don't mean to be offensive, but there's a thin line between fetishism and obsession; once you cross it you've killed a lot of dating/relationship opps, IMO.
I remember being on another forum and some loser made some pretty crude commentary about black women's feet. By the time I was done with him, the thread shut down shortly afterwards. There's a way to state your preferences without being vile and disrespectful. Oops, I digress.......
The foot guys I tend to have run ins with are the ones who say, "I won't date a woman who won't let me tickle her feet no matter how hot she is." As several women have already posted, there's more to her to get to know than her feet. When I first started on this forum, I almost left from all the icky PM's I got. Very few of them focused on me the person, just a bunch of guys in front of computer screens beating the meat to my answers.
The good news is that guys started to PM me with intelligence, wit, and creativity. Some of them PM me regularly, some drop in as time permits them. That's how you develop relationship (and not just a sexually driven one either). You have your share of "look at me" attention getter chicks around here, but most women want to to feel respected first. They want to know why or what encouraged the fellow to PM them. The PM's I get now are from gentlemen who have followed my posts and liked something I said. At least they're trying to learn something about me and check to see if I'm worth getting to know. I can respect that better than some horn-dog salivating at his computer trying to get a date! Yuck!
