This is an interesting take on women who wear high heels, and the men who ogle them.

SOURCE

Fashion trends come and go, but high heels are forever - they have been a fashion statement since sixteenth-century France and entered the average western woman's wardrobe in the nineteenth century. But why? They are often painful, uncomfortable and awkward. Yet, when asked why they endure them, most women will spout a quip about how they look or feel more attractive.


Heels also exaggerate the difference between male and female gaits, which the researchers called a "supernormal stimulus". That difference increased sexual arousal in men and causes more attentiveness in women searching for potential mates.

Science is cool.

Way better than another stupid thread on evolution or global warming. Thanks.

I'm far from a scientist, yet I beg to differ with them.

I find females in heels unbearably attractive because the outstretched, tensed legs with toes pulled back - reminds me of a female in the throes of making love... now that's attractive.
