" High heels are uncomfortable and make walking more difficult. Prolonged use can injure the feet, knees and back. So why do women keep wearing them?"

I have never officially researched this question. BUT, my answer would be something along the lines of a 'slave to fashion' type answer, and further clarified by my own personal observation that many women do not wear heels routinely anymore. I am in Uggs today, again. LOL.

Put it in the same category as hosiery. I am nearly brought to public comment when I see another female in court sans hosiery! But, she might think me a bit odd if I said, "wow, it is so nice to see another professional not wear hose!". I secretly think it, though.

note to all that have or will post answers you should then post a question. For every question you answer you should post a question

"High heels are uncomfortable XXXXXXXXXXX why do women keep wearing them"?

Because thru the years, men have convinced women that their legs look much sexier when wearing heels than when wearing flats. Now the women actually believe it!

Mea Culpa, Koko.

Why is it that those who can neither do nor teach end up in management?

The Peter Principle is the principle that "In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence." It was formulated by Dr. Laurence J. Peter and Raymond Hull in their 1969 book The Peter Principle, a humorous treatise which also introduced the "salutary science of Hierarchiology", "inadvertently founded" by Peter. It holds that in a hierarchy, members are promoted so long as they work competently. Sooner or later they are promoted to a position at which they are no longer competent (their "level of incompetence"), and there they remain, being unable to earn further promotions. This principle can be modeled and has theoretical validity. Peter's Corollary states that "in time, every post tends to be occupied by an employee who is incompetent to carry out his duties" and adds that "work is accomplished by those employees who have not yet reached their level of incompetence".


During WW2 why did the japanese kamikazee wear a helmet?

Because we have an atmosphere, so there is interference - air between us and the stars. Thankfully, of course, as we humans need to breathe!

If it was because of atmosphere why don't planets twinkle?

They do, but as they are so much closer, they appear larger, and so a molecule or two us dust is not going to interfere with us seeing them, whereas stars are much further away, so appear smaller.

Why is snot green?
It isn't, unless you are sick. If your snot is clear, you have allergies, if it is could and yellow or green, your body is fighting off an infection.

To reanswer #1:
Wearing high heels shifts a person's posture, accentuates the curve of muscles in the leg, and makes the ankle - now stretched out - appear more delicate. The posture shift causes the chest to just more forward as well as changing a person's stride to a shorter, less aggressive gait. All these things are regarded as "attractive" by society. I, however, care more about not being in pain, and so heels have never been a choice for me!


So, questions:

1. Why is common sense so uncommon?

2. Why do people think the "pouf" hairstyle is attractive?

3. How come no one has invented a personal force field so I could mingle in public and not be affected by others' perfume, hairspray or cologne, never mind things like pollen?

Karen, I'm afraid I have no answer for you except to giggle when I read this and nod my head vigorously. Are you lovin' those "bumpits" that they are selling or what?

(I hope I don't get in trouble for this!)
