Have all good men fell off the face of the earth? Ladies, doesn’t it feel like that at times? Why is it that single women continuously go on dates and never have any type of success? Hmmmm. Well, the thing is men don’t quite get the point anymore. But when have they got the point? Presumably a sketchy thought.
Dating is comparable to picking out the perfect pair of heels. Depending on your preference, you either like bulky heels, sexy stilettos, one-inch heels, tall, short, skinny, by now you should know where I am going with this. Heels also come in different designs, colors, and material. Now if we think about it, aren’t men the same exact way? Finding the perfect fit, style, look, and comfort could never be anymore difficult when it comes to finding the perfect shoe and finding the perfect man.
Hopefully the shoe example isn’t discouraging more and more women in the dating field because we all know how difficult it is to find a good looking, fairly priced but not cheap looking shoe. Same goes for men, unfortunately.
A perfectly crafted Italian imported shoe is usually going to give you a run for your money, and is hard to get. Doesn’t it feel the same way with men? We expect to have something like a Jimmy Choo shoe, but end up getting something from pay-less. How disgusting is that? NEVER!
Quite a funny thought, but realistically finding something that fits is never a promising thought. And then what about the men that have baggage? Like the shoes that have too much going on. We think to ourselves, “the shoe could have been nice if it didn’t have that, or if it was in a different color.” How hilarious is that? Only because it is completely true. Women pick at men as if they had accessories. But damn it! We have the right to. It’s such a tragedy when a good-looking man doesn’t have a job and has five kids. What in the world is that about? Or the one who also looks good, but is married to the ugly girl in which of course you look way better than her and that house, car, and diamond should belong to you.
What about the men who don’t have anything to offer, but are utterly without a doubt completely consistent in pursuing you? In this case he may be a good fit that comes from Ross, but may still have a little designer in him, possibly something like a Steve Madden pump. Steve Madden is the epitome of knock off designer shoes, but in a way can still look good if you teach it how to dress up.
It’s funny to think that men can easily be compared to women’s fashion. There’s so many different types of shoes and they are easily comparable to the many personalities men carry. In the dating world its all about fun. Picking and choosing the right style and fit will always be a challenge, but everyone has a different perspective upon what kind of fashion they wish to achieve.

The rubric of comparing men to shoes was a clever idea. And the writer starts out pretty strong, except that she waits until the second and third paragraphs to use the shoe theme.
ReplyDeleteA strong first sentence that includes men and shoes would make for a better lead.
Still the column shows great promise with some editing to tighten the language.
It might draw a few comments for these sentences:
"It’s such a tragedy when a good-looking man doesn’t have a job and has five kids. What in the world is that about? Or the one who also looks good, but is married to the ugly girl in which of course you look way better than her and that house, car, and diamond should belong to you."
I don't think the writer necessarily believes that looks are everything, but the reader might.
Good first speciality column, with some editing.
