What is it with women?

Take the price off the bottom of your shoes, we can see it and it looks AWFUL!!!

Not a life changing observtion but it drives me (and other non offending women) mad!
You see some woman tottering along in their high heels and you think, those shoes are nice/that outfit's nice and then you get the back view - BIG WHITE STICKERS ON SOLES!!

Why do you not take the price off? You wouldn't walk along with the shop label still on your clothes so why your shoes?
:)

Especially at a wedding when they kneel down lol

I agree - but I am dreading the summer months when you see some men sporting their shorts with white towelin socks pulled up over their calves finished off with a lovely pair of open toe sandals :gag:

Even worse - men wearing sleeveless t.shirts when they really haven't got the arms for it with a gigantic bush of hair protruding from under their pits :gag:

Thank you Dawny, you have just put me off my bacon roll, which believe me, is just the worst level of reaction I could possibly suffer!!

Just remember - moment on the lips - lifetime on the hips. Glad to be of service! :thumbsup:

Another summertime observation - walking past a bloke with huge sweat stains on his T.Shirt smelling putrid wearing no deoderant! :gag:

That should put you off your lunch too :hihi:

hmmm! truly revolting ... why do they do that ... have they never heard of less is more ... suggestion to all male forummers ... trim, darlings, trim a little .... :P

Come on now girls, there's one glaring ommission from this sin list. I can't believe nobody has mentioned too-hairy men in muscle back vests. :(

Ahhh, ruby......

Being of a hairiness that puts a Hobbit to shame, I consider these hairist comments to be offensive! ;)

Whilst I may have armpits within which you can conceal two divisions of Japanese soldiers and a small town, I stay fragrant by having freuent appointments with a bar of soap and a bathtub!

Say it loud, I'm hairy and proud! :D

Does hairiness in the male point to a prominance of female hormone does anybody know?

I have to own up to being quite a hairy female and could often make use of a fly-mo in certain areas :gag:

But I do trim frequently and shave my legs so I never look like Selma or Thelma Simpson so their is no excuse for unsightly hair.

I do like hair on men - especially chests but not on backs. Underarm hair is also ok on men - I just don't like it when its that long you could plait it or that matted up with stale deoderant it looks like dreadlocks! :gag:

Joe ... ACTUALLY, dawny1 started the hairest thread .. and having put me off me tea and toast, she's now backtracking lol.

IMO Body hair on show anywhere in public should be a no-no, male or female. I wouldn't expect a man to take off all his body hair ... but they could at least trim their pits ...

Re the original point of this thread which is price labels on shoes, I remember the groom kneeling down at the altar and written on the labels on the soles of his shoes was

HELP ME!!

:hihi:

phew! back on topic ....

Dunno - I think the last time I looked I was a bloke.

I come from a long line of hairy men, I'm afraid. But I'd agree that cleanliness is all!

Whoops!

Just checked my shoes and there is a trace of a label!

Haven't been grovelling lately so I'm OK!

There was a picture in one of the 'learned journals' this week - probbly Heat - of an actress / model / whatever with a clearly visible label hanging from her dress.

Now - fashion statement or disorganised mess?

IMO the worst offenders are the girls and women who persist in wearing the kind of tops which are intended to expose their midriffs but instead introduce the world to their beer guts....... mmmmm, sexy!

Also, bras that are far too small and produce the effect of several sets of bosoms.

Testosterone causes you to be hairy.

As for the price labels thing, guys, you do all know that the label on a suit jacket sleeve is supposed to be taken off after you buy it ? Two guys on the tram this morning didn't.

Sorry I know I am going back onto hair but you just reminded me of someone I knew who wore a cut-off top to expose her new belly button peircing and yes you guessed it - it was hairy!!!:gag:

Back on topic though - I saw a really well dressed lady a couple of weeks ago - obviously had a bit of money and she had left the price sticker under her boots which because they were high you could see the white label a mile off shining like a beacon! :hihi:

I can't believe no-one has mentioned leggings yet :D

Espescially White leggings, usually spotted pushing a pram with a pineapple hair-'do', and even whiter calves the size of tree trunks...


Anyhow, enough about me :D

You were very polite in your desciption.

I've always called this effect "the cow's udders"

On that vein - a word of advice for all you breast feeding mums out there I have just dropped my youngest off at playschool and seen a lady with her lovely new baby wearing a white T.Shirt and you can see her breast pads like two headlamps through it.

Dilemma - do I point this out to her when I go back because I am sure she can't realise or do I let her carry on all day in blissfull ignorance!

My mate calls it the pork joint, as the person looks like a piece of pork tied-up with string before roasting.

He is a cruel person.

urghhhhhhh Hairy backs, dredlock pits, ill fitting bras....


Ive now been put of me beans!!! grose


The shoe stickers are a pet hate of mine also.

What about people who wear trackie bottoms with shoes!!!!

release the fashion police....

perhaps the shoe sticker people don't know how to remove the labels.

some can be a bit tricky and almost welded to the sole.

top tip: spray some perfume on them and then the label peels of quite easily.

I should be on TV with knowledge like that :D

While the fashion police are here... those big thick woolly polo neck tops with no sleeves. If it's cold enough for a jumper, it's cold enough for sleeves.

I sound just like my mum.

I find it hard to believe nobody has mentioned the ultimate sin yet; sandals with socks, especially when worn by German tourists on holiday! :gag:

Urgh, Kristian - maybe we were all trying to supress that image!

Another fashion crime... male joggers in their little satin shorts, who find it acceptable to do their warm-up stretches in public. Maybe they think "peepage" is attractive?

Cough! At the risk of answering on topic :rolleyes: which I don't usually :D how much did you spend on making yourself look that stupid? Just peel them off!

My dad always says 'A good soldier never looks behind'.

This is a hint that:
Your hair is sticking out at the back
Your shirt is untucked
You've sat in something
Your skirt is tucked in
Any other someting-you-can't-see unless you look properly!

I mentioned that on first page. :suspect:

What about men with big muscles walking around in those baggy cotton patterened trousers usually stripey, wearing vests with orange sun bed tan and sometimes topped off with a bandana :gag:

Usually to be seen arm in arm with a big busted orange sun bed tanned girl!!!

You mentioned socks with sandles, I mentioned sandals with socks! Technically a different fashion disaster, and punishable under a different section of the law in the 'Fashion and Public Decency Act 2004' ;) :D

Yes - what a wonderful fashion trend/faux pas that was! Posers eh?! Ya gotta hate em...

Why don't people dress smart any more... and why do women insist on dressing like blokes 'cos it's comfy'?

Perhaps this should be a new thread !!!

Maybe a MOD could adjust the title and add Fashion Disasters!:thumbsup:

just for the record I ADORE hairy men!!

When I met my husband one of the first things I wanted to ask him was did he have a hairy chest - and he does!!

Hairy men - very sexy:)

There's hairy and then theres the "full mohair jumper when naked" look. :gag:

would rather have mohair jumper man than shiny smooth man anyday:)

I knew a German lass who looked like that :gag:

Oh the shoes thing gets me too. I only saw a small clip of 'the' wedding on saturday and my 1st comment was i hope she took the label off the bottom of her shoes as she knelt down.
