This is a shout out to all the highly dateable men in the world who make the single worst mistake you can with a woman on a date: wearing bad shoes.
Consider your date like a souffle. Once it falls, nothing can save it. Perhaps you've been tap dancing around a gorgeous brunette for weeks and finally she says yes to a date. You fatten your wallet and make plans to impress her with an obscure French country bistro tucked away in a secret urban garden.
The sommelier gives you a discreet nod of respect in regard to your wine choice. Your date is smiling. She leans in closer. She seems interested. Only she's not. Not anymore.
When you sat down to dinner, your pant legs lifted and exposed your yellow-balled socks
When you sat down to dinner, your pant legs lifted and exposed your yellow-balled socks tucked inside your "slightly cracked" black dress shoes with laces that droop over the sides like baby basset hound ears. Before you even ordered, the souffle fell.
Footwear: The fatal flawWhen you sat down to dinner, your pant legs lifted and exposed your yellow-balled socks What you may not know is that men's shoes are the Potential Factor deal breaker in your date. If the night was reversed and your shoes were fabulous but you took her to a greasy spoon pizza joint, most likely you would be granted your wish for a second date. It's much easier to make excuses for greasy pizza than it is for bad taste in shoes. To put care into the woo factor of a date but not your own footwear is considered by women a permanent error. A fatal flaw. Undeliverable.
Meeting a really super fabulous woman can be as easy as wearing a pair of really super fabulous shoes. So why am I giving away the golden ticket when it comes to winning a woman's heart? Simply this: I love men and I've seen too many of you blow it on the first date because of a lousy choice in shoes. I find it true in my own life that when I make better choices I get better results.
Men, instead of complaining about having to do something different, go buy a pair of really super fabulous shoes. Make sure they are a pair that brings out the most attractive qualities about you. Then wear those on a date. Or just wear them. I'll bet you ten bucks that you'll be pleased with the results.
