Crazy For Feet Forum

This is a very strong example of a foot fetishist completely misreading what seemed like VERY obvious signals. This is a 100% true account.

I was at the airport yesterday waiting for a flight that was delayed for 3 hours when a girl walked past me where I was sitting. She was wearing a short black and white striped summer dress and cute black open toed flats with a black bow over the top where the toes begin. Her legs were bare and her toes were a well-painted solid red. I looked at her as she passed, she looked at me, then looked away.

She sat down some seats away from me but in full view of me. This was coincidence. She sat with an older lady who was sleeping. That's when it started. I would glance at her every now and then and she would glance at me. She was playing with her shoes ferociously. She dangled, she dropped. She crossed her bare-footed legs over one another and flexed her toes. The whole time I was staring, and I don't usually do that. She saw me staring a number of times. I alternated my glance between her eyes and directly at her feet. She even stroked the leg of an adjacent chair with her bare foot at one point. She knew I was looking at her and she kept on shoeplaying like no one I'd ever seen.

I have to emphasize these points. The amount of shoeplay this girl was doing mirrored what we all see in those amateur fetish videos, videos that are sometimes paid for. We met each other's glances several times. My heart was racing. I was 100% convinced she knew what she was doing and that I was dealing with a bona fide female foot seductionist.

I was getting frustrated that I couldn't find the opportunity to go and talk to her. I coyly got her attention by writing in my notebook in black marker "Hi." "You are very pretty." and "Walk? Talk?" as I displayed it across the way from her. She smiled and nodded. I motioned for us to go down the hallway.

Now, friends, I thought it was in the bag at this point. Everything was ridiculously obvious, frighteningly so. I'm not one who thinks easily that a woman knows men are watching her feet. In fact, I think people jump to this conclusion far too often. But this girl was doing things right out of fetishist porn. I thought this was it. 100%.

But I was wrong. The girl was Russian and spoke about 5 words of English. I struggled to have a conversation with her and deduce intentions. I thought with the display she was giving, she would know I would be physically aroused but the types of things we managed to slowly talk about were all standard, safe, innocent "get to know you" questions. It wasn't the hookup situation I thought it was going to be. I complimented her, complimented her shoes, she smiled, but things went painfully slow. I was even forward enough to put my arm around her as we walked to test the waters but she squirmed away. She was interested in me, yes, but not enough to have an impromptu sexual encounter.

I found out she was 18. Ah, there's the explanation. A young, inexperienced, fidgety teenager who had no idea why someone kept looking at her. The sleeping person she was with? Her mother.

I got her e-mail address, then pretended to go and stand on line for my delayed flight. I wasn't looking to make an international, language impaired relationship.

It's not just that I was wrong, but I was wrong when I thought it was very, very right. Thoughts? Comments?

Hi, enjoyed reading youraccount, very frank and honest. I think we're all guilty of mis interpreting these signals sometimes, when you want something so much, it's very easy to see what's not there.

I must say I can't blame you on this occasion, especially with the eye contact as well. I must commend your courage in approaching her, at least you didn't just keep staring and creep her out. The fact is, that whist a lot of women are aware of foot and shoe fetish, there are not many that would risk teasing a total stranger that she thought was looking at her feet. Unfortunately, due tro the actions of some fetishists, like emailing celebs about their shoeplay and staring at, or even attempting to touch total strangers in public, we are often thought of as perverts and weird people.

I can undestand, when someone is young, the drive is so strong that it can make you do rash things. I was guilty of that myself when I was young. Fortunately, most of us, as we grow older learn to be more discreet. I have over the years, had several women indulge my fetish, including my wife of many years now. All of them however learned of my likes after being in a relationship for a while. If you try and approach a stranger and show interest in her feet before getting to know her, you are likely to get the " Oh my god he's one of those foot guys" response.

I suppose there are exeptions, but most of it belong in fiction. Anyway, those are just my thoughts, interesting to here other takes on it though ?

Wow...wow. Thanks for that doc2tone. I don't have much to add to uknylonfoot's post above. He's covered all the points quite well. I believe you acted in good faith based on what she was doing. There's no way to really no way to uncover the truth unless you go after her. Despite the results I'm glad you took the risk in approaching her. Had she been open to a sexual encounter you'd have had another great story to share.I hope this experience will not deter you from approaching in the future. But if you decide not to approach, then please film the action.

Again, I am amazed at how easy it is for a woman to push our buttons, even if it's wholly unintentional. Her actions were a metaphorical smart bomb right through your front door.

She reeled you in so easily I am reminded of a old worry of mine. When I was stationed in West Germany (back in the 1980s when there was an East and West Germany) they used to talk to us quite a bit about Operational Security, or OPSEC as the military's obsession with making everything an abbreviation or acronym. OPSEC involved not talking to local civilians about our work, missions, and general military matters. One of the things they warned us about was talking to women about what we did. I always imagined how easy it would be to lure a man with a fetish into a situation where he could be blackmailed by Warsaw Pact intelligence agencies. You and I and many of us on this board would have been fresh meat if the girl you'd met in the airport had been a Stasi or GRU asset.

Well, best of luck in future encounters, and thanks again for sharing.
