Well I have a crew cut and about ten pairs of Birkenstocks, so what with that and not being pretty, there's no hope.

Lose the Birkenstocks. You will immediately increase your attractiveness by 400%.

Comfort before pride as my old Dad says!

Im wearing a fitted black shirt, black skirt and sandals, and I have some turquoise jewellery on for a bit of colour.

I reserve the right to look daggy at work.:eek:

Disagree. I've met many a pretty girl with pretty feet who wear Birkenstocks precisely because they are better than any other sandal, and doesn't want to wear thongs, shoes or trainers. My wife wears them - and has several pairs.

The foot sits in the moulded sole nicely:p - you don't get ugly toes splayed out all over the joint....or ugly leather bands or lacing. A sleek effect..

B*gger! do you think that is the reason I am invisible? Will totter off to buy 6" stilettos immediately (cant do much about the short hair though - my natural locks if left to their own would be greying ringlets, not a good look on a 60 year old!) Will also make concerted effort to stop wearing black!

Nah, I am totally invisible. Stand in a queue with a gorgeous 6ft bloke behind me and the teenage bimbos at service counters look through me every time. Sometimes it really p*sses me off and I can be very assertive - have been on occasion too and even occasionally stormed out of places when been ignored (all depends on my mood though). I do find it is the young females who ignore me the most and probably because their antennae are tuned to finer things!

I would love to meet your wife - you are obviously besotted and find her the most attractive creature to have ever lived.

From your posts I have built up a mental picture:

sandal wearing
very attractive
upper english accent
sleek
with an extraordinary straight back and neck
a long nose
been around the block a bit :rofl:

I've started to notice them more this last few years. :p My wife didn't know she had nice feet until men started to compliment her on them. Her arches have not collapsed, and she can point her toes unusually due to her training. She sits and watches TV and does it.

There was a petite woman, 20s, on the tram this arvo - absolutely tiny feet - shod in thongs. She had the most fantastic toes. They sat close together, and the toenails were unpainted. Have to admit, if a woman has great feet, there is never a need for varnish and it is completely superfluous, maybe even ugly.

She is amazing but not perfect! I don't think I have ever mentioned her accent. She speaks English nicely, not effected, but calm, with good diction - but she will occasionally mumble which can be difficult. Maybe even a tad Australian, and people who follow my posts know that I think there are lots of nice Australian accents. She is bi-lingual, and has begun to pick up a third - therefore our children are bi-lingual as we thought we would experiment with that.

She is of less than medium height, medium build, and has the body of a dancer - but with natural curves - with round buttocks and a scoop in the back. She has an hour-glass figure. She is not petite. She appears taller than she is. She has a bearing and posture that makes people ask whether she is a dancer. She did infact dance professionally with a company in London and Paris.

Even after 3 children she is amazing. I have photos of her when the girls were small where she looks like the most amazing yummy mummy!
She's a great mother - and there are people out there who say she is the best they have met.:) She also has the ability to put everyone at ease.

Darling, I don't need high heeled shoes to make me attractive. I didn't say I don't own any - I have quite a lot - but when I wear them, I wear them for me, and nobody else.

You didnt mention her accent but you did mention her carriage and grace, and I got this vision of mary poppins!

Its nice to hear someone openly appreciative of their partner, too often people makes jokes about how awful they are.
