Why Do Women Show Only Their Feet In Pool/Beach Photos?

[saibot]

When I read this thread yesterday, I thought, "Hmm, I've never noticed this 'trend'." Today on Facebook four people I know posted foot-and-scenery pics. (Two of those were men.) Are they all on C-D? Is it contagious?

Apparently these women are not showing enough of their bodies to the OP.

Creepy.

(And yes, this is the same guy who gets mad at objects not being where he thinks they should be. And the same guy who made his toddler walk on hot pavement in the summer when he took his shoes off. And the same guy who gets mad at rainy and cloudy days because he thinks the sun should be out.)

You have wayyyyyy too much time on your hands and if this is the only thing bothering you enough to post about it, you are very fortunate, because that is really not a problem at all.

I know a woman who does this everywhere she goes. Photos include her bare feet at the beach, boots somewhere else, etc. This is a signature photo-taking procedure for her. But I don't think she realizes that it's important ONLY TO HER! I know that I don't give a rat's a-- about looking at her feet, and I doubt anyone else does, and those don't go into my photo albums.

Besides... some people have really ugly feet.

So that's my opinion - just what the OP asked for, and I'm sticking to it.

Good for you, and so am I.

I've been on a trip the past few days myself, the reason why I've not posted back until today, and yes it is not always possible to get the best shot possible with all the hurrying about and such that goes with a trip. Yet, that being said, I've made a point to get GOOD photos of this trip, GOOD ones, and yes some of them were silly ones, but many of them have been good ones with some effort made towards getting them.

And yes--I've shown photos of the scenery itself without my darned feet in them, because, frankly, something pretty like the Grand Canyon should be shown as it is, not with someone's feet blocking or obstructing things. I also have photos of me swimming, and you see ME, warts and all, because to me that's just normal.

With respect to the "feet only" photos, to the ones who say "if you don't like it don't look" or "it's their photos"--well, in them putting them in a feed, they're WANTING people to look at them. It is the most natural thing in the world for a person to have an opinion about what is being shown to them.

To me, this whole thing of showing the feet and only the feet reminds me years ago of that "Howdy-Ho Neighbor" guy from "Home Improvement" (Mr Wilson, or Earl Hindman) where you never saw his face. I always thought that was so stupid. Show your stupid face already, stop being ridiculous. It was just annoying and silly to me (and this was a man, so "dirty man fantasies" had nothing to do with it). Heck if I'd been made king for a day back then I'd made his face be shown. It was just so stupid to me. This whole thing of you only seeing a woman's feet in a beach photo, to me, is the same sort of thing. I agree, it's not something to get nasty or hateful in your attitude towards someone you know who does this, but yes it just seems silly to me.
