Re: How's u guys persuade your mate to wear KEDS?
I've had this issue work out, or not work out, a number of ways, depending on the woman. The easiest case was "Spanky" -- she had some needs of her own, and she played along with mine, although she ragged me about my Keds thing, which she considered low-rent. "If you've gotta have a shoe fetish," she'd say, "why not Prada?" With another woman, she figued out the fetish on her own and also played along - it was all a wink and a nod with her, we didn't really talk about it much. For others, though, coming out was either a deal-killer, or I kept my thing to myself, because I knew it wasn't going to sell.
I agree with all the posters who say you've got to work up to coming out to your woman, by asking her to wear sexy clothes for you first, and seeing how she reacts, before you tell her everything about what's sexy for you. If she won't even put on a pair of tight jeans for you, you can forget about her wearing anything that she might consider even remotely pervy. I also agree that once you're out to her, she needs repeated reassurance that it's her you find sexy, and that you don't see her just as a model for the shoes.
The bottom line, though, is that your fetish isn't going away, and you have to find a woman who's comfortable with that. Otherwise, you'll either be hiding it from her, or be in conflict with her about it, and neither one of those is any good if you're going to be with her long term. But good women are out there, and you should keep looking until you find one.
