He's most likely saying stuff to get attention and wind people up. No one in this day and age says something like that unless they are trying to get people to notice. It's not like they are cute, well groomed guys so what else are they gonna do?
If I want to see guys that homely, I don't have to tune into A & E. All I need to do is open my front door.
I wear tennis shoes in Honey Creek because the rocks are really slippery. I went barefoot and got too many things stuck in my feet. Had to get them removed at the hospital, so, I try never to go barefoot if it can be helped unless it's a swimming pool.
