I agree with The Face Of Boo. I can fit in, and being "different" really isn't that attractive a prospect to have forever. Though I like who I am sometimes, it's not right to just expect people to accept me without trying to conform. Anyway, off topic. My tip-toe walking is of the "ballerina" variety. If I could stop, I would. My roomate nags me all the time. It's just something I do without thinking. I was just wondering if that was a contributing factor as to why guys don't approach me.

Then I'd suggest to practice walking normally, start doing it at home, or get comfortable high heels, I dunno but do something about it.

I tiptoe quite a bit... when i'm not bouncing the balls of my feet off the ground seconds after they've touched it. I've always done this, and still get lots of attention from males. It must not be that big of a turn-off, and certainly not weird enough to stop doing.

Besides, why would men find high-heels sexy if they couldn't handle a bit of toe-walking?

It is bad for your feet, though, so finding ways to stop for the benefit of your feet would be a very good idea.

That doesn't mean it would affect the others' chances. Maybe your tiptoe walking isn't as obvious or frequent as others.

Like to the point where women have made jokes about me being a ballerina dancer? :lol:
It still doesn't seem that like big of a deal-breaker. Hell in my opinion it shouldn't be a deal-breaker.
If it is to some individuals, then most definitely that's a red flag not to pursue that person.


Maybe you are too attractive for this to be a deal-breaker to anyone, I dunno.

But the fact that Quarky started this thread, can only means she's struggling in that area, so she's giving a thought what wrong she might be doing.

Let her try. If you go to the WP and read Kirsten's story, you can see that change doesn't always make you less happy.


Hmm, I don't try to make excuses for my behavior so who knows. :shrug:
I'm strange but I'm ok with that, so that might be something she might be dealing with on her own.
At the end of the day yes, she's free to choose her own way over anyone else's.

and insulting me doesn't make you more right btw.

My apologies if that's how I sounded through any of this discussion, though I see how I may have come across a bit harsh.

it wont bother me, but that's maybe becouse i'm also a toe-walker.
if i'm not wearing something with soles, i walk on my toes, and even with shoes on, i balance on my toes regularly, for some reason.
if i'm under stress, i go further, from 'reagular' toe walking to true tiptoeing, like a balarina; it's weirder on me though, since i'm a guy.

wearing heels might indeed cover it up in your case, since it will most likely be seen as 'weird' by NT's

That wouldn't turn me off, I like some individuality in a partner.
I did used to tip-toe walk when stressed and a few years ago I fell and had to have an operation on my knee. After that though I stopped tiptoeing.
Oh and happy birthday Quarky.
