to girls about leg extension :
get real, men are not stupid,
men do not get fooled by silicons, hairdo, dress or high heels.
when i see Pamela, my hormons do not get excited at all, all I see is a women pretending she has something which she has not, probably pathetic looking boobs if teh silicons are taken out,
and I MAKE A NOTE - EMOTIONALY, MENTALY UNSTABLE.
the same goes for hairdo, dress etc, hairdo-she is trying to distract from ugly face? dress - she is trying to hide fat here or fat there ?
so the high heels - 10 inch needless or 22mm of rubber - I see short women, short legs trying to pretend teh legs are longer that they really are, and I make a note - emotionaly, mentaly unstable.
when I talk to a women and her eyes are about my level, I look at the shoes and take away the
silicon heel implants hight

, to get real hight, I look at the shape of calves and thinghts to get teh picture about the legs.
I can also see a woman standing with un-naturaly twisted pelvic and unnaturaly bended spine, and make a note - she would likely complain about back pain all 9 months during preganacy and the 3 years after that.
This fits with the conclusions of some behavioural analysts :
women do teh hair, dress, shoes, makeups and other accessories, not for men, but for other women.
women consiously or subconsiously know or intuitively feel, that all that stuf does not work for teh men at all, and is actualy counterproductive, but they do not care anyway, it is about female ranking, pecking order, it is womens world insiders competitions about who is in the fashion loop
and who is not, who has better hairdresser etc, this goes in teh school, in teh office, at the sport club, at pokies, grandmas at bingo, at party, shopping mol, school mums etc.
At the end it is a showoff who has access to deepest credit card.
which leads to another pointy - who is the running shoe customer ?
big market is the school kids, it is kinda part of high school uniform, although some school are trying to stop this with their policies, it could be more american thingie - the tantrums of not going to school if parents do not buy the latest runners - it is so cool to to smoke, drink and do drugs in latest Nike's
but this is oscilating between running and basketball shoes.
heel strike and shoes. the statistics aans studies of how many % of runner at marathons do heel strike etc is quite missleading and it is the result of shoes.
Take teh shoes off, and You cant heel strike everybody would be fron striker or at least midfootstriker. so what was first - lazy bum wanted to heelstrike so was forced to buy rubber highheels, or was it shoes first and laziness in the body found out it is possible to jog heelstriking.
these are 2 extreme side of the spektrum, but as You cut down the mm under the heel more and more runners would move towards mid or front strike away from heel, with Volleys not many would be able to survive heel striking, etc, with racing flats it could be close to 50-50 perhaps.
so in my view, it is the shoe which determines the type of strike,
and it requires extremely flexible ankles to be able to front strike in highheels.
I will use example of 2 of my friends here, hoping their would not mind for educational purposes.
Vlastik found the shoe - asics nimbus to fit his style and his feet and learn to run at efficient for him biomechanics, where the nimbus become part of his legs, nimbus possibly the most cushioning shoes
but cushioning in kinda the best posible way, allow him (he is quite light skinny) to keep heelstriking at reasonable pace and do it for hours and hours, perhaps 10 hours each day for months, crossing the continent in all sorts of directions. He si worried every year, what the new nimbus model would look like, if it would be the same, and I feel that if the asics stops making nimbus, his running is in trouble.
Yiannis came to Colac for 6 days with maybe 20 pairs of racing flats, various model and manufacturers, all pairs were old, well used, most past their advertised lifespan. As Yiannis got tired over the days and nights, and his muscles depleted (he was refusing to eat properly), he could not maintain his biomechanics, his typical running posture and succumbed to jog - heel striking on the surface which become very hard (hot dry weather, grass converetd to hard compacted dirt)
his legs became so painfull, knees and shin bones, it became the issue of freezing it with ice and the painkillers pills. On day 5 Vlastik took off his nimbus and gave to Yiannis, Vklastik had some old training pair which he could use. Yiannis run in Vklastik's nimbus for maybe 10-16 hours
and got a pain relieve, lett8ing the nimbus to do the job, which his muscles were no longer able to do
Of course Yiannis was running much slower, he usualy makes up the distance first 2 days, for the last night and last morning Yiannis put on again old racing flats to be able to pick up teh pace and do teh records, interstingly Vlastik was running with him-pacing him in his heel striking nimbus, but Vlastik was taking breaks here and there and let Yiannis on his own.
I doubt that Asics invented nimbus, for teh purpose that some ultrarunners could cross the continent
or use during 6D world record attempt when tired, such a market is too small
