I recently suggested to a boyfriend of 2 years that we give each other a foot massage. Up til now, I've always been the one to give them to him, so I figured, well, you can't expect to get what you don't ask for.....hence the suggestion.
WHen he touched my feet, he exclaimed that they're really "hard". He said, "it's like the bottom of a shoe!!" I think that's an exaggeration, but admittedly my heels are kind of hardened. I attribute that to years of dance classes (in which we were always barefoot), followed by a year of running barefoot, and even a few barefoot instances of rock climbing, before I bought proper shoes. But, I haven't done any of that in a while, so am not sure those are the cause, or if it's me or my genes.

I realize most of you in this group are men, and the women in your life aren't as likely to be turned off by things like this, so maybe you've had no comments that would point it out to you. But, I'm wondering how hard your feet are. I"m also wondering if anyone knows if feet tend to stay hard once they get that way.

THis isn't a "does this make me look fat?" type of question, so I'm not fishing for flattery.
In spite of a little disappointment over his negative reaction, I'm fine with it, but am just wondering if this has been caused by my barefoot lifestyle, or if it could be indicative of something else.
