Rick,
i saw one movie that said all the gay porn goes to the midwest so maybe it was your shorts they were gawking at.

Jen, viv a vis your short leg: We all knew you were a bit unbalanced. Now we know it's anatomically based.
I got a great reaction yesterday when I was running along the Schuylkill River Trail: a youngish woman ran by me going downhill while I ran up. She was giving my feet the bent eye as we passed. About 10 yards later I heard her burst out with this lovely burbling laugh as she ran along. She was the bright spot of a steamy, post- Maine-vacation run.

Had a lady tell me that running barefoot was bad for my knees. I thought of stopping to discuss it with her but I was flying down hill and was having too much fun to care.
yesterday passed two women hiking who were fully geared up. huge back packs, poles, boots, and who knows what else.
w1-"omg your feet!"
me-"what's wrong with them?" kinda angrily, surprise surprise
w1-"they're cute!"
me-laughing-"wow. never heard that before. thanks."

Jen, you're just jealous because nobody has admitted to finding your feet cute lately.
This doesn't really have anything to do with being barefoot - but it was hilarious nonetheless. I was just finishing up my run in my skimpy running clothes when I pass a group of 10/11 year old boys out for a woodsy day-camp hike. I said hello to them, and one of them says, "Hellllloooooooo LAY-DEEEEE!!!" I had to attach a video of my impersonation so you guys could laugh. You dirty old men start young, eh? 
Not to take things to seriously, but there was a cool edition of This American Life (500th episode, production team's favourite bits) on the radio where a guy who'd been a woman and was taking testosterone supplements spoke of the radical shift in his reactions to "visual stimulation" as the hormone kicked in. We just can't help it - we're hard-wired.
Video was too short, and I usually complain about videos being too long.This doesn't really have anything to do with being barefoot - but it was hilarious nonetheless.

"Dirty old man" . . . is there any other kind of old man?
OK, how about "verbal dirty old men" -BWAHAHAHAAAAAA!!! Oh, and just for the record, I am a "verbal cat-calling dirty old woman" -especially in the summer! Surprise surprise! (And it's just a matter of time before I, slip, and cat-call a woman).

Dare I speak up and say that while I know that some men are less "discreet" than others, I really hate the term "dirty old men" for men expressing interest in females.
Perhaps there's a sense that it would suit some folks for older men to just pack it in at some point and become dried up old Baptists. Some of those who are doing the critical thinking might just be dried up old Baptist women.
I for one wish to avoid ever becoming any sort of dried up thing, and so will happily run the risk of occasional verbal appreciations.
Jen, I would guess that you are fully hydrated.
HSB, I think I would accept the D.O.M. reference when it comes to inappropriate attention to underage of either sex.
I was not intending to imply that all verbal appreciation is indiscreet. Delivery perhaps, sometimes, but that is certainly a matter of perspective.

...anyway, I agree with you. My preferred term is "lech." (or is it "letch?")
I visited the New Jersey shore for the first time a couple of weeks ago. New Jersey charges you $8 to be on the beach after 9:00 a.m. Incredulous, I know. They do let you run on the beach before 9:00 a.m. "as long as you keep moving." I was on the boardwalk and passed a couple of locals who had just finished their run. Her comment was "you can run on the beach!!!" I suppose I could have stopped and explained how soft surfaces encourage bad form, blah, blah, blah, but why bother? I just smiled to myself and kept going.
