    1. Both pairs of shoes should have been the same colour for a true result
    2. The women was much more confident and cheerful with the heels on. Notice how she was actually walking around and inviting people in. But with the flats she seemed slightly nervous and less confident.

      Sorry, but only a woman could pin the result on the shoes color or the girl's behavior. The short answer is, men love girls in heels. Beige, red or silver shoes. Worn by shy, average or brazen women.

    Heels make every woman with good legs look 100% better. They change our body shape (accentuate our boobs and butt and elongate the legs) and give those of us who mastered heels an amazing walk. I spend probably 75% of my life in heels. The right makeup and heels complete the perfect outfit and men love them.

    I feel like it's also has to do with the socialization of what we should wear in a professional setting. I feel like heels say she's doing this for a research for her job and she means business in heels. At least in media movies and tv shows that's what you'll tend to see quite often

      This may not be a scientific answer. Perhaps the heels made her feel hotter and that shines through. So indirectly they made her more attractive. I do believe there's physical aspects to. Just answering your point that she was smiling or perhaps because she felt better about herself more confident in the heels.

    You might also just be taller.
    Or it might just be that you look more feminine, and therefore prettier and more confident.
    Try different fashion choices to prove the experiment.
    • Try a more elegant hairstyle
    • Try more noticeable, prettier earrings
    • Try wearing a dress instead of pants
    High heels may well be one of a few different options that have a similar effect, and not the only option.

    Over the years, I have noticed that when ever I hear the click of a woman walking in heels, and
    when I look around, one thing I notice is that ALL the other men immediately look up to see who is wearing those heels.
    As for comfort, my wife has told me that heels are not uncomfortable or hard to walk in
    if you first take the time to get used to wearing them and if you make sure to buy heels that
    actually fit properly and are designed properly. Another female friend I have literally wears heels all the time
    and she says they are more comfortable for her then flat shoes.
    My wife told me that the Pleaser platforms she has,
    which have 6" heels, are extremely comfortable because of the soft insole and the fact that
    the heel height relative to platform height makes it such that her foot is not in some painful ballet position.
    Anyway, this is just what I have been told by two women and what I have observed myself. I know
    that personally, I find women who wear heels much more attractive then those who just beebop
    around in flats or tenny runners. It's kind of like the difference between the nice Enkei wheels on
    an Infiniti Q60S and the boring steel wheels on a base Kia. Of course, even the hottest pair of Pleaser heels
    will not make a totally over weight unattractive woman miraculously attractive. They are just the
    icing on the cake for many of us guys.

    The results weren't representative at all. She basically changes her approach when she wore heels. She was much happier and warm towards people. She is the one who made herself seem like a bore in flats. I mean, so many people go outside to shoot staff in flats, talk to strangers and get a good amount of response. I did a research paper, went to the field in flats and people were very warm. If they didn't want to take part, it was because of the subject in question as opposed to the shoes I was wearing. So this test is a joke.

    I'm gonna guess that it's not necessarily that heels make a woman sexy, BUT that men may "assume" that a woman is after a man's attention if she goes through the trouble to wear heels. So, inclusion, men give more attention to a woman who seems to be after a man's approval/ a man's attention vs a woman in flats, who would appear to care more about her objective (not catching a man.).

    I think this might have been executed better if the woman with the clipboard was unaware of the experiment. I think if she were told she would be given money for each person she got to stop for her, no matter which pair of shoes she wore, then it would have not been biased. Yes, I agree with those that are noticing on the video, it seemed like she was more persistent and approachable when she had the heels on. So maybe the experiment was not for the men, but rather for the woman with the clipboard, in that SHE felt more confident herself because of her shoes. Obviously people will gravitate towards a confident person more than a less confident person.

    @tltinatl 7 лет назад

    Couldn't it be that she's taller and therefore more noticeable in the heels? Also, with the few additional inches of height, she's closer to eye level with more men and it's easier for her to make eye contact with them from farther away. Finally, this is a terrible comparison because the heels are shiny and look like something for business attire or a party while the flats she chose are shapeless and look like something not even meant to leave the house in.
    They "make women look more like women"? Oh please.

    I love heels. They are gorgeous and make your legs look thinner. Also they improve your posture.

    Do the type of shoes women wear impact on the way men react to them? Of course they do. Man's mind is weak against mindtricks like this. :D Sexiness sells...
