There's a biological reason for shoe collecting, but I don't know if it's been researched beyond marketers targeting women.
Me neither, it's a difficult subject Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!, but I do believe in free will. But of course there's always boundaries to what I can do with my will, and maybe those boundaries are what is predetermined? Or every path is accounted for but we only see the one we take? Much like the electron exists in every place it can be at, but when we look at it it's fixed at one place. There's alot of threads dealing with these issues already but if I find something I think hasn't been discussed perhaps I'll start a new one Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! always have liked free will discussions ha ha.
There's a biological (need to have shoes) but an evolutionary? And would there be any reason to think that there is a difference with males and females in this matter? But of course, to some extent "taste" of shoes (which would be in the shoe-fetishist interest) could be a indicator of seeing patterns in society in order to adapt to current society. Which would also be the reason why we like certain tastes of clothes generally (fashion). Perhaps the shoe-fetishists evolutionary reason for preparation is so that we can walk better or faster? For what reason? Well, I don't know Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! perhaps because of a slippery ice-age coming? lol Wow, I can see the future!
Of course, all behavior is evolutionary. The average female loves lots of shoes. The average male doesn't share that. Yep Ain't it great?
But why do we scratch our wounds, if so, or rather...why do we scratch at all - all my life I've heard that I shouldn't scratch if it itches. Would there be any disadvantages to not scratching (except for nervous breakdown)? Perhaps because they want to look different all the time (boredom?) and we want to look the same. Nah, I don't know, ice age seems rather cold for me, I have enough snow here in Sweden as it is. Global warming looks promising though.
