There are FAR more important things than "looks", they are more likely to be seen as a sex object , a conquest that once achieved can be abandoned for the next "pretty wee thing"

 

Give me educated, intelligent, kind, compassionate, and someone I can talk to for the rest of my life, all the skin deep stuff fades over time/

 

 

There are far more important thing to YOU than looks. That doesn't cover everyone, including the women themselves. 

 

The suggestion that women ONLY wear high heels for other people or because of an unspoken rule, or because they feel compelled to, is patently untrue. 

 

Sorry, you're wrong networkn. Sociology , the study of human social behaviour, has lots of evidence about the pressures women face to behave in certain ways, and that includes high heels and being 'beautiful' in general.

It doesn't work with 'rules' , it's more subtle than that but works to build up beauty as being very valuable to women. 

Of course it works to build up other attributes as valuable to men as well.
