So, the length of my big toe is a problem, is it?

I recently spent the day with a platonic friend who's a bloke. We used to work together a few years ago and yes, I was a whole grade his senior, mainly because I worked hard to obtain a degree and basically I am have a superior intelligent (bitchy, moi?) Plus I am much more modest.

Compared to most blokes I know he's quite metrosexual. When I think back, he used to be so cute in that kind of slender pale skinned blue eyed Irish way that I'm so fond of. However, a combination of drinking too much and living a man about town lifestyle has prematurely aged him. He adores taking selfies and posting them to social media, even though I personally believe them to be unflattering.

He seemed to be in a bit of a mood in Wetherspoons because when I mentioned that my feet proudly feature on Fetlife under my LondonDuchess profile he started saying that the length of my second toes rendered my feet ugly to him. I suppose that I have the same size feet as him, but honestly - what a thing to say!

I did retaliate by saying that the pink muscle fit Topman t-shirt he was wearing should only be donned by men with a defined physique, toned pectorals and a six pack. See how you like them apples!

After extensive Googling(!) The condition is called Morton's Toe, it is fairly common and was revered in classical cultures. It's supposed to be a sign of high intelligence and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex also shares the condition.
