Posted by: barefootfootseeker Nov 28 2021, 07:58 AM

I know that some of you will disagree with my view, but I really feel that debuts of new models at City Feet over the last two years have been very disappointing, and I miss a lot some of the models of the previous period.
Paul, please, bring back at least a few of these models for encores, and stop shooting with the insignificant/ugly models of the last two years:
Alla (my favourite of the last 4-5 years): http://www.city-feet.com/models/252/view
Yana: http://www.city-feet.com/models/249/view
Elina: http://www.city-feet.com/models/245/view
Olga/Valeria: http://www.city-feet.com/models/238/view
Angelika: http://www.city-feet.com/models/236/view
Alexandra: http://www.city-feet.com/models/232/view
Liza: http://www.city-feet.com/models/224/view
Nastya (wonderful): http://www.city-feet.com/models/221/view
Sofia/Mila: http://www.city-feet.com/models/220/view
Lana/Sveta (fantastic): http://www.city-feet.com/models/215/view

Looking at your favourites, Barefootfootseeker, I see you like a particualr 'type'.

Needless to say this type is diametrically opposed the type that I'd want to see.

You seem to favour what I always think of as 'Racehorse' looks: tall, slim, long-limbed, athletic, conventionally beautiful.

As I say, to each his own but I'd much prefer to see models return like

Maria: http://www.city-feet.com/models/266/view

Anna: http://www.city-feet.com/models/269/view

Natalia: http://www.city-feet.com/models/260/view

Alena: http://www.city-feet.com/models/258/view

Diana: http://www.city-feet.com/models/254/view

and from ages ago, Alexandra: http://www.city-feet.com/models/163/view

I'd assume that these are amongst your least viewed models but Paul caters to all tastes, thank goodness.

Good on him.

Mike123.

There is actually nothing that surprises me in your comment, Mike123. But you should have written "non-viewed" rather than "least viewed" models, because I have not subscribed to City Feet since the last update starring Alla, February 2020. And the reason are exactly the models that you like so much, and that I find absolutely unattractive. I would also say that over the last two years Paul has catered a lot to guys with the same tastes as your own, and not at all to guys with the same tastes as my own. So it is definitely not true that Paul has "catered to all tastes" over the last two years. The only site that currently caters to my tastes is Barefoot Urban Girls.

Thank you for your appreciation about https://barefoot-urban-girls.com/ in this.. traditionally hostile section of the forum, amico!

(not that people in the other sections are much friendlier

)
Indeed I wonder whether the remarkable increase in the number of subscribers that BUG experienced over the last couple of years is at least in part related to what seems to be a deliberate commercial strategy by Pavel to focus on (to say it a-la-Mike123

).. "workhorse models"..

We indeed have plenty of purebred "racehorse models" in BUG's racing stable!

Yes Mike 123, it indeed is "to each his own" here in terms of types & tastes. Of the batch you just listed, I can agree with you on a few.
Lovely Alena...who I still have a crush on...http://www.city-feet.com/models/258/view...and at least we agree on a name....Alexandra, for sure...but not the one you selected....instead, I choose THIS one

You are welcome, Feetosopher. Back in 2014 or 2015, I would not have stated that I preferred Barefoot Urban Girls to City Feet. But I have to acknowledge that whereas you managed to improve the already very high quality of your model roster with beautiful newcomers (Amelie, Fairy, Gold Chanel, Elettra, Charlotte, Purple Queen, Fenice, just to name my favourite ones), the beauty of City Feet newcomers has dramatically declined over the last 3-4 years. For my tastes of course: Mike123 has exactly the opposite view.

Thank you very much again, amico!

Yeah, I know too well that Mike123 would not join BUG even under the threat of a loaded gun!!!

To be fair, Mr Feetosopher, I took a quick look at your winter barefooting stream and there was some decent stuff on there.

Know what I WISH, though? I just wish you - and Paul and others to be honest - would take more shots of the girls barefoot amongst a throng of shod people to REALLY bring out the contrast and the vulnerability of our - your - heroines.

I say again, just to have someone pose without shoes with no-one else around is kind of sterile.

But, no, nice one on the winter stuff.

Mike123.

You show very poor knowledge of what The Feetosopher offers at Barefoot Urban Girls, Mike123. I would say that 70% of The Feetosopher's shootings take place in very crowded locations. Verona, Venice and Garda Lake are wordlwide tourist attractions. It is difficult to find places with nobody around in those locations, unless you shoot in the suburbs, which is something that The Feetosopher only rarely does. He usually shoots in downtown, so there is often a lot of shod people around in his pictures and videos.
If you say that you do not like The Feetosopher's work because it's mostly posed/staged picures and videos, that is a fair statement (even though he offers more on-the-fly, candid-style pictures and videos than you seem to think of). But sure The Feetosopher rather rarely has "someone pose without shoes with no-one else around". Also considering that the subscription fee to Barefoot Urban Girls is very cheap (11.95 USD/month), my suggestion is that you join the site for just one month, and check what The Feetosopher really offers to subscribers.

Oho.. you stated that some stuff of mine is no less than "decent".. I am really touched, Mike123.. too kind of you, thank you sooo much!!!

Indeed barefootfootseeker is right.. I shoot in very crowded locations pretty often!

I know that you never waste your precious time looking at my promotional threads in the forum, so just let me paste some pictures below
for your convenience.. just to let you see that I am telling no lie!

(or do you really think that I created the people in the pics with Photoshop?

)
Oh, and do not bother writing the countless flaws that the pictures below have in your opinion, in spite of being taken with plenty of shod people around.
I know all my "faults" TOOOOOO well!

My girls are too "conventionally beautiful", too tanned (or not tanned enough

), too fit; weather in Italy is too sunny and warm;
the pictures were not taken in Slough, Swindon, Humberside, Stoke-On-Trent or some nondescript suburban supermarket in Moscow.. Etc. etc. etc.

@barefootfootseeker: thank you so much for your.. promotional efforts in BUG's favour, amico! Yet any attempt targeted at Mike123 is useless!
I guess that 10 years ago or so he decided that my stuff was not good for him.. so, irrespective of any evolution there may have been in the meantime,
even ONE PENNY spent on BAREFOOT URBAN GIRLS is a huge waste of money to him!

Good counterattack, my dear friend. As I was wondering what was Mike123 talking about. You have everything in your galleries he is "missing"...

Posted by: Mike123 Dec 6 2021, 09:55 AM

It's a shame Mr Feetosopher didn't receive my comments in the same generous spirit they were intended.
As you say, gb62da, it sounded more like a counter attack, a fusilade of artillery in response to an olive branch.

Seems like he can't see my name without feeling under attack.

Thanks for the photos. I acknowledge these girls are very pretty but all my prior reservations still apply.

I shall stick with CF.

Fraternally,

Mike123.

You and I have been - politely, most of the times - disagreeing on NEARLY any topic related to female barefooting since I joined this forum, Mike123!

Yet I believe that I have always acknowledged your intelligence and elegance, even when you make not-so-appreciative statements about me,
the girls I work with and the sites that I feed/used to feed.
And I have always given you the merit that I think you deserve (e.g., for that thread about Indian barefoot beauties).
Do not worry: I took your statement about my fall/winter barefooting stuff as a (mildly

) appreciative one!
It's just that what you also wrote about the content of BUG was clearly inaccurate, so I had to rectify that.
I know too well that whatever changes I may bring to BUG, you will always choose CF.. mine wasn't certainly an attempt at convincing you to try
joining BUG for just one month.. I know that it could never happen..

Let's hope that we will keep on disagreeing amicably on nearly everything that has to do with barefoot women for many, many more years!

Posted by: Mike123 Dec 8 2021, 06:05 PM

In the seasonal spirit, Mr F, I shall reaise a glass to you and join you in looking forward to many more years of friendly debate via these pages.

Cheers,

Mike123.

I fully agree with you, gb62da, but I think that Mike123 is against any posed pictures, so he clearly cannot enjoy The Feetosopher's style in photography, which is instead one of the aspects that I like most of Barefoot Urban Girls, together with girls talking in the videos, and the great variety of locations and situations.

Posted by: gb62da Dec 12 2021, 04:46 AM

Well, Mike123 has his own taste and preference. Which is totally ok.
