SHOCKING: You won't believe what this man did...

Just when you thought people couldn't get any weirder...this one ranks high on the list, alongside the woman I wrote about a while back who wanted to marry a tree.

I recently learned that my alma mater was on high alert after a man allegedly hid under a table in the campus library and smelled her feet. A man who matched the description of the "foot fetishist" was taken into custody earlier today, and police confirmed that they got their guy.

What would drive a person to do such a thing? Why would you want to be sniffing someone's feet in the first place? It's gross -- not to mention an invasion of privacy!

I've heard of people having foot fetishes before, but this is the first time I've learned of someone being caught in the act. I can't imagine what could be so stimulating about another person's foot -- let alone the smell it emits -- but it seems there's something out there for everyone to get turned on by.

What else might people find arousing? Garbage bags? Adams apples? Arm pits?

I know you guys will likely come up with a few nifty puns. I've already thought of some of my own:

This guy has a nose for toes
Talk about someone who wants to toe the line
He really put his foot down
He shot himself in the foot
By catching him this quickly, the police accomplished a major "feat"

Do you have Isolophilia? Find out...

You're probably asking yourself, "What in the world does Isolophilia mean?" It sounds like it would be something negative, doesn't it? After all, words that end in "philia" (e.g., pedophilia) tend to involve things we want nothing to do with. But Isolophilia isn't something all people deplore. In fact, introverts like me welcome it. Put simply, Isolophilia is defined as having a strong affinity for solitude. It describes a person who relishes being alone. While extroverts can only take so much solitude, we introverts find that it rejuvenates us. In order to recharge our batteries, we need to retreat to a quiet environment where we we're left alone to rest and/or gather our thoughts. Extroverts, on the other hand, become bored and drained when they're alone for a lengthy period of time. Social interaction is the fuel that drives them. So while an extrovert would probably do anything to avoid feelings of Isolophilia in most cases, an...

No response from someone IS a response

Make no mistake about it: When you don't get a response from someone -- whether they fail to answer your texts or return your phone calls -- it is still a response, and a powerful one at that. When a person fails to respond, it's a direct reflection of their interest -- or lack thereof -- in the relationship. Few things are more aggravating than having to hound a partner, friend, or relative for some sort of reply after we've reached out to them. Yes, we get busy from time to time, but that doesn't give anyone the right to leave the other person hanging. A terse text with something like "Been busy, will reach out soon" doesn't say much, but at least it shows some effort to bring the other person up to speed on why they've fallen off the radar. Failing to provide a response for weeks -- if not months -- communicates that you are just not a priority, and that you'll have to wait your turn to get this individual's attention. This is n...

An important note to women about men and attraction

I was raised by my mom, grandma, and two older sisters. Growing up, never did I ever take any interest in the girls at school who tended toward exposing more skin. I always treated them as I would my female family members -- with the utmost courtesy and respect. And anytime I suspected that a male friend or acquaintance of mine adopted a hump-and-dump attitude toward women, I nixed them from my life. I held men who treated women as objects in very low regard, and still do to this day. If women feel empowered to show off their bodies because they love and work hard on their physique, more power to them. In other words, if they're doing it to please THEMSELVES and no one else, good for them. However, those who do it specifically to curry men's favor are making a big mistake. It sends the wrong signals and actually makes it less likely that a man will want to stick around for a committed relationship (if that's what you want as anyway). Granted, if you're not lookin...
