Who said Cinderella is just a fairy tale? Just like Cinderella's glass slipper led her to her handsome prince, a shoe store in Malaysia claims that buying shoes can help you find The One. "As seen in fairy tales," read the ads for Shoes, Shoes, Shoes in Kuala Lumpur. "Buy a pair of shoes, get a date for free."
So how does it work? According to the store's Facebook page, "A man knows your taste for shoes and he buys them for you. A dream come true? Well, it is." According to The New York Daily News, women buy a pair of shoes at the boutique and leave their "details" (we assume this means their contact information) with the store. A dating website then matches the woman’s profile with "eligible bachelors" who have chosen the same pair of shoes.
Now here's the first problem we detect: Not to stereotype, but straight women: How many straight men do you know who are into shoes? Nevertheless, once the store finds your "match," you go on a date. You even receive a discount on shoes from your handsome fella. Interested? The only thing is, you must live in the Kuala Lumpur area (in Malaysia) to join in the fun. We can't say we're disappointed to be ineligible. Are you?

If not, what's the harm?.
"Bitch Please! These shoes aren't worth a boyfriend! Why do you think I'm giving them to you?!"
At my age...tomato/tomatoe.... :)
but now that I think about it, it is a cute little concept but in real life would never work out.
