Some people say you can judge a man by the shoes on his feet. I like to take it one step further. I believe that you can tell a lot about a person's character and what type of husband he's going to be just by the style of socks he chooses to wear.
Let's take a look at man who prefers crew socks. He is a man's man. He is passionate about maintaining his physique and playing or watching sports. While learning about art history or western civilization does not interest him, he still lends an attentive ear if that is what you're enthusiastic about. Most of the time he doesn't like to discuss emotional things, but when you're in need he'll be by your side. He has a macho way about him that makes you feel secure and protected. A romantic date planned by him is likely to consist of something catered. He might need a little help setting the mood, but once there, his mind and eyes are focused on you. Since he's not an artistic kind of guy, you can count on a Hallmark card for your anniversary.
If a man is decked out in dress socks, he is business savvy and has a knowledge of exotic things. His ideas about romance are more of the classic sort, such as dinner at a fine restaurant and waltzing by candlelight. Though he doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve, he isn't too shy to recite a poem to you. His compliments come from the heart and he never fails at making you feel like a lady. When he's off on a business venture somewhere, you can expect flowers to be delivered to you. He wants you to know that you're in his thoughts.
A guy who dons thermal socks may be rough around the edges, but he's one with nature. He isn't afraid to show his softer side. He's likely to romance you by a campfire beneath the stars. He thrives on the idea of being able to take care of someone and nurture them by working diligently. His family is very important to him. The ultimate gift from him would be something he wrote or made for you.
A good way to describe a man who opts for ankle socks is carefree and loving. He appreciates the simple things in life. He likes sports but will give up the football game to spend time with you. Fancy things are not a priority with him. He'd rather have a quiet night at home with you instead of being in a crowded area. If he has a game to go play, he wants you there cheering him on. A barefoot walk on the beach while holding your hand is ideal for him.
What about mismatched socks? There's no other way to explain it: comedy is his drive! He believes that laughter is the best medicine. He is full of surprises and always searching for the perfect opportunity to pull a prank on you, or one of your friends. There's rarely a quiet moment when it comes to a romantic date. He is likely to make a joke in serious times, though it is always with good intentions. He opts for stand-up comedy tickets, an amusement park, or a weekend in Vegas. Don't be too surprised if he leaves you silly love notes around the house, or if he sends you on a wild goose chase in search of a date destination. Though it may seem like he's always trying to be the center of attention, really he cares about showing you a good time.
Be cautious of a man who dresses in holey socks. At first it will feel nice to be needed by him. However, it becomes apparent rather quickly that he relies on you to make him happy. He has a lot of issues and you'll soon learn that he's wholly devoted to his own problems.
When we search for a partner we look for someone with similar interests, morals, and ethics. We know that we will have a difference of opinion from time to time, but we can choose to be accepting of one another. Instead of trying to find the perfect mate, we should be looking for the person that suits us the best.
My ideal pair of socks feels soft against my feet, but will still remain sturdy if I decide to do some running. Which type of sock would you be most comfortable with even through all the washing, wearing, and tearing? Next time you're out shopping hit the sock aisle. You may just snag yourself a great pair of socks.
