actually your friend is right about taking the socks off. those mats can be slippery and with socks on and the way you're bending and twisting your body one false slip and you could really hurt yourself.
actually i was telling my significant other the love of my life my spouse a couple of weeks ago about playing naked twister or some kind of sex game like twister in different positions while placing the hands and feet on certain colors on a mat
of course we were also talking about vibrators too and i mentioned about rabbit vibrators to my spouse
but yeah with the socks off so you don't hurt yourselves in case any of you's slip by accident. you don't want to twist your ankle or wrist by accident
Haha we are not doing it naked of course. It's not a sexual thing for us, just a fun game, although the guy who was part of our group has a crush on me I think.
So taking socks off was a must? I'm kind of uncomfortable showing my feet to others. But do you think they were right not to leave me a choice but to take my socks off?
unless you want to take the risk of twisting your ankle or wrist by accident please please take your socks off so you don't get hurt by accident. please please.
i know about the naked twister part i was just joking about that lol
you could also wear sandles. anything that has some sort of friction on your feet so you don't slip and fall
i just don't want to see you twist or move the wrong way slip and fall and hurt your ankle or wrist. please if you do wear socks please be careful you don't slip and twist something by accident
I understand the part about not slipping and getting hurt of course. So is it actually dangerous to wear socks on the twister sheet?
I can't wear sandals, because any kind of shoes is forbidden on the sheet. Plus I don't even have sandals, as I'm really shy to show my feet, so I don't wear open shoes.
So do you think they are right not to leave me a choice that I have to take off my socks every time we play?
not dangerous just risky. they're only telling you that to prevent injury because if you're barefooted it'll lessen the chance of injury and accidental slips and falls, and it'll make the game last longer when nobody falls down
it's up to you if you want to wear socks just be careful if you do ok
My friend said it is dangerous, because you can slip and then hurt your wrist or ankle. That's why her parents insist that when she plays it with her friends, everyone must take off their socks, because they don't want anyone getting hurt in their home.
So do you think they are wrong or exaggerating this?
no they're not wrong or exaggerating this. they're absolutely right
OK, I asked because you said it's not really dangerous and it should be up to me if I want to wear socks or not.
So then actually you think they were absolutely right not to leave me any choice that I had to take off my socks?
those mats are slippery and with socks on it'll make it even slippier since there's hardly to no friction with the mat and socks on which is why some sort of friction is needed to prevent falls and twists of your wrists and ankles. you could also use baby powder on your feet too so you can get more friction on the mat and with baby powder people won't be able to see your feet as much
or chalk powder on your feet either baby powder or chalk powder and you could use it on your hands as well as your feet
it's up to you if you want to wear socks or not. your friend her parents me we all advised you not to wear socks because you could slip and fall and twist your wrists and/or ankles. but the decision is really up to you or not. if they don't allow you to wear any socks then it'll ultimately be up to you if you want to participate in playing twister with them. it's only out of concern for your safety they said not to wear socks.
Thank you for the idea! :)
So I could put chalk powder on my feet which will prevent me from slipping, so I can keep on my socks while playing? Do you think that would be enough?
Then I only have to convince my friend and her parents of this.
dangerous as in risk of injury dangerous with twisted and/or fractured or sprained bones or muscle tissue could possibly happen but not dangerous in the sense of life and death type
actually no you can't wear socks and use baby powder or chalk powder at the same time. the chalk or baby powder will just go on the clothes but won't create any friction it'll just make a mess of everything which is why chalk or baby powder directly on the skin would be neccessary to create the friction needed to prevent accidental slips and falls. think of it like a gymnastic who has to put chalk or baby powder on his or her or their hands before hopping on the rings and doing flips. they use the chalk or baby powder so they can get a good grip and have friction to prevent themselves from slipping. same thing applies here the mat is slippery and to prevent that the chalk or baby powder directly on the skin would prevent this. granted some gymnastics wear those gloves instead of using baby powder or chalk but that's entirely up to them.
what you could also do is bandage your feet up or wear some kind of ankle wraps or ankle guards around your feet when playing twister that way it'll prevent people from seeing your feet.
Ok haha, but of course I don't want to get hurt either...
I hope putting that powder on my socks will be enough to prevent that and convince them that it's not dangerous any more...
the chalk or baby powder will just make a mess if you apply it directly to your socks rather then the skin of your feet itself
Oh ok, then I misunderstood that. So my feet have to be bare in order to apply that powder on them?
I just looked for those ankle wraps, but they don't really hide my feet and toes, so I don't know how they would help me...
nooo lol you can't put it on the socks it has to go on the skin
simple what you do is get a bit of extra wrapping and wrap your toes in them then use the ankle wrap to wrap your ankle. how about compromising you her and her parents compromise or whoever else is playing compromise.
Yes, I understood that now 😂
So in any case you're seeing I must have bare feet for the game, right? Or those ankle wraps that leave my toes bare?
or you could use the ankle wraps and put the powder on your toes and feet
yes. but like i said you could try the ankle wrap or ankle brace and use the baby powder or chalk powder on the exposed parts that way it'll cover it. but it might be best to try and compromise
Yeah, but my point was to find a way not having to bare my feet. So in all those cases my toes and a big part of my feet will remain visible. And I would have to spend money on those wraps.
But to sum it up, I will definitely need to have bare feet for Twister, right? And then put chalk on the soles of my bare feet in order to increase the friction?
it's a game have fun with it lol enjoy your time playing it and don't get so caught up worrying about your feet so much. listen do you think those other people there will be so secure about what their feet looks like of course not. not many people like how their feet look but they still take their socks off and your friends are still taking their socks off to play twister even though they may not like how their feet look but that doesn't bother them as it shouldn't bother you either. look who cares what other people think about your feet. when you go to the beach don't you have to take your socks and shoes off. don't other people at the beach have to take their socks and shoes off. just imagine yourself at the beach and there's a ton of other people there all with their socks and shoes off as well. it'll help build your confidence up
no. if you're going bare foot you won't need the chalk or powder to get more friction. i only suggested it as an alternative to help cover your feet up since you didn't like to show them. look what you could also do is get a pedicure before you play twister with them. the ankle wrap and powder was only a suggestion it's not neccessary. i only suggested it since you didn't want to show your feet off
why not just get a pedicure before you play
and possibly a foot massage or better yet a whole body massage to help you relax since you seem really tense and stressed out about taking your socks off
Wait, but didn't you say if I apply that powder, it must be on my skin? So I have to take off my socks anyway?
Yeah of course I want to avoid showing my feet haha.
About the pedicure, wouldn't that even draw more attention to my feet? I normally don't paint my toenails because I don't show my feet and in case I have to, don't want to invite people to look at them
noo.. the pedicure is to make your feet look better. to remove any dead skin that may be there. just because you get a pedicure doesn't mean you have to paint your nails. think of it as hygiene maintance.
if you take your socks off you can use the powder to cover up your feet but as you said since you don't want to draw attention to your feet putting powder or any type of ankle wraps might draw more attention to them
i'll be back in a while i got an appointment to look at a house out of state. i'll be back on later today we can finish figuring this perdicament out then
But the powder is not really going to cover my feet, just make them a little whiter or so. They are still going to be completely bare, even with powder, right?
My feet are very clean and look kind of ok, so I don't think there is a need for a special pedicure. But yes, I will take extra care of them before our next twister game. Maybe I should paint my toenails as a courtesy to the other players who will see my feet a lot during the game?
The other girls had painted nails anyway.
Ok, thanks :)
the house had to many structural problems with the foundation and the foundation itself had problems. then there were broken windows and lead paint issues since the house was built in the 1800's. that would of needed to be scraped out and repainted to latex paint. it would of cost 50k to 100k to update and fix and then to add a new electrical heating unit in the place since no gas maine ran through the street and a drive way would of had to be put in there and new kitchen cabinets and backsplash had to be installed plus new rugs and new pvc piping in the basement and in the bathrooms and kitchen since the basement had copper pipes and only 1 pvc pipe and the bathrooms and kitchen had a very thing pvc pipe in all of those that would have easily clogged. then they were trying to convert an upstairs attic with the slanted ceilings into bedrooms which wouldn't had worked especially given how small the rooms were. and 5 double paine windows needed replacing and two structural support beams in the basement needed replacing to support the horizontal support beam that supported the subfloor support beams of the house
then there were issues with getting the large gaps in the foundation both on the inside and outside that needed to be repaired and removing all the dirt and giant leveled off boulders and rocks and granite that were in the basement and digging a deeper basement since it was a crouch style basement and it also need to pour concrete at the very bottom to have a proper level floored basement
and to make matters worse since it was built in the 1800's there was no way of telling if the siding of the house had any tyvec insulation underneath the vinyl siding and all the coaxial had to be removed and replaced with new coaxial wiring and god only knows the condition of the electrical and there was no way of telling if proper water flow would happen since every valve was turned off and red tagged
the house had at least 7 red tags 2 in the basement for the heating boiling unit 2 in the kitchen and 3 in the upstairs bathroom and to make matters worse all the baseboards would need to be ripped out and put electrical baseboards in and the amp to the house would need a massive upgrade from the current 100 amp to 200 amp. the red tags were to mark it as winterized for the water not running and heating unit off
I was gonna say, yeah you have to take your socks off or you'll slip all over the mat.
I see. I feel a little uncomfortable when people see my feet though. But for that game I guess it's inevitable then?
And do you agree that there can't be an exception for me? The others already took their socks off and are insisting that I take mine off as well, but I'm very reluctant to do so. They are saying it must be the same for all or the game doesn't make sense.
Haha no idea if my feet are pretty. Yeah, normal I suppose. But I don't like showing them.
So for the game there is no chance that I could keep my socks on or wear shoes? So my feet must be completely bare?
Mmh... Yeah, I guess I have no choice but to take them off then...😑
It does feel really weird though.
without sockssss you dont wanna slip and hurt you guys
Hey. Yeah, they made me take off my socks in the end. We said we were going to play twister more regularly now. I'm kind of shy when other people see my feet, so this is kind of a big deal for me. But so you're saying they were right to insist that my feet had to be bare?
Have you played twister before? And always without socks?
yes.
so which one of my questions did you reply to right now? 😂
I've never played twister before because i have no friends so i never really bought that, but I've watched a lot of youtube videos, and its tbh pretty common sense to not wear socks so you dont slip and fall. since that is like plastic you're stepping on and twisting, in positions, and that will create a frictional force and you might slip with socks on and hurt yourself. so its better to play without em because feet are like having that little sweat on em that sticks to the plastic so creates a balance and helps you not fall. but after all that being said. and your feeling of foot shame, if you still wanna wear socks, go on but i really do hope and pray to god you dont fall and break your write or back.
ty
hey, thanks for your reply. Sorry to hear you don't have any friends :(
Well yes, what you are saying makes sense. It's honestly just that I'm ashamed to have bare feet when my friends are around. But they said everybody has to be the same, so I couldn't wear socks. That girl we were invited to also said that it's her game and her house, so if I slip and hurt myself it will be her responsibility, which is why she insisted that I must have bare feet.
Mmh so do you think they were right to insist or was that kind of weird?
its ok i was kidding... i do have friends. i was kinda being overdramatic, i apologise. they are right to insist tbh. also everyone else is gonna have their feet out, so dont be ashamed, they all also got feets you dont have to be shy about it. even tho I'm a hypocrite for saying that. But ITS OKAY, THEYRE JUST FRIENDS they wouldn't care
Oh haha I didn't get you were kidding. I'm kind of tired today hahaha
So why do you say you're a hypocrite? Are you also ashamed to show your feet?
Mmh yes, maybe they were right to insist. We are going to play again tomorrow. So I guess then I'll have no choice but to take off my socks again so they will see my bare feet?
Hey, did you see my answer? :)
i stg, i replied to that I don't know why it didn't send, maybe i was distracted, I'm tired rn too its like 4am
Yes. and yes.
Oh ok, no problem. So yes, they are right to make me take off my socks? And yes, you are also shy to show your feet?
Yes. and yes.
Haha ok 😊
So you're like me then and never show your feet or wear sandals?
yeah but then i do anyway
I see. But do you try to avoid it somehow?
And sometimes have to do it when there's no way to avoid it?
well sometimes i dont really care, also I've been wondering when this conversation will stop...
Sorry, I didn't realize I was getting on your nerves...
no its not, but like... i keep getting notifications lmao, but it was fun talking to you
Thank you, it was fun for me too ☺
yeah girl, message me or something maybe we could be friends I don't know
yeah, I sent you a follow request :)

Yeah without socks
its plastic sheet and socks mean you slip a shit load
I see. I feel a little uncomfortable when people see my feet though. But for that game I guess it's inevitable then?
Unless you have it printed on a sheet
We did that years ago, had a large double bedsheet printed with Twister and one with draughts
No, it's a plastic sheet. So in that case you'd say the girl is right and everyone's socks must come off?
Yeah otherwise it becomes silly with people slipping
Yeah, I see your point. I definitely feel nervous about that, though. I normally wear socks all the time...
And do you agree that there can't be an exception for me? The others already took their socks off and are insisting that I take mine off as well, but I'm very reluctant to do so. They are saying it must be the same for all or the game doesn't make sense.
Yeah life sucks, at times we all need to make sacrifices, the socks need to go.
Haha my friend just said about the same thing.
So you're saying there is really no way I can avoid taking off my socks for the game now?
Completely up to you but there is an advantage barefoot has more grip
My friends are saying it's not up to me though. They insist that I must take them off, because everyone has to be the same and they say it's unsafe to wear socks on the mat because you can slip.
So you think their argument about slipping and hurting yourself is exaggerated?
You can slip yes but hurt yourself I dont think so. unfair disadvantage yes!
What's Twister exactly?
You don't know it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twister_%28game%29
Without and naked too.
haha wtf
Naked Twister is fun, you should try it some time.
I am too ashamed to do that.
But what do you think about the socks question? Are they right to make me take them off?
Sure, that's fine.
I'm ashamed to show my feet though, so this is kind of embarrassing for me right now. But they said it must be the same for everyone, so they basically didn't leave me a choice.
Ok. well then either don't play, or try to get over your fear of showing your bare feet.
Yeah well, I was invited over for the weekend so we could play this. And we are 4 people, so 2 teams. It's kind of hard now to tell them I don't wanna play :(
Then just do it!!!
I am, we have been playing it for the last hour and I was playing without socks, too. It just feels so weird...
Awesome, I think that's cool.
What do you mean, what is cool?
That you took off your socks.
Well, they kind of made me do it, although they knew I'm shy about my feet. Do you think that's cool?
Yes I do.
Why? Isn't that kind of mean?
NO. You had the chance to say no and didn't. So deal with it.
Well, I did say no. I told them I don't want them to see my feet. But they just laughed and said, those are the rules and everyone has to follow them.
Good for you.
Lol. Not really...
How did it go
We are still deciding haha. We wanted to wait a few minutes until there are enough replies here on g@g so actually you can help us make a decision 😂
it's 4 people, so me, to other girls and one guy. Why do you ask?
It's not a big party, just three of us invited over for the weekend.
So what about my question haha?
Haha NO it's not, it's just normal twister. That's why I found it weird that I have to take off my socks.
But you're saying too that socks should be off then?
The house is really warm, so that's not an issue. I do feel uncomfortable showing my feet though. But they are saying, feet must definitely be bare in order not to slip. And everyone has to be the same.
Yeah, I do feel kind of nervous having to show them my bare feet though. But do you agree with them that there can be no exceptions, so my socks need to come off, too?
No socks
Why?
I'm a little shy to show my feet to be honest. But they are saying I must take them off because everyone has to be the same for the game to work. So you think they're right about that?
Don't really know why. It just makes me feel exposed when I'm without socks.
Sure, I'll send you a follow request
