Not much of a well reasoned explanation followed but in general I did notice men with class and regard for their appearance (usually equating to the amount of disposable income they had) scored higher con las mujeres. It Does make sense. Once this lesson is relearned, I believe the popularity of wearing well shined leather will return and the boleadores could be safe for another generation.

I think with the popularity of tennis shoes many of the younger men simply do not wear leather shoes anymore. It’s another tradition that will probably fade away( except maybe in bus terminals and airports ) over the next decade or so.
