    Long Legs More Attractive?

    This article in The Guardian has confirmed what I have always suspected.
    Why men and women find longer legs more attractive | Science | The Guardian

    Must do some stretching exercises.

    If you've got your dad's legs - who's got yours?

    same here but you got dads feet, he has lovely feet, i got mums. Needless to say, could not print what they are like on here for fear of putting you off your current cup of tea...

    As for long legs, dont know about that on a man, i prefer muscular and hairy. Dont like skinny legs on a man, you know chicken calves....

    I dunno. My daughter has my ex-husbands legs, I'm pleased to say. He is 6'2" so my daughter will hopefully have lovely long legs and be much taller than my pathetic 5'2".

    I inherited all the rotton bits off both my parents but thankfully, I got my nans hair!

    My legs would be ok, if I had them stretched four inches

    I love a man to have big muscular thighs and a pert sticky out bum! (eyes glossing over )

    One thats firm and rounded but not fat. Hollow's in the sides are acceptable too!

    Flat bums, that don't fill out the trousers properly, leaving them all baggy is just ...

    Yes mistress. Actually that would kill me. I have an "odd" body shape. I pretty solid muscular thighs. a slight bulge in the tummy area (which is slowly shrinking) , broad shoulders.. but the skinniest puniest arms you've ever seen on a man.

    From the waist down I look quite athletic.. toned, muscular etc.. from the waist up I look.. well 110% geek (With the exception of my broad shoulders) I bought weights to give my upper body a workout.. and had to give them to my dad as they were too heavy for me. I ended up with a set of ladies wrist weights

    My legs I like though .. if only the rest of me was in proportion.

    Re: Long Legs More Attractive?

    I hated my legs when I was young as they were too skinny, and always wore trousers, and as I got older and stop caring what they look like people have always commented how nice they are when I have wore short skirts, and my daughters have even longer legs, now I moan about my tummy, no pleasing me

    30 kg is 30kg, whatever its made of but I'm not sure how easy it'd be to handle, once you got all hot!

    This study show that folks prefer long longs, but I'm not convinced by the "good evolutionary reasons" as to why.

    We keep seeing studies like this that claim there are "good evolutionary reasons" why we prefer something-or-other.

    I'm sure though it wouldn't be too hard to find "good evolutionary reasons" for the exact opposite results if you put your mind to it.

    In this case they say the reason we prefer taller people is that being short makes you more at risk of cardiovascular disease, but they ignore that being tall makes you more at risk of suffering from some cancers and osteoporosis.

    Basically, although the study is sound they resort to trash science to justify their study-of-the-obvious results.
    Let your mind go and your body will follow. – Steve Martin, LA Story
