| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 3:34:14 AM | Say you go on a work night out ... and all the ladies are wearing skirts.
What physical feature would make you nudge your mate and say "She's got better legs than I thought!"?
I don't mean "Legs like Cameron Diaz" - I mean, what sort of calves, thighs, ankles, overall shape and length? | |

| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 3:46:43 AM | Every guy's definition will be different.
I imagine most would prefer legs that were blemish free, no cellulite, and seemed to be in proportion to the rest of her body. | |

| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 3:47:39 AM | | hmm... good legs as in, not short and stubby and fat and gross. hairy = bad too. | |
|
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 3:57:00 AM | | My theory was correct. Women have much higher standards for themselves then men ever bother to apply. | |
|
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 5:09:57 AM | | Long, toned, and hairless. That's pretty much it. | |
|
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 5:12:36 AM | | OK raph you beat me to it!! In fact the other day, this girl walked into the fire station...tan, long legs, and not a nic or cut anywhere..mm mmmm mm | |
|
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 5:13:24 AM | | cold, we men are just more down to earth . No one is harder on women, than women | |
|
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 5:30:59 AM | | ^ Good call. I almost mentioned tan. The only reason I didn't is because I've seen some pretty amazing looking legs on a few fair skinned goth girls over the years. | |
|
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 5:45:03 AM | | oh and nice calves...not too big, and with just alittle tone...with those wrapped around me, id be happier than Richard Simmons at a weenie factory explosion | |

| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 6:03:46 AM | They should reach the ground?
Sturdy enough to support what's above them, and not too wobbly?
And lastly.... attached to a good personality. | |

My theory was correct. Women have much higher standards for themselves then men ever bother to apply.
Your theory is mostly correct.
Women worry about all the LITTLE piddly details. But often forget about the big picture.
Let's take the example of the woman who could definitely lose some weight. She cares about her hair, makeup, nails, clothes. She is extremely nice to people. She goes to great lengths for these things. But for some reason, diet and exercise didn't seem to make the agenda.
Let's take the example of the very attractive woman, with a horrible personality. Because she's attractive, she'll get attention. She'll keep getting attention, but only for a short time. She meets a lot of guys, waiting for the "right one". But, somehow being nice to people didn't make the cut. She doesn't need to fix that, she gets plenty of attention! She may not even see it in herself.
You're a WHOLE woman. Inside AND out. You're not a set of components. No one buys a car just because it has a nice stereo, but it can be appreciated. But, someone might buy a car with a few dents. | |

| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 7:57:32 AM | | it could be different for different men. Post your picture here and we will tell you if your legs are hot, and you won't have any doubts after that | |

| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 8:04:22 AM | Many years ago, at a party, a friend of mine points to a magazine ad.
This ad displayed a picture of a sheer rock face with a female climber upon it, completely obscured by her gear except for one of her lower legs.
I said: "Yeah, so?"
He said: "She's hot."
F: "How do you know?"
He said: "You can just tell..."
He was obviously a calf man.
In a woman, I prefer she possess the types of physical features that make MY physical features "nudge". Differs from user to user.

I imagine most would prefer legs that were blemish free, no cellulite, and seemed to be in proportion to the rest of her body. Add in smooth, whether naturally hairless or shaved, and you have the perfect legs.
My theory was correct. Women have much higher standards for themselves then men ever bother to apply. Of course. There is a reason that The Beautiful South did a song called "Perfect 10". A size 10 is as thin as most men want. | |

| |
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 8:42:55 AM | Thin, with feet at one end, knees in the middle, and all the "goodies" at the other.
Obviously, I am not a leg man. | |
|
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 8:49:28 AM | I resent that comment that we have lower standards... think we are more accepting... standards are all based on perception.
And we are for the most part less critical at the end of the day if your legs are a deal breaker there is only 3 possibilities...
1 - you really have bad looking legs
2- the guy is such a pretentious douche bag he cant get over it
3- the guy has a fetish which follows an archetype that you do not fit hence his desire isnt satisfied | |

| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 9:47:15 AM | Unfortunately cellulite aflicts over 80% of women, and size has nothing to do with it, it's just how we're made.
As for being 'naturally hairless', does that happen?

Walking in my direction?
> My theory was correct.
That didn't even take 23 minutes... I suppose there's not much point in trying to convince you your theory is wrong.
> What physical feature would make you nudge your mate and say "She's got better legs than I thought!"?
I cannot imagine myself ever uttering such a phrase. Usually reality turns out to be worse than fantasy.

| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 10:40:46 AM | 'Air brushed supermodel legs'????
Sheesh, with the responses above, I guess that means I have to wear a skirt and shave my legs, dang, an I thought wearing a tight pair of jeans that show off my long legs was good enough, now you want me to shave them too??
Ok.. along the same lines, guys.. do you like 'tanned' legs??? Does it matter? | |
|
| Define good legs! Posted: 4/23/2008 10:55:18 AM | | I always get complements on my legs, a little chubby in the thighs, but compliments from men, even though there is NO way I could pass for long legged or truly toned (my calves are) and I've always got bruises or cuts or scraped because I'm always up to something physical that causes that, and tanned? pale as a sheet. So I would say, yeah, men's standards are much lower than women's. | |
