Legs

Persefone

Do you know why men's legs are usually smaller than women's ?

Evo

What do you mean by smaller?

Females nearly always have a shorter torso then men, but leg lenth can vary.

Women have strong (big) legs. I suspect it's a reflection of reproductive success. That's why they have so much difficulty with our modern stress on slender figures. That's not what our genetic inheritance selected for and they suffer as a result: like trying to keep water in a bucket full of holes.

Most women I know have very thin legs. Most men have much bulkier legs than women. Of course there are exceptions. I've never seen a man with legs as thin as mine.

Where do you meet these bulky legged women?

Maybe in the highland games, a female clachneart player?

Evo

I had to look that one up. Or perhaps that pole tossing thing?

It is sad for women that have sturdy legs that fashion favors thin legs. I may have thin legs, but I am shortwaisted, the bottom of my rib cage sits on my hips. Fashion favors women with small rib cages and long waists (most distance between bottom of ribs and hips).

Just said they have strong legs (just my personal observations), not that they're larger than men. Suppose I've been surrounded by . . . women with . . . strong legs.
