Leg men... what are sexy legs?

After being in a pub and hearing a table of men talk about sexy legs it got me thinking. Do sexy legs have to be long or can they be attractive if they are short like on petite women as long as they are toned/shapely? Are thick thighs attractive if they are not fat or is it only slim ones?

prepare for generic answer....it depends on the guy
But "leg guys" aren't ALWAYS into the slim endless legs. I'm 5'2, have short legs and am a size 12 because I'm pear shaped. I'd always disliked my chunky thighs but current bf is definitely a leg guy and seems to love them!

I would say the legs should be clean, shiny, smooth (non-hairy) I actually tried shaving my legs when i was young, damn they grow back thicker.

I don't think a Stick leg would be nice, just nice healthy legs where you can't see bones. But it's no big deal it's the person inside that counts but as long as you keep healthy and not an alcoholic it should be fine :smile:
As long as they're firm (no fat), I love legs :rolleyes:

I love legs that go with the woman. If she is tall and slim, then she has to have long, athletic legs. If she is short and curvy, then thick - not fat - legs are fine.

But they always have to be hairless.

Smooth, well defined but not excessively muscular - definitely do not have to be long, some of the sexiest legs I've ever seen have been on short girls. Actually, I prefer girls with shorter legs.

The only preference that I have is no stockings.
Any tall woman can have long, skinny legs. That doesn't attract me.

Smooth legs with good skin (doesn't have to be white, black, tanned or pale, but just good healthy skin) with muscular calves and hamstring development drives me wild. It's such a turn on, for so many reasons.

But then again I could write for ages about any part of the female body, women are beautiful.

It's hard to say really. Really hard to say in fact. They just have to have a certain shape and complexion. Hair is bad.
I think that legs that are (proportionately) long are usually more attractive, but thin legs are typically much less attractive than firm, athletic legs. The most attractive legs on a woman, for me, always very clearly belong to someone who is sporty. Legs can be attractive (but less so) without that obvious muscle development present, but they start to get noticeably less attractive when they start to get noticeably thinner.

As usual, though, I'm very much not a fan of 'curvy' girls so legs that aren't thin purely because of the level of fat on them aren't appealing to me.

Good observation.



I also noticed Britney Spears has great legs although the dress and how much skin she's showing is a bit tacky:

I'm actually not a massive fan of either of those - I feel like Venus Williams actually has a much more attractive figure as Serena's maybe a little chunky for my taste. With the second picture, I'm not quite sure why but I'm not all that fussed.

Yeah cool, they are just my personal favourites of celebrity women I have seen. I also like Lily Allen's legs.

Britney has good legs but her thighs look particularly muscley there (I like that though), camera trickery.

Op im guessing your short im the opposite im 5ft11 and im all leg and I worry that my legs are far to long and ugly my legs are stupidly long sometimes i think i look like an ungainly, unelegant baby giraffe! Some of my friends are short but wearing heels makes their legs look longer and they all have other aspects such as busts or curves that means they have guys all over them, im a skinny size6 so literally the only thing i can get out are my legs they call me titless for a reason!

I don't really pay much attention to what celebrities look like so the best example I can think of is a friend of mine, and posting pictures of her legs on a forum seems a tad inappropriate :tongue:
