Nothing, these days thin legs with a thigh gap is all the rage, but only really among young women. Long legs traditionally shows the general slender shape of the woman, long thin legs usually means a long thin body, but most men and women want the man to be taller than the woman. Men used to say that nice legs were the best trait to look for, but that's because much less was on show.

long legs are one of my fav parts of the female body
i dont why but everytime i see a girl with long legs they stand out and have this certain aura, really innocent yet sexy
specially in the right type of clothes they just exude attitude and sexy

id rather be in bed and grab her long legs and cherish it, then to stare at a big butt poked on some rather short legs

Well i don't know about sexy... (well for me anyways). But long legged women have good benefits! they will most likely get into modeling, for people that are looking for specific traits, by that being one of them. And also they are very skilled athletes, which can lead into being in the Olympics. Which my height is... medium i'd say. Like not too tall and not short. Just average. :P

-they look leaner by default, as does the body of most girls with longer leg:torso proportions
-short legs are associated with a childish, versus womanly figure
-nothing compares to how hot it feels to have longer legs wrapped around you during sex, in comparison to short, stubby ones

It's just something people find to be attractive. Everyone is different. I'm like you though, I don't see the appeal in long legs. I prefer toned, medium length legs, more like J. Lo or Shakira.

Daltron · Answer

Why do some guys like big chests and others prefer smaller ones? sSame reason, usually boils down to a primitive part of the brain telling the others what traits worked best for our ancestors. A long leg likely conveys ability to run down prey and sufficient nutrition to grow them, suggesting successful behavior and physical adaptations.

The legs in the pix that accompanies the question by Ms Anonymous cause me to have a 'hell yes, have my babies' reaction.
The reason that males, especially white males, are hard wired to be attracted to long legs is a matter of evolutionary biology.
Long, straight, slender legs that have a well-conformed muscle structure are a sign of good genetics, health and overall desirability as a mate.

Lopezz1999 · Answer

It's not the legs that are sexy, it's the thighs, especially relatively thick thighs. I don't necessarily find long legs attractive, but thicker thighs are certainly my forte!

drdank518 · Answer

Personally, the one physical trait about women that I find most attractive is legs. It doesn't matter if they are long or whatever; leg's are such a turn on. And a lot of girls always like to wear those short shorts.

So sexy.

i think its because a girl having longer legs gives off the illusion of a "thinner" body. i heard this and i thought it was messed because I'm short (barely over 5.2ft) and have a skinny body too. but also, i think longer legs on girls just makes her look "more grown up" which is another thing i don't get...

I like two things when it comes to legs.
1. Thick legs.
2. Legs that are proportionate to the rest of their body, and if they aren't I'd prefer the legs to be on the shorter end than the longer end.

I don't really get the appeal of long legs in general.

mattmanyah · Answer

its the thighs you see more skin on longer legged girls guys like skin

IdkJustNeedHelp · Answer

It's probably just because of conditioning from the typical model looks that you see on every magazine or clothing brand photo shoots. They're taught that these thin models with super long legs are the most sexy.

IsabelGuimaraes · Answer

long legs are more feminine. women tend to have proportionally longer legs. and being tall is not necessary to have apparently long legs.

JohnSnow787 · Answer

There's no special sexiness in that.. That just another opinion influenced by modern advertising and modeling industry. Everyone is beautiful in their own way.. just that not everyone sees it..

Wulfila · Answer

I only like long legs if they're average or thick in diameter. Long, thin legs don't do anything for me.

Shulie123 · Answer

I've got short thick legs but for some reason I want long legs and I don't even know why myself lol.

abundantlyrich · Answer

I really think it's because they enjoy being strangled by a pair of toned long legs.

One of the theories is:  Men like to hunt, long legs are faster = more challenge. (evolution) others say:  Nicer to wrap around you...

Girls legs drive me insane.
Their sexy, curvey thighs actually turn me on so much and their short skirts and shorts that hug their ass.
And the way their legs tense as they walk. It's actually hypnotic

alice55 · Answer

I don't know, it just look good. Too I think long legs look better in jeans, shorts, skirt, etc...

AlwaysBelieving · Answer

Longer legs means that thighs can be a little thicker. The way that her long legs meet her ass. Nice and juicy to look at.

Adamnman · Answer

To most people it would probably be an example of uncommon beauty. Exotic and therefore worthy of attention. At least traditionally.

blondfrog · Answer

I don't care about the length I care more about how it looks. I like how soft the female legs are, how shiny they can look, and how soft they are. It's like the estrogen that mainly gives it that look and feel.
