I have long legs and a lot people compliment me on them. But I don't see why. I mean what is so beautiful about them?
Why are long legs considered attractive?
I think GIRLS tend to be under the impression that long legs are beautiful, mostly because long legs are something models have and girls with long legs can pull certain things off.
Likeee, when I was going prom dress shopping months ago, there was this dress. It was a high-low dress(just google if you don't know what it is). Problem was, the torso was TOO long(i'm only 5'2) & the train was long, which is fine, cause it is a prom dress and I would've been wearing heels. Anyways, this girl was with her friends and tried it on. THEY loved the dress on her and were saying it complimented her body type and her long legs, she thought it made her look fat. I thought it looked fab on her and she had nice legs, you could tell she was athletic. I was envious of her but not in a bad way. She pulled it off better than short girls.
Anyways, I'm not on the whole long legs train, but GOOD looking legs are good looking legs.

I think it has more to do with shape then length. You can really long legs but if you have cellulite and cankles then they are not going to be very attractive.

No idea... I know there is some scientific reasoning for it but there always is for everything.
Guy's like long legs because it is seen as a possitive genetic trait. Having longer legs means that you can cover more ground faster. Longer legs on a guy isn't seen as attractive, because this creates a higher center of gravity for the guy, which means he would fall over easily in a fight. So long legs are considered attractive in mens brains because it gives a survival advantage. Just like why women like guys with big bicepts, big pecks, with a six pack, and a V shaped body, and why guys like hourglass figured women with larger breasts.

I'm not sure about the exact reasoning why long (fit) legs tend to be attractive (like reasoning that breasts are attractive because they are, evolutionarily, an indicator of fertility -- or hips, similarly), but I'm sure there are scientific hypotheses out there to explain it. As others here have said, it's more the shape than the length -- I find long legs on a girl who is physically fit to be more attractive than on a girl who's overweight...but at that point, it's all down to personal preference.

I usually like thicker legs like softball or volleyball players. If you have legs like this link I wouldn't mind though.

It's also to do with shape, skin type and tone. But aside from that, I believe they are more attractive because they draw the eye to the arse and upper thigh with much more ease than shorter legs, mostly because there's more of it.

it has much more to do with shape and proportions... I've seen a lot more short girls with nice legs, most tall girls I've seen just have skinny legs
