Do you want the actual scientific explanation? Because there is one (sry hate to spoil the fun, yo)
There are metrics called "vdWHR" -- view-dependent waist/hip ratio -- which basically measure how much like an hourglass a woman's figure LOOKS from different views. Scientists have measured tons of different vdWHR's for tons of different poses, and have actually determined how women of different body types should pose in order to maximize the illusory hourglass effect of their figures.
Look at this 2 second video:
Right in the middle -- where all 3 graphs are at a pretty low point -- that's the optimal hourglass point in that woman's stride. You'll notice that it looks a LOT like this weird crossed-leg pose in these photos.
So... yeah, it looks weird af, but it also looks more feminine -- on a very base, subconscious level that I *guarantee* you don't actually sense -- so, there it is.
Brilliant.
Thanks!
Tx for the MH luv <3
It's classier; it prevents up skirting or seeing anything if there were a breeze or something.
I've never associated it with a having to pee pose though, nor do I associate how most men sit with someone taking a shit haha.
Yes. True.
it makes them feel like they're hiding their vaginas.
the opposite of this basically

I was waiting for someone to say that lol
Does Miley Cyrus not realize that she's not hot?
I love eating pussy, but I wouldn't eat hers...
It's a more classical ladylike and graceful way to stand. Same with cocking the head to the side like in the last pic, and somewhat in the first pic. Same with having the fingers elegantly extended rather than naturally curled (first two pics). In a different pose they'd have the feet pointed also. I suppose that heals give a similar affect. It's more "graceful" than the normal position of the feet. You see the same thing in dancers, ice skaters, gymnasts, etc.
Lol at it looking like they have to pee. Little kids do that all the time. Or even take their hands and push on themselves to hold it in. I assume that kids just don't have the muscles developed to hold it in.
Thanks a lot for your insightful answer :)
1. This pose is more meant to accentuate the figure, make it look shapelier apart from a confident look
2. The 'holding pee' pose is for men this way, not for women :)
What what what?
Only men hold pee this way?
probably cross their legs to hold on when they are much much younger?
Perhaps. I think we grown ups do jogging to hold on, no?
There are many that neither grow nor change with age :)
Thank you, young friend for your kind, thoughtful and generous gesture of selecting my opinion the MHO :) <3

It should be supplied by the government free of cost.
It's defensive body language: it either means the girl literally "closes" herself off (typically the legs will be crossed more tensely and the arms will be tensely crossed as well) or that she's shy/submissive, which can actually be a sign of interest in a guy (her whole body will be less tense).
Or it's a female celebrity striking a classic pose for the camera...
Makes sense :)
I don't know who you know that pees that way, but neither girls nor guys pee like that in my experience lol.
It's usually because cross legs make them look slimmer, it's just a pose.
I meant "to hold".
Does it? Wow didn't notice that before. :)
What is with the troll question? It's not even funny
Excuse me?
I've read Redeye's explanation; beautiful <3
Personally, I've stood like that for forever and just never realized I was doing it...
hahah thanks, appreciated
once upon a whole life ago, when I worked for inexmoda (which runs Medellín's fashion week), we would spend ENTIRE DAYS coordinating with designers on stupid-sounding but essential details like how models should stand.
After that, I literally can't go anywhere or do anything without 100% complete kinesthetic awareness. hahah
Now that I'm over 40, I even think about stuff like how I need to hold my face when I'm riding my husband so that it looks least droopy from below ahahaha
I know he doesn't give half a flying shit, but, still... OMG TOO MUCH AWARENESS
(This is why I'm always been too afraid to try ecstasy...)
@redeyemindtricks - Okay, the face during sex thing.. I totally understand!
Everything else.. I don't pay attention to. What would ecstasy do? Never tried it and don't know anything about it..
It fucks with sensory and kinesthetic perception in various and sundry ways that are different for everyone. So, with that much hyper kinesthetic awareness... ehhh I'd rather not mess with it.
It's also a serotonergic drug, and I don't do well with extra serotonin (I just want to go to sleep, in the non-refreshing kind of way).
I like this conversation so far, lol... 30 seconds 4 different topics hahah
@redeyemindtricks - Picturing you on it, or trying, and I can understand why you choose not to.
For me, that sounds like it could be fun... lol, I'm interested in it now.
Wonder how it would affect someone while they worked out. : D
Coordinated motor skills generally suffer, and it's hard to maintain muscle tension, so, workouts (except MAYBE yoga) would pretty much suck ass, and squats could actually hurt you pretty bad.
Most ecstasy out there is cut with pretty bad shit these days anyway -- it's not the old days. (Honestly, if they sniffed out a total beginner, most people selling it would probably sell you something else entirely.) Best to avoid.
@redeyemindtricks - lol, this reminds me of D. A. R. E.
:] I'm glad you're so knowledgeable about all of this.
[sorry, something popped up]
EXCEPT It's Drug Awareness & Education. XD lol
hah is that still around? with the bloody red capital letters? ahahah I think that started around here, actually
I mean, there have been plenty of studies that have totally discredited that program. I thought it was entirely gone? (my oldest son didn't go through it when he was 11 or whatever)
@redeyemindtricks Yeah! & The Lion (was it a lion?)
Really? I don't know if it's around now, but it was when I was in 5th grade (around there, maybe even to middle school)
bahahaha yeah I think his name was "Darren"
yah my youngest just finished 7th grade, and he never did it ::shrugs::
Interesting convo

It is just a way to get their hips more curvy (enhanced) for the pictures. It is a basic modelling pose.
Ohhhh I see 😳
Is it a new trend?
Not at all, as these 1950's Dorian Leigh and Suzy Parker pictures may show:

s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/.../...02028feb65.jpg
Aha! Excellent. :)
Are you saying they crossing their legs like they need to pee? Cause girls dont have dicks so they dont stand.
Yes.
Helps them look slimmer in pictures, improves posture. Guessing.
Slimmer, perhaps. But I don't think this is a good postur. Nature didn't create us that way.
lol. peeing in that position would cause a huge mess ;)
I meant "to hold"
Thanks to this question, I developed a new fetish 😋
eww! lol
OMG why did I use hungry emoji with it lol
No I didn't mean it that way hahaha
mhmm
Here I was expecting to see photos of a girl in a sumo squat
I dont know, maybe its only for the photos+they are all in dresses. Never seen that before tho
So, is it a new trend to pose like that?
I don't know, I've never seen a girl do that before.
Strange. I see models and actresses stand like that, every time!
Well, lucky you lol
I don't know, I just do it cx especially when wearing high heels
So, you don't even know why you do it? 😳
Oh I got it :)
most girls dont stand like that irl, its just a pose
it is a bit weird though, not sure why its a thing
Yes I agree :/
Generally, only models and actresses stand like that.
It's a comfortable standing pose. That is not my gotta pee pose.
I don't think it's comfortable. Nature didn't create us to stand like that.
It's comfy for me. I also don't have a penis in the way, so that could be one reason.
I think it's because girls are more flexible. Penis is not between our legs, it's a bit on forward side, unlike vagina.
hahaha It's simply a pose. It looks elegant and makes us look good
Yeah especially with skirts 😋
They stand like that, cause it squeezes their clitoris causing arousal and pleasure.
sshhhh don't give it away
@redeyemindtricks Too bad, already did.
I stand that way just because it's comfortable.
More comfortable than standing normally?
I don't know, but it's sexy.
LOL true dat. Feels like they're trying to save their pxxxy
They're hiding their dick.
Especially Emma
maybe they actually have to pee? ;-)
Oh lol 😂
Genius!
who the hell pees this way?
I should have reconsidered my choice of words :/
ahh you meant like the pee dance? i think girls pose this way because it creates an angle that makes their waists and midsections look smaller... my wife was telling me something about this last year. it's also the reason why many women pose sort of crooked from the waist up with their hand on their hip
Oh :o
Thanks! :)
To look classy or they're bored. :D
Could I stand like this if I'm bored?
You could.
I'll think twice before considering your advice from now onwards lol
I said you could but if you do a lot of people will think your gay or some weirdo. :P XD
Yes LOL 😂
It's considered decent and ladylike.
I suppose they could stand like men about to pee..
3.bp.blogspot.com/.../women-pee.jpg
Since when?
Lol its just comfortable
How is this comfortable? Standing normally should be more comfortable I guess. Personally, I cannot stand like that more than 2-3 minutes.
For streamline hips, it's an ugly pose in my eyes.
I kinda agree.
I don't think girls pee like that brah.
"About to", I meant "to hold".
I don't know I can't stand like that lol
Haha me too. Girls here are telling that it's so comfy lol. How on earth?
Well they don't have our precious man hood hanging right there lmao
lmao, it is to add more definition to the hips
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :o
Its just a cute pose. Nothing more.
Haha almost everything girls do is cute.
Lol well i guess thats true. Well almost everything... :))
Because they need to pee.
Why didn't I think that 😅
It's not the position to pee...
"To hold" I meant.
It's not the position to hold...
Nah cause I'm Batman ;)
