I'm short, with muscular/athletic legs & my friends make fun of me?

[Anonymous]

I would really like to be able to wear shorts or a summer dress this summer, but the problem is I'm athletic, I'm 5'3 and a runner in track and my legs are muscular but not man muscles, more of a runners legs and my friend, well female friends make fun of me all of the time because they have long skinny legs and guys prefer those types of legs and because I'm short and they say I'm not built to wear shorts or skirts and dresses...so what should I do? I do not mind wearing sweatpants and jeans during the summer like always lol and I'm going to quit track and running so my legs will lose muscle and I'm cutting out all protein in my diet.what should I do?

[Cocobombita]

I have muscular legs too and petite 5'3 more of like a tennis player since it is the sport I am in, I am overall svelte looking, but you really have to study clothing geometrics to look femenine and fashionable,what I always do is wear heels when I am in shorts or skirts, I have pairs of very high to shorter heels to elongate my legs, also tanning your legs its a must. I don't recomend you to loose muscle you will regret it in your thirties, by the way guys love musclular legs you just have to know how to work with them. I know its frustrating not being able t look model skinny but high heels are definetley your friends.

[Anonymous]

No offence but from my experience men like thin legs because they signify being feminine and being a woman, but muscular legs signify being athletic and that shows masculinity which is why guys never like athletes aside from cheerleaders or volleyball players

Just avoid protein, try going on a liquid diet every couple of days and then give yourself a day or two to eat non protein foods then go on the diet that way muscle can deteriorate.

[Asker]

thanks well I'm quitting and will try

[ThickRick]

You aren't a man. You are just assuming sh*t.

[dudeman]

couldnt be further from the truth

[peace-love-couture]

liquid diets suck

[WeaponZero]

I have to strongly disagree with your answer. Most every guy I've known loves muscular legs on a girl.

[alleykat92]

The fact that you have best answer to someone who has 9 disagrees and no agrees says how wrong you are and what boys like.

[fun-weird-guy]

The only female athletes that you think guys like are cheerleaders and volleyball players is a a load of crap. If guys did not like women that are toned and muscular then why are there a lot out there that are in relationships, engaged, or married. I personally know a handful that are athletic and married.

[Flyflyfly]

This is the worst comment I think I have seen so far. Please do not listen to this person. Do what makes you happy and don't listen to people who like women to fit into a social norm. Muscles show that you work hard. It's hard work to maintain muscle. Be proud of how strong you are.

[Anonymous]

I'm built like a gymnast. I have a pear shaped body with legs that some would say are obscenely muscular for a girl. But I wear shorts and short dresses anyway and guys always check me out. The guys who do approach me admit that the way I look in things that show my legs were what caught their attention. BOYS LOVE MUSCULAR LEGS ON A GIRL REGARDLESS OF WHAT ANYONE SAYS!

[xavvix]

Naw naw don't do that, love what you do and feel proud, your athletic and I'm pretty sure your legs look good too maybe your friends envy some of the volume you got going on there, and not all guys are into skinny legs at least not me I had a girlfriend in high school who was in track and field and I loved her legs and shaped butt and the fact that she was athletic too... you gotta rock your body girl lol don't let them get to you ;) and yeah after your done with track the volume of your legs will go down but why don't you just enjoy what you have now while your young and healthy :) .

[fun-weird-guy]

Why quit track and cut out protein just because of people saying negative stuff about how you look. You probably look lovely. Women come in different heights, weights, shapes, sizes etc. You should love the way you look because you will find someone who will want you the way you are. Wear the skirts, dress and shorts regardless of what others think. Show them that you do not have to look a certain way to wear them. It took dedication to get to where you are. People say BBWs should not wear skirts, dress and shorts but they do anyways so try to not let people get to you.

[MyNameIsJonas]

I really hope you don't quit something you love in order to attracted males or be part of a click of girls. It isn't worth it.

I like strong legs on my woman.

link Hayden Panettiere has a similar build. I find her to be very sexy.

[MrScTi]

Hayden Panettiere *drools*

She could bulk up those legs even more if she wasn't so "Hollywood"...

[MyNameIsJonas]

I lover her thighs and caves.

[Tommytomtom3523]

I think it is matter of personal choice

[ThickRick]

Ignore that "best answer". Muscular legs on women are godly.

Don't go through desperate measures to change who you are, that shows you are mentally frail and insecure. Flash those sexy legs, and be you. Nothing gets my attention more than a girl with some sturdy pipes and a nice butt. Mmmm!

On a side-note, I really f***in hate how girls are so mean to other girls with their wordplay. It's disgusting, and most of it couldn't be further from the truth.

[MrScTi]

Poor girl is so convinced her legs aren't good enough.

[MyNameIsJonas]

Truth.

[ThickRick]

Lol, somehow the answer with 5 "Disagrees" is the best answer. Those type of question askers are so annoying as well. They aren't prepared for the truth, they just want to verify their insecurities.

[peace-love-couture]

Truth? What makes you think your answer is any more relevant or truthful? Especially considering guys on this site cater to the QA. if this were a skinny girl complaining y'all magically would've worshiped skinny legs

[ThickRick]

Pretty much every guy who gave an answer said they prefer muscular legs.

[peace-love-couture]

And that makes it a "truth" as though no guy prefers thin legs

[taster]

I am not into muscular legs

[MyNameIsJonas]

IMO only little boys like little skinny skinny girls. If you want a little boy then go head and change yourself.

[taster]

hmm I am in my 50s, weigh 205 lbs and am almost 6' But if that makes me a little boy than I am happy to wear the title..it certainly beats the sh** out of "grandpa" or "old man"...

[Anonymous]

I'm one of those men who loves model like legs such as link

link

and I recommend a low protein diet and HIIT and avoid running or cycling and the elliptical trainer

[ThickRick]

Troll alert.

[peace-love-couture]

Or maybe this is his preference?

[WeaponZero]

I don't agree with his taste but I fail to see how his answer in any way constitutes trolling. He's stating his honest opinion and there's nothing wrong there.

[Thiezz]

> and I'm going to quit track and running so my legs will lose muscle and I'm cutting out all protein in my diet.

Why would you want to become *less* healthy?

[Asker]

I will still work out I will just not run anymore and will do what they do which is pilates, yoga and zumba and they have perfect thin legs but I will still veggies and fruit

[dudeman]

short girls with nice muscular legs are a huge turn on I don't know any man that would prefer a super thin girl to nice thick lady

[Crushonyoufornow]

i took an exam yeasterday one of the examiners who is a lady has an athletic legs i swear even though i was nervous i couldnt stop looking at her legs:(

[WeaponZero]

You kidding? Muscular legs are hot. Show 'em off! Guys will love them!

[Anonymous]

well just wear jeans and sweatpants like you said and hopefully you can lose the muscle by next summer or spring break.eat lots of fruits and vegetbles

[Anonymous]

don't bother about it, i get made fun of my long legs which are toned at least i have the guts to wear shorts but some guy hide behind their trouser and make fun of other guy's legs

[Ezmotts]

Hell no, those legs and that sexy ass is a complete turn on.

[Anonymous]

Wear shorts skirts and dresses their just jealous of you ;)

[Asker]

they have like perfect legs they have no reason to be jealous

[Opinion Owner]

Who says their legs are perfect?

[Asker]

guys

[Opinion Owner]

And guys don't say the same about yours?

[MrScTi]

Selena, please stop assuming that guys only like thin legs. I love muscular legs!

[Asker]

no they don't, they really like my friends legs and I am happy for them because they are lucky.but I am giving up track so hopefully they will become small

[MrScTi]

Then you are a lost cause. One day someone might have the patience to help you. But this is just ridiculous.

[Opinion Owner]

Stop worrying about what other people think f the thoughts and opinions do what makes you happy. Do it because you want to not to impress anyone

[Asker]

well I rather receive attention like they do than pretend to not give a f***

[Opinion Owner]

If you want to be a puppet that's cool.

[Asker]

how am I a puppet? I have unattractive legs and they don't and they get attention and I of course do not

[Opinion Owner]

Sound like your just giving up something you love just to change so guys will like you

[Asker]

and? I want to be considered attractive, not have ugly legs.if I quit running my legs will become small and feminine

[Opinion Owner]

You sound hot and attractive to me. Id go for you and talk to you if I saw you.

[Alpha93]

muscular legs are hot.

[Anonymous]

lipo?

[Thiezz]

Liposuction, as the name suggests, removes lipids, not muscle.

[Anonymous]

[Asker]
