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

Question

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?

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.

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.

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!

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  :) .

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.

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.

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.
