Search Results: is short cute

I met this girl at school. For the sake of convenience, let's call her Joanna.

Looks-wise I found her completely average with the exception of amazing legs, but her upbeat personality definitely made her 10x cuter in my eyes.

She was a casual friend of mine. She'd smile at me and we'd have small talk, but never had in depth conversations.

Basically, a friend of mine invited some of his friends to a party at his house, and that party included me, Joanna, and some other friends of his, both male and female.

At the party, we were having fun. Mostly just drinking, hearing some nice music, and playing video games.

Then, the rest of the people wanted to go out to buy some food, while me and Joanna just wanted to stay and play some more Smash Bros.

And we did just that...

But then out of nowhere, after a few rounds, we got worn out.

And then Joanna said, "(my name), have you ever noticed how I never ever wear pants, and only wear shorts?"

Then I said, "I guess?"

Then she smiled and went on to say, "The truth is, I used to be very insecure, and a lot more lazy. But in the past few years, I've been going to the gym more, putting in the willpower to shave my legs, eating healthier. And now, it's gotten to the point where I absolutely despise pants and only want to wear shorts, because it reminds me of the hard work I've been putting into being healthy all these years."

And I just looked at her and said, "Yeah?"

Then she said, "Yeah. Plus, whenever I'm bored I just like to feel my legs all over. They're so soft and smooth it's ridiculous. Before I became healthier they were never this lovely."

And she smiled and leaned on me real quick, I blushed kind of hard. Then she suddenly said, "Now back to gaming!" And eventually everyone else came back and the party continued. Nothing else happened from there.

But man... what was she doing?

Was she flirting with me, or was it just casual small talk?

So more recently, though I've usually been trying to ignore it for most of my life, I've been displaying an interest in girls.

I've always liked girls... cute faces, soft skin, longer hair, cute giggles/laughs, softer voices than guys, etc... and more recently, I actually want a girl I can physically be with and have fun with, rather than just an image of my head, of me having a theoretical imaginary girlfriend.

And I was talking this through with my friends... a group of 5. And one of them said, "Well you're not getting a girlfriend with those short ass shorty shorts!" And just slapped my knee. Then the other 3 agreed and nodded. And from then, I just joked about it and took it cool, "What? You jealous you all don't have muscular legs like me, chicken legs?"

But it got me thinking...do most girls actually care?

In that scenario my friends were most likely just joking around, but do girls care?

Most of my shorts are the length as shown in the above photo, about 7 inch inseam.

Then for swimming trunks... those are only like 2 inch, but they're for swimming anyways. How else am I supposed to feel the warm sunlight and cool water on my skin?

The 7 inch inseam shorts are usually about a hand or two above my knee, and sometimes rise up to my lower thighs as I sit... but I never really cared.

But then again, I grew up with 3 slightly older sisters, and despite being older than me, since because I guess they were girls, they worse shorts like this.

So in comparison, I actually thought my shorts were really long. I even asked my parents for shorter shorts like theirs so I don't stick out so much, but they said boys don't wear shorts that short.

But in comparison to other guys... it seems like my shorts are ridiculously short, and I don't want to come off as a joke in front of girls I want to impress.
