Why do men like long legs
Being Attracted to Men's Legs.

I guess I am somewhat of a late bloomer. I only discovered I was gay around age 12 or Prior to that, I assumed I was heterosexual (although in hindsight, I might have been bi).
Anyways, starting at that age, in any event, I have been adorable consistent though. In my thoughts, my feelings, my preferences.
I remember when I was in the 8th grade, this upperclassman came in to tell us about his experiences in high university. I was the early 80’s, and it was still technically summer, I think. So he was wearing fleeting shorts, naturally. And I noticed what nice legs he had. Apparently though, I was a little too evident in this. And the kids teased me non-stop about it for the rest of the year (kids can be so harsh, as they say).
But what does organism attracted to men’s legs indicate? It is fairly ordinary for hetero men to be attracted to women’s legs, I know. But men’s legs rarely (though I wouldn’t say never) access the equation.
I was actually talking to a doctor about this very subject. And he said it means whatever I think it means. And I

It has been shown that height is one of the morphological traits that influence a person&#;s attractiveness. To date, scant studies have addressed the relationship between different components of height and physical attractiveness. Here, we research how leg length influences attractiveness in men and women. Stimuli consisted of seven different pictures of a man and seven pictures of a female in which the ratio between leg length and height was varied from the average phenotype by elongating and shortening the legs. One hundred men and women were asked to assess the attractiveness of the silhouettes using a seven-point scale. We found that male and female pictures with shorter than average legs were perceived as less attractive by both sexes. Although longer legs appeared to be more attractive, this was true only for the slight (5%) leg length increase; excessively drawn-out legs decreased body attractiveness for both sexes. Because leg length conveys physiological quality, we hypothesize that such preferences reflect the workings of evolved mate-selection mechanisms. Short an

Researchers have spent far less time studying men’s attraction to women’s legs than the standard man on the street devotes to gazing at them and maybe finding himself spellbound by them. To heterosexual males at least, what’s so special about female gams?
In preparation for this post, I first examined what evolutionary biologists have theorized about this phenomenon, and found most of their findings limited and inconclusive. Two of scientists' discoveries, however (see, , “Why act men lust after women with long legs?”) seem to endorse what most men (lay experts that they are) already grasp intuitively: That is, studies own shown that men prefer women with longer-than-average legs, and they also favor women who include a higher leg length to body ratio—and, interestingly, the reverse is true of women’s preferences in men.
Still, my later analysis of several web forums centering on this age-old topic was much more fertile. And they are what constitute the main focus of this post. In essence, what I learned from these fo
Study: Men, Women Love Longer Legs
Jan. 17, &#; -- If you hold legs and know how to use them, then both men and women are more likely to find you attractive, according to a new research from researchers at Wroclaw University in Poland.
The research corroborated conventional wisdom, which has long held that men find women with longer legs more attractive.
"Legginess is something that we know men opt favor in mates. The news in this research is that women prefer longer legs in mates," said UCLA associate psychology professor Martie Haselton.
The affinity for gammy people has been showcased in movies appreciate "Pretty Woman," in which Julia Roberts' legs provided some emotional therapy to Richard Gere, and Vince Vaughn's legs crashed weddings and broke hearts in "Wedding Crashers."
Researchers asked more than male and female volunteers to rate the attractiveness of seven male and female images. All the people in the images were alike the height, but each had different leg lengths, which varied 5, 10 and 15 percent longer than the social norm.
