Men: What constitutes "nice legs" - keep it clean, please.

[JimmyJazz]

[Wapsie B]

1. Shapely,

muscular but not overly so. Nice calves, especially in high heels.

[steve2470]

2. To put it simply, well shaped and minimal fat.

Everything else is gravy. :-)

[CanuckAmok]

3. Smooooooth....

...and somewhat muscular.

[JimmyJazz]

5. what qualifies as "somewhat?"

[CanuckAmok]

16. functionally muscular, without being masculine.

I have to say, my ex had amazing legs... she wasn't very tall, either. I don't think length is as important as shape.

[freethought]

4. Shape, length and muscle tone

Women's legs I gather?
Well anyway, a great pair of legs is well shaped, curving lines. This goes to muscle tone. Not enough and they look like stilts or something. Too much and you think they might belong to a guy. Length wise they should not be too long. Everything in proportion. Well toned knees help!
(I got the feeling I am going to start a flameware here!)

[CanuckAmok]

6. they should certainly be long enough to reach the ground.

How else is she supposed to get the heck out afterwards? :P

[JimmyJazz]

11. Sundog? Is that you sundog?

Just in case: BITE ME!

[JimmyJazz]

8. WTF is a well toned "knee"

:D

[freethought]

17. One that is smoothed out

Sometimes I have seen knees that look as if the woman who owns them makes her living laying floor tile. They are rough looking. And both knees don't match or look disjointed.

7. "Are those your legs, or did you just ride in here on a chicken?"

One of my Dad's sayings. heh heh

[JimmyJazz]

9. Figures. I remember you from the gymnast bodies thread.

:D

[Blue-Jay]

12. I forget what I said in that one.

It probably wasn't very good, I'm guessing.

[JimmyJazz]

13. Note to Chavez: 'Whack Away!"

:D

[Blue-Jay]

20. Criminy. How'd you find that?

You're either pretty good with the search feature or you're compiling a secret dossier to be used against me at a later date.

[JimmyJazz]

21. Crikey! I have a good memory.!

It was me you were talking about, remember? :D

[CanuckAmok]

23. Oh, please... she's just a tease!

Here's an Olympic Gymnast who delivers (warning: nudity)!

[Blue-Jay]

29. Whoa. Isn't she a little..umm..

jiggley for a gymnast?

[CanuckAmok]

30. I think she is now, hence the new modelling career.

She's also 25, so her Olympic days are well behind her.

[Jack Rabbit]

10. Tender

. . . and juicy

[sundog]

14. fuzzy & nice calves

can I answer this? :P

[JimmyJazz]

18. No.

go away.

:P

[sundog]

19. you didn't qualify WHICH men in your OP

therefore I am justified :P

[Elidor]

15. I have to brag here:

My SO was featured as a leg model on a Brooks & Dunn publicity photo. I wish I had it scanned so I could show it off. Her legs are so gorgeous: shapely, muscular and sensuous. The rest of her is even better!

I hate Brooks & Dunn, however. But they have good taste in legs. :thumbsup:

[Jack Rabbit]

24. Actually, he didn't say what kind of leg at all

Leg of lamb from Canning USA

[Elidor]

25. Yummmm!!!

Roasted Lamb! *drools helplessly*
Pass the mint jelly!

[Schema Thing]

22. Oh god, do you have all day?

Cuz this is my favourite subject, lol. Of course, like most things physical, it's a hard subject to either quantify, or to be eloquent in said quantification.

A blood pressure cuff could probably tell you more about my thoughts on the matter than I could verbally.

[Maestro]

26. I like legs

that are slighly muscular, slender but not twigs and beautiful feet. Yes, I have a foot fetish. So what! ;)

Here is an example...

And then there are these. Hubba hubba.

[Historic NY]

27. Well the stardard started with Betty Grable.....million dollar gams...

[Huckebein the Raven]

28. Stacey Keibler

[aePrime]

31. The lower leg has to taper at the ankle

The ankle has to be petite, but there also has to be some calf muscle to shape it out. A nice elongated teardrop.

[LostInAnomie]

32. Symmetry helps out.

One can't be way longer than the other.
