This makes me a sad panda.



Bit presumptuous to suggest you know all straight men are lying when they say they like short legs or don't care either way.

Look at porn and the wide range of body types found within. If all men liked the same thing, women in porn would all look the same. Porn as opposed to the fashion industry is a good measure of the different body types men find attractive (and indeed long-legged modelesque figures would be included in that, just amongst many other types.) Some men genuinely do like petite women.
If you are thin then you might be able to bypass the long legs criteria ....... but purely on a 'long legs vs short legs' scenario, I know which would win.

A petite woman with short legs can kinda get away with it ...... but the problem for Zoe is not that they are short but that they are like tree trunks. No shape whatsoever.

I love the irony of the multiple threads being bitchy about Zoe for being bitchy about Susan.

A petite woman with shapely legs can get away with it in spades. And as petite is around 5'5" and under, all petite women have short legs.

Fair enough if hers are like tree trunks.

But as tall women friends tell me, men are often put off by their height.

Like I said, men have pretty wide-ranging ideas about what constitutes attractiveness, as the porn industry illustrates. If only a narrow range of body types was acceptable, there wouldn't be a market for the others kinds, and clearly there is.

I'm just weary of anyone making blanket statements, like you just did, and passing them off as fact.

I don't like when women presume to decide what all women find attractive either, often it doesn't chime with my own personal preferences.

I'm gonna quote these two buckos too:

Perhaps they're just being kind?
You know lots of straight men with unusual tastes then

But youre wrong to use porn as an example of what men like. In all honesty the sort of things I watch ..... well funnily enough I probably wouldnt like a girlfriend like that lol! Or to put it another way, I'd rather my regular meal be Steak ........ but occasionally I'd love to have a McDonalds.

Petite for me is small AND not fat ....... a dumpy girl who is 5'2 and fat is not petite in my eyes.

(no offense if you match the description)

Why though? People have this image in their heads of all porn actresses being silicon-enhanced perma-faketanned bottle blondes.

When in reality, I have seen an amazing array of body types featured within - small breasts, big breasts, short, tall, a lot of porn actresses are very natural!

I don't see why porn should be discounted seeing as it's where many men go to blow off steam to bodies they find personally attractive and stimulating.

No, I agree! But you just blanket said "Straight men don't like short legs". I think on a shapely, petite package, short legs can look great! It's all about proportions. If a woman is in shape and her legs are in proportion with the rest of her body, she'll look good. It's all about proportions!

BTW, I am not dissing long legs either!

Ive very rarely seen a porn actress with short legs .......... cept for that time I accidentally strayed onto a Dutch midget site ....... but I digress.

By and large men prefer longer legs. I know you hate that, but its just fact. If this was that game with whats-his-name ....... the one married to Amanda Holden a while back ...... we'd be going 'Survey says!....... top answer .. Long Legs'

See post number 32, it's all about proportions.

Men who aren't leg men, won't be too fussed about legs unless they're hideous.

Just like men who aren't breast men find it hard to muster an interest in them.

One common demoninator, I find, is that all men tend to be all about dat ass!

I agree, the majority of men probably like longer legs, but you pretty much said 100%. Sorry, that's just a daft statement.

You seem to be going to an awful lot of trouble to convince us about short legs ......... something you want to share with us?

I think I'm making some good points actually and was using examples that are outside my female viewpoint.

And physical beauty does tend to come down to classical proportions. You can fit those at 5'2" or 5'11".

I hate glib blanket statements, as you can see. Like I said, I hate when women proclaim what all of us like, so it's not a one-sided dislike.

I must admit Zoe doesn't really attract me. Leaving her personality aside, her voice is unpleasant to my ear and well, she just doesn't do it. Susan is gorgeous, and Helen and Melody are pretty attractive. Natasha is OK. I personally find Zoe the least attractive remaining girl.

Thank you! I have nothing against long-legged lovelies but a pair of short, slim, shapely legs can be good too!

You're telling me. I'm 6'2" and my friends who are 10" to 12" shorter than me get away with murder. Men fall over themselves to help them with all sorts of minor tasks that they wouldn't dream of helping me or my 5'10" and 5'11" friends with, and they get things for free and men totally ignore these three "posts" in front of them to talk to the petite ones in bars and clubs.

Im a straight guy and I've always preferred long legs, along with all the other straight guys I know.

What kind of straight guys are you asking? Because you need to be getting your information from me ...... Im a lot more reliable than your friends. Seems to me a lot of your 'straight' friends aren't being entirely honest with you ..... or themselves.
All the straight guys I know and personal experience (see my previous post).

I'm not saying it goes for all straight men. Some do fall for the "conditioning". It's the same reason that what is considered desirable in terms of weight and size changes over the years and people fall for it but it's all led by what the fashion industry presents and wants to promote but the fact remains that the fashion industry is led by a lot of a gay men and a handful of women, all of them preferring the body shapes of males to those of females.

You only have to look at the celebrity women (outside of the fashion industry) that men have found attractive over the years. From Marilyn Monroe to Farrah Fawcett to Debbie Harry to Kylie Minogue to Cheryl Cole, to name just a few. They're short.

Also, it's no coincidence that in girlbands, for example, the most popular one with males is the shortest. Or in female ensemble casts. as in the case of Farrah.

The female of the species being smaller than the male is dictated by nature, particularly in sentient males.

In my experience, tall women are only preferred by short men with their own complexes who think a tall woman will draw attention to them or lads with less brain cells than pairs of trendy shoes who follow like sheep.

Back to Zoe, she's the best looking of a mediocre bunch.
