Men's legs are not ugly ! They are perfectly wonderful, hair and all. I wish men would go back to the 1970s basketball shorts style. That was a good length to show them off.

The only thing I find ugly about men's legs are when they have a ridiculous tan line just above their knee because all they ever wear are those nasty, baggy shorts-but-not-really-shorts shorts.

I agree with you, but it depends...I think men do tend to look good with at least some muscle on their legs, even if they're slim, since their fat distribution isn't as even as women their legs can look a bit lanky. Which is partly what I mean by women with 'shapely' legs. I don't find skinny/bony legs all that attractive on women either, not that I want fat legs, even if they're on the slim side they should have some fat/be toned with muscle. Some women also have pretty unattractive legs too. Some look like tree-trunks, lol.

Exactly. Horse knees. Women have them too sometimes but guy ones with the large man joints just look rough.

As a man, I have to say that I don't have the nicest legs. Although women have told me I have nice legs, I just don't see it. I have knobby knees and very little ankles..My ankles are smaller than the majority of womens. Nothing I can do about it. I ran x-country for four years in high school as well as wrestled most of my life. My upper legs are muscular, but my bottom are little..I think it's my worst body part. But once again, women have complimented me on my legs. Maybe I have a distorted view of them, but I see nothing sexy about them. I love me women's legs. I also like tall and slender legs on a women. No tree trunks. Nice legs are one of the things I love most about a women. Unfortunately, very few women can maintain that certain look as they age.

Haha, I think men's knees stick out more because their legs are thinner in general. Women have padded thighs so their knees look 'daintier.'

My legs are muscular. So much that someone thought I had two knees. I have really large calf muscles.

I never wear shorts, unless I'm working out. If I'm doing deadlifts are squats, I try and wear short shorts. If I'm running, short shorts. I only wear jeans though.

In the 30s swimming attire was unisex. In the 50s and 60s, men wore short shorts to swim, popular in Europe today, which were funnily enough skimpier than today. I wish we returned to that fashion, or at least it was an option instead of only having board shorts. Board shorts are so annoying when they soak up water.
