Whether or not one is heteronormatively attractive enough to let out one's thighs shouldn't be a thing. Showing skin in public aught to be freed from the male gaze's judgement. Ah but there's so much internalized prejudice to peel off. Maybe one day.
I mean... guys wearing basically short shorts just literally was pretty much standard athletic wear in the 70s/80s/90s, roughly.
Maybe I just I don't get a lot of this cuz I'm an autistic cis dude who just does not care what 95% of people think about most things... but... it kinda just seems like fashion cycles to me.
Like I guess we're back to mom jeans now, now ... so, theoretically we'll be back to slim fit / skin tight pants in maybe another 10 or 15 years?
Also, at least in my own experience, it was usually the self styled pretty/popular girls that would be giving the most shit to a 'less conventionally attractive' girl trying to pull off the same look or fit as them.
If you as a guy pointed at a gal and made fun of their looks, everyone now hates you, you are widely known as an asshole.
But if you're a pretty/popular gal, and you insulted another gal (or guy's) outfit, well, now its actually debatable as to whether or not you 'had a point tho' or 'were just being a bitch'.
That would be a discussion that actually happens, is allowed to happen, as compared to the ssme thing but a guy started it... in that situation, 99% certainty everyone agrees the guy is an asshole.
Granted, I have not been inside a highschool since the mid 2000's, so... maybe things are significantly different now in a way I do not understand.
I certainly do not know how this dynamic plays out in younger folks with significantly different gender norms that exist nowadays... back in my day, being just gay or lesbian or bi was extremely controversial... we didn't really even know trans people or intersex people could even exist.

Nah, it isn't bad, especially if you're used to Chewbacca legs.
And I will totally wear shorts like that without freshly shaved legs. People have body hair and that's fine ¯\(ツ)/¯

half an hour? how small are your legs?
it takes me half an hour just to get through my thighs.
tr0xy@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 114d
now I have to shave my legs just to see how leng it takes
Mika@piefed.ca · 1 pts · 114d
Do you shave with the razor or with electric tool?
djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 1 pts · 113d
razor for my legs
tr0xy@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 108d
I don’t think I really got everything and it’s not really smooth or anything, but:
With trimming it to shortest possible the day before (I didn’t measure this) it took me 13 minutes with 90cm legs.
That preparation is indeed important, because the razor would clog up quickly otherwise.
With arms together it took me 22min, but I barely have hair on my arms.

If you can trust me to see your cellulite, then I can trust you to see my scars.

Ah, maybe I missed some context there.
Well, our scars and marks don't need to be identical to potentially uh, appreciate each other.

Making legs kiss made me think of scissoring
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 4 pts · 114d
Ooooh.
Well I missed the context in a totally different way than I thought I did.
Derp.
Nonetheless, still potentially dt-scissor your stretch marks if you are, lol.
You could still do M v F or M v M scissoring, with or without insertion.
