I have really short stubby legs but my torso is fairly long in comparison.

Is short legs and long torso considered too be an unattractive body type?

After a certain age, most people don't even notice this sort of thing.

Men tend to have shorter legs than women.

I am a short man who has short legs (28 inch inseam). I've never had particular problems because of my short legs.

There was a poll on the internet and most people favoured short torso and long legs but maybe that more applies too women than men.

True, but you don't have to be attractive to find a partner. There are unattractive women who would like a partner and will certainly consider someone who has short legs.

Thanks for making me feel optimistic about my future love life. Being sarcastic.

If your inseam is 28 or above, you probably don't have particularly short legs.

Anyone who is put off by short legs is probably not someone you want to spend time with. Or maybe get back to them when they've matured a bit.

To be honest, the mentality that you can grade women like potatoes leaves me rather baffled. "I've got short legs, but I can always pull a grade C girl who is over weight and has bad breath" WTF is that all about? These are all living breathing people... some of them may have attributes that don't suit you... but short legs ain't one of them.

Why do you keep asking us questions about what we find attractive? Are you fishing for compliments? Attractiveness/unattractiveness is subjective.

When I was younger, I used to chuckle at my boyfriend's (now husband) short legs until I saw him dance. He rocked my world.

People seem to obsess about height in general. As an adult European who's 4"11 it really bothers me.

I mean mostly when it comes to men but even with women there's an obsession with her long legs...

And all the reasons to like short women tend to be creepy and infantilising anyway.

The OP should start wearing a kilt.

Short legs OK, as long as not fat legs.

And that’s a good thing?

You think this makes men happier?

It is if you are short.
