Triangle Legs

26 replies

Del81 · 11/12/2006 16:47

My husband has triangle legs which makes every pair of trousers/jeans that he wears look wrong, do any of your dh's have this problem and can it be rectified with the right clothes or will he always have triangles?

Isosceles or right-angle?

The only answer is a skirt ... although if they're right-angle you might want to consider getting him a third leg for better balance.

Del - what do you mean by 'triangles' exactly? Chunkier at the top?

belgo · 11/12/2006 17:09

I'm also waiting in anticipation to find out what triangle legs are...

WigWamBahhumbug · 11/12/2006 17:10

Maybe he's a Fuzzy Felt man? In which case, all you need to do is swap the triangles for rectangles.

I once snogged a bloke who had a triangle body (like a carrot on it's end) massive shoulder then down hill from there. Worst snog I've ever had

belgo · 11/12/2006 17:11

lol

DonnerDasherDancerDior · 11/12/2006 17:12

Thanks for that image Dances. Who was it on here who had a bloke with a trianglular willy?

HuwEdwards · 11/12/2006 17:12

WWB - definitely on form this evening

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 11/12/2006 17:15

Oooh I had a terrible snog from a triange man too!!!! All teeth and slobber - he was insanely tall too so you got a sore neck

Love the fuzzy felt man...

WigWamBahhumbug · 11/12/2006 17:20

He's the model for Marthamoo's R2D2 cake , isn't he?

(How awful am I going to feel if this is genuine )

moonshine · 11/12/2006 17:33

Is his friend Particle Man?

jalopy · 11/12/2006 17:44

WigWam, hilarious!

jalopy · 11/12/2006 17:46

Actually, post the problem on the style thread. They like a challenge there.

Whizzz · 11/12/2006 17:54

I was wondering why this was in the Relationships Topic ???

"I'm leaving my husband as he has triangle legs"

WigWamBahhumbug · 11/12/2006 18:00

Does he have any other oddly-shaped bits and pieces as well?

ShinyHappyStarOfBethlehem · 13/12/2006 11:34

Oh my good God, I REMEMBER you "DEL" from your extensive trolling on BABYWORLD.. but that was over a year ago, and here you are, all this time later, on a different site, with a similar name, with the exact same thread title and wording!!

Crikey, couldn't you have thought up something else in a year?

Trolls have long memories don't they!

myrrhthamoo · 13/12/2006 11:36

Ooh thanks for my cake bump, wwb

Are they Dairylea cheese triangles? Best keep him away from radiators/open fires etc.

ShinyHappyStarOfBethlehem · 13/12/2006 11:38

She posted it is the Sex and Relationships forum over on Babyworld (over a year ago as stated) and got quite a response, as well as to some other ridiculous threads, I suppose she thought she'd have a go on 'relationships' forum over here...

FLAMEinEckItsYuleAgain · 13/12/2006 12:06

As trolls go its a nice one

I like silly threads

frenchconnection · 13/12/2006 12:17

Particle man, lol! They Might Be Giants were fab!! i was only about 10 at the time but was one of my first albums i bought!

[puts Style hat on and takes query seriously in the hope it'll help others]

Men who have visibly big thighs (or bottoms) and skinny calves are generally wearing the wrong shaped trousers.
DH suffered from this when five years of international-level sport left him with large muscley thighs straining to escape his 80s-style stonewash jeans.

Just as on women with wide hips, jeans-type trousers with straight legs, or (heaven forbid) tapered trousers will make the wide bits look wider and the thin bits thinner. Ditto pleat-front trousers like chinos. The pocket detail of jeans, all clustered just where they're tightest, is a bad look too.
Trousers with a bootleg cut, or that are wide all the way down, are much more flattering.

Gap is a brilliant source of trousers cut in this shape, and do smart-ish chinos as well if you need to do 'smart casual' rather than relaxed.

And remember that anything in the pockets of trousers will make thighs look bigger - shift wallet to jacket pocket, slim down bunch of keys, cull extraneous crap he carries 'just in case'.

And lo, I have rectified your husband's triagnle legs!

Unless, of course, I've misinterpreted and he has slim thighs and really fat ankles...

JackieNoHoHo · 13/12/2006 12:26

ROFL at the 'really fat ankles' MrsB. But ROFLing silently, as am at work.
