Need brutally honest opinions - my legs...

[DoctorAnge]

I am after a break of 20 years, taking up tennis again and loving it. My DH bought me a lovely tennis skirt which I adore however I then realised I would need to show my legs to wear it (duh).

I was teased at school for my overly muscular legs as I did ballet for 15 years and genetically they are just very chunky.

Can I honestly get away with this skirt? If you saw me on the court what would you think? I don't want to be the one everyone is pointing to and commenting on the chunkiness.

Gulp, pic on profile...

You have legs.

I think it does not matter what they are like

it could be worse what a great idea

I have not seen a picture of them but speaking as a person who has mhad 'wrong' legs spoken about often

You have lovely legs!

I agree - great legs. Perhaps your legs weren't in proportion to your body when you were a teenager, but they are now.

TBH I think you could wear that skirt on a night out with the right pair of heels

You have fantastic legs. It's so sad you were bullied. I'm sure your legs were fine when you were a teenager, I bet the bullies were jealous and keen to pick on something that easily upset you.

Legs are something people can't help. I've been thin and bigger and my legs have stayed the same.

I have big fat calves and thighs and for a lot of the time I've been critised for them, which is something I cannot help.Without surgery. which I can't afford.

I can only imagine you must have had different legs (or a different body) when you were teased as a teenager.

Consider that during adolescence, bone grows faster than muscle so legs and arms can become extraordinarily long and skinny (almost comically so. You see the 12 year olds in their school uniforms, pipe cleaner legs sticking out from the skirts). Maybe your legs had muscle mass while your peers were still at the 'bones ahead of muscle' stage, so you might have looked unusually muscular THEN (but don't now). Your legs are things of envy right now.

Your legs are absolutely fine nothing wrong with them! You should not feel paranoid about them at all. Am quite envious actually you have toned good shape legs I have flubby varicous veiny legs with chubby ankles wanna trade? Lol.

Pirate cat I have those legs you speak of too!

Your legs are lovely! Don't hide them away.

You have seriously good legs - get them out!

Your legs are gorgeous. Haven't read any other comments. Just clicked on your profile and was expecting chunky legs. Yours are enviably slim but shapely, pretty perfect!

I've just looked at your photos and now I'm cross. I was expecting a pair of crap legs that looked crap in the tennis skirt. I was all set to mutter soothing platitudes and to feel a bit better about my crap legs and and now I feel worse.

You legs are lovely fine. (said through gritted teeth)

Your legs look great. Athletic, yes - but you are wearing the skirt to play tennis in so athletic is exactly the look you want!

You have amazing pins, i would love to have legs,like that.!

OMG I wish I had your legs!!!! Chunky definitely not a word I would use describe them at all! Well jel :)

Your legs look great, especially in that cute skirt. Go for it.

it could be worse that IS a great idea but love you all as I do I am not posting a picture of my out-of-control fanny hair on the internet

Your legs are very like mine.

You have gorgeous legs, I've been complimented on my legs many times as an adult.

However, when I was a teenager I remember having a conversation with my best friend where we decided to tell each other what their worst feature was. She said my nose, then changed her mind ( thanks) and declared my "wavy legs" to be my worst feature.

Actually, they are defined and shapely and very nice, which is something I only realised was a positive thing at a later date.

She had short, thick legs with no definition between calf and ankle. It took me a long time to realise that she was just being a bitch.

My nose is by far my worst feature, btw, she was right on that one

You have great shaped legs, and you know what? They would look just as good if not better with even more muscle, especially on your quads. I used to have super skinny stick legs, but since I took up cycling they have really toned and bulked up. I hate to blow my own trumpet but my legs look really good now - they are toned, and have great muscle definition. I don't think they look at all 'manly' but are athletic and strong in a feminine way - still shapely and elegant. The only thing I would change about them is to have even more muscle so that I can be even quicker up the hills!

In fact I want her legs!

You have amazing legs!

Attention seeking much?

OMG! If I had legs like that I would wear a short skirt or shorts every day of my life. No-one will be thinking anything but "great legs" go for it!!!
