Can I wear these shorts?

[Twoshoesnewshoes]

Please be honest
I’ve always had chunky thighs and calves, and I’m about half a stone over my ideal weight.
i have very blotchy legs so will add fake tan!

Yes.

Another one saying you have great legs!

Are you joking?! Of course you can wear the shorts!

I would love to have legs like yours, enjoy wearing the shorts, they look great

I know but we all have our own insecurities and we re trying to find ways to deal with them, one of which is validation by others … rightly or wrongly

dealing with insecurities , via shutting others’ emotions or need for reassurance down though, is not on is it ?

I think we have to agree to disagree, and that’s fine isn’t it. That’s life. The reason I disagree is because actually I don’t really have any significant innate insecurities about what I look like, I’m actually quite happy with how I look. But it’s like I said, when I’m having coffee with someone who is 2 sizes smaller than me, complaining about how fat they are, that’s what makes me insecure. So yes I get that the person sitting opposite me has their own insecurities and that’s fine, but them vocalising that has the effect of putting someone else down. I just think we have a bit of a duty to consider that. So you think my insecurities are making me shut down other people’s search for validation. And I think other people’s search for validation puts others down and makes them insecure. Perhaps it’s a chicken and egg situation. Like I said though, we can disagree, that’s fine

I've got long, very muscly legs and glutes and find that I look best in short shorts that sit at the top of my thighs, or slightly longer ones. I couldn't get away with the length you're wearing as they'd accentuate the meatiest part of my quads and hammies.

Slim women with their own insecurities will be busy worrying about their own legs.

Women have different builds. Some are curvy or athletic. Exercise changes body shape. Ethnicity may influence this too.

The giraffe or matchstick body type is globally not common, and personally I never liked it. In the sports club I used to be in, the joke was drop a jeans size after joining, then go up 2 sizes from training.

You look great. Womanly and strong.

What you need are a pair of daise duke shorts.

Fair enough! I agree you don't have chunky legs at all and I'd say they're on the slim side!

Mine are chunky above the knee and I wear skirt style shorts that pretty much come to the knee.

Hmmm interesting to go shorter or go longer
my bum isn’t great so maybe I’ll try longer

Looks decent to me. Seen better and much much worse. You decide.

No one cares and neither should you.

Yes!!

You have chunky thighs and calves? 😂 I don’t think so!

You have great pins! Enjoy wearing the lovely shorts, cos you look great.

😊

You look great!

You have great legs. The shorts aren't flattering though. They're neither tight nor loose or long nor short. They're just very "eh". Get nicer shorts and show off your legs.

I wish I had your legs. These shorts look really nice!

Are these better?
