Do men who cross their legs at the knee want to be women?

Well do they?

WTF is this, high school 1965. Same along the lines how you look at your nails.... Queers palms up, real men palms away.

Never mind Will's knees, that man has lost his looks. It's the big bald head combined with the unfortunate protruding teeth whenever he smiles that not only ups the ugly factor but also ages him.

He used to look hot. Very hot.

Men cross their legs this way when sitting with other men if they want to hide their package. Men who want to flaunt their package keep their legs uncrossed and spread their legs wide.

Crossed legs in fact look more relaxed than feet prissily side by side. Manspreading won't appear in The White House till Trump gets there.

Obama's shoes are just that bit more shiny than William's, but then The President isn't wearing a Rolex.

Men can cross at the ankles if they are slouched down in the seat in a thuggish way.

After I lost a lot of weight, I still felt like a fat guy. It was only when I realized that, if I wanted to, I could cross my leg like Wills and Obama are doing that I actually knew that I had slimmed down. Before, it was impossible to cross them legs at the knees. I had to sit with my ankle resting on top of my knee which hurt like hell.

It's considered gauche to show the soles of your shoes in public. William is crossing his legs correctly. The President looks uncomfortable.

Yes they want to be women, OP! Definitely. Probably they are discussing when to divorce - before the hormones kick in and the tits show, or after. How to avoid the tawdry fucked up transition that was Caitlyn's. That sort of thing.

Yes, that little bit of body language is much more important than how their legs are crossed.

I wonder why Obama is crossed away like that?

For most people, if they cross their leg, it's almost always the same leg.

Try crossing your arms, then cross them again with the other arm on top. It feels strange, no? Same with the leg. While you might occasionally switch just to change position, it usually feels awkward.

I've always associated male leg crossing with social class standing. While it might be different now, in the past, it was usually only done by men of higher social classes.

R44 None. Its Republican bullshit. Obama went along with it just to appease. He has done a lot of appeasing, picking his battles carefully.

Years, decades, ago it was common for men to cross their their legs. It was considered polite. The overall posture of most men and women is appalling these days. So many men now are too fat or stocky to even attempt. Yes, women too.

A slim man looks comfortable sitting with crossed legs. Can't stand the wide leg spreaders.

Obama is a very elegant man anyway. That doesn't mean he's gay or effeminate. If you've paid close attention through the last two terms, Obama can actually be quite charming and even border on flirtatious with women in candid footage.

He isn't gay.

It's a social class thing. Men from middle and upper classes will usually sit like this in company. It keeps your legs out of the way when there are people moving around. It's also the most comfortable way to sit in that kind of upright chair. On the other hand when I visit my redneck relatives in Michigan, the men all seem to sprawl on their LazyBoys or sit with legs propped out on tables, and take up way too much space.

My generalized observation is that how men cross their legs is based primarily on social class.

Men from western, higher or wealthier social classes tend to cross as in OP's pic, as do men emulating that posture.

But, it's also got a lot to do with the type of chair and ability to balance while sitting.

I love that 'west of the Rockies' full man cowboy spread. It's different from the urban manspread which is just some kind of property statement. Cowboy spread shows off a package, whether in trousers or jeans.

by Anonymousreply 64March 21, 2020 8:07 PM

The way a man crosses his legs probably has more to do with his stature, length of legs, wideness of hips, etc. It hurts my hips to even try to cross my legs at the knee.

On a similar note, it annoys the fuck out of me when women complain about manspreading. From my personal experience, I don’t sit with my legs spread a bit because I’m an ass. I do it because my legs are longer (as most men’s are) and it hurts my back to sit with my legs tightly together.

If you have a long commute and always sit cross-legged it can trigger bursitis. It happened to me.

This used to be an obsession with me. Growing up in a working class area, crossing legs was super gay. The went to college and realized the rich, well educated guys did it. Definitely became a social status marker. I noticed at the holiday my 18 year old nephew does it - and it struck me as symbolic of his extreme confidence and suaveness.
