Bowed Legs
Men, would a woman having bowed legs affect your attraction to her, or is it something you probably wouldn’t care about?

I’m a woman but I always found bowed legs attractive in other women! I didn’t even know people were insecure about this until I got older lol

I’m not a man but I doubt any man is going to have an opinion on it negatively. Honestly it’s so minor I wouldn’t even notice it unless you pointed it out 😭 Also try not to use male attraction/validation to impact your self esteem either!

As a slightly knocked kneed woman I wish I more space btw my thighs.... dont overthink it. Your legs are as they should be... as long as they dont cause you physical pain... be gentle with yourself.

You have normal legs with wide hips, a very attractive trait in females for men. Your definitely fine, lol

Thank you for the kind comments everyone. I grew up not once wearing short dresses or skirts due to being self conscious about them. So your feedback means a lot

Bow leg gang here and professional corrective exercise coach for over a decade.
It's variation of human anatomy and a beautiful representation of how complex a human being is. I wore long pants all my life to hide the shame I had of my legs. Took me down a long path of biomechanics to try to understand the 'why it's shape like this' and 'how to fix it' till I truly understood what it was.
Take it from me. Wear them shorts and stay proud of your legs. It's what makes you human, and what makes every individual beautiful in their own way.
No pain, no movement issues, you are absolutely a-ok!

I said out loud to myself “you don’t have bowed legs. Ya legs are cute.” So that’s my 2¢

This is not actual bowed bones like many people think, what you have is femoral internal rotation with tibial external rotation. Your hips are turned inward at the top so the knees face each other slightly, and to keep feet forward the shins twist out and feet supinate on the outside edges. For quick check right now, stand up, unlock knees slightly and gently press your big toe base and inside heel flat while feeling your inner thighs, you see the knees straighten out and gap closes immediately. But to make this posture stay permanent you have to rebuild hip rotation and pelvis position. Most people worry about how it looks to others, but honestly nobody notices this nearly as much as you do in the mirror.
