Guys And Their Legs.
Posted February 8th, 2010 at 7:04AM
I'm not sure if this rates as a social norm or not but it is definitely something that seems to be universal amongest men in the western world...especially in rural areas.
Men. They stand around in groups at parties, meetings, field days, other social events catching up with whatever guys talk about - BIG sheds, BIG fish, BIG tractors, BIG weekends ;), BIG cars, BIG computers, BIG whatever... Have you ever noticed that the more they are try to impress one another, the further their legs part. When I'm bored at events that are male dominated, I like to stand to the side just and just observe groups of men and their legs - quite a phenomenon!
It seems that the more threatened they are feeling, by what the other bloke/s were saying, the farther their legs part, inch by inch shuffling into a stance that increase their pelvic tilt. It makes great entertainment if you are ever bored at a BBQ!

It's funny to watch WG, but what does it all mean??? Is standing with legs further apart a way of indicating the size of your 'other' equipment? Hence your credibility in the 'mine's bigger than yours' discussion?
-
Oh, absolutely Roj! What else could it mean??
-
Just thought I'd better spell it out...
-
Often people will come up to me and say "What are you smiling about?" I usually tell them and then we both watch on, very amused.
-
Probably a good idea Rojjy :)
-
Apparently the tone of voice changes too...
-
Yep. Certainly does! I can't really describe it but I can always tell when Roj is talking to a male as opposed to a female on the phone. It is especially pronounced when he is speaking to his father. Cracks me up.
-
You bet! I wonder what the equivalent phenomenon is in the world of females...
-
Could it be - competitive story telling?
-
But males do this too!
-
These men are obviously striking poses for the females as were all trying to compete for attention from women. I myself am so starving for attention from women I often spread my legs a little just to let random women realize i'm going to be more than receptive to their glances. No no,., it's not what you think, it's a territorial thing.., the further we spread our legs, the more space/terriroty we occupy thus increasing our chances of getting noticed by women. Of course, I could be wrong.., it could be a "pre-stance" required to let all the watching women know how we feel about having our butts scoped out and stared at ;) Now pretty please send me some messages as I'm still craving attention from women.., I think I had add. -
Not quite in the same way WG - or with the same enthusiasm.
-
NOOOO. I liked it first!
-
Ha ha WG. Very good.
-
Faucon! What do you think we're doing standing around making out like we've got enormous equipment??? Trying to impress eachother but we're all hoping that the women watching are noticing...
-
LOL Roj. I certainly notice you Big boy! *hands out spew bags to the audience*
-
******* himself laughing*
-
Glad I could enlighten you. Life will be all the more funnier now! Will you ever be able to walk through another construction site again without laughing??
-
Roj does. I don't think there is a plant in the garden that he doesn't own! NIght Faucs :)
-
Oh wow! *smacks forehead* Yes, of course! I have noticed the legs apart thing but never connected it with ...well, showing off "equipment" to copmpetitors ;) Just can't hide the animal in us ;)
-
Be honest -- you just like watching men spread their legs.
-
Well you can tell by my avatar that I don't believe in the theory . That's ridiculous. This is my rock star stance.
-
Well, we just can't win.
I walk around the party, mingle, greet the ladies, comment on their nice hair, dress, outfit,etc. Then later I take hidings from my lady for "flirting", or "loving the ladies too much".
So, I walk over to the guys and stand with my legs........................
hehehe
b -
hahaha, now you mention it ...
-
Wow - that's about the most ridiculous thing I've read. But, it could be true.
Maybe they're getting ready to be punched for their behavior. -
Trailguide - lol - that's right, men are definitely the more unrefined of the species ;)
CME - Funny, it's usually the other way round!
Jimmy - After wear them tight pants for such a long time, you'd be lucky to have anything worth projecting into a crowd anyway ;)
bcj - having you heard song that goes -
Let the sun shine through cos
Mummies always win
And Daddies always lose
....or somrthing like that...
Mediocre - *men all around the world all of a sudden are getting very self conscious about their stance*
Fascade - Of course it's true! -
Body language is fascinating wildernessgirl ... I'm sure you're right ... very well observed!!
-
What other explanation can there be WB?! :)
-
crap-now everytime i talk to a gal i am going to be worried about my legs
-
I think I have to agree if women have kids it's all about how perfect their child is. The only people I ever here having issues have been BF4E...
I think you could be onto something I'll watch the next male grouping :) -
Goodmove - Hmmm, I'm not sure about that! I'll have to listen to myself chat to friends...
Ranmon - LOL
BHH - Nope, my kids aren't perfect :)
