Lol poor guy. Before we started dating, my wife frequently wore dresses that showed off her legs. Probably caught me staring at them more than once. But in my defense, when a beautiful work of art passes before your eyes, how can you ignore it?

Why did you stop her?

I feel u, beautiful people deserve appreciation wherever they go!

THANK YOU. But the government still refuses to pay for a herald for me...

My partner has a prosthetic leg, so "to go to bed" would be a valid response

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 23 points 23 hours ago

My buddy has one. "To threaten someone" would be a valid response. I've seen him take it off after telling someone he's going to put his foot up their ass.

There's a scene in Animorphs where 'Ax', roughly a centaur body-form alien, crash landed on Earth...

Either one or two of the main characters find him, hide him in some cabin or something, and Ax begins to freak out, beg his human friends to stop harming themselves...

When they change into clothes that aren't waterlogged and covered in mud.

Because he has no concept of 'clothing', and thinks they are ripping their own bodies apart.

EDIT:

Derp, I am a dumbass and blended together two different scenes and characters.

It's not Ax who roughly has the above described seen play out.

It is Elfangor, a different Andalite, Aximili's older brother, and IIRC, that actual story about the clothes takes place outside of the mainline books, happens in one of the... couple of sort of extra canon books, that follow different characters, not directly in sync with the mainline serial books.

I should really re-read the animorph books....

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

I should really read them a first time

I got bored of Harry Potter.

I read all of Animorphs, and its expanded canon, outside of the main plotline of the serial series.

Plus, just... those covers man. Those covers.

Fucking ridiculous, but also classic, nothing else like em.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I've only read the main series as they were coming out. Book fairs at school kicked ass for most of the time I was a kid.

Fuck. Yeah. That's awesome!

... there's also a hilariously poorly recieved TV show that had a whole season shot, but was pulled from airing not too long after it started.

It was... very fucking goofy, lol.

You might get a kick out of finding and watching it, I think it had a few actors/actresses in it that did later go on to have some decently successful careers, as adults.

I think technically it may have counted as what we now call lost media for a while, but there are DVD releases of it, it does exist, its just... fairly rare, pretty damn niche.

MAN do I wish I would get that response. Instead I don't stare at people, mainly cuz I'm shy. It also doesn't bode well when I would, as just because I'm shy doesn't mean that women are not scared of my appearance, which sucks.

If a ugly person starrs at you it's considered creppy.

If a hot person starrs at you it's considered as confident and attractive.

[–] vestigeofgreen@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I can't imagine even the skinniest fit and thinnest 100% cotton denim fabric to mold to the legs enough to differentiate between toned and untoned calf muscles. I can't even imagine the new 98% cotton, 2% elastane jeans to be that tight.

I can only conclude OOP's definition of toned leg definition of jeans differ significantly from mine.

[–] ReluctantMuskrat@lemmy.world 13 points 21 hours ago

You're thinking calf and I'm thinking muscular thighs. You can definitely see the difference in tight, stretchy jeans.

Guy clearly needs to branch out and explore more kinks. That's such a silly question to ask for anyone in the know.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 day ago

Even not super kinky, there's positions and such that would be easier without those pesky legs in the way.

What is she a british doctor?

[–] Zagorath@aussie.zone 10 points 1 day ago

TranscriptionPlain black text on a plain white background:

A girl who caught me looking at her very toned legs in jeans.

Her: "Whatcha looking at?"

Me: Sorry your legs look great in those jeans.

Her: You should see me without them.

ME: Why would you take off your legs?

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 2 points 20 hours ago

Sometimes the stumps get itchy, duh.

[–] Zapados@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Who wouldn't want to take off thier legs? You could fit through small spaces like an air vent.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 22 hours ago

Or a bus seat...

[–] etherphon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I guess he's never seen the movie Boxing Helena.

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 1 day ago

Good question.
