47" Legs?

[barry1010]

How did this work? I'm a lot taller than this lady who is just under 6' but my legs are a lot shorter, and I have trouble buying trousers long enough https://mol.im/a/11659643

Maybe I've read it wrong

You need to leg it now Baz.
Stop while you can,,

Women often have a shorter body to leg ratio, I am only 5'6" but have to buy long trousers, Dave was the same height but wore short . If we stood side by side my hips were level with his waist. The other thing is men measure inside leg. .. Women measure outside because traditionally it wasn't seen as nice to stick a tape measure anywhere near a ladies important little places.

I’m 5’9” with 34 inch inside leg, Mr RR is 5’10” and his leg is 31. My son is 5’11” his legs are the same as mine.

My son is 6'5" and his inside leg measurement is 33" when he was little I couldn't work out why his shirt never stayed tucked into his trousers

Mr B is 6ft 2 , was taller , now shrinking, his inside leg measurement is 33 inches , I’m 5-5 and mines the same , I have quite a short back

Right, that's decided then, we're all different and Mick Jagger likes long legs, furthermore skiing is dangerous and stupid.

35" leg is very different to a 47" leg, though. That leaves less than 24" for her bottom, torso, neck and head.

Some people use the outside measurement for legs to make them sound a lot longer.

MrT and I were much the same height. I was 5 10 and he 5 11. My legs are much longer than his and his body much longer than mine. Now I have shrunk my legs are still much longer than his. He hasn't shrunk so I now have to look up to him! As a younger lady I always wore mens long levi jeans . His were medium . Ladies trousers and jeans never fitted me with their wider hips and thighs!!

[barry1010]

I know women can have a longer leg to body ratio, what I'm questioning is the massively long 47".
If you measure outside the leg, where do you measure from?

[MissTerious2]

I don't see how anyone can measure their legs on the outside. Where do the hips end and the legs start!

My full-length trousers would look like a pair of shorts on her.

Oh! They measure from the hip bone - that explains it
