Lower on the shin, better insertion points.
My wife’s calves are nice and low on her shin and my high little calves are jealous when they see 'em.

You mean the uproarious jokes involving some variation of the word “sandwich?” Next thing you’ll tell me is you don’t like jokes about airline food…
Have you tried shaving your legs?
SOME women have good calves. SOME women don’t. Here is a pic that refutes about every reason given here.
Christina Aguilera:
- Is a woman.
- Wears heels a lot.
- Dances a lot on stage.
- Has had a baby and is still storing pregnancy fat in this picture.
- Insanely high insertions.
I don’t know if she makes sammiches or not. So maybe that’s the key.

I though waxing was more effective…
I think it is perception. Women have their legs exposed more than men; therefore we are exposed to a larger population of women’s calves and take note of the exceptional specimens.

Wow, her legs are absolutely shapeless.
Why is she considered ‘hot’ again?

I didn’t know she was ever considered ‘hot’.

Good point, I’ve noticed that before on her, it’s like she is the anti-calf
Now Britney Spears on the other hand…

I’m not into Spears, but those are some nice calves!
I can’t believe you like those calves. Fat, or even muscular calves with ‘low insertions’ are not nice on women.
Attractive women are pretty much the opposite of what men should look like (duh).
Men should be overall tall, have broad shoulders, long spine, short legs, low muscle insertions, thick muscle bellies and thick bones everywhere so all limbs look extremely stumpy and stocky.
Women should be overall short, have short spines and long legs, and high muscle insertions so their limbs look elegant.

I had actually thought of posting a pic of her just for comparison. You could take the list I made for Christina and apply it to Britney and it would all hold true, except maybe for the “still carrying pregnancy fat”. Yet one has great calves, the other has none.
It’s all just genetic.

Is this sarcasm?
haha, no wasn’t sarcasm. That’s the stereotype - taken to the extreme, the ideal depiction of muscle men are always proportioned like gorillas with huge torso and stumpy, thick limbs, and women are proportioned like barbie, with long legs and tiny torso.

Sorta like this?
Also, do you or do you not like Britney’s calves?
Britney’s calves look good there because they are relatively muscular, giving her lower legs some shape. In general, high calf insertions look better on women than low calf insertions which tend to give a cankles effect, especially if the woman is wearing low boots.

So you prefer Christina’s then? Or say a “normal” insertion. I ask because the examples given so far have kinda been on both sides of the extreme.
I also think it depends on how the thighs are shaped. Britney would look odd with her thighs and Christina type insertions. I never noticed Christina’s calves until she, and her thighs, got big. When she was younger she was skinny and un-muscular everywhere, so you didn’t really notice it.
I couldn’t care less if her calves are all muscle or some muscle and some well placed fat or whatever, these are my IDEAL calves on a woman, luckily my wife has calves a lot like this
And I don’t think she has overly low insertions
