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.[/quote]
The Critic on Aesthetic International Standards has spoken.

That only depends on the thickness of the shin and ankle.
Test Icicle, while I would agree with your #2 and #3, your #1 looks nothing more than a flexed, high inserted calf that is kinda pressed against the back of the thigh rather than “developed”. It does look nice in that shot, I just think it’s a different, possibly deceiving shot compared to the other two, which are standing.

Low calves with thin ankles is glorious!

I agree, and at your height, I’m sure you know what your talking about.

Sheesh.
1a) Developed, high insertion
And fwiw, I agree with ID. A large calf : ankle ratio is preferable to a smaller one.

LOL. Not trying to nitpic.
I guess we have different ideas of high insertion. Christina pic is what I call high. 1a seems what I call normal. A developed and definitely a very nice calf muscle, though, indeed.
Edit: Honestly I think this would be my preference out of the three examples posted.
Off topic a bit - I’m wondering if some people have very high Lat insertion?
I think that might be why I can’t seem to develop lats. I think they insert up high near my shoulder blades. Am I the only one, or is this just an excuse for not getting some lats?
About calves - It’s all about proportion. Calves that are bigger than glutes, not good.
