Polish Scientists Figure Out Length of Perfect Legs

Thursday, January 17, 2008

When it comes to great gams, it's all in the proportion.

That's the conclusion reached by Polish researcher Boguslaw Pawlowski, whose studies of men and women's preferences led him to conclude that legs 5 percent longer than average are most attractive to both sexes.

"Long legs are signaling health," Pawlowski explained to New Scientist magazine, adding that shorter legs are associated with a higher risk of diabetes and other debilitating diseases.

Pawlowski and his colleagues at the University of Wroclaw showed 218 male and female volunteers photos of seven men and seven women whose images had been altered to make them all appear the same height.

Those with legs 5 percent over the average came in first in the hotness rankings, while those with 10 percent over came in second. Average proportions came in third.

A bit longer than either German or Russian legs would be good.

Now the Polish scientwists have nothing better to do?
Everything has been invented, I gather.

[colorado tanker]

This thread has great possibilities. :-))

[ronnie raygun]

Look these guys are not stupid, what guy wouldnt want thier job?

[Rb ver. 2.0]

Nice.

[Squawk 8888]

All in the name of science.

[decimon]

...Polish scientwists...

Every country has a few.

[LiteKeeper]

Stacy Kiebler - about as perfect a leg as you can get!

[Larry Lucido]

I’m no statistician, but are they impying that only 5% of women can have great legs?

In any case, I’ll have to do my own research.

[mamelukesabre]

Second one from the right...WHAT THE HECK IS SHE WEARING???

[MARTIAL MONK]

That’s easy. They go from the floor all the way up to paradise.

[dan1123]

Ah the only reason I sat through a season of Dancing with the Stars with my wife.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Well, as long as they reach from the butt to the ground!

[mkmensinger]

I believe it was Socrates who said one’s legs should be just long enough to reach the ground.

[Hegemony Cricket]

It appears to be a first-place ribbon...

After many years of studying this very subject while traveling, I’d argue that Polish legs are longer than one would expect. But that much is true of other E. Europeans as well. I’d argue that Polish women stand out from their neighbors in two other large, noticeable aspects.

common sense and intelligence??

Oh my, it looks like...a purple cross! Islamofascist rage boys will call for a fatwa. Run away!

[NonValueAdded]

they go from here to there and back again

There was a freeper with the screen name Hillary's Lovely Legs, since banned ... boy, what a contradiction that one was. On one hand there are long shapley legs belonging to the red head she said she was ... OTOH, ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

[mamelukesabre]

I think that was abraham lincoln.

[Laptop_Ron]

This HAS to be a hoax. “Boguslaw”????? C’monnnnnnnnnn. lol

[mkmensinger]

I checked. You’re right. Thanks.

[ShadowDancer]

I know her.

[RosieCotton]

Second one from the right...WHAT THE HECK IS SHE WEARING???

Very little?

[TheDoctorNoh]

[Let's Roll]

I don’t think she’s anatomically correct either - I mean, it looks like something is missing ...

[Michael Barnes]

that google search; first row, 3rd from the left.

Thank you, thank you for that link!

[mamelukesabre]

She got legs, and knows how to use them...

Do those guys still perform?

[tdscpa]

Yes. They were the halftime show at one of the bowl games.

[uglybiker]

Yeah, they're still around.

[Daffynition]

Legs . . . she knows how to use them !

[ShadowDancer]

So does he:

[Slings and Arrows]

I just found my new research project.

“...whose images had been altered to make them all appear the same height.”

This little trick invalidated the study results!

It IS the proportionality that makes a difference and the first thing they altered was the proportion!

.....now I’ll have conduct my own study!

[Konrad_PL]

The longer, the better?

[kimmie7]

I didn’t know the bulemia/anorexia circus was in town!

My legs are perfect. They reach all the way to the floor.

[Redcloak]

I’d say that perfect legs are ones that go all the way to the ground.

[ovrtaxt]

Cool. I love Klezmer music!

...Hava...Nagila....

[Jeff Chandler]

I’ll save them a lot of time and money when Mrs. Chandler gets home. Now where did I leave that tape measure?

[MeekOneGOP]

For enquiring minds that wanna know ...

[MeekOneGOP]

bump!

[Charles Henrickson]

This thread has legs.

[Verdelet]

What’s wrong with that one?

[colorado tanker]
