As A Woman, Which Do You Prefer to Have; Muscular or Skinny Legs?
VS. 
I've got a lot of interesting comments on my previous article entitled “Does Spinning Make Your Legs Bulky?”
Click below to see the article:

Of all those, I found two distinctive opinions which I thought would be fun to share. While I was worried about having bulky thighs, few of the commentators brought up an interesting point--what’s wrong with having muscular legs?
Hmmm… Well, what do you think? Being a woman, would you rather have muscular or thin legs?

I prefer having legs that are in between muscular and skinny.
@Btrfly_Wngs@xanga - haha that's funny because i'm 5'8 and 115 too. and i run track, and i can squat with a lot of weight.
however, as a runner, i'm sure she had muscle. i'm sure her legs weren't skin and then bone. it's distressing to read about these women wanting to look emaciated and weak instead of strong and able to defend themselves.
"thin legs" are not "toned legs" or "slightly muscular legs." thin legs are emaciated legs, legs that have never run a mile before because of fear of getting larger. i guess i'm exaggerrating my point because i'm so sick of women leaving health behind in order to be thin enough. you know what i mean?
personally i'd go for toned rather than bulk, but women don't get bulky muscles because of our genetic make-up. so toned is equal to muscular.
i'm at not skinny they're pretty muscular but nothing like that photo.
I don't see anything wrong with it. skinny legs with a gap in between your thighs, makes you look funny. Like you have so much sex you have a gap lol.
Lean/shapely - not skinny, but not overly muscular/bulky..
I've always had muscular legs by genetics, big thighs, big butt, etc, so they are big (I'm a bit chubby even though I'm at a healthy weight).. I actually like them, yes I want do want to lose some more fat so they show more definition.. but I don't like bulky muscles (I'm talking 8 pack-type, like the model's pic) but I like lean muscle
as a swimmer, i have some muscle on my legs. i think i'd prefer my legs to be toned - just the way they are. skinny looks weird sometimes. toned is just nice.
personally, skinny.
muscular! not even necessarily bulky, but you've gotta have muscles. otherwise all you have is fat on bones...and who wants that???
@PenaltyLife@xanga - I gotcha. I associate "thin" with "small" not non muscular. I agree. My thighs touch, and I am proud of it. I can say regrettably that I was one of those girl's at one point that thought emaciated=perfect, but not anymore. It's called being sick, and I hope anyone who wants to look unhealthy can take a step back to see why like I did.
I'm sure you have kickass legs :)
@PenaltyLife@xanga - i agree! i hate how some women are so afraid of getting bulky. for one thing, as women they would have to go to somewhat extreme lengths to get that way. it's not something that happens by chance for us! also, i don't understand this preference for skinny. there's nothing wrong with being a strong woman. otherwise you're just fat on top of bones-i don't see how fat mass is preferable to muscle mass.
If it was a choice between those 2 pairs of legs in the pictures, definitely skinny.
The muscular is a tad too much and would look weird *imo* when wearing skinny jeans or leggings.
However, I think females look sexy when they are toned! Toned > Skinny. Like Jessica Biel! There's something alluring about a woman who works out and not skinny and thin.
Skinny legs - and I have skinny legs, so...
Muscular, but not THAT muscular. Seriously, that picture is ridiculous. I'd much prefer for my legs to be toned and show off some athleticism rather than just thin.
I'd like to have hardcore calves, but anything else over muscular on a woman, like that picture, just doesn't look right to me.
I think toned legs are great, which is what I have now from swimmingg. (:
i personally dont find muscles attractive on females, so id prefer thin than 'bulky'.
I wouldn't want either of those two options. While the skinny legs have zero muscle, and - although this is just me being superficial - the muscular legs have too much muscle, I'd want something of a mix between the two, for sure. :)
I'm in between skinny and muscular, but if I had to choose most likely muscular because it shows that I'm athletic and not some girl to mess around with. But that's just me
I'm short. Muscular legs will make me look like a gnome.
I go for skinny.
Neither, I like meat on the bones, but not too much. Muscular legs freak me out on women.
I don't think you should have a female bodybuilder as the "muscular" type...it's a bit too much. Maybe very very toned legs?
Toned!
lean muscle would be nice. Bulky muscles would never work for me. I'm short so I think they would make me look stalky.
Fit, toned is sexy. Thin can look knobbly and weak, muscular can look too muscular. Why did you have to choose that picture for muscular? Haha.
based on these pictures posted, of course skinny looks better -__-
somewhere in between. i don't want to be bulky and muscular, but i don't want to be twig-like either.
skinny :) but mine aren't that skinny
