It would'a been sexual harassment....

I would'a been sexual harassment, but I liked it. A supervisor at my temp job asked me today to turn around and stand on tip-toes. I had no clue why he was asking that, but I still did it because he can be kind of funny and I wondered what was coming next.

When I did it, he said, "Oh yeah. Look at those calves! She's a biker."

I said, "That ain't nothin'! I'm not even in good shape right now."

So, basically, my supervisor got by with staring at and complimenting my legs, and I liked it.

Ok, guys! First, I don't have the camera and scanner to do this. If I did, I'd ask e v e r y o n e to post their legs. Second, I'm pretty sure that quite a few of you sculpted gods and goddesses would be diss'ing me. I'm just happy that someone was visually stimulated.

My knees are knocked, and my legs are of differing lengths. No one wants to see that!

There are two threads for this sort of thing on Bike Forums, and posters from all forums are welcome to participate. The very few times I've seen someone say something negative about someone's photo, the members have made mincemeat out of the poster before the moderators even get a chance to look at it. Do check them out.

mmm it feels great to be sexually harassed over your legs I'm a college guy and I shave my legs for swimming and cycling. I'll admit at parties the drunk girls LOVE them. They are always like "oh, they are so smooth way smoother then mine" and they like to touch them

It's weird though when girls are sober they don't show any interest and sometimes say they don't like it. But the second they are drunk the truth comes out.

Any negative comments should be directed to one of my various photos...when you think someone is ugly, I am the ugly standard they must meet.

I'm happy for you that someone took notice and complimented you on the nice calves. I got a nice comment on mine a week ago, but it was from another dude....... oh well.
