What makes every girl grow up to sit and cross her legs?

Question

I noticed ever since i was a little kid i see girls and women sit and place one leg over the other. I first noticed it in school when i saw a couple of girls sit like this and then i realized that all women and girls cross their legs when sitting.I even see them crossing their legs when they sit on a guys lap or lay down or lay even on somebody.It seems girls cross their legs as much as possible! Do you cross your legs and why and when did you start?

Answer 1

I've always crossed my legs ever since I was little. I don't know, it just feels more comfortable for me to sit this way. I actually have them crossed right now =) But not every girl does it. Most of my friends don't sit like this so I don't know.  

Answer 2

because if theyre wearing a skirt, u cant see their underwear

Answer 3

it just looks ladylike and gives the impression of being classy and feminine

Answer 4

Probably because we grew up watching other women do it. And also because it's a good way to ensure people won't be looking up your skirt.

Answer 5

Answer 7

you see older people do it so it makes you do it... and when you wear a short skirt or something, nothing shows.... also it feels more comfortable because i'm not spreading anything... i do it ALL the time..

Answer 8

Their mothers teach them to do it so they don't expose their ... you know.

Answer 9

Its becuses our moms tell us too when we wear dresses and skirts so we endup doing it all the time

Answer 10

well its because little girls watch what other people do and when they see a richer older beautiful woman crossing her legs they think that it is the beautiful thing to do. little kids pick up on what other people do. but i heard that when you cross your legs you get cellulite. yeah i cross my legs but i try not to as much as i can, when i notice i am doing it. i think i started crossing m legs when i was around 7 or 8.  

Answer 11
