Why do some men cross their legs like women when they sit?

Ok, seriously, unless your balls just dropped, it's not rocket science to figure out how to sit with your legs crossed comfortably.
 
My take on it - it's very effeminate. Further, my junk is in the way, I couldn't do it if I tried. Although I am somewhat "gifted" downstairs... In a formal situation, yes - the 'manly' ways of crossing your legs are too casual/informal - solution: don't cross 'em.
 
Dude everyone can do this. It just puts pressure on your balls. I don't believe anyones balls are so huge that they cant cross their legs.
 
I cross my legs like that sometimes now... I didn't do it before. It took me a few times to learn how to do it without hurting myself down there. Now it doesn't hurt... just sitting with my legs straight next to each other (knees touching and legs not crossed) puts a lot more pressure "down there" than crossing them at the knees.

and they dont give a sh1t when other ppl think about that.

no one is saying they should care...unless they get all defensive about it...then ya, it'll be fun to make fun of them and wonder about them... 😛

This is the correct answer. You people have no class.

2. it looks awefully feminine

???

why do some men sit with their legs WIDE (I mean, WIIIIIIIIIIDDE) apart, as if their c0ck & balls are so HUGE that they just HAVE to have their legs stretched that wide apart to prevent from squashing their tackle. Look at your reflection in the mirror. You look unseemly and ridiculous.
 
I cross my legs however I want, and if thats a problem for you, you're the homo for caring how I sit.

Howbout this: quit watching how other men cross their legs, and maybe you'd be less disturbed by your own homosexual tendencies.
 
I'm 21, and i know it is "against the manly image" to do that, but for me its more comforatable. I used to sit using the "man" variant, at the ankles, but ever since i hurt my back, it's WAY more comforatable to cross my legs, dunno why, maybe it slightly twists my body in a way that's more comforatable for my back......oh well. It helps that i've got tiny balls, so it doesn't hurt at all(depends on what pants i'm wearing)

So we now risk offending people with the soles of our shoes? Anyone that is easily offended by shoe soles is far more questionable than someone who crosses their legs like a girly-man. 😛
