Women's arms bend awkwardly

well thats because they didn't have to evolve strong straight arms to clothesline the wild beasts of prehistory 🙂

before we invented spears, how do u think we took down wild game on those african plains eh?😉
 
Somewhat an optical illusion too, since women's forearms actually bend OUT from the body when they are held straight. Men's pretty much go in a straight line. This evolved due to womens larger hips.

this would point to their bone/joint structure in their arms being different... hard to believe.

😕

Why would it be hard to believe, they have bewbies, their hips are wider, they have more fat, they have bewbies...
 
women are more flexible by nature. it has something to do with hormones and how it effects cartilage or something like that
 
Yes, and I can bend my thumb and second (pointer?) finger all the way back, both hands.

Can also put both legs behind my head.

AND I'm double jointed.

figures 🙁

sample ... seriously... I've noticed this with my wife and a few other females but only 1 male ever. What's up with this ? It's not even a double-jointed thing... my arm does not go beyond 1 degree backwards... but theirs... ow.

Dude, everyone's arm does that.

If you look closely her elbow bends inward to her side. Try it yourself.

No you're not understanding it correctly then. Stick your arm out straight in front of you palms up. It is likely the same angle all the way out. For women, I've noticed from the elbow outward, it has a further angle downward. It's the same effect when you look at the picture. Compare it to a <TM>real live woman</TM> and you'll see what I mean. Well, if yours does that too, you won't see what I mean...

Does not work for me. I think it only works for skinny people with low muscle mass on their arms.
