My husband never wears shorts -- NEVER -- until I bought him the baggy shorts for his bike. He hates his legs, thinks they are skinny and wimpy.

My gosh -- I love his legs, and have always told him so! If we'd had daughters they would have been Rockettes. We both have long, slender but well-defined legs -- well, until I gained weight. LOL

But he has great well-defined calves and nice thighs, but he thinks they're skinny. He was a skinny little boy and his friends teased him. The most athletic of his friends had big muscled thighs. Thing is, that's great, but I'm not attracted to big muscled thighs!

I finally pointed out to my husband that the most "fit" guy we know wears shorts all the time -- cycles, runs, works out -- and he has scrawny calves. It doesn't stop him from wearing shorts, though.

I don't know that you can really change those insecurities that we carry within us, huh? All I know is I can't wait to get the hubster in tight road shorts. Hubba!
