Is it impolite for a woman to cross her legs one over the other when wearing a short skirt ?

Question

The skirt would be like one inch above the knee.
I see this done all of the time. So should one go with the flow?

Answer 1

As an adperson, and female, myself, I'd say that will depend only on the shape of the women's legs !
If they are slim and svelte, the lady is exhibiting her precious assets - and this cannot ever be rated as being 'impolite' !
But, if the legs resemble fatty slabs of beef, then the woman is wantonly insulting the viewers' senses and sensibilities - and is most certainly being 'impolite' !

Answer 2

I've been told that it's always impolite for a woman to cross her legs that way, we are always supposed to do it at the ankles. However, I alway cross my legs one over the other, so I guess I am rude.

Answer 3

I like when women sit with thier legs open while wearing a short skirt. So I guess it is impolite.

Answer 4

would you rather that said woman should sit with legs wide apart? Legs crossed is so much better so go with the flow

Answer 5

I don't think that it is impolite, however, etiquette would say that you should cross your ankles and not your legs.

Answer 6

I thinks that it's better to cross the legs at the ankles.

Answer 7

Don't go with the flow, cross the ankles! Crossing the ankles is much more ladylike.

Answer 8

It is not about being impolite.. it is about self-respect. If she wants to show her Cee U Next Tuesday then that's her problem, not yours.

Answer 9

ive never really understood why its like that because when a woman sits with her legs squished together instead, she always accidentally shows her stuff sooner or later.

i try to avoid looking but sometimes it just happens.

Answer 10

Its not impolite. Its a signal.
