When I was a young fella (bloody long time ago) footloose and fancy free... I had a theory, that was often discussed between me and my mates (buddies for the benefit of those in the USA)... that if a young lady had slender ankles, she would retain a good figure as the years passed by, whereupon if she had less than slender ankles, she would increase her weight... the reason... that the ankles would need to be stouter in order to carry the additional weight later.
What are your opinions of this very unscientific theory?
Answers from both girls and guys please...
And guys... will you be considering my theory when your out on the town?

Haha...well I have thin ankles, so I hope your theory is right! I kind of doubt it though. I think it just shows where the person gains their weight. Girls with chunky ankles seem to gain weight in their legs and thighs, and I'll bet girls with thin ankles gain weight in their waists instead. Personally, I'd rather have fat ankles than a fat stomach!!

I've seen women with great lookin attractive ankles as you discribed.
Then as you let your eyes drift up to where the legs join the body it's like rolly polly. So, I don't think your theory will even hold water.
I think it depends, just like the men, It's all in what and how much you eat.

I think this just has to do with the body type they have. If they have some junk in the trunk and thunder thighs (the lower half of their body), they are likely to have bigger ankles. If she is top heavy, she would probably have bigger arms and smaller ankles, etc.

Womens ankles thicken as they age because the veins and things start to swell and degrade with age, and carrying excess weight can make the process go faster. So maybe you were on to something

Your theory is wrong- I knew of several slim women that had slender ankles that later became lard asses.

This question would be better in the "Dating" section, as it has nothing to do with "women's studies." As for you theory...you said it best, it's definitely "unscientific"...and pretty silly.
