There is a German concept called sitztriser. (Don't bank on the spelling.) The idea is that some people get their hight in the legs. A sitztriser person gets theit hight from their bodies. My buddy Matt pointed out that sitting down he and I are the same height. Standing, he is 6'1", I am 5'10".
Now, for the importatn question: Is it unattractive for a girl to have short legs?
The standard for Western Civilization is for women to have "legs all the way up to their neck."
That said, there are guys who really like to see a long, lithe body. A girl with both would be 6/2" and the very guys who set the standard could not get a date with one of those girls. She would want a taller guy, and there arent so many really tall guys to run with a 6'2" lady.
So don't worry about "attractiveness" Keep yourself healthy and in good physical shape, go places where the kind of people you like hang out. (You want to run with boozers, hang out in a bar. You like a boyfriend who pisses away large sums of money, hang out at a race track. You get the idea.) High heels make legs look longer. But don't worry about that knd of crap. My Grandmother always said, "I never did see a skinny horse that you couldn't find a skinny bush to tie it to". Relax. Get used to the way you look. Karen Carpenter was a beautiful woman. She killed herself trying to live up to her own ideas body image. Read Desirata and have a good time.

I saw once in a magazine that this girl had uneven legs and she had surgery to lengthen the shorter leg (none of the uneven leg stuff is about you) and then she realized that her legs were shorter than her upper half of her body so she had surgery again. All I'm saying is that it may be true that your legs are shorter than your upper body, but I think it's okay to have short legs, you may want to consult with your doctor about this.

I am sure you will find a girl who will like just the kind of legs you have. Anyway, if you want your legs to look longer, you should wear tight pants, with a long waist.

It's kind of awkward looking, but that's just my opinion. It's not weird or ugly though. I notice a lot of people are like that. It's not a deformity or anything, so don't worry about it. I doubt if anyone, man or woman, judges others on how long their legs are. And if they do, it's stupid. I've never heard of much preference for long or short though.
