I'm extremely self conscious about my legs. I run sometimes, and I play softball. I'm also 5'9" and in pretty good shape. But my dad has huge calves, and so do I. It makes me feel shorter, fatter, and less attractive. Opinions?

not even close...they are very proportional and lean most women would kill for your legs

You have thick calfs, get use to it, they're not going anywhere. I have ridiculously thick quads; they're as wide as my shoulders. What can I do about it? I'm not complaining but I'm sure someone else might.That's just how some people are built. Some people have blue eyes, some brown, and that's just the way it goes. You can't change genes.
Does it make you less attractive? I guess that all depends on what some people consider attractive or not. It's all up to the individual to judge. I personally like curves but I'm sure someone else might not; it depends on who you ask.
Honestly, don't worry about it. It's not a big problem at all. Don't worry about society's perception of "attractive" and society's unfair judgements. You're just fine the way you are. I hope that helps.

Eventually you're going to have to kick the s*it out of some guy, so strong legs are definitely a plus.

Be glad you have feminine curves. Lots of girls have toothpicks for legs and guys don't find that attractive, no matter what people say. Guys like curves, not fat, but feminine curves. No, they aren't big, I've seen alot bigger. Don't worry, you seem to be fit and not overweight, enjoy it!
