    Lol poor guy. Before we started dating, my wife frequently wore dresses that showed off her legs. Probably caught me staring at them more than once. But in my defense, when a beautiful work of art passes before your eyes, how can you ignore it?

      My buddy has one. “To threaten someone” would be a valid response. I’ve seen him take it off after telling someone he’s going to put his foot up their ass.

    There’s a scene in Animorphs where ‘Ax’, roughly a centaur body-form alien, crash landed on Earth…

    Either one or two of the main characters find him, hide him in some cabin or something, and Ax begins to freak out, beg his human friends to stop harming themselves…

    When they change into clothes that aren’t waterlogged and covered in mud.

    Because he has no concept of ‘clothing’, and thinks they are ripping their own bodies apart.

    EDIT:

    Derp, I am a dumbass and blended together two different scenes and characters.

    It’s not Ax who roughly has the above described seen play out.

    It is Elfangor, a different Andalite, Aximili’s older brother, and IIRC, that actual story about the clothes takes place outside of the mainline books, happens in one of the… couple of sort of extra canon books, that follow different characters, not directly in sync with the mainline serial books.

        I got bored of Harry Potter.

        I read all of Animorphs, and its expanded canon, outside of the main plotline of the serial series.

        Plus, just… those covers man. Those covers.

        Fucking ridiculous, but also classic, nothing else like em.

          I’ve only read the main series as they were coming out. Book fairs at school kicked ass for most of the time I was a kid.

      Is this a bot? New paragraph for every sentence.

      Edit. What’s with the downvotes people? Some LLMs skip to a new paragraph for every sentence. It’s a weird way to write stuff.

    MAN do I wish I would get that response. Instead I don’t stare at people, mainly cuz I’m shy. It also doesn’t bode well when I would, as just because I’m shy doesn’t mean that women are not scared of my appearance, which sucks.

      If a ugly person starrs at you it’s considered creppy.

      If a hot person starrs at you it’s considered as confident and attractive.

    I can’t imagine even the skinniest fit and thinnest 100% cotton denim fabric to mold to the legs enough to differentiate between toned and untoned calf muscles. I can’t even imagine the new 98% cotton, 2% elastane jeans to be that tight.

    I can only conclude OOP’s definition of toned leg definition of jeans differ significantly from mine.

    Transcription

    Plain black text on a plain white background:

    A girl who caught me looking at her very toned legs in jeans.

    Her: “Whatcha looking at?”

    Me: Sorry your legs look great in those jeans.

    Her: You should see me without them.

    ME: Why would you take off your legs?
