is it only in Turkey or are you guys also noticing this in your country?

It's fat, mate.
I lost 3/4 an inch from my calves just cutting a simple 5 lbs of fat. Now Consider that women store most of their fat on their legs and bust

1. Women are short
2. Women store more fat in their legs
3. Women are, often times, fat

Who /legs/ here (as opposed to "tits vs ass")?

I used to think so, but then I realized how many tall skinny models you see in heels 24/7 with tiny calves (and how many short heavy chicks wearing flats have juicy calves), so no.

To add to this, wearing heels all day is like standing on a hill and walking perpendicular to the slope (instead of up or down the hill)- it won't make your calves grow
>>
>>35403797
tall skinny models eat like 1200kcal a day. try building muscles anywhere with that
>>
>>35403797
so that's what she looks like with clothes on

much better than the fucked up pancake tits from the fappening
>>
>>35403704
Legs and ass all the way
>>
>>35403856
I don't think they're supposed to make them grow, just supposed to make them look better because certain muscles are tensed. Not that I'd know.

Women build lower body strength faster than upper body strength, in general.

I'd say these 2 reasons:

- being short makes you have to stand on your tip toes more, so they are doing calf raises all day every day with whatever they are holding

- more fat storage in legs

that's really it, also a lot of men skip leg day which makes their small calves more noticeable due to their large upper bodies.

>>35403704
I'm a clavicle/shoulder and neck guy.

What is wrong with me?
>>
>>35403501

Dont know if this would be the case in turkey, but wearing high heels a lot causes large calves in women here

are u implying that a couple calf exercises during leg day can add mass to calves?
>>

I do. Thanks

Men and women have different bodies.
>>
cardio builds bigger calves than weightlifting
>>
>>35403501
I've only seen fat chicks with big calves so its probably from carrying more weight around on them all the time. Also being in heels with all that weight will have the calves working overtime.
>>
>>35408478
>in shape female
>would not fuck

confirmed for low test or fag
>>
>>35408478
That's because you're only seeing the top half of her calves you dimwit. My calves are skinny as fuck and they look thicker with long socks.
>>
I've noticed this as well. Pretty sure it's just fat. Combined with a fit body I think it looks hot.

>tfw friends with thin asian girl with a big ass and thick calves

Heels can only accentuate what's already there.
