The REAL leg percentage calculation

[Admin]

Do YOU have long/average/short legs?

Ok, so statistically:

An average leg has an inseam that represents 45% of the height.

You measure inseam, bit standing, with no socks, or shoes, and measure from your crotch to the floor. (nr 5 in the pic)

I'm 163 cm in height.

my inseam is 75 cm.

You calculate it by going:

inseam (cm)

___________ x 100

height (cm)

mine works out to 46%

Which sounds about right, as my legs appear average. The other thread had a very error-prone way of measuring, and people measured all over the place, even up to their waists. By that thread everyone appeared long legged (even me, and I know my legs are not long)....suspicious . I think this one can't be faked.

What's yours?

so I got... 90/180x100 = 50

where do long legs start, anyway?

50% is definitely long. I compared with about 6-7 friends and they all ranged 45-48% :D

[Guest yoosufan]

My inseam is 74cm..

74/167x100 = 44%

Hmm I always knew my legs were on the short side.

[Guest PDURRR]

80/167.64 x 100 = 47.9

i'm around the average i suppose.

[Guest myego]

44,9%

Just about the average

Thanks, by the way ;)

[Guest sojuiicy]

Mine is 41.9% LOL makes sense though, I'm only 5'0.

[Guest vanessa1988]

im 47%

that's good right?

my legs do looks long, just wish they were a bit longer....

[Guest missavvy]

i got 77/164 = 47%

yay for normal! lol. i always thot i was taller tho... 164 cm only works out to about 5'4.. but i thought i was 5'6.. :S weird. maybe my measuring is off. :S

[Guest doraemon555]

86/165x100= 52%. thats ok. right?

[Guest Redwarrior]

73/163 * 100 = 44.785%

I guess I'm average??

[vandalize]

I'm 5 feet exactly and my inseam is 27 inches.

45%

But for such a short person, I always thought my legs were longer than average, cause with my friend who is 5'2", our legs are the same length.

For an Asian, definitely on the long side cause if you look at me from far away people think I'm tall ._."

but I'm nott!

So if you're short and you have the "average" leg:body ratio. In pictures, you look taller than you are.

Like this girl before I met her, I thought she would be around 5'5" cause she looked like she would be tall in her pictures...but she was the same height as me <_<

[Guest EHNerJI]

Mine turned out to be about 51%.

Yeah, I agree this is slightly more accurate, haha.

[Guest LiIy]

Do you measure it standing? Or while sitting? And if it's standing, how far apart should your feet be?

I've gotten between 47% and 53%, and I don't think my legs can randomly grow and shrink over such a short period of time.

[Guest Redwarrior]

^ it depends on when you measure. I think we grow a bit at night so you would be slightly taller in the morning than at night hope that's correct (heard it a long time ago) I'm so happy that I'm average...my mom's always complaining that my legs are too short and I should do something about it. (but when i get measured for dance, my teachers are always like: WHOA, you have a long torso). I guess it's because my legs are chubby and muscular that I look shorter than I should look?

[Guest _YooMi]

46% im 156 ish

D: makes sense, im a shorty :)

[Guest Weri]

wow thanks for this! I knew there was something wrong with the other thread, since most people there had long legs which really surprised me since asians usually have short/average legs.

[Guest forevernever]

82/170 * 100 = 48%

Sounds about right (: People always say that I have long legs, but I guess that's cause I'm tall.

[Guest filosophy-]

77/163x100 = 47.2%

Average. :)
