calf compliments

So by now anyone who's seen and read my profile and read my responses to forums will see that most are those that discuss calf muscles, especially women's calves. Now I must confess that I find shapely muscular calves on a woman very attractive. But another confession I must make which might leave the ladies and some guys thinking, what a weirdo, is that I have a habit of approaching women with shapely, muscular calves and complimenting them. Surprisingly most of them, approximately 98% actually appreciate the compliments and a few appreciate it so much that they even flex their calves for me. I must admit that always surprises me.
Anyway, my question is for the ladies with shapely muscualr calves, big or small. Do you ever get complimented on your calves by random strangers (especially men) when you're out and about? How do you feel when it happens? Do you think it's weird for men to compliment women on their calves?

It wasn't a random stranger that complimented my very muscular legs/calves it is people I work with. I was complimented on them just last week and I giggled a little inside. I had no idea that was 1) something someone could notice and 2) something someone even looked at. I have more appreciation for my leg tone now that is for sure.0

Hey, I have REALLY muscular calves. I always have. They are not a product of exercise - they are a product of genes. I find it very difficult to wear skinny jeans, because even though they fit well around my thighs and hips and waist, they're often not big enough to accommodate my calves. They are solid muscle! You see those skinnies I'm wearing in my profile pic? Yeah, I can't wear them any more because the SEAMS HAVE SPLIT around my calves!!
I've never, ever received a compliment on my calves. I absolutely hate them. I've always strived to have long, lean, beautiful calves like all the skinny girls. But it's never going to happen. So if you could compliment me, that would be amazing, LOL0 -
I'm the same as you, I have the same problem with skinny jeans too and I'm also not really a fan of it!Hey, I have REALLY muscular calves. I always have.

I looked at your profile and I didn't see any photos of your calves. If you have any post them and I'll have the compliment waiting specially for you.1 -
Come on ladies. I know there are a lot of you out there who've gotten compliments on your calves. I'd love to hear what was said and what you thought of it. And please I'd really like to know if you think it's weird for men to compliment women on their calves. And fizzletto, I'm still waiting for the photos so you can get your long overdue compliment.0

I was told by a guy (casual acquaintance) that I should always wear skirts because I have legs that men see and imagine in fishnets and stillettos. I loved that compliment. My legs are strong and curvy!!!!0

Sorry, not going to happen, very embarrassed of them!0 -
<<< Muscular calf.
I've had several guys at the gym ask me what I do to get calves like that...0 -

By the way, in case it isn't readily apparent, I'm a woman, LOL!0 -
I get compliments regarding my legs and calves all the time by strangers, co-workers and in-laws.:happy:0

Okay, I exaggerated a bit there with 98%. I think the figure is closer to 90%, which I guess is still quite a lot. Just this weekend I complimented a women at the store who not only flexed her calves for me, but even said I could touch them. I did and I must admit even I felt a bit weird, although I wasn't complaining.0 -

Wow. Your calves are quite muscular. Are you flexing your calf in your profile photo? The muscle definition is quite impressive. Got any more photos?0 -
This thread Rocks!0

I was complimented on my calves today by a stranger I walked past, they said oh hi I was just admiring your calves there lovely. I was a bit shocked and just thank you and we kept walking opposite ways. Was nice a compliment is always nice .x0

You and me both. Man making a habit of commenting on the bodies of women who are strangers, thinking it's OK because he perceives that "90% of them like it"? Um, no.
I'd say "that's so 2013", since the thread's that old, but I think it was crass behavior even then.3 -

Agreed. I do not like weird compliments from random strangers, and yet I used to laugh and smile whenever I got them, in an effort to try to diffuse the tension and hide the deep discomfort I was feeling. I'm trying to get over this, because I don't want to send the message that this behavior is appropriate or appreciated.

Yeah, this.
I wish people would keep their words to themselves when it comes to my body. It's creepy.
However - some people are going for just that. Creepy.
I have to say, this is one of the best things about getting older. Those type compliments are now usually just from female close friends. It still makes me squirm, but there's usually no hidden agenda.
