Guys with small calves

I was actually inspired to start this topic by allifantastical who has a post called "girls with man calves". As you can probably tell form the title, this topic is dedicated to guys like myself who have small calves. It's very interesting to think that while we have women with big muscular calves looking for ways to slim them down, we have on the opposite end of the scale guys like me who have small calves looking for ways make them bigger. Unfortunately for me, my small calves are mostly due to genetics, and I've been told that while they will become more muscular and more defined as I train, they'll probably never grow beyond where they are now. It kind of hurts to hear that I must admit but as a result I'm slowly but surely learning to accept them. The upside is that they're quite muscular from years of running, cycling and weight lifting. I just wish they could get bigger.

But If some scientist out there makes some sort of a breakthrough and discovers an exercise or something that can help guys with genetically small calves bulk them up, I'm all for it. But until then, I'm just going to have to learn to accept my small, but muscular, well defined calves. I never wear shorts when I go out (even on hot summer days) because I get very envious when I see people (especially women) with big muscular calves. I only wear them when I run because I'm a relatively fast runner and I usually run quite quickly past people so they never really get a clear view of my legs. I never, ever wear them to the gym, even when I run on the treadmill. Even at races when I finish I immediately run to the car and change into long pants.

Any other guys here have the same problem? Do you wish you could trade your small calves for larger ones, or are you satisfied with them? Do you have a wife or a girlfriend whose calves are bigger and more muscular than yours, and if so how do you feel about it? My girlfriend's calves are about 18" compared my 12" to 13" and they're all muscle and hard as rock (actually no, scratch that, hard as steel), and as much as I love them and think they're absolutely sexy, I do envy her. And she loves to wear shorts, especially ones that are knee length because she says she loves the way her calves look in them. I love the way they look in those shorts too but damn I'm so jealous. She also runs and cycles and does a bit weight training but nothing hard core. Her calves are also mostly genetic.

If anyone has any tips or suggestions on how to grow genetically small calves, I'd greatly appreciate it. Any tips from the ladies will also be much appreciated too..
