Is it just me or are biological male knees more "boney" and point out.

Well I think it depends on the person relay because at least to me everyone's looks largely the same

I am no expert but I think that because of the extra body fat women have in their lower bodies, the bones don't stick out as much.

Here is a link to an orthopedist's web site on the difference between men's and women's knees. http://www.ronaldwhitemd.com/ppt_13.asp

The differences tend to be that a woman's knee is at a more acute angle, the kneecap is smaller and less wide. This of course will vary from person to person and overall frame size prob has a lot to do with it.

Alexis I wouldn't worry about your knees too much nobody cares about that. We spend way too much time focusing on things that nobody cares about but us.

hmm that makes me wonder even more if I may be Inter-sexual. I have always been embarrassed about how much smaller my knees elbows and wrists are then most men my height.

My 2 year younger sister and I have pretty much the exact same legs and knees, last summer we were sitting together both wearing shorts and now that my legs are silky smooth I couldn't help but notice we have he same freckles, skin tone and shape...we both got a kick out of that

my feet are a bit bigger than hers of course.

Actually that interpretation is wrong, I think. Going by the drawing on the website, kneecaps aren't all that different; what's outlined is that the "cushion" behind the kneecap is thinner, leading to a kneecap that would stand out a bit less. Going by this drawing only, overall size doesn't change apart from that. Knees might just appear a bit smaller because they lean more in the inside. Of course since women generally have a smaller frames than men, it sounds likely that knees follow, but for the same size, that should be it.

Now if there's additional info NOT depicted there, I'm sorry. I might have massively misunderstood, too, but. Well, I hope not.

I don't think my knees have ever gotten me clocked, and I wear shorts all the time in the summer.
