Problems with "man"-spreading

[u/FX114]

I find it hard to keep my legs closed, and it sometimes makes me dysphoric. I don't know if it's something about my hips, my thick thighs, or the fact that I don't tuck, but it's genuinely uncomfortable to not sit with my legs in their natural, splayed position, and I know it doesn't look feminine at all. Plus, it's actually inconvenient in certain situations.

Tucking shouldn’t matter for your leg position if you are doing it right, though if you do tuck properly you can spread without showing.

The cross ability of your hips is directly related to your hip thigh fat distribution. People talk about it being a bone thing. It’s a fat thing. At 3 years my fat has moved from inner to outer thighs and I can cross fairly easily. Yoga hip stretching helps too.
