1- Why Do We Cross Our Legs?
I wonder why do we tend to cross our legs?
I know it's a thing we socially learn, but it is sometimes comfortable to cross one's legs.

So, is there a scientific explanation for that?
And what determines weather a person feel comfortable to cross the right leg over the left or vice versa?




2- Leaning on one side of the body when standing up
I don't want to babble a lot, but I had some back and hip joint pain lately and I went to the doctor to do x-rays, and everthing was fine alhamdu lillaah except for that I have minor scoliosis. He said it could be congenital, or maybe I'm having a muscle tension that made the spine look like that in the x-rays.

I forgot to ask the doctor about an important thing that I have been doing for ages. When standing up, I feel comfortable to lean on one hip/leg.
The hip joints are fine in the x-rays. I have flat foot by the way.

So what are the potential reasons for that?
Is there a scientific term for this condition?


Thanks :)

-crossing's natural instinct I presume..
as for leaning on one side while standing... I guess it's just a habit.... it's like leaning your head on your arm or something similar... more comfortable perhaps and reduces the weight on your spine or whatever... dunno but I somehow have a similar habit.

I cross my legs 99% of the time.. and I don't lean on one leg.. I stand up straight because (no offense at all!) I find it very tacky.. :shy:

did u know when u cross ur legs that u will see more veins on ur leg and when theres veins there they wont go away and soo therefore if u want nice legs DONT CROSS UR LEGS

My legs are crossed now

I remember the teacher telling us that it stops the blood from reaching your legs or something. It's either she was telling the truth or lying in order to stop us from crossing our legs in class!

Stella that is wut im talkin about the VIEN thing lol

Thats why my legs are numb now

L0o0o0oL im sitting like a guy now one leg down and one up like a >>^<<

Like guys sit when they eat on the floor

eeee loool :D i love sitting like that

I only cross my legs when I sit on the floor, and when I sit on a chair, or standing near a wall or someting I like to lean back on it. When I'm sitting on a chair and cross one leg over the other, it sometimes gets numb and annoying.

Well I would not Advice Ladies crossing their Legs while sitting on the chair...

Why is that?

I rarely cross my legs.. I guess I never used to do it as a child so it feels uncomfortable doing it now.

you do know that when ladies cross their legs they dont rest their ankle on their knee like guys but instead rest one knee on the another right:mmhmm: ?!

as for me, i cross my legs 70% of the time.. i used to do this leaning on one leg thing alot in the past but now i just do it when im really tired!
