Having long legs can be beneficial for certain types of plays. Players with longer legs often have an advantage in intercepting passes, extending their reach during tackles, and covering more ground quickly.
Longlegs has a mystery at its core, namely how it is that Cage's character has induced a string of fathers to murder their families and themselves—a killing spree all the more impressive because there's no evidence he laid a finger on any of his victims or even entered their homes.
“If two animals are identical except for leg length, the animal with longer legs is more efficient.” The fossil record shows that two million years ago, there was a big increase in leg length in early humans. Pontzer suggests that one reason for this increase could have been the energy saved by having longer legs.
Longer legs are an indicator of health, and one theory postulates that is one reason they are viewed as attractive. In general, it is advantageous to produce healthy offspring. If your mate is healthy, the odds of you producing healthy offspring are higher.
This is probably one of the reasons why long, straight, and slender legs are considered especially attractive. Our sense of aesthetic harmony is intensified by the blending of fragility, represented by thinness, and strength, represented by straightness.
A delightfully sinister throwback to the serial killer films of the 90s, Longlegs is unpredictable, foreboding, sometimes funny, and a richly textured horror experience with an incredibly moody aesthetic. If Osgood Perkins wasn't a filmmaker to watch then, he surely is now.
Body proportions can affect sports performance:
Long torsos and short legs are advantageous for swimming. Long legs short torsos are advantageous for running.
On this (latter) metric, the most attractive ratio of leg to body for men (as seen by American women) is 1:1, matching the 'four heads:four heads' ratio above. A Japanese study using the former metric found the same result for male attractiveness but women with longer legs than body were judged to be more attractive.

The team investigated a range of skeletal ratios, such as hip width to shoulder width, forearm length to height, and torso length to leg length. Limb and torso proportions were linked to distinct regions of the genome, suggesting that their development is controlled by separate genetic programs.
To make the results as accurate as possible they ask the rest of the crew to do the same jumping experiment. They discover that generally people with longer legs can jump furthest… but not always. This short film is from the BBC Teach series Experiments in controlled environments.
The next most appealing was an average leg length, or those that were 10% longer than normal. The scientists believe there are good evolutionary reasons for the preference. "Long legs are a sign of health," Pawlowski told New Scientist magazine.
Yes, black people have longer limbs in proportion to their bodies than any other race.
Women prefer a man with legs that are about half his height, according to previous research; scientists believe that is an evolutionary result of women wanting to choose only healthy men.

In our research, 3,103 participants from 27 nations rated the physical attractiveness of seven male and seven female silhouettes varying in LBR. We found that male and female silhouettes with short and excessively long legs were perceived as less attractive across all nations.
The daddy longlegs is actually a large type of cranefly, of which there are 94 species in the UK. It is familiar to us in its adult form as the gangly insect that flits around our homes in summer. As a larva, it is a grey grub (also known as a 'leatherjacket') that lives underground, feeding on plants stems and roots.
Having legs of unequal length creates an imbalance in posture and gait (the manner in which a person walks) that places stress on the low back and hip. This places stress on the lower back, hip, knee and ankle, which can lead to premature joint degeneration (osteoarthritis).
