Watch Guys Explain Why They Can't Keep Their Legs Closed

Watch Guys Explain Why They Can't Keep Their Legs Closed

‘Manspreading’: making planes, movie theaters, and office meetings everywhere uncomfortable for more than 300 years

We've all witnessed it: A guy sits next to you at the movies or on an airplane and proceeds to take more than his share of the leg space. Gothamist decided to ask dudes why the heck they can't keep their knees to themselves and insist on engaging in what the site calls, "manspreading." Despite the obvious anatomical answer, most of the guys interviewed for Gothamist's video (all of whom were riding New York City subway trains) didn't even mention the word "testicles." 

In fact, most of the guys said they generally try to avoid manspreading—and some even said they were annoyed by the phenomenon. "I've been the victim of manspreading," said one of the men interviewed in the video. Another man gave his explanation as to why so many guys spread 'em while seated: "We have no choice to have our legs like that, you know what I mean? It’s different for a woman."

Despite needing to leave room for their family jewels, a couple of the guys said that they would gladly "constrict" the width of their knees to accommodate other subway riders, which we hope is actually true.  And fun fact: According to the guys interviewed, the acceptable amount of spread for a man can range from six and a half inches to 18. 

Check out the video below to hear some of their hilarious explanations of the term "manspreading."
