    So yesterday was looking at jeans on the net, major stores, and all the inseams on woman's and missy jeans are 34".

    So I wonder, if woman have shorter legs, why do they make all the jeans with 34" inseams???????????????????????????
    Brianna, Genetically, a woman's legs will be longer than a man of the same height. The man has a longer torso and shorter legs. The woman is the opposite.

    I learned this years ago when taking medical level anatomy and physiology. I had this confirmed when I worked at New York & Co. My inseam length at 5'9" is about 31-1/2. A woman at 5'9" will have an inseam of about 33" with flat shoes. The longer length is to allow the woman to have the proper length when in 4" heels.

    couple side notes

    Pat of "it's Pat" on S.N.L. was played by a GG. You'd never think: Pat if you saw her in everyday woman mode.

    Dress sizes: sometimes see a size 10 dress that is cut in a way that DOESN'T fit. Cut in too much across the ribs & belly area. The size isn't a guarantee.

    leg lengths

    I think you're talking on average. I have long legs in addition to the male torso. & I can think of a TS girl who has looooong legs, you'd swear she'd done time on a rack ( ancient torture device ).

    This is the opposite from what I learned, men have larger leg to torso ratios than women. People mistake women having longer legs because women's waists for clothing sits about 2 inches higher than men's clothing waists due to women's higher fat deposits giving the illusion that women are leggier.

    Read process of growth section here

    Just ask women, they will tell you men have the longer leg ratios. Of course there is plenty of overlap between the genders. Men's stride length is usually considerably longer than a woman's too which is a easy give-away sign.

    I think that would have to do with style... and heels

    I just did a quick Google. Jeans are listed in number sizes - 6-7-8-9 etc. They are also listed as Small, Small+, Medium, Medium+, Long, etc. A 34" inseam was a Long. Some sites call a 34" inseam Tall.

    I also asked my mom. Her inseam is 27".
