    Possibly tmi, sorry in advance. Nice calves (and forearms) are absolutely my thing. I tend to look at both on men and only women’s calves, because I mainly look for a nice musculature/bulk. I have seen some lumberjanes who are exceptions, but that type of work creates a pretty extreme divergence from standard physiques.

    I used to do 15 hours of dance a week and now I walk everywhere and work on my feet, so my own calves are my favorite body part. My husband is a pretty big guy and he works as a butcher, so his forearms are huge- they look like Gaston’s from beauty and the beast and we call them his ham hocks.

    I wouldn’t say it’s a fetish, because I can definitely be attracted to someone without calves/forearms that appeal to me, but I find myself looking at them about as much as I look at faces and butts and more than anything else.
