Ah, this must be the explanation.

Maybe that’s the point? Nobody with bare legs is going to match perfectly, unlike someone wearing a burqa?

I can’t promise that that was not already suggested by one of the 274 commenters on that site, but I did read this thread completely.

Wait, I’m I the only one who thinks the burqa lady is calling the “sexy” lady a slut? Her legs are never together so they aren’t a matching set…like they don’t match each other cuz they’re always apart… or something like that… I don’t know, poorly worded, apparently impossible to explain in a logical manner, but that’s the impression I’m getting from it. Clearly form Sexy’s face, it’s supposed to be an insult.
