It's not just girls...

It's all to do with refraction, when light rays "bend" as they travel out of one substance and into another, e.g. going from water into air.

Your eyes see the bent light, and your brain calculates (wrongly) that the light has actually come from somewhere else than it really has (because it does not know that the light was bent and cannot compensate for it).

Why girls legs are sexeir then boys?

Guys are attracted to the legs more than likely because it is the part of the body that attaches to the butt. They are curvey and usually smooth. Girls wear shorter shorts and reveal more so guys are more accustomed to seeing legs than girls who at most see guys legs up to the knee. Not to mention they do not shave their legs.
