>>154694368
The more you do it the more comfortable you get doing it. Same with slavs squatting.

>>154694368
They train from childhood, just like the slavs and chinks and all the other third-worlders who squat all the time.

Are people really unable to sit like this? I'm not particulary fit anymore, but when I did martial arts it was required to sit like this for extended periods of time. It stuck with me and still have no problems sitting like this or squatting for hours. Plus it looks more elegant then criss cross and aligns your back better.

>>154694368
If you have the ankle mobility and hip flexibility (like me) you can touch your ass to the top of your ankles and squat feet flat on the ground with no weight on the legs.

It takes a lot of flexibility training for most people, but in weightlifting it is something that most athletes are taught.

>>154694641
Squatting is fine for me, but i don't understand how people find this comfortable? Do i have sharp heels or are they really just used to it?

Your heels have to touch the ground.
If you leave your heels in the air it's not as comfortable. Takes more balance but you'll get used to it.
>>154694641
Try not sitting on your heels and let your legs flare to the side like pic related. I find that more comfortable.

The bones in Japanese (and slavic) people's hips are slightly different from the bones in most Caucasian's hips, which makes squatting for long periods of time less hard on them than it is for us.

Nip women probably have half of the weight pressing on their legs compared to a western guy.

>>154696384
What this is saying is that anyone who can not squat is bourgeoisie and probably nobility as well.

>>154694368
I thought slav memes were funny a few years ago so I started doing the squat all the time and now its really easy. I can almost rest with my heels on the ground.

Its less comfortable than sitting but it feels like a rest if you've been standing for a long time.

>>154696446
People somehow manage to find other things to ease their discomfort than squatting. Sitting for example, or leaning to a wall or not standing so much to begin with.

>>154696535
It feels good after standing because it kinda stretches out all your leg muscles. Leaning on the wall doesn't have the same effect. I mean if you don't like doing it that's fine by me I don't care.

Only problem is that in the US everybody thinks you're about to take a shit on the ground when you do it.

That's improper as fuck though.
Seiza is the japanese version of high culture posture. You only really use it as a formality but when you do it it needs to be done right.
In the west this means a straight back and chin up. In nipponland it means sitting on your bony ass heels and trying not to cry.

>>154694368
Humans are supposed to squat like that, you'll see babies and toddlers doing it all the time

Knowing more about knees now, I find it painful to look at girls who do that sort of kneeling pose where their lower legs are bent outwards so their lower leg is on the outside of their thigh.
Your knees are a joint meant to bend one way.

>>154697240
I'm >>154695909 and find it easier desu. Am I just fucking my joints up in the long run?

>>154697409
Your knees aren't supposed to bend like that, it's putting stress on the joint.

I can't deny that people have different bodies and some can bend and contort in ways others can't but I don't think consistently putting your knees like that is good in the long run.

>>154697658
Have you seen dem nip knees?
They're all fucking bent inward from all the sitting and diet rich with rice.
We call them X knees here because how they look like.

>>154700026
>crow's squawking can be very zen too after one gets used to it.
I have 4.5mm airgun, if I walk through the forest and stimulate the birds - can it be considered Zen?
>If all birds are dead, chances are you will be soon as well.
What if I overdid it with the stimulation?

I find it more jarring that so many can sit with their legs crossed on a flat floor for hours and hours (though for some only when using a kotatsu)

I probably sit with my legs crossed more than most but on a chair or a bed and not for hours at a time

>>154700152
It can be considered Zen, and if someone sees you the government might even reward you with your very own meditation room with bars.

I wish this was an option for western toilets. Squaty Potty just isn't the same as a natural squat poop.

Now I feel gay. Guess I'm gonna suck it up and sit on my feet then.

How do you even do a western squat?
I lose my balance trying to do a squat on my tippie toes, I'm impressed people can do it that way.

>squatting on their toes
fucking gopnik squat, get on my level

>>154694587
I'm a slav and the only thing I can say is that it's comfortable, especially if you sit on your heels. You have to have good balance though. The slav population has about 2% Asian genetics, so maybe we gave them the ability to squat.

makes sense for dress wearers

On toes isn't a gopnik squad, debil.
That is called western spy squat

Been sitting like this since I was a little kid, I thought it was really comfortable.

White people come to America hundreds of years ago, they consider themselves natives of the land now. They brought an even greater number of black people along as slaves with them at the same time but don't consider them native to the land and don't understand why there are so many of them.

Wait, what the fuck? Can people really not do a normal squat? I just tried it a couple seconds ago, it feels as easy as taking a breath.

I'm scottish-dutch with direct male lineage to the leader of a native american tribe leader from the 1600's.

What the fuck is wrong with me?

>>154713227
>direct male lineage to the leader of a native american tribe
So you actually was chieftains and shit?

>>154713289
Nah but apparently it was his bastard son who became the servant of a wealthy polish farming family and eventually married in or something under their name. My dad is obsessed with this shit.

>sitting

i have spent the last 17 years of my life standing, except when it was socially unacceptable to do so (business meetings, etc)

i even have an upright bed so that i can sleep whilst standing

sitfags will never understand

Hey, it's my dads obsession, not mine. He does look pretty native american though, he's got that cheekbone and nose thing going on.
