I am like that. But I have not worn a skirt shorter than below-the-knees in at least a decade. I generally do to the top of my knees on principle. (What princple, I'm not sure. But a principle of something.)
I do occasionally shave the top half, but we're talking like once a year.
(There are ways in which my calves are very nice and sturdy. There are also ways in which the muscles are permanently warped by serious horseback riding in my teens, and even if I wanted to deal with sitting and moving and bending down in short skirts - assuming I could find ones I liked in my size, which is a non-trivial question - I would still think my calves looked weird in them. So. Calf-length skirts, normally.)
