I was delighted to see the new "be seated" pose sets. For the bigger part, they look okay, (these for men look somehow better, but that's maybe because I prefer rendering men). But those where the figures have their legs crossed look a bit off. The angle of the crossed leg doesn't look right. Really, try to sit like this, and you are prone to getting cramps soon.
Nothing you can't change yourself, just a bit more work. I will certainly buy thes pose sets, this is merely an observation.

Normally, the tip of the toes (and the foot/lower leg) is pointing towards the person you are talking to/are focussed on. If you take the pose as a starting point, you'd unbend the one leg and adjust it to "communicate"...
But I agree, as a pose in itself, it can get really cramped to sit like that.
I hurt myself trying to recreate the crossed legs poses in the female product. Very ouch.
I can ok.. does that mean I'm special?
Like a snowflake, Jack, like a snowflake


Dang, I must be a snowflake too, they don't look too bad to me.
Getting older, gotta remember your exercise and to stretch!
I think some of us prefer to put the lower leg forward, not backwards...
But like I said, the pose is an excellent starting point, for all you need to do is bend the lower leg a bit, and that I'd have to do anyway if I pose a conversation.
