Yeah, it's genetics. I'm a size 0 or 00 (and sometimes those are too big in certain stores), and I do not have a thigh gap. I think I could get one if I wanted to be really underweight and buy all my pants in the girls' department. I'm not interested in that, so I'll stick with my kissing thighs.0

Honestly, I Googled thigh gap and the results were... Alarming. There aren't a lot of people who have a thigh gap at a healthy weight.0 -

There are plenty of healthy weight women with thigh gaps and Why do you feel the need to shame women who do have a thigh gap? I have one and always had one at a variety of weights. My boyfriend shockingly is attracted to me and finds it attractive. I have an awesome butt and toned body and am at a healthy weight.
And shocker, but my whole goal in life isn't about who all I can be sexy for-My health and body type aren't for the enjoyment of others. I find it offensive you're literally reducing women to sex objects based off physical characteristics. Women are more than that!

My bad, I wasn't aware that pursuit of a thigh gap was a health-based goal. Here I was, thinking it was an appearance thing...0 -

Did you even read what I wrote? Where did I say it was a goal? I pointed out some people naturally have them and the photo you posted implying that all women with a thigh gap aren't sexy is what I have an issue with. Just because I have a thigh gap at a healthy weight doesn't mean my body is less sexy than someone with big thighs.

Yep--as long as I weigh less than 250 pounds, I will have a thigh gap. You either are built that way or you are not.0 -

It's arbitrary and stupid. I was 114 lbs. and on volleyball, stunt cheer and cross country and have never had a thigh gap. That's the bother with muscles. They fill up space.
Forget this stupid thigh gap garbage.0 -
Mine lasted all through pregnancy and a concurrent 40 lb weight gain. Yes, my hips are that wide. Totally genetic.0

I have a thigh gap but I didn't pursue it-it appeared after I lost almost 60lbs and got my bf% to around 22 percent/bmi in the 19 range (which is in the healthy range). I realize what you were trying to say, but your post is offensive to those of us who are at a healthy weight and have have one-it's not something I can control, it just came with the weight loss
And I don't look anything like the person in the picture sheesh. 0 -

It's one thing to have a thigh gap naturally, and a whole different story to seek it out like it's some magical prize. It's become some twisted thinspo holy grail.0 -

Is that top image a thigh gap or a girl who wants a gap.
I'm overweight and if my knees are slightly apart (2cm) I would have a gap as big as that.
Maybe it's because i am sitting down at the moment.0 -

Nothing, Don't care one bit about the thigh gap, I was referring to the photo above with the two photos
Its me saying the chunky thighs looks much better. Ie to achieve that eat some food and lift heavy weights.
Issue?

Nope, because its another fad that i have no care what so ever about and its stupid people and sheep on the internet and social media that make things out of nothing.
if its genetic then why do SO MANY people give a crap?
Its like saying which is better, Black or white skin.
WHO CARES. don't make a deal out of nothing
And yes i said eat some food and lift weights because chunky curvy thighs are way better then chicken legs

Right, it's like saying which is better, black or white skin, then you coming along and saying one of those options is 'ugly as'. Clearly you do give a crap as you felt the need to state your opinion so crassly.
Please stop telling women what to do with their bodies in order to appear hotter to you.0 -
I have "gained" a thigh gap since losing weight but it's made to look bigger than it really is because my knees (and elbows) hyper-extend slightly. I'd hate to think that automatically makes my legs look ugly.
Agree re: how annoying it is when things fall between your legs and you can't catch them!0 -
I have one, at this weight when sitting down - because I have big hips. I literally give it zero thought ever though, besides just now or when I have dropped cookies through it before. It serves me no purpose at all. No man (or woman, for that matter) has ever commented on it, or probably even noticed.0

I love these threads. Body shaming left and right.
Op asks a short question.
The world lights up on fire.
We have women asking men if this is a good goal. Wut? Are your esthetic goals predicated on what random men think?
No one seems to bat an eye.
And then a guy gives his own opinion and "oh,my good, body shaming, wah, wail, renting of clothes. Burn him."
The comparison picture on what is sexy and what isn't.
I'm just waiting for the inevitable "bones to dogs" and "real girls have curves" bingo spot.
Your body, your goals.

esp since most things young women do are to impress men...that is the reality of it...
