*OP was not a troll as suspected*
I meant no disrespect nor was my intent to "BODY SHAME" anyone.
As mentioned in the OP. : women on this site seem to STRIVE for the gap then followed by a why?
Just seeking some clarification to an idea that was foreign to me.
I do believe that the pursuit of the thigh gap via unhelathy eating habits(which is usually the case) is disturbing. If someone is geneticaly pre-disposed to have a gap, then deductive reasoning would infer that the initial post was not in any way directed to you or anyone in specific. However if you did find the initial post offensive,hurtful, or having had cause you discomfort, I do apologize.
Thanks. Have a wonderful day.
and as Sterling Archer would say: "Phrasing"

I think it had a lot to do with the word "Repulsive" in your OP. Nor did you clarify that those who are genetically prone to a thigh gap were exempt from your distaste!!
This new OP I agree - striving for a thigh gap by use of unhealthy methods is sad really!! Please dont lump Most women into this trend.
"women on this site seem to STRIVE for the gap...." It seems to be more of a trend with some of the younger girls (late teens/ younger 20's) - I do hope those who seek a thigh gap via unhealthy methods snap out of it quickly!!!0 -

Seriously, when the first post you ever make on the forums is about how lesbians aren't really gay, they just haven't been "forcibly made to reconsider" (your words) and you follow it up with the gem that you did about how women with thigh gaps are "repulsive"... expect people to think you're a douchecanoe. You want your apology to be taken seriously? Prove it. Stop posting repulsive crap.0 -

Below is your OP
["]In my OPINION, I find Thigh gaps repulsive.sick cry sad
It is extremely unattractive to me, and it looks unnatural. For some reason however women on this site strive for the gap. Why? Who finds this attractive? Fellas can you back me up on this one or is it me?
Also does this compare to men and "too much muscle" in a way?
Thoughts?[/"]
No where in that post does it say anything about the pursuit of thigh gaps being repulsive. Sure, you question why women on here seem to strive for one, but only because in your opinion it looks extremely unattractive and unnatural.
While your intent may have been to dissuade the unhealthy pursuit of thigh gaps, it was clumsy at best, and make no mistake, your result was in fact body shaming. And now you wonder why everyone doesn't pat you on the back because you "clarified what you meant"?
When I was 16 I tried to park my parents car in the garage. I backed up the driveway way too fast, hit the garage and did $6500 damage to the car and garage. Do you think I got a pat on the back that day?0 -

Well, I missed the previous drama you are referring to and actually have no idea what is going on here, but I'm going to venture a guess that you aren't as important as you think you are. :flowerforyou:0 -

What do you mean by 'again'?
I mean, I get that you have a family there... but you just implied that you "forced a lesbian to reconsider her sexuality" prior to having a family.
You know, I get it... you're not really a *kitten*... you're just not so good with the putting words together and having them make sense... amiright?

Articulating my thoughts is certainly not my forte'. I do believe I do a better job than most. Also,Iam doing this from my phone, at work, using swype so auto correct will add or replace where it deems fit.0 -
