'thigh gap'?

I LOVE THE THIGH GAP! Big bonus points to girls that have it.
I'm well aware that all women can't get it, a lot of it comes down to genetics. You need the right bone structure and muscle tone to have a good thigh gap.
The same can be said for men that have the V and a 6 pack. A lot of it is genetics.0 -
I honestly couldn't care less. It's such an asinine thing to want to achieve in my opinion. The ways to obtain them are a) Genetic disposition and b) Getting unhealthily thin. Sure some women won't have them if they're overweight and carry a lot of it in the thighs and later develop one as they lose weight, but for the majority this won't be the case.
And besides, everyone has one when it matters.0 -
I don't have it and I will never have it. I work hard on my legs to get them to be sexy and muscular. The last thing I'd want are spindly little things just to achieve the fabled "gap".0

See my above inspirational photo of Krista Knee one of the Founders of Flirty girl fitness, she has the -perfect- body, (minus lack of boobs) that I am trying to achieve for myself, she has a thigh gap, and awesome biceps and a cute tummy with awesome abs.. so I am going for the thigh gap! *gasp*... I'll let you know in a year when I get there if the videos help, because I didn't have one before at a zero.0 -
I know! I mean, wayyyy back in the day women got mad because of the absence of self...now they all want it in places lol. I just wish someone would get the terminology of this insecurity down:the obsession of this small about of negative space is kind of facinating.
Thigh gap vs the chive vs mind the gap vs the triange...what does each one mean? Triange is the only one defined
What are the rest of the shapes? There's the () hole and the () hole with a triangle on top of that hole and another one where its a gigantic gaping triangle. Is there a difference? I'm so confused :noway: 0 -
Hip width? Holy cow how big are your fists?My mother tells of her Personal Hygiene class in school. The teacher told all of the girls that you know you're the right weight when you can fit your fist between your thighs.
Ah, gotta love 1950s classes, right?
What position are your feet in during this measurement? Are they together or hip width? This seems extreme even for those days. 0 -
This thread needs pictures. If you have this gap insecurity, which one is it specifying, the triange, or which one of the others??? So far I've found 4 kinds:
gigantic triangle:
giant oval:
Can't seem to find a pic, but it's when the thighs touch again at the top and there's no triangle.
Bottom oval and top triangle (thighs sometimes touch here):
Triange:
So triange has a name, do the others? So which is it that people are trying to get? :laugh:0 -

LOL I know that's all the guy sees. "Ow, I can see things from here and touch it without interference" I guess. There are way to many guys who are looking for thigh gap. I started having random conversations with the Software Engineers and was alarmed to find so many guys knew what it was and looked for it. So paranoyed people are staring at my crotch now. I wish I could hide it with my thighs nowI fixed your post. 0 -

No clue, but my mom said she had it. Of course, she weighed 98 pounds for most of her younger life, dropping down to 88 for a short time there. I'm an inch shorter and can't imagine being that tiny. Then, neither can she anymore. Three kids and 70 years took their toll on her, and she's a far healthier weight now.0 -

Ok, so who was actually testing to see if their fist would fit? I'm fairly certain that teachers have been brought up on charges in the recent past for this!0 -

I personally know I probably will never have one seeming I do not want to be skin and bones and that's the only way for me to achieve that look. I think that girls with more curves, are better looking and definitely more healthy looking. Plus I like my booty.0

I just don't want my thighs to rub together anymore :grumble: :noway:0

Some people are predisposed to be able to have thigh gaps at healthy weights. Some people are not. It really depends on your hips:

A thigh gap huh...in my day it was just called spreading your legs
the best kind of gap is one that is waiting to be filled ....0 -
Jumps up and down...I want one...for me, myself and I...look super sexy and hot when your thighs don't touch...many threads have had people say you can't get it..genetics...But I got a peek of one recently and I will continue to push for it...Just like anything else that's a big deal if that person wants.it..0

The amount of Thigh Gap threads is quickly overtaking those for HCG. Thankfully, there is a search feature that may allow you think before posting that which has already been determined and defined as only meaningful for where the zombies take their first bite.0

Most men prefer to create their own thigh gap between a woman's legs with either their hips or head.0

QFT...A thigh gap isn't that hard to achieve assuming you have a pulse and/or haven't gone into rigor mortis. Not that I condone certain actions with corpses.
PS: Where the hell does the notion that a thigh gap is desirable come from anyway? I've never sat around with a group of guys and said, "The only way I'll look at a woman is if she's got a gap between her thighs when her ankles are touching...."0 -

I also didn't know what a thigh gap was until I joined MFP. I was underweight once and I can't recall my thighs touching or not. All I really care about is my thighs not being jiggly.0

Hehehe, I'd love a thigh gap. Gotta be better than thighs that rub together hasn't it? I'd also love to not have cankles. Even when I've been slimmer I still had cankles. >:(0

I miss having a bit of a thigh gap, but really it's all dependent on your shape not your weight. That and perfecting the art of placing you feet *just* at the right angle to make it look like it's actually there...!
But yeah, it's so incredibly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things...0 -
I know I'll never have a thigh gap, my thighs have always been huge be it from fat or muscle but I would love a thigh gap just because I get chub rub so badly! I'd like my jeans to last me a while and not start a fire when my thighs are sweaty under a skirt. Aesthetically, I could care less, and I'm in no way working to get one, but if I magically happened to get one due to weight loss...I wouldn't complain.0

I love my wide hips but don't care about a thigh gap. I'll be sure to post pics in success stories one day because no one in real life gives a crap about this stuff.0
