    No such thing as normal, WTF is up with you calling an athletic woman anorexic, do you know her personally or something? You ain't frigging right in the head.

    and yes, as a personal trainer, the only way to get a thigh gap is to become an anorexic, cardioholic, mess which will destroy you

    ... and know that even the size 12 model is not normal here with a leg length at 89% of her body. OOOPPs, Marie Claire forgot to mention that in their suvey.... http://mathspig.wordpress.com/tag/how-womens-magazines-distort-womens-bodies/

    some women naturally have shorter waists which means they have long legs usually. for instance i'm 65" total and 40" of that is from the top of my hip to the bottom of my feet. my legs are longer even than some women who are 4" taller than me.
    can i borrow some of your legs? i'm 64" and my legs are only 28"!
    well, my inseam in 28". but still! when i sit down next to my boyfriend who's 7 inches taller than me, i'm only an inch or two shorter. it's kinda ridiculous.

    All I can say is that this statement makes a mockery of women who naturally have longer legs to upper body. I am 72" tall where 62% of my total are legs. My older sister is 70" tall where her legs are 64.1% of her body. 11% as stated by the OP for the upper torso is ridiculous.

    Edit: I agree with the 2 posters who'd replied to the OP, as quoted.

    Lol I really don't think anyone notices those things unless they are really extreme. I'm only 5'4" and my legs are 39" long so about 60% of my body too. I really don't think my legs look all that proportionally long though. And to tell you the truth I don't know if that actually is considered long. I'm thinking that might be fairly average.

    Regarding the thread, according to the OP I'm also not "normal" ah well I already knew that :)

    You bring out some good points... Concentration camps do not make good looking bodies. There is a wide variety of female bodies that are appealing... Thigh gaps are largely a function of frame size and how far apart the legs are set in the skeleton. To me, the few times I have actually seen them... I did not find them appealing. I personally like the athletic to near athletic builds but not too much so... It is all things in proper balance. More is not always better.

    So stop trying to starve yourself for thin thighs, because you will lose your T and A before those go anyway

    Coach Teresa
    "I practice what I teach, and am at 15% overall body fat. As of Sept. 22, 2012, in fat burning mode to cut more fat off of my thighs"

    Oh, really. But Teresa, the only way to get thin thighs or a thigh gap is to become an anorexic mess. I heard it from a "coach" online.

    lol well, people notice when i'm sitting down next to my nearly 6' tall boyfriend and then i stand up and only come to his chest!
    i don't desire to be particularly leggy (although i wouldn't complain- it would probably make me a more graceful dancer and a faster runner), but it would be nice to be able to wear jeans that don't get destroyed from dragging on the ground, even when they're short and to not have to run to keep up with boyfriend!
    but at least i'm normal by op's standards, with my legs coming in at about 45% of my body. :|

    skinnymusic you aren't normal if you have an eating disorder.
    You may be acting irrationally for a rational reason but it is not normal to starve/binge/purge - which is why it is disordered and why people need treatment so that they can learn how to have a "normal" relationship with food.
    (From a girl that has had an eating disorder)

    But to the OP - I see you trollin'


    THIS. SO MUCH THIS. (Also from a girl who is in active recovery from an eating disorder).

    Oops my legs are actually 65.3% of my body. Abnormal - Yes and No! Being taller with more leg presents its own challenges, where your judgement@OP, failed to consider genetics. Senseless and Insensitive. I am always cautious with shorter women. My mum is a petite 5ft 3 with with the so called ideal breast to waist to hip ratio. 36-24-36 and is 64 years old. I know she always wanted my legs and my shape, just as I'd favoured my sister's body type - My mum's body with longer legs. Granted, I'm longer than her, it's just too drastic when I'm NOT endowed and am too compact(breast/buttocks)@Full B cup with a womanly flair to my hips and not a straight toothpick as you've chosen to describe women who fall under my natural body type or that we may be suffering from an allusion presented by you to BDD or Anorexia. MOST UNFAIR. I could critique your body severely - but I would never stoop that low, understanding the limitations of YOUR GENETICS. You cannot change YOU, just as YOU CANNOT dictate someone else's potential body type/ideal.

    Edit: **sp critique
