    It's another thing women think makes them hot, but men don't care about.

    It's something I never realized the lack of was holding me back in life, until MFP.

    Ha! My sentiments exactly!

    This is a hot button issue, and it bugs me because even though I have great hips and a nice shape, the way my legs are, I won't have "thigh gap" unless I'm underweight.

    I hate how it is perpetuated as a universally achievable goal, when some women just won't be able to get one while being healthy. Love the body you have!

    Love this! I love my thighs. Its all about feeling good about YOU! Thigh gap or not, or what guys think. Im not trying to improve my physical appeal for anyone but me! Any extras are just a bonus!

    I believe it is the practice of young women using various methods to widen their vaginas in order to achieve a gap between their thighs (which is then used to advertise aforementioned wide vagina)

    Correct if wrong

    It is SO much easier to just spread your legs! Just saying...

    Surely a thigh gap would be at least, if not more, dependant on the width of your hips than the size of your thighs.

    Oh, and the definition seems to have become more extreme over the decades. I remember being praised for having three gaps between my legs at JHS (according to one of the prettiest girls in school, this was the ideal), but now girls seem to want their legs to only touch at the ankle/knee (depending on shape of legs.

    As for terms you hoped were sexual, but weren't: sammich. I kept hoping this was so etching smuttier than just a sandwich, as it seems to be American males' only desire...

    If they want a gap between their legs when they are standing, then they can just stand with their feet further apart. Easy Peasy.

    Thigh gaps are very much dependent on your pelvic bone structure. Girls who starve themselves to get a thigh gap are fools, but it's literally impossible for some women to achieve.

    This.
    I think it's important to keep that in mind. A lot of girls starve to get this, but it all depends on your pelvic bone structure. Some will never achieve it because their body is just not build for that.
    I strive for a thigh gap. I would ADORE it. But I try to keep in mind that it can be impossible and I think I'm in that category.

    The term "sammich" definitely has sexual connotation in my vocabulary.

    CAKE!

    IS THAT NUTELLA SHE'S HOLDING. LEMME AT IT!!!

    Yum Nutella!!!

    I think a thigh gap has a lot to do with wide tussy and little fat on inner thigh. Not something I ever have cared if I have or if I didn't. I have one, but don't care. And you don't have to be thin or have little fat to have one. I just happen to carry most my weight waist line and up.

    have i gotten that old that i dont know dirty lingo???

    Lol! No when you see it mentioned just move along it's sort of silly.

    Not to minimize people with natural gaps (raises hand) because it can be a good indication that one is gaining weight when the thighs touch. But anyway that is about all this topic is about. Not everyone has one (apparently it's genetic) so it's like a tooth gap you either have one or you don't.

    It's just another way that women have found to obsess about the smallest "imperfection" in thier body. Genetically I will never have a thigh gap and it doesn't bother me. We shouldn't try to force our bodies to be a way that it's not meant to be. The perfection is sometimes in the imperfection.

    Ain't nothing wrong with a thigh gap, long as you have the right body type. Girls with real wide hips and kinda skinny can make it work.

    The problem is, there's all these girls with narrow hips starving themselves to get a thigh gap. Narrow legs + insane, unwarranted want for the elusive "thigh gap" = anorexia. ew.

    Yeah. Cause I'm also supposed to hate my... Ahem... Hip Dip? What kid of madness is this?!!?! Who ever heard of this?

    Then I was told I need to work on my... Ahem... Saddle Bags? What am I? A HORSE?

    This whole thing is maddening. I found this pic online. Cant' read it worth crap, but the X-Ray says it all about genetic thigh gaps.

    I don't get the obsession with thigh gaps. I have a tiny one (maybe less than a cm) and hope it doesn't get any bigger. It just means my hips are kind of wide.
