Agreed. Some people have them, others don't. Depends on where you carry weight and the width of your hips. At my current weight I have one sitting but not standing, nowhere near! It's really not a big deal anyway. There are no Thigh-Gap-Enforcement-Police.0 -
My modeling career is just taking of I will be auditing to be a Victoria secret model next year. My manager has mentioned he wants me to shred a few pounds and tone my legs. When I was like 10-12 I engaged in sprinting which has built up muscular legs. I need to get rid of them or... I lose my contract0

Sounds like you want to get yourself down to single digit body fat for this audition. Unfortunately, there isn’t a healthy way to cut down that far quickly. You may want to look up “cutting” on bodybuilding sites. There are several strategies for cutting fat and water, but it takes extreme discipline and critical timing. People can’t stay that way day in and day out.0

To tone your legs you just need to lose body fat..that won't necessarily get you a thigh gap though.0

You want to tone but you also want to get rid of the muscles? I'm having a bit of an issue understanding how those two will go together. Either way the only way they are getting smaller is if you drop weight. Cutting as mentioned above might be your best bet but that focuses on keeping muscle while losing fat.0

genetics
wishing for a thigh gap is like wishing for a forearm of a certain length .. if you aren't supposed to have one you won't unless you get down to a disgustingly low body fat in which case no company should employ you anyway0 -

extreme surgery?
there is no healthy way- unless you naturally have one and currently are to obese to see it. In which case- calorie deficit combined with a general fitness plan that includes cardiovascular work and strength training.
What's the drive for a thigh gap is my more pressing concern???0 -
I have one - i could sell it to you?
Its genetic rather than hard work. But I do lots of squats, lunges, spin classes, cycling, walking etc.0 -
Unfortunately, if you are a healthy weight and don't have a thigh gap genetics does not give you the ability to get one in a healthy mannor (thigh gaps are more a result of wide hips than skinny thighs in the people who have them)
You might see some success if you eat at a slight deficit and try to lose some weight?
Wish you the best in your modeling career, it is a very tough industry to work in.
Edited to add: I know there are slimming wraps people use/sell. They give temporary results (as in a day or two), but in your case where you want to spot reduce for a specific purpose (an audition or shoot) maybe it would have some value? I always hear about them for your stomach area, not sure if there is somehting out there for thighs?0 -
Don't worry, Victoria Secret has a top notch advertising department. They can Photoshop one onto you.
It's definitely all genetic, because I have 41 inch hips and wear a size 8, and I have a thigh gap. Never asked for it, it just showed up.0 -
Eat tissues like your future coworkers do0

I wonder if this interest in a thigh gap is an age thing. I'm 5 years older than you and I literally didn't know what one was until a year ago - it was never a thing I was even aware of, much less envied, in my teenage years. I'm sure there was an equally silly 'in-thing' girls were after in 2010, but this one always confuses me.0 -

I remember the "good old days" 25+ years ago when Victoria's Secrets models had real curves (Tyra Banks, et al.) and weren't skinny teen-agers. Once you start talking about getting rid of muscle you're already heading down a slippery slope.

Oh I haven't seen a thigh gap thread in awhile.0

And honestly, a 2 year stint in sprinting at just barely puberty will unlikely result in muscular legs. Lots of females discount genetics as the reason why their legs are bigger and you can't change your genetics.
