I think it's a ridiculous metric to measure yourself with.

That's a really tame response coming from you LOL

I don't understand how you can be for or against something that is determined by your body structure? I have thigh gap starting at anything below 28-30% bf, I don't think that makes me better or worse than someone that never gets it.

Is it like the gap at the subway? If you fall in you're probably not coming out alive?

Who knows what lives in there? Best to just stay away.

Honestly, I could care less about it. I love it down there regardless

I'm pretty sure I'll never have a thigh gap. I've just always had bigger thighs, even when I was really skinny in high school. Genetics are just not on my side for that. Don't really care either.

It's a genetic bone structure thing. It's not something that can be achieved simply by dieting unless you have the genetic bone structure to have one. I'm neither for or against...I just wished people realized that it is genetics. It's sad to see young women using this often unobtainable metric.

Exactly - genetic. I say this because my mother ALWAYS b*tched about her 'ugly' legs. When I was growing up, she never wore shorts and pointed out she hated her legs. Well, I have her legs, granted more muscle, but I have a moderate gap and the lower my body fat is, the more it's there. I could not care less and I love my legs. I also have friends who lift who don't have it and they have great legs. Makes no difference from my perspective. I have to say though, it isn't always easy to put something in your lap though - it does go through.

Yes, it's there when I'm heavier too - just hidden a little more with excess thigh fat. All women on my mothers side have wide-set hips...I presume that is the reason. Never thought much about it.

I will never have one I was blessed with a thick bottom half. But I love my legs and work hard to keep them toned so I fee a thigh gap is sexy on some but not on me! Hope that makes sense.

can we get back to things that matter, like the bikini bridge?

i know some people who look for that gap - but I dont have any preferences either..... l like them all. Prefer them in yoga pants, but thats just me....

Lmao what is it with guys and yoga pants!!! lol I'm not complaining those are the most comfortable things to wear.

This thigh gap obsession reminds me of when I was younger and the big thing to obsess about was prominent collarbones or prominent hip bones.

I recall seeing them being promoted through the "thinspo" images in pro-ana or pro-mia blogs.

If you're not genetically predisposed to lose fat in those areas, there is the potential of self-harm in trying to achieve that look.

and.... they make us happy

I'm not for or against it. Most people will probably not achieve one, and I am sad for those who are literally trying to lose weight just to obtain one. But, if I get one, cool, if not, oh well. lol.

I would love to have a thigh gap as well....I hate my legs (and other body parts) with a hatred bordering on psychotic...I would love to not have to worry about starting a fire with the friction from my legs rubbing together....but as I'm a pear shape, I will wish in vain....it's a shame that some women/girls try to attain this dangerously without taking genetics into account.....
