Honestly, I Googled thigh gap and the results were... Alarming. There aren't a lot of people who have a thigh gap at a healthy weight.
There are plenty of healthy weight women with thigh gaps and Why do you feel the need to shame women who do have a thigh gap? I have one and always had one at a variety of weights. My boyfriend shockingly is attracted to me and finds it attractive. I have an awesome butt and toned body and am at a healthy weight.
And shocker, but my whole goal in life isn't about who all I can be sexy for-My health and body type aren't for the enjoyment of others. I find it offensive you're literally reducing women to sex objects based off physical characteristics. Women are more than that!
My bad, I wasn't aware that pursuit of a thigh gap was a health-based goal. Here I was, thinking it was an appearance thing...
I have a thigh gap but I didn't pursue it-it appeared after I lost almost 60lbs and got my bf% to around 22 percent/bmi in the 19 range (which is in the healthy range). I realize what you were trying to say, but your post is offensive to those of us who are at a healthy weight and have have one-it's not something I can control, it just came with the weight loss
And I don't look anything like the person in the picture sheesh. 0 -

It's one thing to have a thigh gap naturally, and a whole different story to seek it out like it's some magical prize. It's become some twisted thinspo holy grail.0 -

Is that top image a thigh gap or a girl who wants a gap.
I'm overweight and if my knees are slightly apart (2cm) I would have a gap as big as that.
Maybe it's because i am sitting down at the moment.0 -

Nothing, Don't care one bit about the thigh gap, I was referring to the photo above with the two photos
Its me saying the chunky thighs looks much better. Ie to achieve that eat some food and lift heavy weights.
Issue?

Its like saying which is better, Black or white skin.
WHO CARES. don't make a deal out of nothing
And yes i said eat some food and lift weights because chunky curvy thighs are way better then chicken legs

Right, it's like saying which is better, black or white skin, then you coming along and saying one of those options is 'ugly as'. Clearly you do give a crap as you felt the need to state your opinion so crassly.
Please stop telling women what to do with their bodies in order to appear hotter to you.0 -
I have "gained" a thigh gap since losing weight but it's made to look bigger than it really is because my knees (and elbows) hyper-extend slightly. I'd hate to think that automatically makes my legs look ugly.
Agree re: how annoying it is when things fall between your legs and you can't catch them!0 -
I have one, at this weight when sitting down - because I have big hips. I literally give it zero thought ever though, besides just now or when I have dropped cookies through it before. It serves me no purpose at all. No man (or woman, for that matter) has ever commented on it, or probably even noticed.0

I love these threads. Body shaming left and right.
Op asks a short question.
The world lights up on fire.
We have women asking men if this is a good goal. Wut? Are your esthetic goals predicated on what random men think?
No one seems to bat an eye.
And then a guy gives his own opinion and "oh,my good, body shaming, wah, wail, renting of clothes. Burn him."
The comparison picture on what is sexy and what isn't.
I'm just waiting for the inevitable "bones to dogs" and "real girls have curves" bingo spot.
Your body, your goals.

esp since most things young women do are to impress men...that is the reality of it...

You, apparently, give a crap.
With regards to whether men like it or not, it may not be as common a desire as things like big boobs and small waists, but there are a lot of men out there who really like thigh gaps. Just like there are boob guys, bum guys, leg guys, there are thigh gap guys. It's just a less common thing to like, but there are plenty guys who do. There are Internet communities dedicated to it. But of course for ever guy that loves it there'll be one that hates it, and even more than don't care.
Like just about any body ideal, there are guys that will like it, guys that won't, guys that won't care, and girls that will be able to get it and girls that won't. And there will be people that will put forward their preferred body image as being the One True Body that all women should strive for.0 -

I hear on the interwebs there is a bit of a fetish for women who have that 'little gap' between the top of the thigh and their pelvic bone (no idea if that's the right bone, I sucked at science at school) but like the woman in the 'toned' picture has, way more than I have seen 'fetishes' about thigh gaps. There are whole websites devoted to it.
The internet is a strange place....but it further cements in my mind which is the healthiest (and apparently most attractive) to have.0 -
I have muscular legs, which is much more attractive than thigh gap. There's a tiny gap from where my thighs meet at the top and where they meet at my knees. lol But I don't think of that as true thigh gap. Who cares.0
