    A friend of mine lost 200 pounds over 3 years. She had no gap as far as anybody could tell. Now after 2 years of weight lifting she has a thigh gap. Her legs are solid muscle. She looks like a fitness model. So having a thigh gap can be just as sexy as not having one.

    Because beauty is objective, of course. Everyone finds the same body shape attractive, everyone has the same preferences.

    I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting a thigh gap (within reason) I mean, if you're overweight and never seen anything like collar bones, ankle bones, etc on yourself, it can become something you're happy to see and that you like. I like having collarbones for the first time and have a teeny tiny bit of a thigh gap and personally I like it, but it just happened accidentally along the road to my healthy goal weight. It isn't always unhealthy.

    Yes there is

    Because it's like wanting brown eyes when you have blue

    it's genetic

    you can't diet your way to having a 'thigh gap' if you don't have wide-spaced hips and you shouldn't try to because it will just look like starvation

    I said within reason. I don't mean people starving to have one.

    I'm sorry but when it's a genetic feature I don't understand how the qualifier 'within reason' counts

    I want a thigh gap for one reason... So I can easily put my toilet roll down the loo when I'm finished. If I had a thigh gap I wouldn't need to open my legs any more! YAY!

    It's a fixation on a certain feature that matters little...but it is a concern when someone comes on and asks "how do I get one" because it's one of those holy grails of the pro-ana community. When a young woman who does not naturally have a gap between her upper legs (through hip placement or genetic weight distribution) aspires to have one, it's a warning sign.

    But, women who do naturally have wide set hips and thinner legs? They can and should rock on with their own bad selves. (And, also, have some empathy, because if your legs are naturally thin, that just means that if you put on weight, you'll carry it elsewhere, usually the abdomen. That's no fun, either.)

    Perfect serious summation of the issue.

    Unless Corduroy pants come back in style it does not matter.

    Who thought corduroy pants were ever a good idea in the first place?

    Thigh gaps remind me of WW2 pictures I've seen :-(

    Thigh gaps, bikini bridges and injecting fat into the vulva. Is it just me or do these trends seem to revolve around a central theme?

    I think most of us guys would prefer a nice badonkadonk to a bean pole with thigh gap.

    I"m more concerned with sweep rather than gap. Love that look of muscle sweep going out from the knee and in at the hip. I just lift the weights and my body reconfigures naturally. I don't really think about thigh gap to be honest.
