    It's over rated. I've never heard of any women I know that actually wants a gap in their thighs. I prefer to look, healthy ... but that's my opinion. B)

    True I support being healthy

    My thighs have always touched. My hips are 43" and couldn't imagine anything less. Well maybe a little less lol

    It's imperative to be at a weight that is healthy for your age and height. Thigh gaps is not something you work on it just happens base on bone structure. Could I be wrong?

    Is holding a roll of quarters under your stomach roll a thing? Because I could totally do that.

    Nope. You are right.

    I used to be 115 lbs at 5'6" and I am almost positive my thighs touched even then. It wasn't really a thing back in the 90s so I can't say I ever checked in the mirror but I can't remember having one even back then when I had the physique of a 12 yo boy.

    I think thigh gap is just code for a random thread. Coins in collar bones? Touching your belly button?

    Unrealistic views of body image.

    :p No question mark, it is. Just like photoshop in magazines.

    In my case, I think a thigh gap would be more comfortable for me when I wear skirts and shorts since my thighs rub each other when I walk. It isn't necessarily a beauty goal, it would just make me feel more comfortable. Perhaps it happens to other women, and even men, too.

    I don't know if it has a name but I am getting there!
    I don't care if my thighs have a gap, I care about what they can LIFT! :lol:

    Always had slim legs but never had thigh gap. I've heard it comes from the shape of your butt? Who really cares!

    Why do women seek to have a thigh gap?
    What's the big deal?
    It's just a passing trend with Instagrammers & Celebs,....it'll be something else next year. ***Rolls Eyes***

    Aah I had that when I was properly dancing and it was the best. Now I'm lifting and it's starting to come back with a vengeance - I'll take that over thigh gap any day!

    I'd like to have a thigh gap, even though I know it might not be possible. My legs brush together when I walk and on a hot day it's uncomfortable and often painful. I don't think it's that shallow to want to change that :/

    The only time I have seen a thigh gap in an adult woman is in elderly women who aren't eating enough. No idea why this has become an issue.

    I had a thigh gap when I was still 30 lbs overweight. It's all genetics. I never understood what was so attractive.

    Other than on here I have never heard anyone in real life talk about wanting a thigh gap.

    Yeah I'm in the I don't want my thighs to rub together boat. This has already gone down significantly. I don't think a traditional thigh gap is attractive anymore.

    i have a natural thigh gap because of wide hips and all it's gotten me is phones dropped in the toilet.

    I have a thigh gap and I like it. I think it's cute and it makes my legs look very long and slender. I also love my collar bones and one day hope to see my baby abs.
    Don't have it? Cool, I'm not into chicks so idc.
