    Mostly I think it's women who care about it.

    Personally, I don't think I have ever seen a thigh gap come with the type of legs I want for myself......

    The thigh gap?? What the @#! Now we're sposed to have a gap between our thighs!? Thats a goal for 14 year old girls, most grown would look anerexic with a thigh gap. And you probably have to watch how tight you wear your pants!!:wink:

    Until this afternoon I have never heard of or thought about such a thing.

    Honestly,when we like you (ladies) most of us like you for who you are,how you are.

    ladies,
    guys like this?

    Some (such as myself) are not physiologically capable of having a thigh gap. It is all to do with the width of the pelvis and the angle your legs come from your hips. I think the only way I'd ever have it was if I had some terrible wasting disease.

    ^this^

    (I'm not a guy, but) I come from a family of very narrow-hipped women, and so non-gapped is what I tend to think of as "normal." This is just me personally, and I'd never say so to anyone out loud, but my deep inner id-child sometimes has to be mentally reminded that a thigh gap is just part of the natural variation among human bodies: it really doesn't mean there's anything "wrong" with the person.

    Doesn't matter. There are too many other things *way* more important than a gap between your thighs. Seriously, what are we going to do with that gap? If there's not enough room between your thighs, it's easy enough to make more. That's all I have to say.

    Edit: I mean, in all my days of checking out girls, I can not recall a single instance of either myself or another dude saying, "Damn, check out the gap between *her* thighs!" Like I said, there are plenty of other things to get distracted by.

    I am pretty sure that thigh gap isn't the gap between ladies legs that most men are concerned about.

    ^ lmfao!
    in all honesty though, this is more about genetics i remember when i was dancing in high school at 110 pounds at a size 4 my thighs still touched then so who cares imho.

    Ya know, we're not THAT shallow gender >.<

    I consider myself a pretty shallow man and even I never gave something like that a thought...

    I would LOVE to not have the chub rub anymore. I hate it. Not sure if that requires a thigh gap or less of one....

    Ummm, to answer ur topic question......it doesn't matter at all and who the heck would even worry bout it whether you have one or not??????

    Many women don't care, but it's a big thing in women with eating disorders, and it's one of the goals they try to achieve because it's considered a standard of "thinness" and beauty.

    All the guys I know prefer muscular thighs, regardless of how close together or far apart they are, to unhealthily thin legs. Just aim for a healthy body, and make peace with the thighs you were given to work with, ladies.

    I think the inside of a womens thighs should touch. It helps to avoid over representation of accessories in that area. :ohwell:
    I think theres a term for that too, yeah its camel toe!

    The thigh gap? I mean do guys even notice and if you do, do you care if it's there? Opinions from all guys please!!!

    In 44 years, I've never heard of it, much less thought about it. But then again, I'm not a leg guy. :D

    I know what you're talking about... it's noticed but not a certain desire of most guys. We're animals... only after one thing. (Married here, only one woman for me!) But you know what I mean.

    This thread is proof that women are far harder on our bodies than men are.

    I blame pop culture and beauty magazines!
