i have recently gained about 13 lbs and while im still not fat, it seems like its all gone to my hips and thighs. I feel so bad when i wear jeans and i can see these saddle bags i have now. its also more obvious since i have a small chest and waist :/

Are fat thighs a turn-off or do guys not really care?

    I don't think many guys really care. But from what I hear, they like the curves..
    I could be wrong but guys are made to be attracted to a woman's body. Not all, like I said.. But majority.
    They are child bearing thighs/hips we're made to have big thighs! I hate them! especially being shorter.
    Feels like it's all squished together.. I just think We just over analyze everything and that's our problem.

    Guys probably prefer a girl with a curvy body. When I see a girl with a flat, dull body and no hips I just assume they
    Haven't hit puberty yet lol

    I just made a post about having big thighs lol.... It just seems like it doesnt fit the rest of my body. I really need to lose a few more jean sizes.

    Not a turn-off, depends on the whole package but I do enjoy some nice thick legs...

    thick thighs usually means a great *kitten* so no, it's not a turn off whatsoever! guys really like them and i am learning to like them too ;)

    The turnoff is a woman creeping around insecure about her body and trying to hide it. At least that's what I've learned. And since I'm not real fond of insecure guys who creep around wearing a shirt over their gut in bed or whatever, I can sympathize with that.

    I'm thinking, if your pants are on they haven't noticed. If your pants are off they don't care.

    Nope. In some cases I think they can be quite hot! :)

    I look at the whole woman, however I suggest taking up jogging, or some other cardio.

    Guys like curves, my previous bf said he liked my hips. I just worked on ways to tone my thighs (which always bugged me:)

    Nice back! :flowerforyou:

    I really think us women overemphasize the obviousness of our thighs. I think a guys really think more about the overall package. If thighs are their end all be all that's a whole other issue.

    I <3 big thighs on women. I think they look healthy and I love curves. I think thigh gap or having knees bigger than your thighs is a turn off for me.

    Insecurities are a bigger turn off than a few pounds

    In my extensive experience (no weird friends requests please - LOL) men love curves. I've had men tell me that they were glad I was working out now, but they'd be sad to see my hips get smaller. I have 48 inch hips! Embrace your curves, love yourself for who you are. Guys will see the confidence as sexy. :happy:

    OH likes mine, but I hate looking at them, in the mirror, when I sit down, when I wear shorts, when I wear a bathing suit.. only part of my body that REALLY REALLY pisses me off. I've been fighting them all my life. If I'm unable to change them via exercise/diet changes, my next step will be expensive...

    Most men I know don't care.....or actually prefer thicker thighs.

    Besides, you have to have a little more cushion in the thigh/hip area to rock the killer pencil skirts and such. ; )

    I have been blessed/cursed with the thicker thighs as well and used to hate shopping for jeans. Now, that I have found the right cut jean for me I LOVE wearing jeans that show off my curves.

    It's all about embracing what you DO have and having confidence. If you don't have a problem with your thighs, then anyone that gets the priviledge to see that part of you won't either.

    I prefer to call them muscular, meaty thighs, and now that mine are more toned, I am starting to be okay with them.... my hubby on the other hand has always loved my thick thighs!
  • Be proud of your thick thighs....thick thighs are sexy!!

    I agree!

    I think woman are so much more critical
    MY best friend is a TWIG..long and very thin/lean ...ther and hubby have been together forever..very healthy solid relationship but he makes NO qualms that he loves a woman with weight from the waist down...nice booty and healthy thighs....
    It seems lots of guys feel this way
    I agree if you carry yourself with confidence guys will follow

    I have some meaty thighs. I love them. I do want to tone them as much as I can though.

    Men seem to like them more than women... that's my observation. (and that's an understatement)
