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

    DING DING DING!

    Insecurities are a bigger turn off than a few pounds

    Look at all the jelly women hating on the fit chick. Wow, get over it. People look different. I find that attractive and I also find a thick girl attractive. What I don't find attractive is a *****y woman on the internet who says someone's body is "disgusting" because it's not their goal.

    OMG Yes!
  • I think fat thighs are gross, no offense to anyone. I absolutely hate my thighs, I think they're way too big.

    I guess it depends on the person. I had a guy recently tell me that a slight "giggle" in the leg is a turn on..First I've heard of it!

    Girl, if your legs are "giggling" I'd get that checked out.

    That is a man with a wig. Sorry to anyone who does like this.. but in my opinion, a woman who looks masculine is not sexy.
    I have guy friends who would kill for that body. thats creepy.. ew. Sorry.. but.. ew.

    I would kill for that body.. What is more sexy than a girl who strong and beautiful?

    I am a man who likes legs, so yes, fat thighs completely turn me off. No offence to anyone, Am I shallow? probably, but it's physical attraction then the attraction of personalities to me. I am who I am, love me or hate me haha

    That girl has amazing thighs. I would love my legs to be muscular like hers.

    that's not very nice, what if someone said that about you :(

    There are kind of men, all kinds of preference and all kinds of sexy. Anyone struggling to getfit should know that by now.

    Amen sister. And that woman worked HARD to look like that. People would be jumping down my throat if an overweight woman's pic was posted and I said "she looks disgusting." about her.

    Body shaming sucks for everybody, y'all. Respect the hard work, and appreciate that health and fitness come in lots of different packages.
  • I hate my thighs too, but what you gonna do? It doesn't stop guys from looking, so I guess I'm the only one who notices, lol
  • I think it depends on the guy honestly. A lot of guys I know don't get hung up on the things that bother us about ourselves. I've been told that confidence is key. A person who's comfortable in their own skin is one of the biggest turn ons in my opinion.

    Nope, doesn't bother me, like others said being insecure can be a turn off, or feeling so ashamed about aparticular area that you won't let me touch it is a major turnoff.

    Tons of guys tell me they miss my thighs. They like them at least. I don't know many guys who don't like ladies with big legs. I personally hate my big legs :P
  • I've never once had a guy tell me he didn't like my thighs. Ever.
    I hang out with a lot of "dudes" and from all the guy talk I've concluded that men don't care what size your thighs are, they just want to get between 'em lol


    At my highest weight (175 lbs) I HATED my thighs. I've always had big thighs, well, because I'm hispanic. Even at 113 lbs my legs were thick, and muscular since I was on the swim team.

    Well I'm down about 16 lbs from my highest weight and I've been doing a lot of strength training, so I'm happier with them. I guess I'll come back later and post some pics :)

    I agree.

    Back to the original post... I have to wonder if some of the "OMG my thighs are SOOOO fat" and similar comments come from too many young women lacking an understanding of what normal changes happen as girls become women. In a world of photoshop and spanx, I think there's a lot of women who misunderstand the difference between hips and a "muffin top" and what real thighs look like. (Hint: for many of us, they touch and that's ok. It's ok if they don't, too, as long as you're not malnourished trying to get or keep them from touching.)

    Yep complete turn off if they are rubbing together and catch on fire from friction! :laugh:

    I think that all the women on here saying "I hate my thighs" are just crazy! When will women understand that our bodies are beautiful in different sizes and shapes. It isn't about that, its about how we carry ourselves and how confident and sexy we think we are. I know that I love my legs. They are meaty and strong and damn sexy that way. Was I always happy with my body, no...but I never "hated" my body. I just feel sexier and healthier when I am more fit.

    Read these comments ladies, the men don't really care about your thick thighs (except a few shallow guys). They just want a woman who thinks she is sexy, who carries herself with self respect and confidence.

    Edit~ and hating on other women isn't just mean and bitc#y, it is a HUGE turn off for EVERYONE! I think it makes you look gross when you are mean and nasty to other women just because you don't look like that or want to look like that.

    So would the majority of the guys on this site!

    HA right. That's not normal. It is gross. That's my opinion. Guess I'm being a *****. Who cares!

    Also keep in mind in order to show off those muscles she is very dehydrated, when she is not competing her skin is softer and more plump because she will be more hydrated :) She is a hottie!! and she is my goal, one day I will be where she is :love:

    I think she looks great. She obviously worked hard to get that body.

    That's total BS. There are plenty of women who would ALSO say that a ripped guy is gross. There is a point of too much, and since when does "hard work" have to mean it is attractive? I don't find ripped guys with their veins sticking out everywhere hot either. It isn't normal for a body to be so defined. I prefer natural looking. Call me crazy!:laugh:

    I have thick thighs and a big booty. I used to hate it, but most guys say that's the first physical feature they notice about me. Never had any complaints, and I look great in jeans or a form-fitting dress/skirt! :)

    Hating on fat women is not OK but hating on muscular women is? Sad bit of double standards if you ask me.

    I'm an equal opportunity hater. I'd say the same thing about someone who is fat.

    Cynthia, obviously you don't speak for everyone. Not sure how that's not clear.

    There's no such thing as what a "normal" body looks like, everybody's "normal" is different. I totally understand she's not your cup of tea, that's cool. But no need to be so nasty about it, she worked hard for what she has, just like many of us who are constantly working hard to achieve our goals.

    Or I could disagree with you since that's my prerogative as well.
