    My mother tells of her Personal Hygiene class in school. The teacher told all of the girls that you know you're the right weight when you can fit your fist between your thighs.

    Ah, gotta love 1950s classes, right?

    I've had a fist between my thighs before...I mean...what?

    What position are your feet in during this measurement? Are they together or hip width? This seems extreme even for those days.

    No clue, but my mom said she had it. Of course, she weighed 98 pounds for most of her younger life, dropping down to 88 for a short time there. I'm an inch shorter and can't imagine being that tiny. Then, neither can she anymore. Three kids and 70 years took their toll on her, and she's a far healthier weight now.

    Ok, so who was actually testing to see if their fist would fit? I'm fairly certain that teachers have been brought up on charges in the recent past for this!

    I personally know I probably will never have one seeming I do not want to be skin and bones and that's the only way for me to achieve that look. I think that girls with more curves, are better looking and definitely more healthy looking. Plus I like my booty.

    Some people are predisposed to be able to have thigh gaps at healthy weights. Some people are not. It really depends on your hips:

    The amount of Thigh Gap threads is quickly overtaking those for HCG. Thankfully, there is a search feature that may allow you think before posting that which has already been determined and defined as only meaningful for where the zombies take their first bite.

    Most men prefer to create their own thigh gap between a woman's legs with either their hips or head.

    QFT...A thigh gap isn't that hard to achieve assuming you have a pulse and/or haven't gone into rigor mortis. Not that I condone certain actions with corpses.

    PS: Where the hell does the notion that a thigh gap is desirable come from anyway? I've never sat around with a group of guys and said, "The only way I'll look at a woman is if she's got a gap between her thighs when her ankles are touching...."

    I also didn't know what a thigh gap was until I joined MFP. I was underweight once and I can't recall my thighs touching or not. All I really care about is my thighs not being jiggly.

    Hehehe, I'd love a thigh gap. Gotta be better than thighs that rub together hasn't it? I'd also love to not have cankles. Even when I've been slimmer I still had cankles. >:(

    I miss having a bit of a thigh gap, but really it's all dependent on your shape not your weight. That and perfecting the art of placing you feet *just* at the right angle to make it look like it's actually there...!

    But yeah, it's so incredibly inconsequential in the grand scheme of things...

    I know I'll never have a thigh gap, my thighs have always been huge be it from fat or muscle but I would love a thigh gap just because I get chub rub so badly! I'd like my jeans to last me a while and not start a fire when my thighs are sweaty under a skirt. Aesthetically, I could care less, and I'm in no way working to get one, but if I magically happened to get one due to weight loss...I wouldn't complain.

    I love my wide hips but don't care about a thigh gap. I'll be sure to post pics in success stories one day because no one in real life gives a crap about this stuff.
