Thigh gaps.

No. It has nothing to do with risk.

It has to do with fitness. If a girl is willing to put in time exercising to get the body she wants rather than starving herself.

I didn't have a thigh gap even when I weighed 7.5 stones. It has to do with body shape and hip structure, it's got very little to do with fitness. How many athletes do you see with thigh gaps?!

But the issue is there ARE more people starving themselves, overexercising and obsessing over their weight because of unrealistic 'size zero' expectations. For a lot of girls it's frankly unrealistic to be that small and consume a healthy amount of calories. Starving and purging has greater implications on health than lifting, running and eating a ridiculous amount of calories per day, which is what men do.

Hold on, are you talking about the distance between thighs or the curvature of inner thighs to create a gap?

I don't follow athletics but if you look on these facebook groups themed at girls who work out, a dispreportionately large number of them have thigh gaps.

I'm talking about there being a great big gap between a person's legs, usually either genetic or due to being severely underweight if not genetic. I have a curve in my thighs but the gap is small, nothing like these pictures on tumblr that girls are aiming at.

That may be so, but I don't know a single guy who wants girls to be -that- skinny, the majority of guys prefer women to have shape, I have absolutely no idea where girls get these ideas from, or even if these expectations really exist.

You speak like a woman's primary purpose is to cater to men's preferences. The expectations do exist but I admit they are mostly kept between women.

The thigh gaps that some men love are like the ones above, you see the way that at the very top of the thigh, the thighs contour inwards, making that distinctive shape? Thighs can touch at any other point.

I don't know if that's you or not, but those type of legs aren't attractive.

That looks ****ing weird.

My gosh that's not me! Haha. If you read my post a few pages back I even said I like the "triangle" gap at the top of a girl's legs. However on these blogs the OP is referring to its the very skinny type of gap that they want to achieve. It's got very little to do with what men want, more to do with trying to look like a model or something... I dunno!

I don't know where you inferred that from and that's 100% conjecture.

They are mostly kept between women, exactly. I have never heard a guy say he wants a girl to be ask skinny as Kate Moss, and only a few times heard guys say they like skinny girls.
