Some girls like the look or enjoy the intense physical challenge of struggling to achieve it when so many other girls have failed.
Others view a thigh gap as the ultimate thinspiration or social media beauty standard.
A few want it because they have heard it is very rare, are super competitive by nature and believe that they will be able to attract the super hot perfect 10 guys that would never have given them a second glance without their thigh gap.

thicc thighs r cute too

this is why according to wikihow
"Simply put, most women have hips that are set too closely together for there to be a large gap between their thighs, even with very little fat on their legs. If you have wider set hips, however, a thigh gap might actually be possible while maintaining a healthy overall weight"

I naturally have a thigh gap and thought there was something wrong with me and it was abnormal (I'm not extremely skinny or anything btw) but I like it it's a part of me and the way I was born but I don't think it should be forced on someone who doesn't naturally have it just because they want to please others and hop on the trend. And people these days are more about being thick :dontknow:

Why can't we just accept all body types instead of making one of them 'the trend'? It's stupid

not everyone likes 'thick', some of us think slim, thin, skinny, etc is more attractive as long as they're healthy

another good reason why people need to be more open about their bodies, talk more about them, n see each others bodies
the more different bodies we see as we're growing up the more everyone would realise there are so many different types, shapes n sizes

Unfortunately some people are what I term 'fashion victims' and unable to accept their body or have individual preferences.

Exactly there are so many different body types with different experiences for different people. We need to be taught from a young age about them and accepting them :yep:
