Why don't my thighs touch?

[Lovelylady128]

I'm 5'6" and 132 pounds but my thighs don't touch... Is it because I have wide hips? I mean I am not like really skinny because I look healthy and fit but a lot of people my height who weigh less than me thighs touch. Why is this? The tops of my thighs touch but a lot of people have thick thighs and I want that.

It has to do with hip width. If you have wide set hips that means your thighs are more spaced apart, as well. Whereas a person with narrow hips naturally has thighs that are closer together. A person with narrow hips will likely have thighs that touch even if skinny. I'm very thin and my thighs touch, because I have very narrow hips. I would have to starve to death to have thighs that don't.

That's what I thought but I wasn't sure but people keep saying it so Im gonna take your word for it.

I understand people with narrow hips can't get the gap but like beyonce she has wide hips and doesn't have a gap. Why is that?

[EyeSeaYew]

Whether you have a thigh gap or not doesn't just depend on the width of your hips. Your pelvic bone is a big factor. Many women have pointed pelvic bones, whereas a less pointed, more rounded pelvic bone acts as a separator of the legs. So different genetic factors play in if you have one.

You just have a wide bone and hip structure. But anyway embrace your thigh gap, I wish I had one

Everyones body puts on weight differently, whether it be fat or muscle. There are NFL running backs with pretty thin legs.

idk, must be your body frame. some people naturally have a thigh gap.

I agree that thick thighs look good, but wide hips look good too so hey...

[Lovelylady128]

Like my thighs are bigger than average they just don't touch. It's confusing

[skullly]

for the same reason your body is not like your neighbors! or like anybody else's. duh!

maybe genetics? maybe malnutrition?

could be a lot of things really

[Lovelylady128]

[Opinion Owner]

weight isn't everything

you know how some people look fit but have like a hollow part in theri cheecks or parts that look a little too suncken in? thats malnutrition (or so I've been told)

point is it could be a number of things or simply genetics lol

[Lovelylady128]

Well then it's not malnutrition. lol It's not genetics either I'm gonna go with my freakishly wide hips lol
