I'd say it's about 80% genetics and 20% "working" for it. Some people really can't have a thigh gap unless they become literally malnourished. Starving yourself and essentially killing your own body is not ok. Most of it is based on your bone structure; the width and build of your hips. If you have really thick thighs due to being overweight, you *might* get a thigh gap if you lose some of that weight (in a healthy way), but there really is no guarantee.
At the end of the day I don't think stressing over thigh gaps is worth it. People won't automatically think you're hot if you have one, nor will people automatically think you're ugly without one. Getting a thigh gap won't magically fix your issues with your confidence. If you somehow end up getting one, your lack of self-esteem will move on to the "next" problem and you'll end up obsessing over something else. So I'd say work on your confidence instead of trying to morph your body into looking a certain way. In the long run you'll be much happier once your confidence starts to grow.
To my knowledge there's no healthy way to achieve a thigh gap. It is largely based on your skeletal structure and amount of muscle/fat. I've talked to different guys throughout the years because I was self conscious of my thighs (they're pretty big and always have been). Not one of them said they preferred thigh gaps, in fact, most of them had no idea thigh gaps even existed.
1. Eat healthy!! no processed foods, portion control, no junk food, no juice, limit alcohol consumption.
2. low impact cardio, like walking, rowing, swimming, cycling, olyptical, dancing, etc.. 30 to 60 min a day, 5 days a week.
3. Yoga, 30 - 45 min. 2 or 3 times a week.
4. Lift heavy weights with low reps, including squats. Choose efficient exercises that work multiple muscle groups. 1 time ever 6 or 7 days.
5. 15 to 20 min HIIT 1 time per week.
Make this a life style and you will have and maintain the body of a goddess.
Why do u want it? and depending on bone structure and like where your body keeps it fat it might be impossible to still be healthy having one but if you're doing it to get guys well stop like slry not a SINGLE DAMN GUY CARES IF A GIRL HAS A THIGH GAP OR NOT.

Why would you even want it? If you mean that diamond gap then you just have to be at a healthy weight and wear clothes that highlight it. If it's the one that goes down your knees I don't understand why you'd want brackets between your legs... it's not worth losing your boobs and ass to have something that doesb't even look that good.
It's mostly you either have it naturally or not
Don't define yourself by something so unnecessary, literally nobody cares
it can be both genetic and someone could work for it buti don't get why people think thigh gaps are amazing. i just think the whole curvy body yet having a thigh gap looks silly to me. i've had a thigh gap my entire life and it's brought no advantages lol maybe besides that my thighs don't rub
Okay, sometimes it’s based on genetics and other times, it’s not. I had a super small thigh gap before and began doing exercises and I achieved a nice one I guess. It’s actually not hard. Search up “Thigh gap exercises” on google images and choose a routine. That’s what I did and it worked. Also, most people don’t even notice it, like no one really cares if you have one or not, you’re beautiful the way you are and you don’t need one to be perfect. 😁
its called lipo. the majority of people, no matter how hard they try, don't have one. i am 15 lbs over weight and mine is awesome. it is a genetic thing. i carry my weight around my belly. trust me, id rather have a tiny waust then a thigh gap, but that's how god made me. you can NOT redistribute fat cells without surgery. the only way to lose that is to lose over all weight. this could make you look ugly other places that need fat and make you unhealthy though.
Don't worry about trivial stuff about that. Worry about maintaining thicc thighs so your significant other will have something to lay down on. And you can have the absolute territory with that little pudge of your thigh that spills out when wearing stockings. Worry about that
It has to do with the level of fat or muscle in the legs and butt. To make them thinner, do sit ups
However, since this is genetic, she might have inherited the gene for it without workout. And if your hips are narrow then the workout would help the much...
Best of luck
Re:UPDATE
Your body is composed of so many parts that look pretty and sexy. There's a tiny small amount of guys or girls who will solely fixate on looking for a girl with just a thigh-gap, and trust me, you don't want to be around such people, they don't deserve your trust
Don't stress over something as meaningless as a thigh gap. First of all, it's a stupid fashion trend and it's not even hot. Second of all, I doubt it's possible to get unless you have it naturally. I would rant about how body ideals are bullshit and that striving towards them is unnecessary because they're impossible to achieve, but I don't have time to. Instead I'll just leave you with this: Literally nobody other than you cares about whether you have a thigh gap or not.
I've literally checked out a bajillion girls' bodies and never in my life have I ever payed attention to or willfully browsed for a thigh gap. They make literally no difference to a girl's level of attractiveness. If anything, they make a girl LESS attractive because she'd generally have to be thin as bones to be able to attain one.
The girl's body in the pic you posted is about a 4 in terms of sex appeal (on a scale of 1 to 10).
Hmmm good question but i dont think all guys are into that at least i think
Some girls have them naturally because their hips are really wide, others have them because they’re just that skinny. Why do you want one though? I have one for the latter reason and people tell me that they find my legs too skinny all the time so I don’t really think it’s a preferred look
Sorry to break it to you, but apparently thigh gaps are genetically predetermined. Only people with wide hip frames develop them. They are unattainable if you don't have those prerequisites. There may be surgery to change that in the future, but currently there are none.
Butterfly pose. It's a yoga exercise. You can see examples on YouTube. Basically, u sit and place your feet together. Grab your feet with your hands and bounce your legs up and down. Don't overdo it. Maybe 10 or 20 minutes a day the first couple weeks. It should open your hips and strengthen your inner thigh muscles.
I imagine you just have to stop slamming food onto your face every living second. If you insist on continuing to do so i imagine it takes a lot of physical work to burn through it depending on how much your genes set aside contra the amount you force down
Thigh gaps look sexy on porn stars and actresses
Women should be happy with their bodies. We already find them attractive.
They won't understand our concerns though.
You should be happy with what you have.
Your sister might look sexy with the thigh gap.
But do you realise that you look sexy in your own (different) way?
Accept and appreciate your body. Be a thoughtful person. Don't be dumb.
You're more valuable than you think. You just need knowledge and nothing else.
Also if everybody try to achieve same kind of body, diversity will be lost.
You women, you're just too arrogant. You just don't understand that we're already attracted to your bodies. You just don't need to try to look attractive.
You're already attractive in your own way.
Depending on a person's height, and weight a thigh gap can or can't be possible. Some people can achieve it others can't without getting underweight. If getting a thigh gap goes under her weight limit she shouldn't try for it. Naturally healthy ones are fine, but forced ones nah.
It’s mostly based on bone structure. Doctors usually agree that it’s unhealthy for people who don’t have one naturally to try to get one, because they usually have to starve themselves to get one.
So I thought it had to do with weight but I guess it doesn't, it it just my personal experience. If I put on weight my goes away but if I lose it, it returns. I don't know... maybe because I'm shorter it does that?
How tall are u? Let me guess: 5'3"?
Honestly a thigh gap isn’t that important you could have one but most guys won’t stare at it some may have a fetish’s over it but majority wouldn’t even notice it you’ll still look beautiful with or without it
Some say the thigh gap is a symbol that they ain’t virgins no more I don't know if that’s true
I don't really understand what the obsession a lot of Americans have with the gap. Bikinis don't look sexy only on women with gaps. Actually, most of the girls I've seen with the gap don't have straight legs
You can work for it. You c an hit the gym or do some leg exercises. Squats, one legged squats, lunges, walking lunges, jogging, leg press, calf extensions. There’s lot of work you can do to attain that
I would say people are born with it but it's definitely not relevant because I'm sure most guys don't even know what it is while you are basically killing yourself to get one and it might go unnoticed.
u This is the kind of thing that girls worry about because they ASSUME that it makes a difference to guys, but the truth is that guys really don't care.
Yep, never heard of guys caring about "thigh gaps". It's a female invention.
I like it.. But I'm also fine without it. Still, I admire it when it's there
The girl in the pic is forcing her butt out and arching her back- she doesn’t look like that at all.
Getting a thigh gap means starving yourself and working out for an hour every day.
Well in case you think this is something a dude would care about, we don't. If you still want one, it comes down to diet, and exercise. Heavy squats, and deadlifts are gonna be your friend if you want the level of fitness to have one (no you won't get bulky), and you'll get definition or "tone" in your glutes, and quads to boot. Diet wise, lots of protein, with healthy fats, and complex carbs before your workouts would get you where you wanna be
it can be genetic, and you also may have to work for it, but please dont get on the "thigh gap train" and go along with it, because it is nothing but a trend, i have tried getting this myself and it didn't affect my life at all
oh honey you don't want one, seriously you can't catch ANY food with your thighs if you have one! it's tragic really. thick thighs save lives is true.
If you don't have it, you can't get it. if you have it, you can lose it. If you have it and lose it, you can (probably) get it back.
Genetics mostly, if your both the same weight you probably won't have the wide hips that will allow it. it's all about where your legs are joined on to the hips and the angle of your thighs.
Don't beat yourself up over it. If you don't have it it's probably because you just aren't shaped that way, no amount of weight loss can help that.
You don't need one, focus on keeping yourself healthy instead ❤
The truth is, technically, any woman can get a thigh gap if they lower their body fat and get skinny enough. Obviously, if you have narrow hips and strive for a smaller gap, your goal can be more easily attained than if you have narrow hips and strive for a larger space between your thighs.
Yeah, but you have to consider that since women have higher levels of estrogen they're going to carry more fat on their legs, ass and hips than on their upper body. At least that's what happens with women who have a good amount of estrogen in their body. A woman with a pear sbaped body for would have to be severly underweight to have one. I can have ribs showing and saddle bag at the same time. I don't want to imagine how my upper body would look if i was skinny enough to have a thigh gap. Thigh gaps don't look good and even if they were, it wouldn't be worth looking like a skeleton to have one.
I prefer a girl to have a thigh gap
I don't care what you prefer, I just told you that women who have a feminine shape would have trouble getting one without looking like an Auschwitz survivor unless their hip bones are already very wide. Never judge a woman's body fat based on wether she has a thigh gap or not.
I prefer a girl with a thigh gap, because it implies a smaller butt. I LIKE SMALL BUTTS and I can not lie
Oh, you like boyish figures and underweight women. ok, it's your preference, but MY POINT was that your advice on lowering body fat it's not good for everyone and you shouldn't give such advice to someone without seeing how they look first. I didn't ask what you prefer and I don't care because it doesn't interest me. Is it so hard to understand why I commented?
I gave her the correct answer, you just don't get it
You gave her the corrent answer, but it is not a good solution for every single person on earth... that's what you don't understand.
No, that's how everyone gets it. THATS THE TRUTH
I think it is genetic and honestly alone they are not sexy. The girl herself has to be sexy along with her figure. Cause a nonsexy girl with no confidence won't be sexy if she happens to have a thigh gap and no personality.
You either have one because of your hip bones or you do not have one. They're attractive, but so are girls without them. You've probably got an attractive feature that your sister doesn't have.
Unless you can somehow alter your physiology, I'm afraid you are stuck the way you are
You are born with it. Once I gained a lot of weight and most went straight to mny legs and butt and I still had a thigh gap. But not that much. Just a triangle thing and they barely touch. I dont think iits something to die for.
I don't understand why it's such a big deal. As long as you're healthy, I don't think it matters.
both. if you don't have one and want one, tone the quads and glutes. lots of squats.
they're sexy, by the way...
You are either born with it or you have to starve to get it.
I bet your sister is jealous of you too. I know I was.
Why do you want one. its one of those things girls do because they think guys give afuck when we dont
Why do you think she's only doing it for guys?
Ever heard of the term "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"? By your logic, it must mean the home owner only wishes to have the other home, so all the neighbours will compliment him on his beautiful home, not because he finds that other home truly beautiful himself.
You can't, you have to be born with the genes to have one.
I don't think you can do much for creating a thigh gap.
ANd, by the way, this bikini bottom is not a good one for this girl: see the wrinkles.
Ewww gross I always found the thigh gap gross on a woman there’s just something freaky and weird in a bad away about it
You either born with it or you could try a new diet to help achieve what you what you have in mind. Honestly, i don't see the big fuss about having one.
genetics i think... i've seen really skinny girls and girls with a little meat on their legs both have them... I've also seen skinny girls without them. It's all in the hips I think
I hope you realize that those with it loses it when they gain muscle mass on the legs hips and the but, also how you angle and twist the legs shange how it looks, the rest is genetics.
Squats. All women have thigh gaps unless you're a man with balls hanging
You want the weird thigh gap or the hot and sexy diamond gap?
Totally not the same so different name, different thing.
Yeah, diamond gap is for women who are at a healthy weight and body fat percentage, thigh gaps are owned mostly by underweight women and looks bad
Mainly genetics. Other than that, diet and exercise, sis.
Thick thighs are nicer than a thigh gap in my opinion.
She's got no booty. Tbh you could look better without a thigh gap and a booty!
You don't need a thigh gap to look good in a bikini...
You don't need a thigh gap. What you need is self love. Love & accept your body for how it looks.
Its lovely sexy photo not only the gap but that ass gorgeous isn't it , but loose weight and exercise …...
You can't do it naturally because of your bone structure. That's how thigh gaps happen.
Just gotta lose weight and tone your thighs. Lots and lots of cardio.
If you have one or not. You are unique and gorgeous in your own way. But never give up on your goals.
Its probably genetic unless you wanna try some weird unnatural way of getting it. I wouldn't worry anyways though since i dont think a lot of people pay attention to that kinda stuff.
Not all people can have it - a lot depends on how their legs are aligned. You shouldn't worry about it as most people who are not shallow would not like you less if you don't have a thigh gap.
You shouldn't be jealous, since she's also jealous, and some people think it's sexy, I personally don't give a crap
