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
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.
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?
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
