Do guys really like girls with thick thighs?

Question

**First I'd like to clarify, I mean thick, not fat**

I'm starting to hear it in songs a lot where the guy says he likes a thin waist with hips and thick thighs. I've heard guy friends say it too that they don't like little thighs on a girl. I always thought they did! My natural body shape is small on top, bigger on bottom. I have tiny arms, stomach waist, etc. (Although I have C boobs). But on the bottom, I definitely have big hips and thighs, but then my calves are small again.

I've worked out since puberty trying to make my thighs smaller and I'm realizing this is just the way they are. Toned but thick lol Is it true though, that guys really like girls with thick thighs? Or do they not?

Most definitely you can be assured that 90% of guys like thick thighs. You see its a trend here, guys like all the things physically in a girl that guys don't have, and vice versa. Big breasts came first, than big butts, and now guys are finally coming out that they love thick thighs. And you're right, not fat thighs, but thick thighs... also, not super muscular thighs either (Ilike body builder ladies have), I'm sure many guys would agree with me that those are unattractive.

I was riding a plane today, and, being bored, I checked out some of the girls legs sitting near me (since I'm a major leg fan), two of them were boderline normal/thick, and I thought of them as very hot! But this other girl in front and to the right of me, right in my view wearing this short skirt, had these "stick legs", literally, its like the kind of legs you see in pictures of anorexic people, I didn't give her a second glance through the entire flight even though she was right there plain as day. And yet the girl sitting next to me, about average weight, maybe a little thick in a few area, she wore pants and was reading some book about weight management. To be honest, I think these thicker girls need to be ones wearing the shorts and skirts and being proud of their legs and these anorexic-looking underweight stick-leg girls should be reading the weight managment books (to gain some!) and put some pants on. Just my humble opinion of course, girls can do whatever they want to be happy. I just think what society says in terms of what is attractive and unattractive is way off base, and I'm surprised that in this enlightened age girls of average or thick proportions are on a never ending mission to look like the girl with the stick legs...

I should start out saying, guys are instinctively attracted to

- wide hips = good for child birth

- sufficient breast for milk for the children (yours are great)

- overall fitness for keeping up with the nomadic group when traveling.

you know that if you exercise a region a lot it builds muscle there, bulking you up in that location. Why do you think athletes who ride bikes have thick thighs?

If you want to loose fat deposits the exercise you need to do is cardiovascular, getting your heart rate and breathing up. To help ensure your muscles are long and thin but strong and flexible stuff like yoga and pilates is excellent. I think it's Pilates that increases your heart rate and breathing enough to incorporate cardiovascular, with the strength exercises while stretching for flexibility and long thin muscles. Whereas yoga typically doesn't quite get your heart rate as high, but yoga also helps with mental stresses

If you want more of an hourglass figure, perhaps try some upper body specific exercises to build some bulk up top. Not too much or you'll look like a guy.

As for my personal preference, I find that girls with stick legs and have too many bones sticking out all over the place in general, which is quite painful when you're in the bedroom.

LOVE thick thighs! :D. I find them extremely attractive especially when they touch, plus if a women is naturally meant to have thicker thighs than it is much healthier for her.

Something like this is hot!

Chocobofever · Accepted Answer

I read a study that said hungry men and men who feel unstable about their financial status prefer thicker girls, probably because they would "survive a famine" better. don't know if it's true but... Fat guys are always hungry (due to blood sugar levels etc.) and tend to like fat/thick women. Black men have traditionally been opressed/the poor part of population and they generally prefer thicker women. Where I come from it can be quite clearly distinguished that the better off people are skinnier than the average/poor people. So...

P. S. In general I think guys care a lot less about it than girls do. Guys don't like to make it complicated, us girls do. WE are the ones secondguessing ourselves. And honestly, I think we put them off way more by acting manly than we do by showing them our thick thighs...

wingattebaby16 · Accepted Answer

a lot of guys love thick thighs, but what they don't like a big belly, especially if a girl has rolls.

Most girls with big thighs have sexy wide hips and nice butts. Again, fat rolls are a turn off.

A lot of guys are totatally into skinny thighs.

It depends on the guy and on the girl.

I am a skinny thigh girls and have dumped by a lot of guys in favor of a girl with thicker thighs, better hips, bigger butt, and esp bigger boobs! Bigger boobs are a deal breaker. I have been dumped so many times coz "that girl has really nice boobs!"

abc3643 · Answer

The poll is bullshit. This is an example of transient trends affecting people's minds.

When it comes to questions like this, always look at the constants throughout history because that tells you reality.

For this question, all you have to do is ask this question:

"What sort of legs do leg models have?"

Answer: It ain't "thick thighs".

Why?

Because it was NEVER thick thighs; thick thighs (which later become unattractive fat thighs) hide the vajajay.

Here's another example: "Thigh Gap". Thigh gaps are hot - and they've always been hot because thigh gaps visually highlight the vajajay as in "Here it is! Come and get it!".

What do women with thick thighs have? Well, it ain't a crotch gap. It's the thin thigh leg models that have thigh gaps. The thick thighs mask the vajajay and tell the male: "Well,... it's in there __somewhere__ Good luck finding it and having to push all that flesh out of the way to get to the Promised Land..."

RomeMontaview · Answer

They are not. To them a shape like that one in that "Girl with thick thighs" image in this thread is grotesque. The "Psychology Today" article "Eternal Curves" lays out the female shape men are most attracted to, and why they have been naturally selected to be attracted to that in evolution.

The ancient architect Vitruvius developed a guide for artists to use to create attractive body proportions. He did not have the benefit of the above article to know why. He just knew from the innate template all men are born with:

Women have enlarged breasts only because men have naturally selected for them. Breast size does not make a difference in milk production. Men select for enhanced breasts because of their overall attraction to the rounded shapes which are an indication of generous stores of DHA Omega 3 fatty acids as the above "Eternal Curves" article explains. The enhanced breasts are a Fisherian adaption.

Four situations here: How I think... Not all men... only my thoughts...

If she's thin and cute, his head sees "oh, she's a bit smaller than how i'd expect that face and that body i'm just thinking about..." and he might find himself comparing and wishing she was like so and so... this can all happen subconsciously and some guys don't even notice they're thinking about such. But I'd give her a baby, I don't care!

If she's thin and not as cute, for me I just get myself disqualifying without further notice. "not my type". I don't know for other men.

If she's thick and not as cute to him, he thinks, "man she looks good, but the face just blew that body away. I'll just focus on her body, her looks don't match that beautiful thick body. Maybe a one night, but the face will make me not choose her for my child. "

If she's thick and cute, man, i want that woman's child right this moment. Then the other part of the brain starts bringing in disappointment thoughts, "she obviously has 200 men wanting the same", "brooo just give up, why are you even looking at her"... *sadness for a moment* 🤣

It's just weird that this is what i've found in these 3 Terabytes of thoughts from my small brain. This is actually what i think, and now i do it consciously and realize what is happening.

MrOracle · Answer

Like any physical trait, you'll find some guys who like them, some who hate them, and many who don't care much either way.

Women tend to gain and carry weight on their hips and thighs, while men tend to carry weight around their stomachs, but of course, genetics will cause a wide range of variation. And likewise, different men will find different things attractive. Some men want only big boobs, and some want only small boobs, and some don't care. Other men only care about the butt (some big, some small, etc.). And still others focus on other body parts.

But all of that is just *initial* attraction. Once a guy gets to know you, your individual body parts become much less important, no matter if they are attractive to him or not.

Iron_Pounder91 · Answer

Yeah, thick thighs all the way. There's just something sexy about filled out shaped thighs that wins hands down. In fact I genuinely look at it as an aesthetic thing, flat stomach with thick, muscly, toned thighs just screams sexy in the same way that a guy with big thick arms and a slim waist probably would to a woman I guess. Not everyone is the same though, some girls prefer skinny guys without thick arms just as some guys prefer skinny girls without thick legs. It all comes down to personal preference but in general thick thighs and slim waist convey a sexual aesthetic image and most guy's go for this just as most girls would go for an aesthetic sexually conveyed guy with thick arms and a slim waist.

All the girls I've dated have had rather thin thighs though (by chance) but it certainly hasn't put me off because thighs aren't and shouldn't be the determining factor in whether you really like someone, unless you're superficial.

WalterBlack · Answer

Having thick thighs is a sign of physical maturity for a woman. Some guys prefer less curvy (I hesitate to use the word skinny) women and there is nothing wrong with that. However, evolution has generally programmed guys to seek out women with physical carachteristics that indicate she would be able to bear children effectively. That inclues things like having wide hips (childbirth) and thick thighs (strong legs and ability to store nutrients in the body). But, putting science aside, thick thighs can be very sexy and lots of guys prefer a woman to have them.

MlleCake · Answer

Honey, there is a seat for every ass as they say.

What that means is no matter how you look, there are probably plenty of men (and women) who really go for your body type. Dress to flatter your body, take care of your hair and face, top it off with a confident attitude and maybe a big hair-flower, and you will find people who affirm who you are and like you for your whole package, especially your personality.

Hair-flowers hide a multitude of sins...

Do guys really like girls with thick thighs?

HSalenko · Answer

As always people vary, but generally it's not seen as a bad thing to have thick thighs and I happen to love them. The thing about beauty though is some body parts come in and out of fashion. 20 years ago it was all about breasts, fast forward to 10 years ago and up to today and everyone can only think about butts. If you're healthy, comfortable with your body, then there's someone out there who'd love it like no one else. I wouldn't be too worried about what's popular, look good in a way that works for you.

Funny cuz I asked this same question and everyone said they like skinny girls 🙄🙄 and on here men r saying they like thick girls only 🙄🙄

I notice the thick girls get many bfs easily and skinny girls men think are ugly. I’m skinny cuz I got my dads genes , his family is skinny bones.

😓 so that’s y I have boney arms and chicken legs. Having ass and boobs doesn’t help. I don't know how the fuck women get huge thighs huge fat hips and huge fat ass arms.
the more I eat the more skinnier I get. I get zero meat.
It feels like all women r born thick and I was the only one born skinny 😥😥

Apope16 · Answer

I think thick thighs are seen as more sexualized to me. Thin thighs makes you think of a corpse. But often when "thick" thighs are mentioned we are talking about overweight people so it makes it not attractive as a whole. I would say that I like a well toned thigh as opposed to a "thick" thigh where there is a waddle while walking or where the thighs rub against each other while walking. THats not attractive. However, a girl who has nice thighs and has a nice round chest is sure to give me an erection regardless of whether she is slightly overweight or not.

prettynormal · Answer

I have thick thighs, round booty and small waist, no belly even after 2 kids. Haven’t done an ab in my life. I do weights to prevent cellulite, though. The point is that I always felt that guys like my body shape. I feel very lucky because I literally have this shape with zero effort. I’m definitely lucky. I am 100% sure guys love a well defined waist and thick thighs.

SingleGuy101 · Answer

I like the 60's / 70's frame women, Beyonce is too big for me. I would say I do like the bigger thighs, but some are just too big. I don't like big breasts. If you have them, great but that is not gonna make me attracted to you Voice, hair, eyes, butts, legs, are all things I consider when looking at the physical attributes of a woman. It is not one thing that I am attracted to, it is the "combination". I hate butts that are not to scale, meaning some butts are too big. I tend to like tall skinny curly haired blonds that are in their 50's and 60's. I like gray hair too. Personality is very important. Beyonce and Shakira are examples of thighs that are too big. Look at women in magazines and catalogs from the 70's and early 80's and that is closer to what I like.

Rrmat · Answer

So many retarded comments.

Keep your body the way you are comfortable with. Keep your body the way you want to enjoy looking at it. If you truly like your body then that's attractive. Period. There are so many pathetic stereotype that influence the majority. You can choose if you want to be the majority or the minority (above average).

Also, take time to work on your insecurities before you get lost in it.

If you are someone who uses social media a lot, try cutting it out for a month. You are going to feel much much better about your body and self esteem. For that one month just talk to your friends over phone / text. It's just a month. You just might find out who your true friends are aswell.

Good luck

Paul_in_Indy · Answer

Thick thighs mean that (after you've had at least one orgasm and we are barreling
down the backstretch together) I can climb on top and really slam it in hard and fast for
as long as I want without hurting either of us. When I look at your pretty face and your
electric smile, and then trace my eyes down to those thick thighs flowing out of your
shorts, I KNOW we can have a good time together with some wild rides.

I say, "bring it on."

scotty01 · Answer

I don’t agree to what half the people are saying here. Too big of a girl is a heart attack waiting to happen as it’s too much weight on the heart. As my daughter was born with a heart problem and I asked the heart specialist as that’s exactly what they say. Too much weight puts strain on the heart and makes it work harder and when you run the heart can’t handle it as it’s already going fast enough because there not moving around enough. So big thighs no way. After what the doctors says that’s made me think a lot.

G-Daz · Answer

I F***ING LOVE! that picture! I've seen it before aha. thick thighs are so hot! I think its natural and feminine, it just looks off... when you see a woman with stick legs with a big gap in the middle, it makes her legs look like they'd break the moment she is carrying a baby. a big gap in the middle is unnatural for many girls and according to many studies have shown it linked in with heart disease and early death.

Thick thighs ftw! :P love that ass and thighs

MementoMori_ · Answer

I'm not attracted to a girl because of what sized thighs she has. It's all about the whole package. Can't generalize. I tend to like thinner girls though, and thinner girls don't usually have thick thighs. The only body type that isn't attractive to me is fat... which to me means not enough of a waistline and/or flab. Other than that I've seen thick and thin girls that look sexy to me.

ChocoLada · Answer

Nah, not in reality, almost all the guys I know prefer thin thighs.
This poll is just another example of fake voting by some fetishist who has hundreds of sock-puppet profiles (duplicate level 1 profiles used mostly for voting and faking poll results).
That guy obviously has no life.

StanTwice · Answer

I think it depends on where a man comes from. Their country's beauty standards really influences their opinions about looks. Like, most men from western countries like voluptuous women while most men from Asian countries like thinner women. Anyway, for me, I find thinner thighs to be more attractive. but, I'd also sometimes like thick thighs only if they're proportionate to the rest of the body though.
Take for example, this photo:

I'm not exactly sure if this the type of "thick" you're talking about, but this is really pretty to me.

Xoxocutekitty · Answer

men and women are really only programmed to like what society says is in. 20 years ago in the 90s being THIN was in, and guys would have probably abhorred the idea of thick thighs the way we look at them and think, oh gosh, it looks like they didn't eat.

AsunaKazuhaya · Answer

It's really not about race more like the taste the men have. I understand your issue I'm small on top thick in thighs and small from then on.

Its extremly important for y'all to realize that beauty is not discussable, shapeable, questionable, etc...
When u strat using terms n conditions for beauty u r on the road that leads to nowhere.
If it wasn't for today's society, I don't know what my standards would be like. My standards are society's byproduct. ''my'' n ''standards'' both product.

Look deeeeeeep inside n ask your self about it. Is te me or society?

Natural beauty is the hottest my dear Ladies! I like n love thicky thicky with sporty shape n contour.

Today's twisted standards r making men n women do crazy shit, feel bad, anxious, left with low self esteem, etc.
If by any case u don't find someone beautiful or preety, whatever... if it is not hurting anyone. Help, encourage if u can, or shut the fuck up.
This World is already fucked up, to much, only by us humans. Saying anyone is fat, ugly, stupid... blabla is not going to make it better

Like with anything else, men are not a monolith. Just like how women or anyone else is not a monolith. Some men like girls with thick thighs, others don't.

As for me personally... it doesn't matter much as long as I like the person. In general like with most things I'd pick something in the middle. Not too thick, not too thin either.

If I'm forced to pick one of two extremes though, I'd guess I'd go with thick because soft equals nice.

I have always loved thick thighs on a woman. I love grabbing them and powerfully caressing them when I am intimate with a woman. It is very hot. I love to lick and kiss them as my mouth goes to work.. Also am very open sexually and when I do give a woman control makes her way more sexy and powerful looking.

Papisongo · Answer

Shapely thighs, big or small, are sexier to me than breasts. From a strictly practical standpoint, in my extensive personal experience, women with bigger hips, thighs and buttocks are almost always a whole lot more enjoyable in bed than their more slender, bikini-model counterparts. While never an issue for me personally, the curvier gals are usually a bit snugger down there as well, so smaller guys might want to take that into consideration.

Constatine · Answer

Personally i don't like girls who look they can break when you hold them tight.

So guys do... I don't. A bit more thighs and roundings looks great. Also i have the experience that the bit more rounder girls except them self more.. i don't know why but. So yeah i will go for the fuller rounder girl with more roundings..

LickwidSkie · Answer

A lot of men absolutely love thick thighs. I'll take a curvy woman over a scrawny one any day. You have to consider that features like thick thighs, butt, and breasts are defining features of the female form. Of course men are attracted to them. I love a little pudge on a woman's stomach too. Women with some meat on them are so sexy and soft is so much better to hold.

MCheetah · Answer

I prefer "thick" women with thick thighs, sure. "First I'd like to clarify, I mean thick, not fat."

hahahmm · Answer

Well, yeah. Because that is a trait of women & not men and it happens that traits unique to females will be attractive to men but for some reason a bunch of homosexual fashion designers & butt ugly feminists have tried to convince people that men want women with unisex/male body features. Most men do not.

ThobinHood · Answer

Hi, I'm a male and yeah over the course of my life, thus far, yeah.
The women I tend to have dated, I'd say 80% of them had bigger thighs.
Only a few who had a rather slender build.

I think a thicker thigh is quite appealing, but hey, to those who may not have, or think they do not have the 'thicker thigh' look, ask your boyfriend what he thinks of them or maybe a friend.
Maybe she or he could help out.
Also, hey, do not sweat it if you are young, and hey, I mean under 30 too. If you are younger than 30 etc, do not sweat it, you are still young... just be happy with the way things are at the moment and live yah life.
After 30 well I hear it happens anyway. Women tend to thicken up in the thighs and at.
Thanks for the question, I like answering these.

Embrace your thickness. Small waist with thick thighs means you got the perfect thigh-to-waist ratio. Usually it also means you got wide hips and a fat ass.

This really depends on personal preference, and what someone means and thinks when they say thick thighs. Because thick for some people just means fat, but some say that to just "thick" thighs, that is muscular to a point.
