Why are girls obsessed with having a “thigh gap”? my girlfriend sent me this and asked me if I noticed it? I’m confused and don’t know what it is?

[Anonymous]

She sent me this photo and asked me if I noticed it. I’m confused

[Cynicaldreamer]

A thigh gap is a space between your thighs that supposedly signifies being "fit or skinny." Basically if you have one, you're fit. If not, you're overweight-

Isn't being a woman is so great? 🙄
We get judged on every little thing, including a space between our thighs... ridiculous.

I have one, and yes, I exercise regularly. But I'm not going to lie: I don't even think about something as nonsensical as that. I have other body parts I want to tone and get in shape that matter to me way more! Like my abs and triceps

[why_would_you_ask]

I think it is ridiculous the constant obsession with being skinny in our culture. I am barely overweight according to most people, and yet I am perfectly healthy. A thigh gap is just another ridiculous expectation placed on women for no reason at all. It is heartbreaking how many women have gone through horrible times just because some stereotype says they're not enough. Everyone is perfect for what they're meant to be.

In my experience, women that are drop dead gorgeous, will pick one feature on their face or body and magnify it into horrible. And they are always comparing themselves to each other. This gap thing is, are my thighs too fat?

[wankiam]

lots of guys like girls with thigh gaps... why? well there's no tangible reason, its merely preference in what we personally find attractive and i imagine its the same for girls in what they deem as attractive in themselves

[Asker]

Yeah thanks man. Does she have one? I feel ignorant

[wankiam]

yeah she does

[Asker]

Thanks bud. And that’s supposed to make girls feel sexier for some reason? She’s pretty skinny so I don’t know what the deal is

[wankiam]

thigh gaps to me are all about a clearly defined vaginal area to be honest... skinny girls are my preference anyway and its deffo a new trend to accentuate thigh gaps just as it was a trend a couple of years ago to have a bubble butt... either way if she is happy and feels attractive it would be a good move by you to tell her how good she looks... a happy girlfriend does make a happy relationship afterall

[Asker]

Thank you so much! Hahaha she’s definitely weight obsessed yes and my exes were never like that before. She has a bubble butt at the same time and also a thigh gap as in this picture

[wankiam]

best of both worlds then lol... yeah just tell her she looks amazing and keep her happy if thats her focus

[PrettyPriya]

I’m equally confused as to why this is important. 🤔

[Asker]

Am I ignorant or something?

[PrettyPriya]

I wouldn’t say that out of fear I am as well. Is this important to your SO? Seems like a feature that is not worth worrying about.

[nandana_n]

Same

[Razp_Sorbet]

It was a thing about a decade ago. Just another way to make women insecure. It all has to do with the shape of your hips so not everyone will have one even at their fittest.

[St37xy11]

Wow that's so old. Haven't thought about that in years. It's basically an obsession of being skinny. Because only skinny girls have thigh gaps.

[dustybiker]

Another thing for woman to judge themselves over and brag about when they nearly kill themselves to reach it.

[AmandaYVR]

Some girls obsess over being skinny enough to have a gap. It's a major point of insecurity, and a bragging right to some.

[ally018]

I think some men make it a point to say that is something they are attracted to in women. Not sure why but some guys like it. Maybe she was trying to see if that’s something you like too

[ShaTTeredMasterpeace]

Because society praises thigh gaps. When I lost a ton of weight, I had one and I became obsessed with trying to keep it.

[oobidee]

because of stupid tiktok most likely. thigh gap is nothing amazing.

[Asker]

Does she seem to have it in this picture? I’m pretty ignorant

[oobidee]

lol, yeah it appears to be there unless its photoshopped or if she's positioning her body just so, so that it appears that way. But honestly I don't see whats so impressive about a thigh gap.

[Anonymous]

thigh gaps were popular years ago, but now it's all about thick thighs 🤷‍♀️ times change. but i guarantee your girlfriend has an eating disorder or is about to.

[Wise4myage]

Well, girls with thigh gaps usually do have nice asses. Or maybe she is self conscious about her thigh gap?

[Asker]

Thanks man appreciate it I was kind of ignorant about it (none of my exes were so weight obsessed). Does she have one in that picture cause I’m confused?

[Wise4myage]

Yes it does.

[Lyndsielee666]

I wish I didn’t have one lmfao I got made fun of my whole life for that shit

[19magic]

A thigh gap is a gap between the thighs, its something fitter girls have and weightier girls don't

[Nazgol]

It was a trend to see if they're skinny enough. It's a desirable thing they want to accomplish, but some take extreme unhealthy measures

[Asker]

Does she seem to have it in this picture? I’m pretty ignorant

[Nazgol]

Hard to tell cause of her pants color and small pic

[Anonymous]

It's the guys that are obsessed with it. I've seen so many comments of horny guys mentioning it but rarely see a girl talking about it. And if she does then she does not call it "tight gap". Most like having nice, slim legs that's all

[Asker]

That was so helpful thanks so much. My girl is so weight obsessed, more than any of my exes. Does she have it in that picture? I feel so ignorant

[TexasRed95]

I have literally only ever heard women talk about a thigh gap. I have never heard any men bring it up in my life.

[standardguy]

I think that the society is that diverse that all type of body is praised by some men
so women needn't feel being under stress to get a thigh gap or big breasts or...

[Mangospacho]

I have no idea why it’s such a big deal. It literally serves no purpose. It’s like having an “ear gap” where the lobe doesn’t touch the skull.

[dudeinohio]

I consider it a turn off. Means the girl is too skinny.

[Asker]

I don’t really get the upset of it. But does she seem to have it in this picture? Cause I don’t know haha

[dudeinohio]

Yeah. She does

[Asker]

And you think it’s ugly?

[dudeinohio]

Not so much ugly.. just means she's too skinny.

[Subarugirl]

A thigh gap is where you stand with your feet together and your thighs don't touch.

[jlynn_jlw]

Shit... I'm bow legged so, even at my heaviest, I will not have one...

[Anonymous]

trust me- girls without a thigh gap r probably the ones who want it. i have one and i hate it
it makes me look even skinnier than what i already am ;_;

[TexasRed95]

I'm not sure what the obsession is. I actually find it less attractive than thicker thighs.

[Anonymous]

I like it. It just happened to be noticed as something that a lot of guys like.

[nandana_n]

I have this and I thought it's unattractive tf

[Aryanxkumar]

I Don't Know About That But She Has A Nice But 😁

[Asker]

How can you tell? Man I’m fuckinf confused I don’t know if I’m ignorant

[Aryanxkumar]

No One Can Notice It I Was Just Trolling You , Just Tell Her You've Got A Nice But Or Appreciate Her Beauty That's What She Want Ig

[Somegirl678]

i didn't know girls were obsessed with having one

[Asker]

Does she have one in this picture? I feel kind of ignorant for not knowing

[Somegirl678]

yes she does, its a gap between the thighs which some girls are usually born with. i have one

[boredguy007]

Ahhh Sandwhich 🤝

[Danisa]

Basically asking if you think she's phat or thicc

[jahaims]

Because marketing works

[2021biguy]

Guys love slim legs that look hot, that's why.

[OddBeMe]

All I can say is most guys wouldn’t care so much….

[PatrickFredo]

Yes of course she want you appreciate her

[Hangry06]

Cause trends

[Asker]

Does she have one in this picture? I feel kind of ignorant for not knowing

[Hangry06]

I think yes
You are a guy. You are not meant to know this stuff. Not all women know this

[prosmind]

It's OK.
