And a blog saying "if you dont have a thigh gap, you're fat"
But some fitness models dont have thigh gap
Wtf :/

Well I've seen overweight or chunky women with a thigh gap. And I've seen skinny girls without one.
Its about having wide hips that gives you a thigh gap , but some girls with wide hips dont have a thigh gap. Women aren't supposed to have super slim thighs since estrogen makes our fat distribution go to your legs.
Either a woman just has thicker legs (which is a good thing and related with good genetics and fertility ) or has narrow hips ( not a bad thing if they are proportionate but I can see why someone would feel bad about them as I have them myself ) . Those are the only two things it means if you dont have a thigh gap.
And honestly it doesn't matter shorter , thicker and meatier legs are way sexier. I would kill to have a thick body with big thighs and shorter legs!
Thigh gap is mostly created by bone structure. Weight is a factor, but only a small one. If one says that you are fat because you don't have a thigh gap, then they are delusional as shit.
And don't believe the dude who tells above that in Europe thigh gaps are such a big thing. I'm from Europe and can tell you that most dudes don't even know what it is. Let alone to be a prerequisite for dating/being considered fat.
Yea he sounds like a douchebag
I'll tell you a secret: he is short and probably average as fuck looking (by other posts I have seen from him). π Wouldn't really date him if I met him.
Let me quote my boyfriend on the topic of thigh gaps:
Him: What's that?
Me: *shows him*
Him: Wasn't it only a thing for the Japanese?
Lmfaooo you're probably right ππ
I agree with you on everything except for the Europe thing. I understand you're trying to make her feel better, but Europe is a big continent filled with many different countries which break down into many states. Thigh gaps might not be a big thing in part of Europe that YOU live in, but it could be a big thing in the part of Europe that HE lives in.
Douche or not, you can't generalize an entire continent just because you live in one state within that continent.
That's like me saying all Americans hate burgers. And I know that's just because I live in one state inside of America. It's too broad of a generalization and it just sounds ridiculous.
You have a point, but I can't really imagine a nation that's so obsessed over something like thigh gaps.
In both cases if you put calipers on those women they would fall into the obese bodyfat %. The first woman's thigh gap is formed by her swim suite pushing out the fat on her legs. The gfs that I had/have that have a true gap have a truly wide pelvis and thinner legs. It really is as much about frame/pelvis as it is bodyfat. My thin tall girlfriend has almost 3" feet together; but she is 6'3" and thin. Short girls rarely have gaps unless they are thin petites.
over half of these thigh gap pictures are created by pointing your feet slightly inward, moving the leg mass to the back. Even slightly obese people can easily do this. Has nothing to do with being "fat"
Its just example photos
And its a question because of blogs I've read online
@Robinrjpa thanks for mentioning the trick π a lot of people do use it.

Blogs that say that are usually trying to "trigger" people. Trolls, or pro ana's.
Most girls dont have thigh gaps. And those that seem to, pose for photos to make it seem like it.
The girl in the first photo has her feet apart, therefore she has a thigh gap.
And some girls can have their feet together, but look like they have a thigh gap by pushing their butts out.
Anyway. Thigh gaps aren't ideal.
Thigh gaps are made when you are too skinny, have low muscle mass or are poking your butt out - insta-booty/duck butt. Not having one does not mean you are fat, the girl does not have a thigh gap she simply has her legs apart. If they were together theyβd touch. The second girl builds muscle to be curvy, aka body building, her in her case booty building bc her upper body is quite small.
Not having a thigh gap does not mean you're overweight. It's all about how your pelvus bones are set. If you have wide set hips you have a larger possibility of having a thigh-gap, if you have narrow set hips you have a low we're possibility lower possibility of having a thigh gap. It has nothing to do with weight, although in some cases weight plays a part.
The second girl might be a fitness model, but she isn't particularly skinny.
And her legs are far too overworked, in my opinion.
Personally, I prefer thighs to be as thin as possible, don't like the "thicc" stuff at all.
But I'm an European, and that look isn't very popular here.
Total bullshit. It is the other way round, in a way. Skinny girls SOMETIMES have thigh gaps. Even chubby girls sometimes have thigh gaps, if they have skinny thighs.
first girl doesn't have one, if she stood with her legs together and her butt not leaning slightly back, her thighs would smoosh. its not true. very few girls have them
Um... her butt's not pointing out at all. She simply standing in a pose. If she was standing straight with her feet together yes, her thighs would probally touch.
She's walking up, hence her weight is probably leaning more towards her butt
No, she's standing posing.
Her weight is probaly all in one leg because of the way she's standing, but she's not poking her but out, or arching her back to make her but look bigger. She's simply just posing.
Slouching a little? Probably.
I personally think it's a peculiar look to have a thigh gap. There is something about a woman with full curves that is so stunning, sexy, and feminine.
could just means that the thighs have extra fat to them but you overall may not be a fat person as is my case. I hate gaps any. I love when there isn't any but just means the thighs rub which i hate.
no lol... those are some full legs on the second girl ya?
yup
and the first girl you got it all wrong lol... thats not it , its this

hope you see the difference 😜
Thats not a full thigh gap mate
The first girl does have full thigh gap
Do you know what thighs are?
Geezπ€¦ββοΈπ€¦ββοΈ
Pffft, thigh gaps are largely related to genetics or being emaciated. Just because you don't have one doesn't mean you're not thin.
A thigh gap is partially because of weight, but a greater factor, is the genetics of her body, particularly her hips structure.
totally false! yes how much fat you have on your body does come into place, but your bone structure is a huge factor
I wpuldny say theyre fat but theyre certainly not skinny.
So what if theyre not skinny?
Why do you think all females must be skinny?
Wtf π€¦ββοΈ
It doesn't mean you're fat lol wtf. Don't listen to what "everyone else" says. Comes back to the old saying "If your friends told you that you could fly, would jump off a bridge?" Obviously not because you have common sense. Use common sense.
A lot of girls I know don't have a thigh gap and they're definitely not fat
Absolutely
According to my mother, true, because muscles make look fat.
in my opinion, false.
Honey, no non-delusional person cares about thigh gaps
Yes. Let's do some navel-gazing over some subject that is tiresome and irrelevant.
If true then does that mean I women that lost one leg could be called fat?
Technically if she had no legs. They her thigh gap is nonexistent, she would be the skinniest person ever.
False, it just means she has skinny thighs and/or narrower hips
