Do men prefer thicker or thinner thighs?

Question

I have had thick thighs my whole life, and everyone calls them fat. It wasn't until recently that I've come to terms with it and stopped trying to lose weight. Do men genuinely like thick thighs on women, or are they just saying that to make us feel better? I always see men say "Oh thick thighs are so attractive" online but never in real life.

Well, i used to have skinny thighs most my life until i got prego.

It really depends on the man.

Thick thighs that show off a flat tummy, curvy ass, and display that womanly mound distinctly, guys see to really like.

When the thighs are a little too thick, it makes it harder to have sex for a guy. Mostly coz they get in the way, and some of us cannot bend our legs as far as we did when we were thinner.

Thin thighs guys notice usually becoz we have a skinny butt, flat tummy, often a sunken tummy with protruding hipbones, either a totally flat mound or a full protruding one, and that Thigh Gap! and a Bikini Bridge.

Skinny thighs don't usually get in the way of sex, are easy to push the legs back or apart more coz they bend better, and most girls with skinny thighs are longer bodied, so the guy can put them over his shoulders better.

The key is to accept yourself, know no matter how many hours you put in at the gym, diet til you want to eat Something, some times our body is our body.

I found a man that liked me with skinny thighs, no boobs, no hips, no butt.. but after i had 2 babies, he was honest and told me he prefers me chubby.. thighs and butt especially. and i went from a small B cup boob to DD to E due to nursing babies..

I was mad at him for telling me he liked me skinny, when he prefers thicker. He said he was telling me it becoz that is what he Thought I wanted to Hear.

arggghhhh...

Lmaooo men prefer everything exactly the opposite of their women is!
Rarely any of them is willing to accept their woman as they are and not drool over someone else.
You could be perfect af in every sense, and they’ll still find something to compare and whine about. 🥲👀

Sometimes thick thighs look good and sometimes not. Depends on the person. For example if you have thick thighs because you're actually just very fat, you really shouldn't be obsessing over your thighs! You're not at the level where that would be productive at all! Focus on becoming healthy first.

Assuming you're healthy, thick thighs are most likely just a feature of your body type. For most people, preferences in potential mates will just kick in, because some guys like thick and some like thin. But if you REALLY want to optimize, you might consider looking at how your thighs can look best on you. For example, if you have big thighs and a small and out-of-shape butt, that could still look attractive. Like maybe you have really nice hips or something. But if you worked out your butt a little, it might make your whole lower body pop in a really hot way.

I don't know what you look like so it's hard to say, and even then my opinion is just mine. But what's important is to observe the though process behind it.

Pro tip: PLEASE dress for your body type. That really matters and you can only dress for your body type if you know what it is and maybe even admit what it is.

Depends on the guy but... for some strange women very few women have any clue about what guys really want in a woman so they get fixated on random stuff or go way overboard on the wrong thing.

Just don't be lazy. Don't have any weird diets. Live an active lifestyle (exercise), eat right (less heavily processed foods, less booze). Your body will then look right. It might not look exactly like a random female friend of yours but it will still be right. Pro tip: pick fitness/sport stuff that involves moving the legs and arms a lot over ones where you just drive down the block to order a sub sandwich. Getting in and out of cars does not count as exercise.

And if you want a serious relationship, your personality/character is just as important or more important than your looks. But you still better be fit if you want the best options.

Rab1901 · Answer

I read your description, and if people are calling them fat, then it's most likely not the same as the thick that men find attractive. Are those people mean? Maybe but if there are a lot of people saying it, then it's more than likely not as attractive as it could be. I wouldn't be able to give a proper assessment without seeing them though. Some guys might still find it attractive because all men are different, but if you want to know about the majority, I think most guys like thighs to be thinner than the average American woman but not super model thin, and yes I do too.

If that pictures you you have very hot ties you have a very hot body if you want thighs like that commit yourself to 30 minutes a day 430 days walking at a fast pace your size your whole body will tone up so well even your nose will tone up that it has to be at a fast pace stop drinking sodas or juices with sugar in it drink more water eat a better diet fruits if you want guys that are hot you have to work for me just like anything else in this world the do it and if you do do it which I doubt you will because nobody on here as taking this advice but take some before and after pictures and I guarantee you you will see a major difference and you will be healthier and happier

DonRollins · Answer

Definitely Thin or toned.

It's more important that her body is proportionate, but I'd say I'd much prefer thin thighs, especially inward curvy ones, with a full round butt but strong calfs. My favorite is women built like a kickboxer. Rose Namajunas or Paige Vanzant is a good example. Otherwise probably Emma Roberts or Angie Varona when she young.

Proportionate or body type matters more to me. Look up body types if you don't know what I mean.
"Lean Column", "Neat Hourglass" or "Inverted Triangle" are my absolute favorite. Definitely shows with all the girls i've dated. Even the 6 feet tall viking girl I dated had that thin thigh, strong calves look.

I don't know what they like but i want toned yet thick thighs like this. But squats hurt like a mf 😭

CuriousJC · Answer

It's not really what the meaning men likes, is what the woman feels comfortable. Woman can have thin chicken legs or the woman can have thick turkey legs, I don't know about the rest of these people on here but; it doesn't really matter what type of legs the woman has. Regardless if she has invulnerable hard steel muscle type of legs, it's really up to the woman if I'm allowed to eat those legs.

Miristheiss · Answer

As long as the girl is fit I like both.
Some girls are naturally thicker and fuller and curvier but they are still fit. Flat tummies, taught skin. Both thick/curvy girls and slender/petite girls are attractive. No preference.
If the girl is actually fat, stomach roll, back rolls, cellulite on the thighs then I probably won't be too physically attracted.

I'd have to see the "thick" to say for sure.

Wester1967 · Answer

I like flat butts. Within BMI. ... BMI is not a joke. Scream and complain about it all day long. If it's an inaccessible holy grail, then forget it. Level down. Leave me alone. I want a non GMO non fake butt, fit, feminine, friendly woman within normal BMI. Thigh shape or thickness has nothing to do with it.

GreekFlames · Answer

Personally I prefer thin thighs because I like thin girls. Since lots of fat deposits are present in the thigh region, a thick thigh is indicative of an overweight person. If the girl is thin in the waist and calves and arms but only her thighs are thick, then that's also good for me.

MisteryMe · Answer

Different guys like different things. Personally, I like curvy women. I'd much rather a woman have "a little too much" weight on her than to be flat and boney. So yes, some guys do prefere thick thighs.

Jerry39451 · Answer

Both. I just want to love someone for who they are and not what they look like. Unfortunately those feelings aren't reciprocated in today's world. It is all based on looks.

Im half Venezuelan and so I have thicker “Latina” type thighs and I do cycling as well which makes it worse because they’re muscular too. It’s something I’m insecure about too but I’ve come to learn it’s my body and genetics and I can’t change that.

tiajoka · Answer

Hmm mine are called thick, as they're a lot bigger than other girls are; but proportionally speaking they're just on the mark. Because I'm tall with a long torso and shorter legs, it makes me a bit on the thicker side for the legs.

soe11 · Answer

To be honest I like thinner, because my girlfriend should be exposing her her thighs when she dressed up.
My current girlfriend is slim tight and thinner thighs.
I love her styles of dressings, ethics, attitude and etiquette.

If that thickness is muscle with a thin layer of fat that is tight. Then thicker is better by far. If it's the more common overweight, then thinner
