I just don't see it as some sort of thing worth having. I'll be satisfied with a woman's appearance if she takes care of her health and is into physical fitness, same as I.

Wow, we have a topic about this? It seems some people have too much time on their hands. Okay I'm reading the F&B section, must have a lot of my own time! ... But enjoying it!

I remember reading an interview with Cameron Diaz where she talked about how she always wished she were more voluptuous and envied women who were. I can't imagine how many women on the planet wish they looked like Cameron, tall and thin, and here she is wishing she looked the opposite. I guess she came to terms with it and accepted her form. But that's just so funny to me. People really need to stop beating themselves up and accept what/who they are. Just be grateful for whatever you do have.

To be honest I would have rather never have discussed the subject with her. She brought it up, not me. I would never bring up appearance on a date. Actually her appearance would have been fine with me but we didn't get along on a temperamental level, so we quit dating.

And you can have slim legs and no thigh gap. It is all about hip width and where your leg sockets are.

Yes, this^^^. "Thigh gaps" have zero to do with thigh size. This whole issue is completely stupid. Who in the hell does a "thigh gap" matter to anyway? It's just about the last thing on my husband's list as to what he finds attractive.

I just like to go ahead and co-opt a phrase I have seen on social media:
#thickthighssavelives

LOL. (Not saying you have thick thighs gypsychic, I do though)

But usually I find that when it gets down to it, your partner is way more excited about seeing your whole leg and what's between them than any sort of gap or lack thereof.

I hope this comment won't go awry, but after seeing a pronounced case of "thigh gap" I'd rather not see that again. I prefer women who have healthy thighs that tempt me to touch them, not skinny or fat or otherwise nontypical thighs.

My main standard is physical fitness, and IMO you can get that by proper diet and exercise. I bet 95% of us could become physically fit if we all simply spent the time to do so. I'm no Adonis but it's slowly coming true for me. All of us with our basic physical health intact can work out at the gym if we really want to, and with sufficient work can get ourselves in good enough shape to be regarded as attractive by our gender counterparts.

Exactly. It's a bone structure thing. I have never had thigh gap, and I used to weigh 103 lbs. and wear a size two. I think that was safely out of "thunder thigh" territory.

I'd say many, if not most, people who have "thigh gap" are underweight and it's not a natural or healthy look. That is just my opinion.
