My wife has a thigh gap but I don't think it is needed in women. I like strong looking thighs personally.

now we need pics of your wife

Just sayin'. And for the brain-dead, definitely NSFW.

Being a skeleton to achieve it is not hot. Nor is being vain about it. And that pretty much excludes every single teenage girl alive. But a 20-30 year old woman with some meat on her bones, a nice ass, and dat gap = hot. There's no two ways about it. It's sexy. See also the chive link.

wtf is wrong with ppl. how the fuck is this a thing

^^ I understand women have naturally higher body fat than men, but anybody who eats right, lifts weights (especially who do squats and dead lifts) will not have fat upper thighs that touch.

I guess you're not well schooled in genetics.

I emailed the author of that to let her know to stop putting pics of fatties up online.

Basically every hot chick on television would fail your standards. Hip/thigh are typically wider than shoulders on a woman - the opposite is a defining characteristic of a masculine body.

Perhaps, I should have said where you hip bone is location. IE: your love handles. The girl in the OP has the mid section version of kanckles. She ain't in shape.

I had never heard of this. I just asked me GF who's 28 and she said girls used to talk about it all the time in middle school. Go figure. Never knew.

If your thigh isn't thicker than my bicep, it's pretty disgusting.
Hell, they should be at least as big as my calves.

And that usually makes them touch, if you have straight legs (instead of Os) and a hip that isn't was wide as the Mississippi.

I have a thigh gap. I'm sexy naked. But I'm a dude, is that wrong?

Don't hate him because he hates women that don't look like men.

I was blown away the first time I heard of this concept a few years ago, watching someone critique prospective models' bodies.

I am definitively anti-gap. Not saying there aren't super hot skinny women with a gap, just that for me, 2nd only to a big shapely ass is having a nice thick set of thighs too. For that plump "V" antigap.

You may want to ask your parents to turn off your NetNanny...there was nothing remote to a fattie on that page.

What controversy? Women are insane and it's women causing the insanity.

Cute, yes. However, I think a little on the too thin side for me.
