How did thigh gap become popular?
It didn't become popular. There is a small group of people who want to be seen as special. After a while a few of them got the idea to turn something which they didn't like about themselves into a news item. They didn't have a lot of curves compared to other women around them and there was no easy way to get curved in a short time.So the plan was born to glorify the skinniest thighs possible as something EVERYONE woman should have to be fashionable. And if a few "celebrities" embrace this fad (they will do everything to show how hip they are) without giving it due consideration, a new rage is born. Well, that's what they want us to believe anyway. Yeah, starve yourself into exhaustion, while you exercise your biceps to look like The Hulk. Very logical all these steps.
What is a thigh gap? is it a good thing?
This is something that is quite recently becoming more and more popular, the obsession for it is crazy, women; mostly young woman make it their goal to 'get' a thigh gap but it's a real problem. If you have wide hips then you can get a thigh gap by doing various exercises and eating certain foods, some already have a thigh gap and this is down to their body build. But if you don't have wide hips then this means you might not be able to 'get' a thigh gap. You can test by pinching one of your thighs and if you can pinch alot then this means you have more thigh fat and possibly not very wide hips which will make it hard or even impossible to have a thigh gap. Personally i dislike thigh gaps and this is because i just don't think it looks attractive and it makes people look slightly underweight and ill looking and also the fact that young woman make it their goal and sometimes take it to the extremes to where they are causing more damage to their body than good and i see this all the time on tumblr; it's tragic. But anyways i hope this helps :)
What is a thigh gap? Why are they good or bad?
A thigh gap is the empty space between your thighs.Girls like thigh gaps because they think it makes them look skinny and desirable according to societal standards and the people they follow on Instagram.Coming from someone with a thigh gap, there are a few drawbacks:My puppy won't sit on my lap because his legs slip through.My phone and TV remote has fallen through more than once - you really can't set much down on a thigh gap.People think I look starved.Wearing denim shorts makes me look like I have a cameltoe sometimes lol.Thigh gaps are overrated. I'm not saying I don't love mine. I do, because it matches the rest of my body and I'm confident with myself. I'm just saying, why go through the trouble of modifying your body to look like an Instagram model instead of yourself? We should be comfortable in our own skin - regardless of the trends that our society tends to establish. :)
I have a thigh gap..?
okay so my whole family is naturally thin and tall. my brothers are, my parents, etc. im 14 & 6 feet tall and i weigh 120lbs. i try to gain weight constantly and i put on 10 lbs and you cant even tell. ive tried so hard to gain more weight but i cant. lately ive been seeing a lot of people hating on thigh gaps and im really insecure about it. like i have broken down and cried about it. i vent to my friends about it sometimes but all they say is that im lucky that i have a thigh gap but i think its gross and unhealthy. im underweight and i constantly try soo hard to change how i look because so many people are tweeting things about how thigh gaps are gross and you shouldnt try to get one. also, im sure that the boys dont like thigh gaps either. how can i deal with this? like should i try to gain weight still or just learn to deal with it?
Why do women want the thigh gap so much?
I have no idea, and this is coming from someone who has a thigh gap. I have never had any benefits from it, and there is also no negative side. Nobody has ever said anything, and guys I've talked to don't know what it is, and if they do, could not care less. To answer your question more specifically, women want thigh gaps because it makes them seem "skinnier", whatever that is to them. The thing is, it is physically possible to have a thigh gap and rather "fat" thighs. I know because I am living proof. Women don't just want thigh gap; they want the full set. The small thighs to go along with it. Like I said before, I have no idea why women desire them because it is nothing you should flaunt and be proud of, but it isn't something to be ashamed of if you have it naturally.
Is it bad that I have a thigh gap?
Not it's not bad at all. A lot of people want to have a thigh gap and it's now become a fad. I have a thigh gap too, but it's natural and I was just born like that. If it's natural and that's who you are then that's fine as long as you are healthy and happy, and comfortable in your own skin. Just be yourself, and remember everybody is beautiful in their own way :) xoxo
