According to cultural commentators, the era of the thigh gap is over.
Ladies with larger thighs can come out of hiding, they say, not only because aspiring to a thigh gap should never have been a thing, but men have always been fixated with legs and they appreciate women with thicker thighs.
The era of the thigh gap is over. There is no longer a reason to hate your thicker thighs, say cultural commentators, as the era of the thigh gap is long over. Aspiring to have a thigh gap, they say, never really should have been a thing, especially as men have always appreciated women with curvy thighs.
Men love women with thicker thighs. According to evoke.ie, chances are if you have thicker thighs, you also have wider hips and a curvier body generally. Celebrities like Kim Kardashian, J-Lo, and Beyonce prove that a shapely body type is considered hot by the opposite sex.
Thicker thighs usually means bigger booty. Elite Daily writer, Alexia LaFata, says that it only makes sense that if bigger booties are in that thicker thighs are too! One goes with the other and it would be difficult to work that booty without those thighs.
Thicker thighs are stronger thighs. Thicker thighs are usually stronger thighs. This often means that ladies who own a pair have more stamina on the dance floor.
Strong is the new skinny. Strong is also the new skinny, says La Fata. This is not only inspiring, she says, but also beautiful.
Women with thicker thighs often more bedroom confident. When it comes to bedroom confidence, women with thicker thighs know they can last the course, says La Fata. They are comfortable with the more challenging positions that require a lot of leg muscle like the cowgirl and standing positions, she says, and men agree that love making with a woman with thicker thighs is an awesome experience.
Science has linked bigger thighs to a healthier heart. Studies have linked thicker thighs to a healthier heart. In one 10 year study, researchers found that women with bigger things were able to regulate their insulin production better and therefore had a lower incidence of diabetes and heart disease.
Men experience pleasure looking at curvy women. According to science, men are attracted to women with thicker thighs and curvier bodies generally because they signal fertility and health. A study done by researchers from the University of Texas found that when men looked at images of curvy women, the same parts of the brain lit up that get activated when taking pleasurable drugs.
Men enjoy the company of curvy women. Another study was conducted in 2013 by researchers from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They found that women with “larger breasts, narrower waists, and bigger hips” were stared at for longer, and men also appraised these women as having more positive personalities.
Men and women see female body ideals differently. Men and women have very different views on the ideal female body, conclude researchers. Proof, they say, is that if you look at men’s magazines, the female models used are different to those in women’s magazines - and stick thin usually isn’t the look.
Not all men like the same thing. The thing to understand, says themodernman.com, is that there are men that like every kind of woman. There are men who prefer women with thicker thighs and those who like skinnier women, so there is no way that you can please everyone.
Men like women’s legs generally. Regardless of body shape and size, it would seem, men have a fascination with legs. According to Psychology Today, both contemporary culture and mass media feed “men’s fascination with women’s legs.”
Men have historically been attracted to female legs. The way legs are shown, says Psychology Today, is provocative. There is historical evidence, though, that a woman’s legs have always been able to incite “men’s carnal desires.”
Embrace those thicker thighs for YOU. Embracing thicker thighs is far from only about being attractive to men, however. There are a number of reasons why women should embrace their thicker thighs, say proponents of the body positive movement, and any other body part for that matter, that doesn’t conform to trending stereotypes of beauty.
You can love yourself even while having body goals. Once you understand that it is impossible to meet everyone’s standard of beauty, you are likely to discover that you harm yourself by not accepting and appreciating yourself just as you are. Even if you have body goals, this isn’t a reason to berate yourself, but an opportunity to enjoy the journey of getting to where you want to go.
