the thigh gap has been a "thing" for, pushing 50 yrs. Pretty much since the latter 60's when women with curves were considered attractive, moving into the 70's with the 'twiggy' look, and gaining super traction in the 90's when the whole 'heroin chic' thing got legs.  

Unfortunately, this look is largely incompatible with any women who isn't naturally tall and thin, OR any women who has any kind of muscles mass in her legs (other than the bare minimum needed to hold her upright).

who knew. Oh brother! The idea behind it was that if you had a gap in between your legs you were having sex with everyone in the neighborhood(for free). It's crazy how things change. I honestly don't care lets see how many women are going to get surgery to accomplish this look. Oh boy, not for nothing but Wiki isn't a reliable source. Would have failed a student of mine if he used that as a reference just saying.

I like thighs especially thick ones(to an extent).

 
This is probably one more thing, that will encourage U.S. males to question their sexuality.

the size of this gap. I never knew till now just how important this is to me.  

Hoot Gibson.  

Back in the 50s and 60s we had all kinds of gaps:  missle, credibility, intelligence, etc.  

Too bad this one tarried too long.
