What Men Really Think About Thigh Gaps

When we look in the mirror, we tend to focus on the parts of our body we want to change rather than the parts we should celebrate.  Many women (and men) can relate to the feeling of wanting to lose that excess weight, whether it be in the arms or thighs.  The term thigh gap, used to describe the space between your inner thighs, once dominated social media with images of users trying to achieve a sometimes impossible and unhealthy task through exercise and diet.  Since then, the hashtag #StrongIsTheNewSexy, has taken over to promote a more positive view on body image.

In this BuzzFeed video, the creators continue to promote this healthier view of the body by asking men what they think about the thigh gap debate.  Not surprisingly, all the guys agree that women look beautiful, whether their thighs are touching or not.  One man said, "Usually I am looking for what is there and not what is not there," while another remarked, "I'm imagining all the women I've had the privilege of seeing naked ... I can't recall a single thigh gap." Their humorous revelations remind us that we shouldn't obsess over our thighs (or any other parts of our body) because no one cares.  Not even the guys.
