I can remember when I first told my boyfriend about the thigh gap and subsequently put him through the thigh gap test. My bemused beau obliged and to our surprise, he was indeed sporting a pretty sizable thigh gap!
You may be able to relate as you stretch, tone and do copious amounts of cardio in an attempt to winnow down those legs or keep your gap from closing and then catch a glimpse of your boyfriend of guy friend scarfing down pizza while his gap remains firmly in tact.
By the way, what should we call it? Man Gaps? Guy Gaps? Let me know your preferred or most creative terminology in the comments section.
As I cover in my book, it’s easier for some people to get thigh gaps than others (although anyone who is determined can get one in a healthy way). Men included possess thigh gaps if their hips are wider and legs are on the skinnier side. They also tend to hold their weight in their stomachs as opposed to their legs, which as it turns out is more dangerous for your health but easier to lose.
I’ve also had a lot of male customers who have used my protocols successfully (Hey, guys like skinny jeans too).
Here are a list of well known guys whose stems you can totally be envious of.
# 1 Adam Levine –
The Maroon 5 singer and The Voice Judge has a pretty lean frame and as can be seen here in slim fitting jeans, is sporting a thigh gap.
# 2 Harry Styles – Member of the popular all boy band ‘One Direction’, Harry Styles, is seen here in a before picture with no thigh and after with slender legs.
His hips don’t look particularly wide to me! If he can do it, so can you!
3. Jared leto – Fresh off of his Oscar win, Jared Leto has always been a pretty slender guy. Here’s gorgeous, rich and successful – and yup, has a thigh gap to boot. Some guys get all the luck!
4. Penn Badgley – Known as Dan Humphries on the series, Gossip Girl, which I haven’t watched in forever, Penn is also a part of the thigh gap club.
5. Eddie Redmayne –I know him as the hot guy from Les Miserables, but apparently he’s an an English actor, singer and model. Triple threat. Add one more to that list of talents – man gap advocate.
6. Zac Efron –
7. Ashton Kutcher –
8. Joseph Gordon Levitt –
9. Ryan Gosling – 
10. Andrew Garfield –
makes sense!
Why should it be called something else? A thigh is a thigh no matter the sex. Plus, men have “something” in between their legs that women don’t so it only makes sense that they have thigh gaps too if not more frequently than women.
Seriously, who the hell cares. thigh gaps are okay, but no thigh gap is also okay. With body image issues and their deadly effects becoming more and more common these days, articles like these are extremely destructive. And no, it’s not the pictures or the idea of the article that’s the problem – there’s nothing wrong with plain facts with no implications – it’s your wording that needs to be reassessed. Do not use guilt and examples to emotionally pressure people into getting something so useless and unnecessarily difficult – and potentially life-threatening – to obtain. It’s manipulative, cowardly and disgusting.
fun read thanks! lol 🙂
