      “Thigh gap” doesn’t typically happen at a healthy weight. That’s usually a sign of being underweight.

      Do people still talk about thigh gaps? I know there’s still an unhealthy obsession with being underweight, but I thought that went out of style with Kony 2012.

        There are a few people that would naturally get them at a healthy weight but yea… thigh gaps are usually a sign of an eating disorder.

        A lot of the body types that are considered attractive at any given time in history (which varies over time) are quite unhealthy ones as well. Just think of the anorexic supermodels of the 1990s or the corsets that restricted breathing for an hourglass figure.

        Conversely, ask any stripper, and they’ll tell you it’s the girls with more common body types that get the most tips. The explanation is usually that these girls look more attainable.
