    Came across these terms today, bikini bridge, where hipbone are so prominent that they protrude out of bikini bottoms, and thigh gap, where women do not have their thighs meet

    Any other weirdness or is this just a sign of the obsession with weight the media have?

    It would be "sign of the obsession with weight" if they took this photos while standing.

    I don't think it's fair to say a woman with a bikini bridge or thigh gap is always too skinny.

    I find it very sexy, good indication if a tight box. Especially when there's a toned stomach as oppose to skin over ribs

    Your understanding of anatomy is astounding.

    Lots of healthily slim (as opposed to underweight) women have that bikini bridge thing when lying down though. Hell, I've had it at times when lying down, and my stomach has always been my least slim part, even at my overall slimmest.
    It's mental that that and the thigh gap (again, just a normal thing when a woman is slim, not even skinny) are revered so much... :confused:

    I guess with rising obesity levels it's becoming less common. People just don't look after themselves like they used to.

    Men rarely see actual women naked I am convinced. The way they speak of women's bodies is alienlike.

    I am a skinny female. But give me an athletic girl any day.

    Bodies are individual my thighs don't meet and I have prominent hip bones largely because i have a wide pelvic bone. A very thin girl may never have a thigh gap if her pelvis is quite narrow.

    The poster who said bikini ridge is an indication of tight box has never had his penis in a vagina.

    You have the body awareness of 13 yr old boys. No wonder men can't find a clitoris.

    Stop googling body parts and sleep with more women.

    I was about to say "Ehh??", but then as I read the rest of your post, you're absolutely bang on about some men. I wouldn't consider their immaturity anything to judge the majority of men by. I've said it before though and I'll say it again - those bizarre expressions like "thigh gap", "bikini bridge", "arse dimples", etc, they're merely internet phenomena among as you say Lou.m immature men (and women!) who have a piss poor grasp of human biology.

    You're going to have to qualify how simply using terms like these is displaying a poor understanding of biology, or anatomy, more accurately. They're physical quirks that some men find attractive. Like tits or arses, just more niche.

    I don't know about the first two terms you've listed, but "arse dimples," or back dimples as I'd call them, is a term that has been in use since way before the internet became what it is today. What would you rather people call them, lateral lumbar indentations, or what?

    Some women have space between their thighs, just like some men have space between their ears.

    I thought they were the dimples of Venus.

    +1 Plenty of slim women would have such a "bikini bridge" laying down. I've known some larger women where it would be present too. Depends on their individual build and where the weight is distributed

    +1000 and rate an "importance" in reality of near zero. For a start how many of the guys commenting have the personal and social wherewithal to make such a choice in the women they go for and end up getting. Few enough.

    Indeed. Tightness like willy size varies around an average with extremes at each end and can't be reduced to a just by looking at someone formula. God knows why anyone would want to TBH.
    Stop googling body parts and sleep with more women.
    Cue some blokes googling "how to sleep with more women" and let the games begin.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    I had to actually look "Bikini Bridge" up on Google because I had never heard of it before. How odd that there's an actual term for a prominent hip bone.

    Ever wonder why a thesaurus exists.

    You must think slang is odd too.

    Oh good, I love people like you. However, I'm not going to derail this thread any further and bring it into a tit for tat conversation between the two of us. So, have fun all by yourself.
