Okay, big thighs do not literally save lives. In fact, sometimes they are pretty much the most annoying part of a girl's body. No thigh gap means chaffing, jean shorts kind of constrict blood flow throughout our legs and sometimes there is just no room on a chair. Yeah, big thighed girls have some struggles — I have been struggling since the seventh grade, wishing I could attain the much adored thigh gap that girls with smaller thighs have. However, over the years, as I have learned to adapt to the larger parts of my body, I have found some upside to the thighs I used to think plagued me. And I am not saying is it is better to have small thighs or big thighs. Both are beautiful - all bodies are beautiful. However, if you think that their are only downs to big thighs, I have to softly object.
1. Big thighs mean no bones.
Sounds weird but it's pretty great. We have some protection down there. Falling backwards isn't as scary if there is a cushion underneath us. We sometimes bounce right up like nothing happened!
2. Sitting on anything is comfier.
The extra something-something down there is also a built in pillow. Sitting during a school play in uncomfortable auditorium seats is a bit easier, and sitting on people's laps benefits both parties. Since there is no immediate bone down there, the person you are sitting on is comfier too.
3. You got some muscle down there!
Hey if we were born with all this extra room, there's gotta be something down there! Muscle! It's a bit easier to lift with the legs, and you can show off on the leg press a bit.
4. Bigger is better.
Apparently, according to many butt songs and Kim Kardashian, we are now living in the Age of Ass, so after many years of awkwardly big legs, they are now attractive. People are realizing that big is just as attractive as skinny, and we might as well celebrate the world's epiphany. C'mon, our thighs being big are pretty hot.
5. There is more to love.
We have something to grab on to. We have something extra. Might as well know that it was given to us for a good reason. We gotta use it or we lose it, so keep those thighs seen and admired. Slap them as a drum or jiggle them when you are bored, wear a tight skirt cause zayyyyymmmm, show of the god given caboose you are carrying down there. Celebrate it.
