    This story is all screwed up! The size of the thighs has little to do with the equation but it is the fact that people with "apple" shaped figures are at greater risk of heart disease, since they tend to store extra weight in the torso, not the lower body.

    It's situations where the person who is sporting an apple shape lets him/herself go and gets a gigantic pot belly that is at issue. It's people like the picture that have to be concerned, not fit and healthy folks with slim frames all around.

    These folks are the ones that need to worry:


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    Yeah, it's the belly fat that'll kill But it's the flabbidinous thighs that some of us lament day-to-day. I am personally heartened to know that my own personal thighs fall below the "national average" but not because they are sleek and muscular or anything like that. I'm just tall and gawky.

    But on a less-interesting note, the "medical studies" that make the news are usually full of confounding factors that make their "groundbreaking" results kind of well..Duh! They're fucking MEN! Men gain weight about the midsection, due to a number of evolutionary and reproductive factors, and women gain about the ass and hips for the same, but in some cases opposite, reasons. And that + (societal conditioning) men work/women stay home + men eat/ women eat low-fat= men die sooner from being fat= fat is bad for the belly because it means it's all up in your organs too, but less bad for the ass and thighs. Not to discount, there's a body of work in this area correlating abdominal adiposity in both sexes to increased disease risk but you have to beware of every "health discovery".

    Don't sweat your skinny thighs! Let's just go to the doc. He can take some of my extra thigh and give it to you. Then we'll both be safe lol
