Just a thought, but we might be worrying for nothing. As you can see from this photo of 1945 Miss America finalists, none of these women have thigh gaps. Not-a-one:

From left to right, we have 1945 beauty queens Lee M. Wieland (Miss Chicago), Barbara Lee Smith (Miss Detroit), Bess Myerson (Miss New York City), Phyllis Mathis (Miss San Diego), Gloria Naomi Bair (Miss Philadelphia), Claire Thibadeau (Miss Boston), and Frances Lanell Dorn (Miss Birmingham). [Photo via News-Record.com]

The picture above made it to the front page of Reddit today (simply titled “Miss America 1945 Contestants”) and I was pleased to see someone else commented on the post with the same thought I had:

“None of them are thin by today’s standards. Not a ‘thigh gap’ among them.”

At this point in our lives, we’re all pretty familiar with the kinds of people to whom we’re attracted.

We have a preferred hair color, a preferred personality type, and a set of deal-makers (“You hate Pitbull, too?!”) and deal-breakers (“His breath smells like someone crawled into his mouth and died. I can’t.”).

When someone has walls up, it’s always for a reason, but the possibilities for that reason are endless.

Perhaps you are cynical since so far, everyone you date seems to be the same — disconnected, unremarkable and incapable of making a lasting impression. Maybe you suffer from generalized anxiety and, therefore, find it difficult to enjoy the moment.

It could be you’ve dealt with so much rejection that the opposite concept (someone choosing you) is nothing but a figment of your imagination. It may be you’re so used to being disappointed that when you finally meet someone different, you doubt he or she is for real.
