Is it just me or is "almost every woman you meet trying to claim they have 'thick thighs' as a trend?"

TL;DR If the rest is too long, what I mean is EVERY woman I meet, regardless of how skinny or chubby is claiming to have "thick thighs," even if their thighs are super skinny and not thick at all. It seems like some sort of trend, and I'm wondering where it came from...

I've noticed this, and I found it kind of funny and ridiculous...on one hand it's good to normalize a greater variety of body types rather than just glorifying super skinny supermodel body types; but on the other hand I think it's kind of silly to claim your body is one thing when it's clearly another. Like a person with a small nose claiming to have a big nose, or vice versa. Or a person with brown eyes claiming to have green eyes, or vice versa. You get the point.

Basically EVERY woman I know is claiming to have "thigh thighs," even if they're super skinny and clearly do NOT have "thick" thighs. Like I'm talking women who are only like 100 pounds maximum or below with obviously very skinny arms and legs claiming they have thick thighs.

This is not to shame skinny women who have thin thighs or anything like that, but it's kind of silly to claim you have thick thighs when they clearly aren't thick at all.

Vice versa it'd be just as ridiculous too...aka women with clearly very big and full thighs claiming that their thighs are "too small" or "very thin."

I'm just sort of wondering WHERE and WHY this "trend" started...

@Pretzel Please don't open up that can of worms lol!
@Pretzel Ah yes...thigh gap...beauty standards are always changing, huh?

And believe me, I've been on the internet a LONG time...I looked it up, and...I don't really regret it, I've seen worse shit out there, haha.

I don't think I've ever come across anything TRULY disturbing on the internet...definitely no child porn or anything like that, and THANK GOD for that. And I've even been on 4chan which is infamous for having child porn sometimes.

I've DEFINITELY seen blood and gore, as well as just disturbing/creepy stuff in general...but thankfully nothing TRULY bad like child porn. For the blood and gore, I assume some were real, some were fake...if it was reported on the news it was most likely a real murder case, if it had no other evidence it was probably just a hoax video with really good editing and special effects.
