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...

I once told a woman she wasnt thicc.. after she said she was, because she was a perfect 120lbs and just really well proportioned for her body type, she flipped out called me every kind of name and blocked me.. we were even friends for like a year before that. I will never comment in any way, positive or negative on a womans body again.. other than to use generic terms like you look good, or great or i love your this or that, but never ever be descriptive in what i think.
@soulshadow Wow...that sounds rather extreme on her end...sounds like she either had some serious mental health issues or was just extremely insecure or just really stupid, or all of the above...lol.

But yeah...in general it's not too great to comment on one's appearance, positive or negative. Generic terms is the way to go. If you WERE to comment anyway, it's "safe" to comment on external things they can control, such as: clothing, if they changed their hairstyle, if they're wearing unique earrings, etc...but any comments on their body are off limits, as well as any comments on their facial features. For hair you also shouldn't comment unless they JUST changed their hairstyle recently or got a noticeable haircut recently as well.

Even for me myself...a comment on my t-shirt or shoes would be a lot "safer," but a comment on my eyes or my smile or whatever would feel A LOT more personal...probably because the former things are things I can control, while the latter things aren't. The latter things would also be kind of creepy to hear if I wasn't already into the person.
