The old idea that a woman’s personality can be read from the shape of her legs has resurfaced online, this time dressed up as “type B legs”—thighs that don’t touch, knees and ankles that do. Supporters claim the gap signals confidence, independence, and emotional balance. Skeptics roll their eyes and point to the complete absence of peer-reviewed evidence.
Body-shape typing has been around since the Greeks and pops up every few years because it offers a quick visual story: you look, you label, you feel you’ve learned something. What actually shows through posture and movement is not character but habit—years of sports, dance, desk jobs, or simply how relaxed someone feels in their own skin. That ease can read as confidence, but it isn’t stamped into bone or cartilage.
The real takeaway is simpler: stand tall, walk with purpose, and the world will decide you’re self-assured—gap or no gap. Personality is built by choices, not by the distance between thighs.
