What's the deal with thighs?

This one has intrigued me for awhile, and I figured this would be a good place to ask this.

Are the thigh muscles "looser" than other muscles? By that I mean, do they jiggle more?

This is hard to explain..

When I was younger (through HS) I was on the swim team in the summer, and that built up my thighs, but the muscle isn't really defined, it's just "flabby."

When I flex my leg hard and shake (haha), it doesn't jiggle (it doesn't really flex, it just "hardens"), and I am wondering if that is muscle or fat?

It intrigues me because usually you can tell if you have musle mass or fat at a particular area by flexing.. The muscle usually tightens and "flexes."

With my thighs, it seems that testing method is thrown out the window. When they are dormant they seem fat-like and "jiggly," yet when flexed they won't jiggle anymore when shaken, yet they aren't really defined either.

Maybe some of you can relate to this.. Maybe not.

It's something I have wondered about for quite some time, but is also something you can't really bring up over dinner at a fine restaurant (hehe), so I am pleased to find a place where people can read this and possibly post their thoughts.

Thanks!
