I am so glad turkey necks are only a woman's thing!!
I think it has to do with the fact that women have no Adam's Apple!!
This causes a layer of fat to congregate around the neck area however good news girls there is a remedy for what the Italians call "Turchia Neck "
Plastic surgery!! A small incision behind both ears and Bob's your uncle Fanny's your aunt!!

According to Stephen Fry on QI Rob, women do have an adam's apple, it's not so pronounced in some women. NL, if you put a finger either side of the bottom of your earlobe and push up - bingo - no turtle neck. Think I'm going to take the cheap option, grow my hair over my ears and put some sticky tape on my ears to pull up the excess fat :lol:
