    Also my waist is 22" but I have smaller hips that make my waist look less small.

    What is the actual point of this. Seems like you just wanted to post some photos up of yourself and have people comment on them.

    Well you achieved that..

    Anyway, you could do with some heavy weight lifting 3-4 times a week

    My measurements are 36-22-33 bust-waist-hips dimension or 34-22-33 shoulder-waist-hip dimensions. I have always gotten that I'm an hourglass with most body shape calculators though either way. I know I'd be a neat hourglass as oppose to full because I'm petit. I also have a balanced body shape. I think I have high hips because my lower "curves" are from the top of my hips and pretty banana like. I look boxy in most clothing because it doesn't cynch in the right area. So what body shape am I?

    didn't we already answer this question for you last year? like, 4 or 5 times?
    No. I actually just signed in today. I've never been to this website before.

    You just signed up today and you've made 40 posts?...Something seems fishy here.

    Hourglass tend to gain on legs first. Which makes sense considering the stereotype of the image. It is characterized by wide shoulders small stomach and wide hips. One of the most idealized figures probably because of the even proportions. Good health wise as gaining weight stomach first isn't the healthiest option.
    I've got hourglass and have learned the easy weight gain and loss of that. You could be pear but you seem most like hourglass.
    You are well proportioned, beautiful and healthy and honestly that is what matters most.

    Do women really spend this much fekking time trying to figure out their body shape?

    Some do, apparently. I personally think it's a bit pointless and ridiculous. Arbitrary labels/definitions are arbitrary.
    My body shape is potato. Female potato.

    I find it really helpful for clothes shopping to know my shape. It's not like some label that makes one be a part of some club or anything. It just helpful for, you know, things like jeans and dress shopping, avoiding looking frumpy by not picking styles that are better suited for women of other body types.

    So, no, not pointless or ridiculous or arbitrary.

    My theory is that the whole banana, pear, apple, etc. crap doesn't exist. My measurements indicate I'm a pear shape but pears are also supposed to gain in their butts, hips and thighs more easily. I don't I gain on my tummy and arms most. So it's a lot of quack.

    I don't see why your bone structure and typical weight gain patterns would have much to do with each other.

    I've, honestly, always seen it as just another thing magazines do to tell us what to wear. My measurements never really matched up to any of them. So, where do I fall?

    Not all women. Although, magazines would have you thinking so.

    I actually have a high muscle mass that's why my body fat is so low.

    Not really if I wanted to do that I'd also show before pics.

    You can always use body shape calculators

    I think I prefer these two for advice on how to dress my figure in combination.

    Also advice in the inverted triangle on how to make hips and shoulders align since my hips are an inch wider than my hips.
