So I can squat heavier weight easier.
You'd also get the added bonus of having jeans fit your waist and quads! (Most all men that are muscular have this problem, I'm just assuming you do to).
My quads aren't as much a prob since I'm a low bar squatter so my quads get a touch less work than if I was a high bar'.
You are correct, my challenge is finding jeans that fit my glutes, hips, adducters, and upper thighs for how tall I am.0 -
I'd never heard of this until this thread. This seems appropriate:

I never heard of hip dips until this post...ya learn something new every day!!!
Now that I have looked into them, I definitely have them...and I looked into a list of exercises to lessen them and they are the things I already do, so I don't think mine can be exercised away!!!2 -

Hip dips are indented areas on either side of your hips. Some people are bugged by them. Other than that, some women want to develop a curvier hip area in general.
I had no idea this was even a thing. Now there's a new "flaw" women are supposed to care about? Please.

I feel like I am being quoted as having a problem with hip dips. IDGAF about them, to be clear. I was only answering the question of what they are.1

I've always had a very scrawny and boyish figure. I just want to get more curvy figure in general. I'm not just working on my hips: I'm working on my arms, core and butt as well.0

What are your stats? Do you still have weight to lose? I would definitely follow a progressive lifting program, one focusing on the lower body/glutes like Strong Curves is a popular one0 -

Also had to google what "hip dips" were...luckily, this was the first article I opened

Well, there's not really a muscle in the "hip dip" area so it can't really get larger. Your best bet is to strength train and slim your waist so your hips appear fuller. However there are some extremely fit women who are just naturally straight waisted. Look at Anna Renderer from PopSugar, she's incredibly fit, does everything, and has narrow hips.
The only practical way I know of to get that curve is to stand like you were on the red carpet with one foot crossed in front of the other. Voila, problem solved.0 -

It's just how our bodies are built despite all of the photoshopped images of women splashed everywhere which might make one think otherwise. Embrace your figure and exercise for health/happiness if you want to/are able. Don't sweat the small stuff1

I found out about this problem when my coworker oh-so-casually mentioned that he couldn't find jeans to fit his tight *kitten*. "They just split open because my quads are so big!"0 -

Oh so you definitely do not want to lose more weight.
Depending on your bodyfat % I would either eat at maintenance and recomp or perhaps consider a bulk (eating in surplus) to grow4 -
Well I never knew about this thing and now that I have lost weight I have them. I was wondering what it was all about I used to have a full hip area. Now I know ... and knowledge is power!1

I have always had them regardless of weight or exercise. I used to be very self-conscious of them (and more self-conscious in general). Only one person, my ex husband, has ever remarked negatively on how I'm shaped (tells you one reason why he's now "ex").
Now I kind of like them or at least accept them as part of who I am and how I'm shaped.3 -
I happen to think my hip dips make my thighs look bigger, in a good, strong way. I'm just going to pretend that this is what AC/DC was referring to when they sang about American thighs.6
