    I'm nearly 20. Why?

    And yeah when I look in the mirror they look wider to me

    I'm not a ruler. Rulers don't have D cups or C's for that matter.

    As far as how I dress. I actually dress to eccentuate having an inverted triangle shape. But also emphasize waist. I have been trying to look for jeans that emphasize my narrow hips but emphasize my butt sometimes I just dress like how pears do's and dont's.

    Your profile says 35. Just wondered if there were was a reason it was brought up. When women have children, some of the hips get wide so I wondered if that was what you were thinking.

    And I'm a ruler and I have D's.

    thank you I need to change that

    my shoulders are 39 inches thank you very much :)

    this is how I look completely not a ruler. But I guess you're right never will be an hourglass. I'm good with that as long as inverted triangles DO have defined waists

    also when I lose weight I lose it in my hips I was a 35-23.8-32 before at my smallest. My bust stays large but my but goes down. I was thinking if I build it up with muscle and flatten my stomach then I could be 36-23-33.


    Oh.

    Welll.

    I'm gonna say you look like a ruler/borderline inverted triangle. But I might be swaying more towards ruler/banana. Sorry.


    But anyway. Back to my revolution!

    Going to agree with this ^

    And if you are a ruler, there is nothing wrong with that. Rulers do have hip definition, just not as much as say someone who is pear shaped.

    Like I said, I am a ruler and minus the fat and flab right now, I love my shape and I'm enjoying seeing it as I lose the body fat. :bigsmile:

    Let me see, how to put this...

    I prefer girls with significant "junk in their trunk." or to say it another way, much like sir-mix-a-lot "I like big butts and I can not lie."

    You do not have a big butt. You have an average butt in both width and depth.

    You're a good looking woman with good proportions, don't stress it. Every preference is some else's ideal, be happy with what you got regardless and love yourself and you'll have people of both sexes falling all over themselves.

    I didn't at all say there was anything wrong with wide hips. I just answered OP's original question.

    did I get lost? I thought the OP asked about her hips, not her butt.

    :huh: It was a general statement that, while it may be piggybacking off of your comment, was in no way meant to imply that you felt one way or anther about hips and the size of them. As far as the piggybacking goes it was simply a convenient place to make a statement, as simply stating out of nowhere with no context that there is nothing wrong with wide hips would be odd.

    To me it looks like you have small hips in comparison to your waist.

    And just curious, what does biotin have to do with it? I take biotin for my hair and skin.

    If you have to turn sideways to fit through a door, you have wide hips
    If you can stand in front of a car and make it disappear, you have wide hips
    If you knock others off the sidewalk while walking, you have wide hips

    hence the reason I said "appeared that way to me..." calm down. I was just clarifying I see nothing wrong with it.

    to me you dont have big hips at all but if you want to know enter your measurements here http://www.calculator.net/body-type-calculator.html to find out what type of body you have

    Thanks but it doesn't give me a shape. I don't fit in completely supposedly with that calculator which has been my issue I've never quite fit as an hourglass. I used my ideal measurements I'd be an hourglass that wasn't changing my hip measurement though so maybe I have the hips to be an hourglass?

    I know I don't have big hips I was just saying proportionately compared to the rest of me to my waist. I have a defined waist which made me wonder if my hips were flat small medium or big? I have a bigger butt plus I tend to gain weight on my lower half it seems as well as top. So that's why I was wondering.

    Wow, I can honestly say I've never ever thought about all of this stuff. Does it really matter???

    I'm just curious in some clothing my hips look so dang flat in others they seem to curve somewhat. As I've gained more weight by taking biotin it hasn't been helping now I look more straight up and before when I didn't take biotin and while I was still a healthy weight of 100 lbs my hips actually curved in some clothing at least. I'm wondering is it possible at all that my lower half is curved? My hips are 33" my waist is 25 trying to get it back down to 24 though. When I was really skinny I was 24-32 waist to hip ratio though. It's not a perfect ratio but its not like .8 or anything. Do I have hips at all? What body shape would you say I was?


    This is at my skinniest

    This is at my heaviest without biotin.

    Also apart of my hips actually is included with my butt which is medium to large idk if its included.

    Most of my mom's family are pears actually I thought pear was the norm.


    It used to be the average shape of American women.

    BTW, "wide hips" are different from full hips. I wasn't sure what the OP was asking.

    That calculator told me I'm a banana even though my bust and hips measurement are exactly the same and my waist is 8 inches less (ie your standard hourglass).

    I'm confuuuuuused!! :huh:
