Skeleton Hands?

Does anybody else have super skinny hands and small wrists?
Every now and then someone will comment on how skinny my hands are and that they look gross. Sometimes I'm even freaked out by them. And my knuckles are very boney as well. Is there anything I can do (besides gaining weight) to make them look more feminine? I have pictures of them in my profile.
This is probably a dumb question but skeleton hands aren't sexy.

    I think your hands are lovely, but then I love the look of long slim fingers - I have them too (along with ridiculously tiny wrists for my large frame) and my hubby refers to them as my witchy hands. Mine do have a bit more muscle than yours which I put down to hours of piano practise every day when I was in my teens and early 20s. But other than learning to love them or taking up the piano in a really big way I doubt there's anything you can do. I say paint those pretty nails, buy some gorgeous rings and show those lovely long fingers off.

    My sister has hands like that. They look fine. It is just the way they are at your current weight.

    Lol. I get commented on how small my rings are all the time. I wear a 4 3/4 in ring size. Whenever I get married its going to be difficult to get the ring I want to fit. I have tiny wrists as well. I had a cyst once on the top of my wrist, and the DR said typically they don't poke out so bad and are not noticeable, but because I have tiny wrists, he said mine looked huge. Yikes!

    Trust me, no guy will ever say...she's hot, but her hands are way too skinny. There isn't much you can do to change the structure of your hands (which are fine, by the way).

    I have relatively small wrists compared to my hands. I've always had chubby fingers, so I can't relate to that. Sorry.

    So annoying having people pick out obvious things about yourself that you hate. :smile:

    You have a gorgeous body, beautiful face and any man who wouldn't love to have your hands and fingers raking his back doesn't like girls!

    I also have skinny hands, but gaining weight will make them bigger only if I get borderline overweight, so no thanks.

    I think think Grim Reaper fingers are hot, lol. I love fingers that are long and thin, so elegant. Mine are naturally like that and I expect them to get even more defined as I lose weight. Embrace those bad boys!

    Haha, thanks everybody. :smile:
    I just gotta learn to embrace these "grim reaper" hands of mine. :wink:

    my wrists are so small.. and they feel fragile. :/ my ingers are short but thin so I guess that looks fine. I don't particularly like my hands but there's not much I can do about it so meh xP they work, that's all I need.

    You need to change the people you hang out with honey, how rude!

    Take up a musical instrument, most musicians have long, elegant fingers - or just hang out with musicians!

    You know, what's funny is that if I ball my hands into fists, they're nearly the same size width as my wrists. It looks like someone just cut my hands off. >_> It's seriously the most non-threatening thing ever, lmao.

    You're too kind! lol It's mostly my younger siblings, close friends, and random acquaintances but yes, it's still rude.
    And I play guitar. It is indeed an advantage to have long fingers. :smile:

    I love my skinny hands, my rings are even too small for my teenage daughter and she is proper slim.

    Lmao, same here! Even if I were a black belt I would be so non-threatening. :laugh:

    I have extremely long, thin fingers. My boyfriend calls me "aye aye". I love the way they look, and think yours look nice too.

    I got my long and bony fingers and tiny wrists from my mother. I like them though.

    Your hands are fine :smile: mine are small, but a bit muscular from playing piano when I was younger.

    Just carry on playing the guitar to your heart's content!

    I think if someone said to me, Ew, your hands look skinny and gross, my response would be 'F you for being so rude!'

    They look much like mine as far as the tendons etc. show. I much prefer them now than the chunky ones I used to have.

    Mine look just like yours. They don't look as bad as you think. :smile:

    I'm always amazed though, how there's no fat on my wrists at ALL, but my thighs are huge.

    I feel your pain. I've always said there's a black hole on my *kitten* that sucks up all the fat, redistributing it to my thighs/bum in an even formation.

    It SUCKS! It's so not fair that we can't spot reduce or shift it around somehow. lol
