    I'm pretty sure large hips has been the quintessential mark of sexy ever since we were all roaming the Serengeti because it's supposed to be an indicator of fertility.

    Thanks for the feedback all. I'm really not trying to brag, and I'm still a long way from my goal and from where I would like to be. I'm still somewhat insecure about certain parts of my body, and I'm also in the process of trying to process some of the changes in my body. I'm genuinely curious about other people's opinions is all.

    And I should add that includes the positive changes as well.

    Personally I think it's very attractive. I have a pear-type body shape (small waist, large hips/butt) and it's one of the things I actually really like about my body. I've had a lot of people say they're jealous of my figure, even when I was overweight. Now that I've lost weight and my waist is small, I'm truly proud of it.

    i think if you honesty want to get to a point where you arent insecure about your body, you stop looking for validation from others on whether or not they find your body type attractive. self confidence comes from the inside, not the outside based on opinions from strangers. self confidence is when you think you are great regardless of what other people may or may not think. i honestly dont see how this type of thread can help with that since it just supports the insecurity

    I have almost a perfect hourglass shape: 35-25-26. Guys love that on me haha. (Not to sound vain, I swear!) Anyway, according to a study somewhere, most guys like it the best when a woman's waist is at a 7:10 ratio with her hips. They also like it when the waist number is smaller than seven. This is just an average, though, so take it fwiw

    Also, I personally find curves such as yours very sexy :)

    Personally i like being hourglass. I have big boobs and a big round butt but a relatively smaller waist. Im happy with my overall shape. I think more straight lean body types are beautiful too tho. The world would be boring if we all looked the same!

    i can relate to you completely - its hard not to feel insecure about my hips - right now my measurements are 36 - 25 - 38 and i would like to get the hips to a 36 at least - (its really the only thing on my body that i want to lose from) and to answer your ? about it being sexy or not - i think the majority find it very sexy :) and to be honest - as much as i complain and feel bad - like i have saddle bags and a big butt etc.. id rather have a small waist and big hips (pear or hour glass) then the apple shape - any day - lol :) so embrace it - and learn to love your curves and find clothes that accentuate them :)

    Don't be so insecure about the measurement of your hips. I'm at least 36'' and have NO *kitten*. The measurement will never get any smaller. Sounds like with a 25'' waist, you're probably close to an ideal weight anyway.

    yeah, this seems kinda obvious-- yes, people tend to find curvy women attractive. See, e.g., society.

    it would be like a guy posting-- hey, do any women find a wide chest, strong shoulders, and a V-shaped torso attractive? I don't know... hmmmm. What do you think.....

    38b 26w 37h. Guys find me absolutely hideous. In fact I am sure when I reach my goal of 38b 24w and 36h they will all be so disgusted with my figure that the only life for me will be resorting to a life of cats as a spinster. I dare day my SO will likely leave me for a girl with narrow hips and no waist ratio and likely no breasts either. Or perhaps the muffin top girl because that is also far more appealing than an hour glass (narrow waist wide hip) appearance. :noway:


    What's the next question? Are breasts interesting to men?

    Same thing here - I've now lost 6" off my waist and still nothing from the hips! The problem is finding a way to dress it so your clothes don't just go straight up and down where your body does not. Jeans can be tricky to find - but try tailored tops with a nipped-in waist and you'll learn to love it.

    I think that you are talking about pear & hourglass shaped ladies. I'm a pear and I LOVE my body type. I also feel like I get a lot of looks from men from various ages. So I would say that many men like it.

    I have maintained a 12"+ difference between waist and hips at all my weights.
    Honestly a lot of people want the hourglass look.
