    If you are over 25 and have no cellulite, I almost don't trust you. ;) also, I want to know your secrets.

    Being short-sighted helps :bigsmile:

    solution - wear clothes and only show your naked body to people who love you. if you like wearing shorts etc love yourself and care less about what other people are thinking.

    I've never seen a man with cellulite. Not even obese men.
    You need estrogen to get cellulite, so no, men (unless they have a serious hormonal problem) won't get it.

    Men have oestrogen

    much like stretch marks, its mostly genetics.

    weight loss helps some, being tan (real or fake) helps disguise it.... but theres no magic lotion or potion to get rid of it.

    There is a biologic reason most men don't get cellulite (with few exceptions) but i dont remember the details. but basically... because theyre men. LOL

    Lift weights. Deadlifts, squats. Try a program like Strong Lifts 5x5 with whole body compound lifts. I have been lifting for ~6 months and it really helps!

    Losing weight helped some, lifting helped some, but I'm 18% body fat and I still have quite a bit on my butt and the backs of my legs. I like these articles:

    eta: potentially NSFW, as there are some nude photos of people from the pre-industrial age

    Losing weight helps. Exercise helps. I am in my 50's with a bit of a predisposition to get some cottage cheese. I think great nutrition and skin care makes a big difference. When I'm eating lots of fruits my skin looks much tighter in my opinion.

    Losing weight and running helps, mine almost gone just by having much less fat under the skin.

    When I had a severe eating disorder and had an emaciated BMI, I still technically had a bit of cellulite. When I realized it was never going to go away entirely, I made my peace with it. More or less.

    Men have oestrogen

    But not in the quantities that women do. Women also have testosterone, but don't build muscle as quickly as men because they have less testosterone.

    Now that I'm in the healthy weight range for my height, the cellulite on the backs of my legs is about gone. It's getting better on the tush too. I think it will be minimal within the year.
