Hey, wasn't sure if I'm just being paranoid or not so I thought I'd as for some opinions.

So in that picture while I look like I have love handles they're my hip bones.
Is it just me or do I have wide hip bones for a guy?

Thank you!!
Matt

    Maybe a little? I don't think it's that unusual though, I've known plenty of guys who were a little hippier. If its something that bothers you, then work on developing your shoulders and chest and it'll balance things out a bit :)

    It looks like love handles to me, not bones. Quite rounded. I'd say follow Mr_Stabbems' advice and work out your top half for muscle, so it doesn't quite stand out. Either way, burn calories if actually love handles and in denial, or it'll fill out your top half to match with muscle if you aren't bs'ing us.

    I'm going to agree with love handles. Your hips are lower than that.

    I've got a more recent picture and it's solid like bone rather than fat

    Or is it more having a narrow waist compared to my chest and pelvis?

    I don't know if you're still on this platform or anything since it's been a while, but are you still dealing with this? If not let me know how you've dealt with it. I have the same 'problem' and idk what to do...

    Old thread, as you know. But thought you might like to know that OP hasn't been on mfp since July 2015.

    Well, you can't change your bone structure. I have a rather big pelvis as well, which isn't great. But there's really nothing you can do about it other than adding muscles to your shoulders to even things out.

    I'm glad to see another guy posting wide hips. I am the same I get love handles easy but I accept I can't change my bone structure also. I think if you focus on muscle development such has working out your lats to and shoulders to show a wider frame up top it won't look as bad.
