    I'm still trying to figure out when big butts became desirable, :p

    Since always depending on culture...but definitely since Sir Mix A Lot said "He likes big butts and he can not lie" 🤣😍

    I think big butts have always been desirable to some people (different people have different preferences of course) for example my husband has always liked big butts on women. But I think they have become a huge fad here in the last 10 years or so with Beyonce and Kim K and Nikki Minaj etc.

    Yeah, but the "big butts" he likes are tiny compared to what you see today. ;)

    Ideally, both. Building a booty has been fairly easy for me with strength training. I would like to have more visible abs, but that takes a lot more work/dedication on cutting body fat.

    And I would agree how much of a PIA it is finding dress pants with a small waist and thick thighs/booty.

    I can relate. I grew up in the 80s and we were all warned against "secretary spread." Having a big butt was not only not desirable, it was something to be feared!!! :scream:

    I have no desire for 6 packs for myself and think they look better on men than women anyway.

    Arms/Shoulders > Legs > Stomach > Bum are my priority. I'm also not a fan of the big round booty that is en vogue. A petite yet muscular bum is my preferred aesthetic.

    That chart is waaaaay off... at least for men. I look like the 10% picture (maybe a bit leaner) and I'm nowhere near 10%.... lol

    Regardless, body composition has a huge roll with how someone looks at a particular body fat percentage. I think it's entirely possible for a woman to have abs - at least four pack and a booty. However, it takes work. A lot of booties I see are nothing but fat and of course, those booties will shrink and wither away if that person chases a flat stomach and abs. It would be like the guy above in the 40% pic claiming he had pecs and not wanting to lose weight because he might lose his "chest"... or does a booty count regardless of composition?

    btw, why does the woman in the 25% pic have more ab definition than the one in the 20% pic?

    Because like you stated, muscle definition plays a large part in how you look. I have more ab definition at 26% than the woman in that 20% because I train. That woman clearly does not.

    That is an entirely different kind of booty then the firm, round, built kind of booty I'm referring too 😂
