Pears with broad shoulders

Anyone here a pear with broad shoulders?

I'm told I'm a pear, and every body type calculator I've used has told me I'm a pear. But I have pretty broad shoulders (I am starting to hate them, they look so yuck when I take pictures of my back). It makes me look like an hourglass sometimes, which is fantastic, but otherwise, I'm not a fan.

Anyone else? If you could post pics, that'd be helpful.

This are my broad shoulders, by the way (oh yes, and I got a new tattoo yesterday, hence the taking pictures of my back and noticing my shoulders. It's not finished yet, by the way)

    I've got big shoulders and hips too. Not really that much you can do about it really. Plus you have a gorgeous shape so I wouldn't worry in the slightest!

    I'm a pear too but I've got skinny little shoulders and wish they were broader. You have a great shape and look much more in proportion than me.

    Yeah I'm like that, I have wide hips but very very small boobs (as you can see in my profile pics). My shoulders and hips are the same width so it creates an hourglass shape. So I consider myself a mix - pear/hourglass. But if you were to dress your shape, you should go with hourglass because your shoulders don't need to be enhanced to balance it out.

    This is me too. I was always bigger on the bottom but had broad shoulders, which I always thought would look so much more balanced if I had bigger boobs. But since I've gained weight and lost the definition in my waist, I'd say right now I'm more of a rectangle. Fine for a cell phone, but not an attractive shape for a girl. Oh well. That's why I'm on this journey. And we all need to remember, no matter what shape we are, we are beautiful! :smile:

    Thanks guys, so it's not just me then.

    It just seems I can't find my body type. I'm a pear, but I don't look like some pears I see, nor do I exactly fit the requirements, but then, I'm not hourglass because my bust isn't that big (which I think is bulls h i t anyway, but I digress).

    I don't mind the shoulders most times, but when I need to take pictures of my back, it makes me feel insecure. I've been trying to take lots of pictures of my back to show off my tattoo, but every time I do, I just look stupidly broad shouldered and the angle makes my hips look narrow :grumble:

    You've got a really lovely shape, your shoulders look really in proportion. I know how you feel though, years of swimming as a kid made mine rather broad and at 5'10 I look a bit like a man sometimes

    ...but you don't at all! Very very feminine curves you got there, and I love the tattoo! I don't normally like them, but your one is interesting and creative and suits you.

    Thank you so much! Does swimming really make your shoulders broad? How? Is it the moving of the arms?

    And again, thank you so much! It's not finished yet, but when it is, I'll post a pic in here! This is just the outline, then it's going to get coloured/shaded/have detailed added and finished on Saturday. It's also going to look kinda 3D. It's my 6th :)

    You're hot. Look at your fantastic shape… I'm a pear, but my bum isn't nice and cute like yours.

    See, we all have things we don't like about ourselves. I see absolutely nothing wrong with your shoulders. Keep rocking those sexy back photos

    I have to agree with everyone else, you have a lovely shape. Also, an astronomy-themed tattoo. That's extra hot!

    And just you wait until you see the tattoo when it's finished, missy. Then we can talk about hot ;)

    LOVE LOVE LOVE your tat! It will look cool coloured, but even if not, the black outline is still really awesome! What a really neat idea. :)

    This also describes my shape almost exactly. Bra size 34A and hips at 40" currently! Good suggestion on dressing for an hourglass, I never thought of it that way.

    Im a pear with broad shoulders.. I like it as it creates like an hourglass shape between my hips and shoulders..
    Its just a shame my massive legs draw all of the attention. -_-

    Thanks everyone for your replies :)

    So what I wanna know is, why are we considered pears even though we have broad shoulders? The sillouette looks like an hourglass if you have a small waist, big hips and broad shoulders. Doesn't make sense to me. Why the eff do the boobs matter? They don't create a sillouette unless you're standing in profile.

    I have no boobs, a tiny waist a good sized butt and pretty large thighs, but my shoulders are broader than my hips, so I have come to the conclusion that my body type depends on what you’re talking about, curves or proportions, because proportionally I am an hour glas but if you’re talking about curves I am very much a pear
