    I used to hate being a pear for all of the previously stated reasons. I thought I looked fat, even when I wasn't. Now that I've been all kinds of different weights, I realize that being a pear rocks.

    A pear and an apple both gain 25 lbs. Guess who "wears" it better?

    I love my shape. I don't love having to sew my jeans tho. If I don't, then the top of the pants fold funny and the pop out of the belt and look sloppy.

    Funny how a pear usually can't buy a top and bottom of the same size. That's why buying mix and match is better. Large PJ bottom, medium PJ top.

    GO PEARS GO!

    If I weren't a pear shape, I would admire others with all my heart. but as a true pear, I seriously dont like it. Higher body fat percentage, not looking good in skinnys or pretty much most type of pants. Yeah, I can wear skirt, but I love skinnys!

    I love my big booty and tiny waist :heart:

    I do hate being compared to a fruit though.

    Meh...pear is a pretty sexy looking fruit. I'd much rather be called a pear than an orange or banana.

    Im a pear and even though I am at the moment out of love with my body, I would rather be a pear than top heavy. People look a lot stranger with a round tummy and fabulous legs than the other way round lol xx
    Gee thanx, that's exactly why i'm self concious and i won't post pictures on here. But it's true.

    Siiiiigh I want to love my pear but I just can't! All I see when I look in the mirror is FAT butt and FAT hips and FAT thighs no matter how much I trim and tone. In the end I guess it's just a self acceptance thing :frown:

    yay pears!.. lol.. maybe when I lost more weight.. I may have a smaller waist in abstract to my big hips and booty but I also have thigh and booty cellulite which is super hard to get rid of.. I'm not that big but I still have it due to my "pear shape"!!!! :sad:

    I'm jealous of the pair shape. :( I think I'm more of an apple or an hourglass.

    I am not sure why people hate on the pear. I am an apple/hourglass shape and I always thought the pear shape was the most feminine and beautiful.

    Who hate pears? I would love to be one. I am the dreaded apple. I have big boobs and look like a balloon. GO PEARS!

    I'm SUPER pear-shaped and sometimes I do hate it, but usually I'm just grateful that I don't carry my weight in my stomach. Sure, sometimes I wish I was hourglass shaped and therefore had a little more in the boob area, but I love being able to wear small tops and show off my small waist in comparison to my much more curvy hips/butt. Woohoo!

    (Edited to add my measurements: about 34", 26", 38"!)

    The only people who don't like pear shape seem to be people who have it...

    Pear shapes are the sexiest!! we gain all our weight in the bottom so our tops are really small. It's very sexy cuz it looks curvy . All the men die over it!

    the hate is just pure jealousy!

    I am not a pear shape naturally.. currently I'm more of a hmm. Watermelon shape? haha. When I am not so heavy though, I don't know what to call that shape. I am naturally big breasted, unfortunately. And before anyone says it, yes I know how bad that sounds. I have been in specialty sized bras as long as I remember. Even in high school when I was just 5' 3" and 105 lbs, I was still in a D cup. granted.. a 32 D is a lot better than a 40 anything!
    To all pears out there... clothes sizing may suck (I am the opposite, big tops, slightly smaller bottoms) but at least you *have* a shape! Cheers to the pears, apples, and every other fruity size~

    I am all about my pear shape. Love my hips.....makes me feel sexy and womanly...does it make shopping a bit more difficult..sometimes, but I've learned what seems to work best for my body! :) Plus I like pears....bosc, bartlett, d'anjou.
