Out of all the men with a normal weight that I've seen with their shirt off (this isn't a homo thread, I'm talking about in magazines and on TV), almost all of them have a V shape and a thin waist. I'm also of a normal weight and have more of an X shape.

I have pretty broad shoulders, but the trouble is I have hip bones that come out, kind of like a woman's. I don't think there's much I can do about this, is there anything that would make my hips look smaller? Also, it's not realy an even X kind of shape, my shoulders are more broad than my hips, it's just around my waist I'm real skinny. Is there anyway I could fatten this part out to make it look a little less "hippy"?

Basically this is the kind of shape I am on the left, and I'm wondering if I could build myself up in my waist to look like the left, I hope it displays correctly:

And if I can't do much about it, are women gonna find me less attractive due to this?

Males, as we as females should have a concaving middle, with flaring hips (although men have A LOT less of a flair, it should still be there to an extent).

If any women cared that your hips are a bit large, then they aren't worth your time as a romantic interest.

You could strap a belt around your waist for long hours at a time.

Over months, it WILL shrink your waist size. Dunno what it does to you internal organs, though.

I'm the same way. Some of us are just wide guys.

yeah i have hips that are big to. ,y gf dosnet care, she kinda likes it cause then she spreads her hips farter and I can go in deeper.

Hahahahha, who smells latency issues?

Sharpie, congratulations on being one of the few flanged men around these days. Your have one of the more rare body builds for men, and it usually goes along with a nice metabolism and quickly building muscles. No, it doesn't look bad to women or anything...and it only requires minimal exercise to maintain a healthy body...lucky sonnovabich.

You could create an optical illusion through wearing "right" clothes.

In your case that (i think) would be:

1. stick to same color pants and shirt/sweater.

2. Don't wear form fitting shirts but rather loose sweaters that stop over your hips. (not longer!)

It's actually quite amazing what illusions you can create (for all types of bodys) to make them look more better.

I believe there are even books out, that explain this.

Title is something like "what not to wear"

And don't be shy about it: Women do it all the time!
