Why is the pear shape so hated on?

[Anonymous]

I have an apple shaped body but I am so jealous of the girls that have the pear shape. They are gorgeous. But guys and girls always say that the hourglass shape is better because of the boobs. I say wtf! Because boobs should not be that big of a deal. It is not a girl's fault if she has small breasts. What do you think?

[sammy_31]

I guess more girls want both good sized boobs and butt with a small waist but a lot harder to have. A pear shape is much more common and not all that bad, some girls just won't have bigger boobs. I just don't get why even body shapes on women are a huge deal with some guys. We have more variety of body shapes then them and some girls need to stop tripping about it too.

[Asker]

I know! I'm trying to make my friend feel better because she has a shitty self esteem thanks to guys.

[sammy_31]

Ahh okay well I hope she feels better about herself only she can truly change that.

[Asker]

Thanks. Your opinion really helped her.

[sammy_31]

You're welcome :)

[famouslyunknown]

I never knew it was hated, but all shapes are nice when the person is fit. I have an hourglass shape but I'm basically flat. My rib cage is just big so it gives me a small waist and then I have a big butt or as big as a size 3 can be.

[CommieDearest]

I'm kind of unsure where you're getting your info. I tend to think Pear is one of the more desired body shapes.

[Asker]

I thought that was the hourglass.

[TedStar]

Pear and hourglass are the best shapes for women. Beyonce, J lo and Kim all have pearshapes. Boobs don't separate hour from pear. You can be pearshaped with large boobs.

[Asker]

Kim? Really? I always thought she was an hourglass.

[been_waiting]

Kim is an hourglass. She has large breasts.

Pear means big butt with smaller breasts. Hourglass is big breasts + big butt.

[TedStar]

@been_waiting. Kim is a pear shaped woman. Bust is the measurement NOT breasts. Have a look at this picture from the back and tell me that she is hourglass and not pear https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/2186862/600full.jpg

[been_waiting]

You do realize that "bust" is another word for breasts right? Breast is the same as bust. And just because she's got a big ass doesn't mean she doesn't have big boobs... she has both. Making her an hourglass

[TedStar]

@been_waiting Google is you friend. Most sites agree that she is pearshaped and not hourglass. As far as I know the measurement is tje ribcage underneath the breasts. Adding thee measurement of the breasts does not change that value. A true hourglass will keep shape regardless of being an A cup or G cup

[been_waiting]

Okay well I guess that's up to opinion then but no- the bust is the measurement around the fullest part of the breasts... that's a fact not an opinion. www.realsimple.com/.../take-your-bust-measurement

[been_waiting]

An hourglass is technically a girl with the SAME bust and hips measurement. Such as 36-24-36. Meaning her breasts are 36" around, her waist is 24" and her butt is 36"

[TedStar]

Okay. Wrong choice of words lol. I just know because a few years ago I didn't know about body shapes and I was educated by some friends of mine

[Asker]

Kim k is pear shape. To be hourglass her bust measurements would have to match her hips. She is 38-26.5-40. That is pear. If it was 38-26-38, she would have an hourglass figure. I guess she was just blessed with large breasts.

[TedStar]

@been_waiting I think you are wrong. The difference between a pear and hour glass is the usually the top figure. An hourglass has the same hip and bust and MUST have a waist that is 10+ inches smaller. A pear has a larger hip, an intermediate bust and smaller waist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_body_shape

[been_waiting]

That's what I'm saying, you're not getting it.

Hourglass- equivalent bust and hip

Pear- hips larger than bust

That's all I'm saying... I don't understand how you're confused

[Asker]

Lol exactly @TedStar, listen to @been_waiting. She knows what she's saying.

[Bandit74]

Hourglass has the most mass appeal but pear is a close second. dktw6ve3esqhz.cloudfront.net/.../body_shapes.jpg

[Asker]

Out of all of those, which do you find attractive?

[Asker]

I have the one in between the two.

[Bandit74]

I guess they could all be atractive depending on the height, also i care more about facial aethetics than body. Not every guy has the same preferences but for me, if i was to list these in order, Id say hourglass is my favorite, then pear, then apple, then rectangle, then inverted triangle. There's also being overweight which isn't listed here but that's the worst imo.

[rthomas43]

Pay better attention. Nobody hates on pear shaped girls.

[Asker]

Lots of guys do. My friend asked a question on this site to see if people found her body unattractive, and a lot of people said "you would be if you had an hourglass figure"

[rthomas43]

So she would be unattractive if she had an hourglass body?

People like hourglass bodies and pear shaped.
Hourglass is generally viewed as a tad better, but they're both desirable.

[Asker]

she would be attractive if she had an hourglass figure.

[rthomas43]

Link to thread?
I am having a hard time believing anyone would hate on a pear shaped body.

[Asker]

I guess I could try to find it. how do you do that?

[Asker]

www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1150728-how-much-do-you-think-i-weigh-do-i-look-overweight

is the link. the ones who said she was attractive were mostly older men.

[rthomas43]

There was something like 1 negative comment for every 20 positive comments. Your original claim that people hate on pear shaped girls holds no weight.

[BeardedDude]

I don't know why some do, I don't hate it, boob size is a non-factor to me but let me ask you how come only guys with the V-Taper get attention?

[Asker]

Because it is a sign that they are fit. If you work out enough, i'm pretty sure you can get one. Even some girls have it!

[BeardedDude]

Well same to you regarding the hourglass figure, work those pecs, "I'm pretty sure you can get one" as well 😣

I actually do have a V-Taper, I just wanted to see if you were empathetic enough to understand men in a similar position.

[Gemstone2411]

Pear shaped? I wouldn't really know my body shape unless you count a stick as one.

[Asker]

www.girlsaskguys.com/.../q1150728-how-much-do-you-think-i-weigh-do-i-look-overweight

This is my friend Lilah. She is pear shaped.

[Gemstone2411]

Well Lilah seems to excellent posture and I don't see anything wrong with a pear-shaped body.

[RationalMale]

I say girls should just approach guys and ask them out, every day, at least five times a day.

What do you know, doesn't really matter what I say. Kinda like when girls say we guys shouldn't care about a girl's looks.

[springocelot]

men love that shape

it's the straight up and down shape that gets slack

[Anonymous]

Pear shape does not mean you have small boobs
Kim k and nicki minaj have pear shapes and their boobs are anything but small

[Asker]

Kim K. Is an hourglass. A pear shape means that you have a smaller upper half eg. Flat stomach, slightly smaller to medium sized breasts, and small waist with a round bottom, thicker thighs and calves.

[Asker]

And nicki has a fake butt. So she doesn't count.

[Opinion Owner]

Kim k's bottom half looks bigger than her upper half to me

[Asker]

Ah.. Just googled it and you are right. To be an hourglass her bust measurement would have to match her hip measurement. Her measurements are 38-26.5-34. To be hourglass she would, for example, have to be 38-26-38.

[Anonymous]

I think yuh are a pear shaped woman and just jealous of hour glass :p

[Asker]

No I'm apple shape.

[Asker]

And I can't stand to see guys treat my friend the way they do.

[Opinion Owner]

Pear shapes woman looks beautiful too...
I don't see anything wrong with them

[justbanANNAz]

it is NOT hated on! men drool over that shape:)

[iUnderachieve]

Men will drool over any shape.

[justbanANNAz]

i know lol but we're talking bout the pear shape here=] @iUnderachieve

[iUnderachieve]

Yeah.. sadly I drool over the pear shape.. and a few others.

[Asker]

@iUnderachieve
What other shapes?

[iUnderachieve]

Straight, Spoon, Pear, Hourglass, top hourglass etc.

[Klaatu51]

because they don't like pears? LOL i don't know

[Anonymous]

It's not the body, it's the face that matters.

[front2back]

The pear shape is hated? Since when?
