Wow! Lol. PLEASE don't tell your girlfriend her butt is too small or give her unsolicited advice, but if she asks for your advice... Kneeling squats, Bulgarian split squats, one-legged squats, bridges, and hip thrusts target the gluteus maximus. Side lunges, hip abductors, curtsy lunges, and ice-skaters target the gluteus medius (sides/hip). Working the gluteus medius will give the butt more of a heart-shaped look. Variations of hip abductors also work the TFL which runs on the outside of the leg and can help give a curvier look to the leg which can go nicely with the heart-shaped butt if that is her preference, but the TFL isn't as important to the look. If she tends toward a slightly boyish/athletic figure, I would suggest lots of kneeling squats and side lunges. Avoid too many hip thrusts and bridges. They can give the butt a top-heavy look, and any barbell squats should be done in a low-bar position to put the strain on the posterior chain instead of the quads. Proper form is very important for squats. For diet, it's probably just a matter of eating more, to gain fat and significant amounts of muscle, you must consume more calories than you burn. Some foods are supposed to help distribute fat to the butt and/or away from the waist, but genes tend to determine where fat deposits. Some supplements can help, but she should be very careful with anything that alters hormone levels. Fish oil and flax oil are supposed to be helpful, and I don't think that they have any major side effects. I'm not any kind of expert, so you may want to verify all of this. I'm mainly speaking from experience. Of course, feel free to ask me if you have any questions I could possibly answer.

You seem to imply that the reason she doesn't have more curves is because the other girls were "fatter" while she's always working out and is lean. No, I think that's genetic. While she could become softer, she wouldn't gain feminine curves because it's not her genetic disposition. Her upper body is bigger and I bet her hips aren't wide.
On the other hand, girls with curves can work out and be lean, and they will always have curves, wide hips, etc. You know what I mean?
She over sis the squat booty. So she has no fat and muscle all she can do is gain some weight and hope it goes to her butt. Buy don't ask her that though it's just wrong.
Wow! Your username is super applicable to this situation!
You say *nothing* unless she specifically says "I want a bigger butt. Do you have any ideas?"
Ask her but very, very carefully. Do the research on exercises. I hear squats mentioned all the time to help build a bubble butt.
I think you might want to start by saying how proud you are of her and her work ethic. That you feel really sorry for the guys with chubby girlfriends. Then ask her if she'd mind making a few changes in the interest of making her body more feminine. That if she won't, you'll understand but that as a guy you have this expectation and desire for a woman to have a body that's soft but firm to the touch. That has curves and softer lines. Then stop and see how she reacts. Prepare yourself for the full range of reactions: anger, resentment, gratitude, anxiety, sadness. All of it.
I'm guessing that she'll be a bit unhappy at first that you don't love her just the way she is. Then you point out that she's said some of those same things herself so you have a hard time feeling bad for reinforcing them. See if she's ready to hear what you've found that may prove useful.
It does seem petty to be honest but if you're going to do it anyway (which I really wouldn't do if I were you), she can do squats and leg curls to tone the butt. I don't know if it will make it bigger but if anything will it's that.

If she's all ready working out, then the solution is she needs to eat more. You need to channel your inner Pierce Brosnan if you want her to stop feeling like a hard stick.
You don't tell her to get a bigger butt...
Heavy squats are the most effective. Never seems a girl who squats with a bad butt.Someone already posted a similar question like this. Majority poll said don't do it.
Tell her she needs to squat. You shouldn't have to put up with a flat ass. That's just unacceptable.
