I have a 0.68 hip to waist ratio , but my measurments are big

[Anonymous]

My hips and waist are big measurements , but I do have a 0.68 hip to waist ratio , so what does that say about me ? My waist is : 35.8 inches ( I know its big although people tell me I have a tiny waist which is odd ) My Hips are : 52.3 inches My bust is : 34 inches What body shape is that , pear I'm guessing ? So basically my question is : is having a good waist to hip ratio enough ? I am a bit chubby and I'm losing weight , but I am also curvy I think

Numbers don't tell anything. Our brain doesn't work with numbers.

I can imagine 5 different chubby girls, 2 being beautiful, one being average, and the remaining 2 being ugly.

We don't compartmentalize like you think we do. We don't analyze a girl's breast size, hip size, weight, height, etc. separately. We look at the whole picture, and decide pretty quickly whether we find it attractive or not.

So, like I said, don't worry about it.

Guys are simple. They are like logic gates. They work with certainties. Ones and zeros. Yes' and No's.

So, ask yourself. Do you think you are attractive? Yes or no? It is all about that.

tough question , I've always hated my looks lol . But I'm assuming that's normal for teenage girls

[TheAnswerer]

It is normal. Here are some statistics from my Psychology101 class: About 90% of American white women are not completely satisfied with their body image. When asked about their ideal weight, each American white woman survied stated an average of 90% of their respective "optimum health" weights. In other words, women think they are physically fit only when they are thin. Too thin. In an unhealthy way.

[TheAnswerer]

And if this last statistic about "the perfect weight" vs. "the optimum health weight" was 85% rather than the current 90%, it would have a different name: Anorexia Nervosa, a psychological disease in which the patient loses too much weight (because he/she thinks that he/she is too fat) and simply becomes frail and unhealthy, possibly resulting in death.

[TheAnswerer]

So currently, white American women are satisfied with their weight only when they are near-anorexic. Think about the implications of that. (I can't cite my source, because it is a University lecture powerpoint slide, and is therefore unavailable for view by anyone outside the lecture.)

He is spot on, QA. Guys take the whole snapshot of a female, we don't nitpick details. :)

You are very large. A 36 inch waist puts you at an increased risk for almost every disease out there. You're an obese pear shape. To put your size in perspective, your waist is about the size of many girls hips (or even larger). I'm sorry but I cannot even fathom 52 inch hips. You aren't curvy, you're obese and need to get healthy ASAP. It's dangerous to be your size. A "good" waist to hip ratio is not even close to enough, it's all about how it looks. Guys aren't going to look at you and say "wow, she's got a .68 WH ratio, HOT", they're saying "wow, she's big."

Wouldn't that be an apple shape?

[Asker]

No because apple means the waist is like the hips ( the measurements are close ) but my hips are 52.3 and waist 35.8 , so that's a real big difference , my hips are way bigger than my waist

It says the babies should just slide out.

[Asker]

What do babies have to do with it ? sorry I really don't know lol

[Bunny_isnt_funny]

Wide hips give more space for the baby to come out.

[Asker]

hahaha , good then I guess child labor will be a piece of cake for me :D

[Bunny_isnt_funny]

Should be.

On the off chance that I actually managed to paint an accurate picture in my head (yeah right), it doesn't seem bad at all.

I always thought I had a tiny waist but I measureda nd found it 35.8 , doesn't that sound big ? I guess my waist isn't tiny , my hips are just huge :(
