Do you like your body shape?

[Goodwifie]

What’s your body shape and
do you feel confident about how you look?

I’m a rectangle shape and after years of hating how I look I’ve decided
to be more positive with how I see myself.

[PoliceLivesMatter]

I’m an inverted triangle, similar to a runner and swimmer’s body. I never was insecure about my body shape, still not. I never cared about how my body looked, except in a health-wise capacity. When it comes to aesthetics and having that “beach body” I don’t care. I always care and have prioritized performance over aesthetics.

[A-man-22]

Right I don't look at my body shape and say I wish I was x y and z. Plus no one ever notices me so if I look bad no one cares so neither do I.

[fauchelevent]

I’m a pear shape and I do like it a lot. I can sometimes feel like I look a little unbalanced but it’s not a big deal, I just really like how wide my hips are 😂

[Goodwifie]

We just have to learn how to dress for our shape that's all.

[fauchelevent]

Yeah, exactly, everyone can find something that will make them look incredible!

[KatherineJ]

It’s the one I have, so yeah.

[Red_Arrow]

If only people could accept this way of thinking. Sure, work to make it the best you can, but be happy with it instead of getting all the surgeries people do. Enlarge this, make that smaller, etc. Keep on being happy with what you have.

[KatherineJ]

@Red_Arrow We all have parts of our bodies that we might not be happy with, but being as healthy as you can is much better than trying to “correct” things by surgery.

I'm somewhere between trapezoid and rectangle. I think rectangle is the most common body type in Japan, but I'm half-Caucasian and I think that Caucasian side gave me the broader shoulders and bigger chest and wider lats than most Japanese (but not as broad as pure Caucasians), but with the slim waist common here (29-inch waist). I also have rather large glutes, thighs, and calves as a result of being a competitive sprinter and vert skateboarder.

I'm reasonably happy with it as a "mutt" and have learned there are some advantages to being a biracial mutt. I still wish I could go all the way to inverted triangle and I've been trying to widen my lats to get that kind of shape going with slow progress.

Where I'm happy is that this "mutt" look of possessing some blend of Caucasian and Asian features seems to work well for a minority of women, especially in Asia, to some extent in Europe, and to a lesser extent in the US. With Japanese girls, if they are curious about dating a foreigner but not a full-blown foreigner, I retain some Japanese features that remain familiar and have lived in Japan for half my life, and I think most Japanese girls who were drawn to me found a "softcore" appeal to dating someone who looked and acted sort of like a foreigner, but not entirely. Similar thing to some extent in Europe which girls drawn to me there perhaps being curious about dating someone who was sort of Japanese, but retained familiar Caucasian characteristics. I was the least popular among girls in the US with hardly any girls approaching me there, but the first girlfriend I got there seemed interested for the same reason (met her at a clothing store where she asked me to write her name in Japanese and gave me her phone number in exchange).

Just about every girl had that in common. I think they were interested because I retained a combination of "familiar and native" and "unfamiliar and foreign" characteristics. So I've learned not to complain about it and kind of embrace that. I used to try to fight it as much as possible, dying my hair black in Japan to look more Japanese, lightening it in Europe and the states and wearing colored contacts to look more Caucasian, etc. I found I did better when I stopped bothering trying to hide the mixed "mutt" nature of my body and instead embrace it.

[TripleAce]

yes... I do, between you and me...
I'm more like an trapezoid or inverted triangle... those lats and that V lol... just that nice sweep you know...

[zoe2187]

I don’t know what shape I am. Maybe a star? Lol I’m like you I’ve decided to be more positive. Then I tell myself it could be worse.

[ieele]

i've got thigh and arm but i dont have abs. Not chubby there but not fit in the core either :( im kinda uncomfortable with it but i play football so i need to gain weight

[TheSikuu]

I think I'm the one between upside downtriangle and rectangle, but I'm not sure.
I don't like it; if rather be upside down triangle. But, genes, what can I do?
I'm not confident in the sense that I think I'm attractive, but I get enough attention to know that plenty of women find me attractive. Helps that I'm tall and kinda smart.
If I had my body but were short, I'd be wayy more insecure.

[sweetsugarplum]

I am a pear shape. Had lots of insecurities but since I communicate with more positive people I somehow started loving myself. And if I don't love myself, who would? It is just such a turn off when the woman is insecure all the time in my opinion.

[Prof_Don]

I'm a very sexy apple! :-D

I like being a "big" guy. Nothing about me is small.

[ShortCircuit]

I mean, I'm naturally either an inverted triangle or a rectangle shape--so I can't exactly complain about that. I just wish that I could lose a bit of belly fat, but then again, that's got nothing to do with body shape.

[CuChullan]

I'm Inverted Triangle, but i'm not the tallest.
I do love that Pear Shape on women!

[TKCB05]

I'm somewhere between trapezoid und rectangle shape and I'm 100% confident about it because I know that my body is in a good shape.

[shub09]

I believe in Body positivity.

[Decentguy]

yup i love it, not now tho, because currently im on bulking, otherwise i love it :D

[your_ego]

i'm a magnificent work of art, that's all i'm gonna say

[Hurlyburly]

According to my boyfriend I'd be a pear, since my hips are pretty wide. Its also one of the few things I like about my body so I won't say that that shape lowers my confidence.

[elizamichale2]

No matter what body shape u have you should always be confident of it and if you dont feel great about it then change it as much as possible

[Malita55]

Im between a rectangle and an hourglass. I wish i had a smaller waist and im still self concious about it

[Before_I_Fall]

Pearish Rectangle maybe?

Yea I feel confident with myself. I don't find my physical trait of that importance

[CuriousMufuxka]

Lame chart. I'm still relatively slim, just got a little extra gas in the tank lol.

[Lovelygirl2001]

My body shape is like a pear. I like my body shape but others dont because they call me fat and tell me to lose weight.

[Red_Arrow]

Depending on who is telling you to lose weight, maybe you should listen to them. If it is a doctor or your parents, then probably you should for your health. I have not seen you so I cannot form an opinion, but your health should be your biggest concern about that.

[Lovelygirl2001]

@Red_Arrow its kids at my school.

[Red_Arrow]

Kids at school can be cruel. Often the have cliques and use shaming to exclude others.
But if you hear that a lot, you should ask your doctor to give you an evaluation about that. You may be overlooking something about yourself. But get a doctor to tell you one way or the other. And try to not be so down until you can do that. I am here for moral support if that helps.

[Loser94]

Im kinda of a rectangle now, want to improve to a trazoid at least
