:D

The "problem" is there is varying perspective on what having a "big butt" means. As far as I'm concerned, big butt does not mean the following:

1. Your butt is only "rotund" because you are obese.

2. Your butt is wide but flat. A wide ass is not automatically a phat ass.

I'm all for celebrating different body shapes and the beauty of the rotund rear. I just want women of the African diaspora around the world to remember that a healthy body image should not be confused with being unhealthy. I also want women of other races and ethnicities to stop jumping on the big butt bandwagon if your butt does not truly fit the criteria. This includes, but is not limited to, the white women singing the big butt song when instead they have a flat rear or a flabby rear. Needless to say, that doesn't pertain to all white women because there are white women with rotund bottoms just as there are women of the African diaspora with nonrotund bottoms.

The research in the OP is probably talking about any extra meat in the hips and rear end regardless of how it looks. However, most of the Black men in this thread probably have an image of what they consider "big butt".

...hey, just celebrate what you got. Somebody like it. :)

:) Love what you love but also be honest. Your love for grapes doesn't turn the grapes into apples.

I recommend editing your post. There's no need to be disrespectful to white women.

uh...Jennifer Lopez, Leah Remini, et. al., holding on line 2.

Does Jennifer Lopez identify as a white Hispanic?

I think there are a few things at play here. I will not use the word big because that is so subjective. IMO:

(1) the criterion that determines whether a woman has a round booty or not is whether her bottom looks like the letter C. These women have a round/curvy no matter what their weight/clothing size.

• The level of what the "C" looks like varies between women, but it should be pronounced to a degree. Otherwise it's normal and not particularly round.

(2) women with who have wide hips and/or store most of their fat in their lower body with a curvature in at the waist are generally classified as pear-shaped women.

A woman can have just (1)+(2). Or just (1) without wide hips or much fat in the rest of her lower body. Or just (2) with a flat butt.


The studies mentioned in the first post lump all these women who have a curvier lower body together, however the results may not apply to all women equally.

• The first one is talking about women whose booties have more fat versus women with booties that have a "normal" level of fat.
• The second one is talking about women with wider hips (does not necessarily mean a large booty but depending on how this was measured booty size can contribute).
• And the last one is talking about women with larger butts/larger hips and smaller waists.

I'm white. I have an amazing ass. It's not quite JLo, but it is not flat, or wide. But it is certainly deep.

LOL.

As I said earlier, callipygous women can be found among all races. We tend to find them most among the race(s) we generally find most attractive.

I've seen some attractive women in every race, but I still have to give it to black women when it comes to beauty and sex appeal. I do trust a big butt and a smile Lol.

I'm still searching for the perfect brand of jeans that will not require a cinch at the waist in order to accommodate my rearest of assets.

Preach.

J Lo is Hispanic. Hispanic females have asses like black females. I don't know who Leah Remini is.

I'm just CTFU at all the white girls up in here talking about or claiming to have a big booty. To a white boy, y'all probably have a big booty, and white dudes don't really get into that like we do. To a black dude, some of you "claim to be" big booty white females probably, more likely than not, have an ass as flat as a pancake LOL. I've never seen a big booty white girl. For the ones who I've seen that's bigger than normal for a white girl, have all been saggy big booties. Y'all are up here as if y'all have something to prove. Y'all have a seat LOL.

Hispanic is a category that includes people who identify as different races. Jennifer does not identify as Black Hispanic but she also doesn't identify as white Hispanic. Hispanic women in the US and abroad have a range of body types.

And Mizeree doesn't know GCers' bodies so he's just living a fantasy. :)

...that's what you think. LOL.
