    because it's their job to look good, haha
    they probably work out 24/7, have personal trainers and live off salads
    also a little photoshop mixed in there..

    do you realise that a womans size 14 in the 60s is now classed as a size 8? its called vanity sizing, womens sizes are getting larger to make you feel better even though people are getting fatter.
    Yes. This is what annoys me when people say Marilyn Monroe was a size 16! Like hell she was.

    I took this question to mean do women naturally have different size waists even if they are in good shape. which they do and in that case it would be genetic. Of course being fatter would give you a bigger waist but I didn't think anyone would actually ask that
    genetics has a minor effect in regards to waist size, disregarding endocrine problems. this difference in waist sizes is 99% diet and exercise.

    most guys waists if they get to 9-10% body fat are like 27-31'

    same with women, although their bf% would be higher and waist size would be lower.

    edit: why neg, it's not opinion, it's fact.

    Also, skinny hot chicks cant take a smashing in the bedroom so pass me a woman who is strong/athletic/fun anytime of the week.
    You must be pretty inexperienced with skinny hot chicks then.

    the people you talk about are thin because they care about their bodies and how they look.
    Are you suggesting that girls who are slightly larger around the waist don't care about the way they look?
    My waist is bigger than that but I still work out and lead a healthy lifestyle and care about my body

    The problem is your focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.
    mind=blown.

    I think by waist size people mean in comparison to hips though as thats what makes it look small and attractive and that is something you can't exercise or eat right to change.

    slightly larger?
    dont beat around the bush. we are talking about fat, use the word fat.


    if you are trying to improve i have full respect.

    if your body isnt the best is could be, or you arent attempting to make it the best it could be then your priorities are wrong.

    this is true. but you shouldnt care about things that are out of your control. ignore the fact other people only have to do half the work to look twice as good. you arent them.


    anywhoo

    Well I used to be fat But then one day I realised I was a mess and have since lost almost 4 stone.
    My point was, to an outsider, I'm not skinny. I'm a size 14-16 and hence definitley not on parr with these skinny women and their tiny waists. But it doesn't mean I don't care about my body. I love my body and adore seeing it improve.

    Do some girls naturally have smaller waists than others?!
    Yeah I think so.
    My body fat percent is 18% but my waist is quite thick for my size at 27.5". Most of my bones are visible but my waist is a size 10. :rolleyes: I just don't have that kind of build. :dontknow:

    I agree with the part about her ass being to big (for my taste anyway) but there then there is a balance somewhere in between practically no difference between hips and waist and her that is preferable.

    I also agree that you shouldn't really focus on things that you can't control it but it can be hard not to and it can be very demotivating.

    I reckon doing certain exercises does help though, it's not all in the genes.

    When I used to prune tomatoes my waist shrunk quite a lot. I think it was something to do with bending over repeatedly. My back got a lot stronger too and I got those dimple things above my bum
    (this kind of thing just to clarify)


    I think rock climbing helps too. I don't do it any more and my waist noticeably wider, and I haven't really put much weight on anywhere else.
    i love it when i girl has dimples on her cheeks. wait wut?

    exercise in general (if you dont increase what you eat) will make your waist smaller as you lose fat.

    girls have natually small waists and, compared to men, you dont hold much fat there. girls hold fat in their boobs, arse and legs before their stomach. also their upper arms hold alot.

    this is why it is hard to make yur waist smaller when you are already slim as the fat comes off elsewhere more than the stomach.

    how tall are you and what are your other measurements?
    bones being visable is kind of meaningless. most people hips are visable even at 25% (particularly girls)

    do a proper routine, not juist cardio if you want a better body. dont blame your genetics.

    I reckon a lot of it is plastic surgery, I heard somewhere that Kim Kardash had surgery on her waist as it is TINY compared to the rest of her body! Could be wrong though, but dont forget about that little thing called air brushing

    This thread FAILS

    Woman 1: "oh wow they're hot and they all have 24/25" waists!"

    Woman 2: "oh my gawd we'll never get that wasit line and will never be hot!"

    Man: "SHUT THE **** UP!"

    So what if they have 24" waists, I've seen, kissed and had sex with pretty/gorgeous/hot women who have bigger waistlines than these so-called hot superstars and guess what? They didnt need to rely on plastic surgery, airbrushing, touch-up techniques, favourable lighting and god knows what else those posers do to their image.

    Also, skinny hot chicks cant take a smashing in the bedroom so pass me a woman who is strong/athletic/fun anytime of the week.
    woman 3: I am gifted with a small waste! hehe take that bitches
