Well... "big boned" is just that. It's nothing to do with fat or muscle. It's how big you are naturally. Just like some people grow taller or shorter than others, some people grow stockier or lankier than others. Don't worry, there'll be plenty of people who find that attractive, and plenty more people who won't care in the slightest if you have a good personality.

how old are you? i have tiny wrists to. if you're body shape is natural for you i don't think you should try to hard to change it.

im 21 lol and 5ft, it is natural but most guys prefere bigger boned rather than scrawny and I can see why. Its just I play a lot of sport and feel so weak and skinny compared to other girls I usually play in a baggyish top to look bigger.

Theres nothing wrong with petite girls if you ask me. I'd love to have one. Not lcoked up in a cupboard or as a slave - but as a friend or a girlfriend. They rule! You can pick them up and throw them around and everything.

Basically nobody has bones as thin as mine lol - but in girls it's attractive, as long as they aren't "size 0"

Well it didn't even exist until recently - it's because the clothing companies have been changing the sizes, so that what used to be a relatively high size is now lower - meaning that there is a size zero.

thats stupid, I think they are just doing it to take the pee out of thin people lol

Apparently it's American and equivalent to a UK size 4. They've even made a Size 00 - a UK size 2.

oh, well some women are just small in height and stature but ok in proportion so they could be a size 0 but at the same time not be underweight.

Reply 15

I don't think it's worth trying to change the way your basic body type looks - all women look better if they work with the natural features they have than when they work against them. If the amount of fat and muscle on you is well proportioned with regard to your frame, you can't really go far wrong.

Guys usually say that they like some 'meat' on a women but what are girls who are very thin boned and skinny supposed to do to achieve this? lol My wrist only measures 5 inches all the way around Ive never met anyone my age with smaller wrist but what can I do to look bigger but still keep a flat stomach? Will doing strength exersises get me a better figure or will that not be attractive?




I sincerely dont think the size of your wrist is going to be make any influence on whether someone fancys you.

Sadly you can have bigger bones and it isn't just a euphemism for fatties... even when I was deadly thin my hips and shoulders were huge :frown:

Big bones are exactly that. You mention wrist sizes, well there's no fat on my wrists but I can't get my fingers around them. I think it's more common in taller people though and I can't see that it would look right if you were petite. But I'm 5'8-ish and big boned. I think I will never get below a size 12-14 and don't think it would look right on me anyway. Some people just have larger bodies than others.
