Arsenio Hall has that problem. Classical suits help him. Skinny jeans won't and he knows.

I never thought about this. If a man is big-boned (hips, shoulders, etc.) but in proper proportion (I am thinking of the mesomorph build of fit (not fat) football players, weightlifters, basketball centers, etc.), they can certainly be attractive (for some reason, Dwayne Johnson comes to mind, but I'm not sure if that is a good example). A man being bottom heavy (bigger hips, butt) - well, I am not very attracted to that (but maybe other women are).

Yes, men with wide hips can look good. They used to be very popular in old movies and TV. Men like Brian Denehy, Raymond Burr, William Hopper.

Of course, they had massive chests and arms, so they looked proportional and extremely powerful.

Hollywood now prefers skinny built men, but you can still see that powerful, solid build on football players, and let me tell you, those men look gooood!

Are you talking about a bigger build like Clay Matthews? I think that looks very good. If hips are bigger than chest/shoulders, than that would be out of proportion/fat I think.

I like that too
Somehow I don't think the OP is talking about that. Still waiting for him to post a picture....

Just saw OP has another thread on male waist size. Weird. I don't know any guys who talk about their hip/waist measurements.

OP, are you on a new diet/exercise plan and trying to set goals?

That makes no sense. A well proportioned male body has narrow hips and broad shoulders. Wide hips are a female thing.

I've never ever thought about the size of a mans hips, or seen a man and thought his hips were too wide. Beer gut too big, yes. Hips too wide, no.

That's what I was thinking. OP do you mean "Big Legs"? I've seen some guys who do have larger size legs in proportion to their top half. It's unusual, but it exists.

HIPS?

I believe you're describing being "skinny fat".

Someone weak with no muscle mass even if they're not very overweight per se.

No, girls do not like that. Add muscle then go after the body fat.
