> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by EasyPhil \* > \*\*Well a wide butt that’s flat, isn’t really big, it’s just wide. A well proportioned butt that protrudes is ideal, like the Venus sisters, Jennifer Lopez, most of the gals on the Cuban volley ball team… \*\* :looks over her shoulder: Yep, you’ve described my ass. Carry on. My name is hardygrrl and I have a bubble butt. ---

I have always been an ass man. So if _Baby’s got Back_, that’s just fine with me. ---

OK…I’m gonna spill the beans. Most of my male friends and myself like nicely amassed bottoms. They can be of a variety of shapes…sigh…the only ones I find unattractive are the tiny butts or flat butts. In fact, I am of the opinion that ladies tend to be somewhat critical of their preceived (too large) butt size…along with the whole slender model illusions that they think that we guys desire. Not true, ladies!..give me a nicely rounded lady any day. Nature intended those curves, and I for one appreciate them. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ladyfoxfyre \* > \*\*This thread makes me wonder where the stereotypical flat-bottomed beauties come from. If this large a percentage of the population prefers a bigger behind, then why is it generally believed in the minds of women that less is more? \*\* By the same token, the fashion advertising would make an outside observer believe that small breasts are most popular. While there are plenty of people who prefer small breasts (I’m a fan of all breasts, regardless of size), I would hazard a guess that larger breasts are really more popular in our culture. Just another example of the fashion industry pushing an unrealistic paradigm of beauty. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-like-big-butts/139473.md?page=1)
