Title: How do you do to have more LOVE HANDLES? Do they grow when you're post-op?

This flesh thingy that grows on both sides a bit above your hips, how to have more of them? I have a friend post-op and she told me it grew automatically after she operated. Is that true? Do you know a technique how to have more of them?

Don't be sad girl. What you look for are hips! Not love-handles FGS. They'd totally obsure the girly waist you can muster.
Any help? :-)

This comment is thin-ist!  :laugh:

Thankfully some men (and indeed women) like their lovers with a bit more meat on them! Otherwise I'd be very lonely...

Thanks all for replying. Well all women have this and I wanna have it too cos I'm so skinny and my body has no form. I want that thingy and hips too. Is it true they grow after doing SRS?

If you eat enough they will grow anytime... lol.  :laugh:

For most of us the problem is not getting them - its preventing cute little love handles becoming vast ugly rolls of fat!  :P

There's a tricky balance to be found where you eat enough but also get enough exercise so that the handles have muscle support. That's what makes the difference between "on-demand" love handles and "always-on" love handles ;D. We need fat to grow boobs and hips. Food maketh fat, muscle supporteth it. Or something.

OOhh Sad Girl.

I wish i had your problem, you could have my handles.
So, honestly, you have a very nice figure, no need to change something about that.

Hugs

I had love handles all my life. 5'5 and 130 lbs and I still have them. I am pre-HRT with a big pelvis though.

I don't think you want love handles. Love handles look bad. I always got teased about them as a kid at the pool or wherever. You just want an hourglass figure. That is a combination of bone structure + % bodyfat. So the element you can control is to put on a little weight, if that is what you want.

I may be mistaken, but is this not more of a masculine feature..?

Everyone's prone to them, it's just the term perhaps gets used more for men than for women - who get "muffin tops" instead :(.

Do not concur that "all women" have them...and of those I have dated through the years who DID have them, almost all complained about them. 

Getting rid of mine has been a struggle and is one of the thing I am trying to work on at a local health club...if that fails, then I will pony up for the lipo to get rid of them.  They ARE NOT at all attractive...

Oh, and I will say that mine became more pronounced not so much because I had surgery all those years ago but because I became way to sedentary after ceasing a few athletic activities that had worked to keep me in better shape.

Actually, if I could get some fat to locate between my love handles and my hip bone beneath them, I would have legitimate hips.  A bit more in my backside wouldn't hurt my feelings, either.  :D

Love handles aren't a particularly unusual place for men to store fat as well.  I had them pretty bad when I was heavier.  If anything, I'd think larger love handles would make the hips look thinner and more masculine.
