I've Got a Big Butt and I Cannot Lie

You otha brothas can't deny....

OK, I'm one of those women with a butt hugely out of proportion with the rest of my body.  You know the bits on SNL where a girl puts two cushions in her pants to make her butt look comicly huge?  Well, that's the kind of butt I have.

Why must it be this way?

Granted, even long ago, before I gained weight, I had some junk in my trunk.  So it's been with me for about as long as I can remember.  But is there anything you can do to have a less bootylicious butt?  As I lose weight, at some point I'm going to be a normal-sized woman with a gigantic butt.  Honestly, I think I have a planet or two in orbit around it. 

They say that spot reducing doesn't work.   Is there anything a girl can do about her great big butt?

What can you do about your butt?  Live with it and use it to your advantage.  I'm a fan of big butts, so I think its A-OK in my book ;)

Anyways, you could be like me.  I have no ass whatsoever.  My shirt always comes out at work cause I got nothin back there to keep it in.  It's sad really...I'm a fat guy with no ass.  Must be the little bit of Irish in me :)

I caught mine on fire. It didn't go away, alas!

I would also to suggest that having a big butt on an otherwise skinny and healthy body is not necessarily a bad thing :)

Look at J. Lo... she looks hawwtt!! Personally I wish I had more junk in the trunk.

I think as you lose fat the loss will distribute itself. Like for instance, I started losing mainly in my boobs and (fortunately) my stomach first, but I know I have lost some of my butt as well by now.

I also have a badonkadonk thanks to my mom and our Cuban heritage. But it doesn't stick out far - it is just HUGE. :D

And of course, if all else fails and you lose the weight but still have a huge butt, you have two choices - rap videos, or lipo!! LOL, just kidding!

I totally agree with the other guys,

to continue on the song you quoted: "If she got an itty bitty waist and a round big in your face I get sprung!" I MUCH prefer a woman that is in shape with a bit of a rump over a flat arse anyday!!! Don't worry too much, look forward to shaking it at goal weight!

Hmmm...  rap videos or lipo???....  both so enticing....  ha!

lol

I have lost some inches off my butt already and it's still huge. So I despair....

billb, maybe shaking it really is the answer!  lol  :D  Think that's what I'll do tonight for my exercise...

My one ex had a flat flabby ass...I didn't like it so much.  Need something to grab and give a nice firm SLAP to in public...in front of everyone.  AAAAAA good times.

my bf has no a** at all either....   he says I make him feel inadequate and that I make him want to have a little junk in his trunk too... lol    He is so sweet, I know he is just trying to make me feel better.

you ALL just crack me up!!

and finewine, you are so NOT fat... your pictures are amazing, like a whole different person now! good for you on your loss!

I just looked at FineWine's pics... holy crap!!! How much time did it take you to lose that weight? You look amazing!

Sorry, maybe I should follow that quantum idea and tell myself I'm not fat, then I'll believe it.  I will always refer to myself as fat...its nothing derogatory, just how I call meself.  Helps me accept my largeness better :) 

EDIT:  5 months and counting.  But come now, this is about nice big asses, y'all are gonna make me all shy being the center of attention.

I have a big butt..  My mom used to call me bubble butt...  Now that I am getting down to a better weight... it looks awesome...  really I have been told.. 

You will just have to learn to like and accept what you have.

My sister once called my butt bigger than Mt. Rainier.  Meh, you can tone, but you can't fight genetics.

So. I got a big ol' a**.  So? Some might not like it, but no matter, I have preferences of my own. And I'm not in the business of pleasing everyone, you know?  And as you can see from this thread, there is a lot of appreciation for what you have.  Curves are what you got, so go with it. Be happy with it. Love it.

So shake it, shake it, shake it - shake that healthy butt - baby got back!!

I have a huge arse for my size, but i dont care realy. Men like big arses! i even went as far as adding a pic of my fine (LOL) arse for all to see!!

I WOULD RATHER HAVE A ROUND THING THAN NO THING!

anyway, its handy when you want to stand out on the podeums in clubs dancing, peeps see my bum before they see me!!

nomoreexcuses, I know what you mean. I have always had the bootie, even when I was 120 pounds so long, long ago, lol. I could never find pants that fit me right(tiny waist). Very frustrating!  However, I have always been told what the men here are saying, that they like em big, so I don't worry about it anymore.

finewine, I just had to laugh out loud at your "nice firm SLAP in public" comment.  My husband is always doing that! Just wait until he sees me at my goal weight ;)

Well I aint even gonna lie...I have no butt!! Guess it wasnt in the cards I was dealt!  OH well...my problem is finding pants that dont look like I am sagging in the back.  And for you han and your comment...I WOULD RATHER HAVE A ROUND THING THAN NO THING!
Based on your picture..you dont have to much back there either so dont criticize those who have none.  And congrats to all that have junk  in the trunk!~

trust me its a flattering pic i do have a big bum so im not critazing. and Some men like girls with no arse! but the String HERE is about liking girls with bums so lets not worry about anythig else!

In my case it's a genetic flaw, all the women in my family are pears. Though I seem to be the pear-iest. All of me is overweight but my butt and thighs are much larger in comparason than the rest of me.  If I was a healthier weight it might not be such a problem (I guess some guys like big butts), but at my weight I look like one of those weeble people, or a Russian nesting doll. I also hate the fact that it makes buying pants a real pain. If they fit on the waste, I almost always with out fail have a huge gap in the back of the waist.

On the other hand I've heard that pear shapped people are actually better off than apple shaped people, so I guess I have that going for me.

tracymarie, secret_squirrel, cassie, crankyone - we are sisters in derierres!

we share a lack of pants that fit properly!  (((group hug)))

If I find any good tips on pants/slacks/jeans/shorts that will fit big booties I will let you know!

It is nice to know that there are guys who like ample bottoms and I should probably also thank any guys who hate them but didn't post and thus spared my/our feelings...

the overall advice here is to learn to love what we've got... I guess that's something I will have to work on and as I get in better shape, it will get easier, I hope!

What made me post this to begin with is that I work at a boarding school and the building I'm in is very old - built in 1924 - it used to be a farm house - and the bathrooms are old and the toilets are so small and are in these alcoves that are just big enough for the toilet with a couple inches on either side and I hate trying to fit my butt on those toilets!  I fit, but would like more space around me - hate it if my legs touch the wall....   But on the other hand... it's a very good motivator to keep me on track to losing weight.  :p
