Re: Body Types: ECTOMORPH, MESOMORPH, ENDOMORPH(fruit sizes)

[Guest guest]

I was just thinking, that althogh most women want the ectomorph build

(tall slim), the build that is the sexiest to me is the endomorph.

That would be women with a voluptuous build such as Marilyn Monroe,

Goldie Hawn, , ect. That build gains weight easily, but

is drop dead gorgeous when in shape. To each his own I guess.

I still don't really buy this stuff. Sure people come in all shapes

and sizes, but can we truly classify everyone into three distinct

body types? For example, I have tiny wrists (4.5 inches), so I can

easily overlap my thumb and forefinger, yet I am definitely not an

ectomorph. I tend to store fat on my hips, butt and thighs, and I'm

quite round on the bottom when I put on weight, but I also put on

muscle easily on my legs. So what does that make me? It's all too

confusing.

You're a bighippopatamorph.

Oh, of course, why didn't I think of that? Thanks, Astra.
