Is it normal to be very skinny but have wide hips?

My mom told e that women are supposed to be curvy with large hips but how come all the pretty girls in my school have no hips? I have scrawny legs arms shoulders and ribs and butt, but then when it comes to my hips they are very wide. Is it normal?

    Other things being equal, I generally find broader hips more attractive. Not that it matters. It's certainly normal, and helps with childbirth if you wanna have kids someday.

    I think the important issue here is the fact that you have come to believe that there is only one definition of pretty (these girls with no hips at your school.) Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There is no one definition of beauty. Honestly, from one curvy hipped girl to the next, I think curvy hips are prettier than none at all!

    You're forgetting something - hips contain bones.

    Wide hips only mean your pelvic bones are wider than the other girls you see. You cannot change and it doesn't make you fat.

    it also means if you have kids, you'll be better suited for carrying the baby's weight and giving birth. The girls with no hips will be more uncomfortable and may require surgery for delivery.

    You're perfect the way you are. Wide hips are sexy on a woman. :)

    Depends on the age of your friends - they may still be underdeveloped and will mature to have broader hips.

    Oh don't worry. Wait until they start bearing children; won't stay skinny for much longer.

    Women are supposed to have an XX chromosome, estrogen and a vagina. Those are really the only requirements.

    If you have the chromosomes, the vagina and the estrogen and you are a "man", you're doing it wrong.

    It's actually a very attractive feature in a girl. I would ignore your mom and be happy with the body that God provided you with.

      I think you need to read the question again. Her Mom supports her. She needs to listen to her mother.

        Oh wow, that's a little embarrassing. I thought that her mom said that pretty girls have no hips, my bad.

    Let me tell you, guys like curves. We like boobs, hips, asses, thighs etc... Those skinny girls don't cut it for most people.

    Women aren't supposed to be any certain way. We're all different. Your mom is the weird one.
