>>1978719>Is big-boned a myth?No, it's true. It's easily proven becasue even at the same height and weight people have different body shapes because their bones and fat distribution are a bit different. 2 women can be the same height in total, but one has long legs and a short torso, and the other the opposite with short legs and a long torso.
However "big boned" doesn't ever present itself as fat hanging in layers on top of the body, that's just a cope. Most fat people who say they're "just big boned" probably do not have particularly big bones, and if they do you can't tell because they have so much fat it's practically no longer relevant to their frame. The big 3 that make you look larger are wide set hips, a large rib cage, or wide shoulders. Even if you're at a low weight they make you look wider, but it's not all bad even then - wide hips are considered hot and you nearly always get a nice waist curve from it, large shoulders can make you look toned and muscular in an attractive way.
