Like him but struggling with this physical feature that apparently all men have of a certain age?

The 70s and 80s were also all about having a smaller bum. I find the whole big bum trend baffling.

That said, OP, clearly, you're just not that into him or you really wouldn't care.

Joking aside, I really wouldn't risk having injections, just to get a bigger bum. I'm always reminded of the utterly tragic case of the 33yo woman who died, when the procedure went wrong, leaving 5 children behind.

If he has a flat arse after losing weight, there’s a good chance that is his natural body shape. Some people just have flatter rears.

If it’s going to put you off having a physical relationship with him then you should probably just move on. But if you are happy with everything else about him, keep in mind that his backside is one of his parts you are going to spend least time looking at.

It is designed to make women feel uncomfortable about their bodies. It looks like the media is trying to move away from the healthier muscular look. I have noticed a rise in celebrity influencers rocking the old heroin chic look, pushing an unhealthy agenda. I have seen an uptake locally of women who were overweight by a stone or two now looking very thin using the jab for the last bit which leaves them with a gaunt face.
Everyone is hitting 8 stone. Won’t be long before catwalk models follow the trend.

Yep, his Wikipedia page goes into enormous detail about his bottom and its changing shape over the decades, and how that has correlated with the fashions of each era.

A quirky fact that many may not realise about Bruce, the famous bottom-haver, is that he's actually also a singer and musician, who has even released some of his music commercially; and one or two people have commented that they reckon it's fairly good - it's mentioned in a footnote right at the end!

He’d probably benefit from strength training at his age but yes, I’d say it’s fairly common for men to have a flat arse. How often would you be looking at his arse for this to put you off?

Yeah you're probably right. Sadly for me I'm an apple shape so this doesn't apply to me and my bum is much flatter these days :(
So would definitely would benefit from a booty injection!
Although not advocating it as apparently these injections can be deadly 😳
Better just stick to heavy weights to increase glute muscle mass/bulk (I'm off to Google some videos!) lol.....

I've never understood the idea of body types being 'fashionable'. Maybe if clothes models with that body type are flavour of the month for a season, and so they're particularly in demand and get more work; but what is the point in telling ordinary people that their body shape 'isn't in fashion'?

It's not like you can do anything to change it - are you just supposed to stay at home for a few years and never go out and inflict your horrendously unfashionable body type on the public, waiting until the body that you have is supposedly fashionable again and fit to be seen?!

Agree. Must be his body shape. Certainly not standard for man in late 40s!

Yes. I thought Bruce was noted for his very good bottom shape.

Is this a false memory?

Incidentally, one of those rare artists who appealed to both sexes.

This is the stage you are meant to fancy everything about him! I think he’s prob not for you?

As is often the case, it’s clear the issue here is not the issue.
If you have to spend time and energy twisting yourself into a pretzel to be attracted to this guy - due to whatever reason - you’re just not attracted to him.
I can’t really see a future for the two of you when the only thing thousands of Mumsnetters know about this dude is that he is gluteally underenhanced 😄
This kind of thing doesn’t come up in many wedding speeches - ‘….and what’s really funny is when we first got together, my beautiful bride took to an internet forum to discuss whether she could look past my HORRIBLE FLAT BUM, so here’s to the Mumsnetters that told her to give it a go 🥂’

No judgement here, OP, but I think your instincts have spoken and you should probably listen to them.

You sound shallow. How would you feel if he wanted to dump you because your tits were to small.

Women are (often)more likely to store fat around their bum and thighs. So the muscle loss might go more unnoticed?

Yep I've often thought the same thing. I was young and fashionable in the late 90s with slim legs, a little bum and big boobs....but now wish I had a booty and smaller boobs and a big chest can make you appear fatter than you really are.
Funny how fashions change !

Only you know if you can deal with his body.

I’ve heard of Sleepless in Seattle but Buttless in Brighton is a new one.

@Numppp Personally I would prefer no bum to a man having a protruding bum. Some do and I find it very unattractive- just as I find it attractive when it's a woman.

Yes it’s really weird how fashions have changed. Thirty years ago no woman wanted a big bum, and big bums on men were seen as rather feminine.

in the late 90’s and 2000’s no one wanted a big bum. Crazy how fashions change 😂

Does my bum look big in this? Yes. Slap!
Does my bum look big in this? Yes. Why thank you 🤩

Because it makes a nice change 😀

Doesn't this happen to women as well? Surely we all have atrophy of the muscles as we age unless we weight train, no?

Your only complaint is his bum is slightly smaller than your perfect guy. Is that all occupying your mind ?
Seriously let him go and find someone else equally critical...

I cannot imagine caring about this.
