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

Met someone lovely. I do fancy him. But, he has a small bum. He very much needs a belt. It’s basically flat. He’s late 40s and lost a lot of weight in last few years (previously overweight now a healthy weight) which I think has emphasised this even more.

Girlfriends are saying this is normal with age (he’s around 8 years older than me) and happens with all men. Does it?! I’ve never noticed it before. I don’t want this to be an issue as I really do like him. We’ve not DTD yet

I have never noticed this on men, my husband was always self conscious about having a small bum but I never particularly fancied the idea of a man with a huge big bottom so I never got what the issue was 😂

hope you can get over it. ageing definitely changes people’s body shape

i always wonder how come that older men seen to have big bodies with tiny legs and younger men have shorter bodies with longer legs. I do not understand how this can happen and I am fairly intelligent.. but rare to see an older guy with long legs. Some men look like they are 70% upper body once over 50, especially if overweight …

I know exactly what you mean!
My husband is tremendously powerful over the shoulders and arms, but has the hips and legs of a much smaller man!
Definitely a pancake bum😁

Walk on front of him?

Best solution 😂

My DH is 70 and has a fantastic arse. He’s aged like a fine wine.

I’m late 30s fairly slim and have always had a pancake flat arse. Last relationship was with a guy aged 63 and he had a butt that won’t quit 😍 it’s genetics!

I can deadlift just shy of 190kg and still don't have that round shelved arse a lot of women get lifting half that. It's deformed not flat though.

FFS!

"Defo not flat'! Not bloody deformed. 😆😆😆

I've always been fit and healthy, I'm 20 years older than OP's fella, and I have a posterior that would put the back of a bus in shadow.
So no, OP, men's bums don't magically disappear when they hit 40
🤷 😂. Absolutely bizarre notion.

Well, it may be a bit shallow, but I think if you haven't even slept with someone and you're questioning whether you can accept his body, it's a sign you just aren't into him enough.

You can't be serious.

I'm just sat here perplexed- I had no idea this was something people cared about 😂 I'm a lesbian anyway, but I've genuinely never once in my life thought about someone's butt shape lol.

Can you buy him a butt lift for Christmas?
