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 think many men have small flat bums. Unless they do specific exercises to increase those muscles.
I can't say I find prominent arse an attractive feature in the opposite sex. I guess this could be a reverse? I'd imagine it would be more elements of the homosexual community who might be having an interest in shapely male bottoms? As long as it works, that's all that matters! 🤣

Like Jordan in the bbc show “fun boys “
he wins a competition for having rhe flattest arse

Oh I LOVE Funboys! I feel like I discovered it by accident flicking through the channels one night, heard the accents and thought it would be a cringe fest (I'm from the north of Ireland), but found it properly funny.
My OH also has a really flat arse. I find it an unattractive feature - there's nothing there to grab onto.

People do suffer muscular atrophy as they age

Poor bastard is only in his 40s!

Made me laugh out loud this comment! 🤣

I think you'll find it's called 'a back with a crack'.

It you avoid pegging you'll be ok? No?

This thread is hilarious to read.

I think it’s especially bad if there is a podgy belly and a skinny arse.

A great arse is all about shape and how it looks relative to the rest of the body.
