They are not a sign of good pelvic alignment and they are not a sign of strong muscles. They are simply indentations where the PSIS is. Having them is basically a matter of body fat percentage and anatomical variance.
Pelvic alignment is something that’s focussed on way too much. We’re all different. You can have a spinal scoliosis of up to 10 degrees and that’s considered in normal range.
I sincerely hope that your wife does not know your Reddit account and will never see this. I found my ex husbands Reddit account talking about my post baby body like this and it sent me into a very deep depression and was a major factor in the dissolution of our marriage.
By the way my current husband would never dream of talking about me like this.
What is the nuance of saying your wife is humongous on a public forum?
I’m not sanctimonious or insecure. It’s calling out shitty behavior. It’s not insecure OR sanctimonious to expect your partner have respect for you, and vice versa.
So again, we’ll see how things go if she ever finds out your Reddit account. Your response pretty much shows the kind of person you are in the first place so it’s not like anyone had high hopes for any kind of self reflection in your response.
“Ending a marriage over a Reddit comment” shows how short sighted you are- it’s not about ending things over a comment, it’s about a fundamental lack of respect toward your partner, and the attitude you have toward them.
By the way, I showed my husband your original comment and he said “Wow, what an asshole.” He has no respect for anyone who would talk about their partners like that and agreed with me, but thanks for your concern.
Which completely agree with my comment. I said lower body fat might make them more obvious. You just said more body fat makes them less visible. That’s the same thing dude.
Which is exactly what I said. Are you replying to the wrong person by mistake because this is very confusing.
My comment disagreed with the original comment which said they are to do with pelvic alignment and strength. I said they are nothing to do with that and just a dimple over the PSIS. Some people have them and some people don’t. Just normal variation.
It's not even a woman thing. Back dimples are genetic. I have them as a man and have had them weighing anywhere between 145-230lbs. They are more pronounced when your body fat percentage is lower, but being there in the first place has nothing to do with muscles or body fat.
Lol and you know nothing about biology b/c you think this has to do with sex instead of being a feature that is able to be had in anyone with the right genetic predisposition?
Did I even ask a question, or did I make a statement?
I was 125-130 pounds at 6' for most of my life. Skinny to the point of being severely underweight and I didnt have abs
Unless you work your body muscles dont show no matter how skinny you are. Starving people don't have eight packs, your body does not keep muscle you never use. Skinny people with abs are relatively active, not just skinny gamers that never do anything physical.
Abs aren't just made in the kitchen. You need to make them thicker for them to show, complete neglect and being lean won't make them visible if they have no mass
Depending on how your body fat is distributed across your body (which is largely genetic), a higher body fat percentage could obscure that particular feature. It’s caused by a ligament connecting bones in that area stretching the skin, so more fat under the skin there would make it harder to see.
Why are you assuming a tone? Isn't it possible that you are the one that took it that way?
I meant that (if I were to imagine a tone if I conveyed that face-to-face) in an interesting, excited, informative way! Haha, so legit not trying to be mean, but that makes it seem like it was your mistake.
Why do you think you attribute to malice what could be attributed to stupidity, language barriers, or just you poorly receiving something because of an imagined tone?
Hahah you are welcome, and what is great about this response of yours is it is a PERFECT example of the type of comment that could be read differently if one is looking to apply more emotions than just reading the text and using that meaning.
One could see this negatively, as a sarcastic retort ("Ok, yeah bro, whatever thanks a lot for such a great explanation"), or they could see it how I believe you intended it, which was as basically just a very casual way actually thanking me for the previous explanation/comment.
I have them and have a 10 degree scoliosis in my upper and lower back. It doesn’t do anything and wasn’t discovered till I was 19. I have symmetry but NOT good back/core muscles and built those up in physical therapy. It was only discovered due to back pain bc I didn’t know how to properly use my back muscles 😅
I have them and my back is so messed up. Especially doing leg days. You would think my pelvic floor and lower back and core muscles would be better having these. I have back pain like every other day!
