Back dimples?
 

So I was just reading the thread on what people are excited about for losing weight, and I noticed the topic of back dimples a lot. I have a question about it--but didn't want to hijack the thread!

Anyway, I always thought back dimples were bad. Like butt dimpesl (yikes!). So what's the deal? Where do they come from, what positive/negative/neutral things have you heard about them?

I've never really given them much thought. I was just reading about them after seeing your thread and apparently they are genetic. You can have them whether you are overweight or thin. Supposedly you are born w/ them or you aren't. But it's interesting that they are supposed to be "sexually desirable," according to Wikipedia.

i heard that back dimples are a result of low body fat and exercised muscles. and from what I have known they are thought to be attractive. i haven't hearad too much about them though, and I didn't even think they were something everyone had until i googled and found the things I stated in the first sentence. idk, i would like too know more too.

I find them attractive but I would have never have called them "dimples".

I'm not too sure that they have anything to do with how skinny you are or anything, because I still had mine when I was up to 210 in weight and I was completely inactive and I still have them now. I think it's just genetic.

I'm pretty sure they are genetic just like the dimples on your face

Very interesting! Thank ladies!

They are genetic. My boyfriend's mom n brother have them. They stay there no matter what size you are.

I've always had them, no matter what weight I was. They've become more pronounced as I've gotten smaller, but I'm going to go with everyone else and say they're genetic :)

I've always heard them referred to as the "Dimples of Venus," but I'm not sure where that came from.

my sister has them... I dont... so sad

I've always had them too at every weight. They are definitely becoming deeper though as I lose weight. I also have face dimples. Any correlation between the two?

Ap90, I also have face dimples along with the back dimples. I think it'd be pretty amusing if you automatically had face dimples if you had back dimples. :)

I wonder if they're at all connected?

Genes. I have them, and have them no matter what my weight (though I do think they're more pronounced when I'm slender). My daughter was born with them too.

I have face dimples but they're subtle. They don't show up unless I smile, although I don't have to smile wide for them to appear.

I had a face dimple on one side but it seems to have disappeared over the years. I don't think I have back dimples, sadly, but both of my sisters do. The jerks stole my genes! :P

I have them.. but they only show when I get thinner (under the 150s). That's when my BF noticed and pointed them out to me.. From everyone that I've heard talk about them, they're supposed to be attractive. I don't really mind having them lol, but they don't show as much when I'm bigger which seems strange to me now.
