Default 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

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.

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.
