Yeah I laughed a bit too...you are born with a certain hip width, first of all. IMPOSSIBLE. Maybe you meant more the thigh area? It is impossible for a squat to make hips bigger -- to be honest, I think they made mine appear -- key word is APPEAR -- tighter and therefore smaller, in clothes, since there was less "jiggle" around the hip bone. I don't see why anyone would ever, in a million years, not want woman's hips (well a woman, ugh on a man!) Not sure what the hell that is about a Japanese woman's butt? Uh....not so much from what I have seen. Yes, black women, yes, Arab women...but Japanese? The worst kind of butt or hips to have imo is flat ass, no muscle tone, flab. I could say where I have seen what I call "FAS" or Flat Ass Syndrome
