    Default Back Dimples the New It Thing? SMH

    How Can You Get Back Dimples With Exercise?

    by Nia Shanks
    It’s my duty to inform you of what has become a new ‘it’ physical feature that defines beauty and, apparently, sex appeal: back dimples (i.e., Venus dimples, butt dimples).

    Excuse me … I just threw up a little.

    I confess that ‘back dimples’ were not something I was consciously aware of until recently when a writer, working on an article about this topic, contacted me asking “… are there any exercises that can help with [back dimples] rather than getting a surgical option.”
    My first thought after reading that email: you have got to be kidding me. This – indentations of the posterior sacroiliac joint (i.e., SI joint) – is a new ‘it’ feature worthy of recognition, and there’s a surgical option to create it? My second thought: holy crap, there’s actually a surgery for this?


    This is a prime example of what’s wrong with the women’s health and fitness and ‘beauty’ world. I’m apparently naïve because, just when I thought there was nothing else about our bodies to criticize, ‘must have features’ to attain, a flaw that must be fixed, or a new sexy standard dangled in front of us, back dimples are ‘in.’

    And, hey, remember the surgical option I mentioned? If your back dimples don’t pop out enough, the solution is simple: “Using a short cannula (like a pencil) through a small incision less than 1cm across, the vibration and heat helps break down the fat from inside, and a suction cannula is then used to absorb the fat and sculpt the V spot area and dimples.”


    Problem solved, ladies! Just fork over a few grand to get a small incision and have the fat sucked right out (I mean, we all know how terrible fat is and that we should get rid of it at any cost) and enjoy your beauty-enhancing butt dimples. Voila: you’re a more beautiful, valuable, sexually appealing woman. (Well, at least until the next ‘it’ feature arrives.)


    Bringing the sarcasm down a notch, I will say this: your body is your body and you can do whatever you want with it. But, at some point, when will we (women, society) stop and ask Why? when we see things like ‘back dimples are the new perfectly round butt’ or, quite frankly, When with this nonsense end? when society, celebrities, and photo-shopped pictures become the sources relied on to determine how we should value or bodies and the ‘standards’ we’re told to strive toward?


    You may wonder why I’m so agitated about back dimples. (I seriously can’t write those two words without cringing.)

    First, a woman’s body is not a resume to determine her worth. Any physical feature will not enhance, or decrease, her value or awesomeness. Second, external ideals change on a whim and are something we have no control over and should therefore be irrelevant. We shouldn’t allow society, or anyone for that matter, to determine our values or set blanket standards; you can, and should, determine your values and focus on those personally chosen internal measures because that is what you can control.


    For example, there’s a difference between working out and eating well because you want to improve your health, get stronger, and feel more confident (internal measures driven by a process) and depriving, striving, punishing, and fatiguing your way to an appearance declared to be ‘ideal’ or because you think it will make you more valuable to others (external measures focusing on a result). The former leads to happiness and empowerment; the latter to frustration and disappointment.


    If you take the time to choose your values, back dimples will most likely not make the list. If they are on the list, you’ll hate me and anything I have to say and you may even send me an email calling me mean names and tell me I’m stupid.
    So, How Can You Get Back Dimples?

    Ah, yes. Back to the “how a woman can get back dimples through exercise” question.
    That question is galactically stupid and rather than continue this conversation I pose a question to women who want back dimples: why do you want them? Is it because a celebrity brought attention to this feature and you saw the reaction it created in other people? It was deemed ‘sexy’ and attractive, no doubt.
    What do you think you could accomplish if you took the ‘I want back dimples’ energy and put it elsewhere? What if, for example, you committed to building strength with your workouts. What if, instead of trying to attain the newest ‘it feature’ you created a regimen that made you feel great and actually made you appreciate your body for what it can do? What if you took the time to ask What really matters to me and what do I want? and then designed your actions around that purpose?


    Bottom line: the whole back dimple thing is another item added to the ever-growing list of mind-boggling bullshit, and sadly it won’t be the last. But the good news is that we don’t have to put up with it.


    We can exit the conversations about what defines beauty and the ‘standards’ women should strive toward, and hopefully other women will be inspired by our actions and follow suit. We can proclaim that it’s not women’s bodies that need to be reshaped and transformed, but rather society’s attitude and perception of what defines beauty, value, and self-worth. And it sure as hell isn’t back dimples

    This is hilarious! Dimples are just genetic. I love my "Venus dimples" - not because they are en vogue, but because they are a part of me.

    The idea is to embrace what we are born with and treat our bodies well. That's confidence. And THAT is what is sexy.

    Let me clarify my wife was a little over 120 lbs when we met 5'7 and she is now 20 lbs heavier. I had her stop the cardio and start lifting heavy which she likes and I prefer her thicker but in the process of gaining weight she has lost her dimples. Here is a pic she sent yesterday not bad for 41

    Back Dimples the New It Thing? SMH-img_6659.jpg

    This is one of my "Day 1" photos from the log for my current Ostarine/Cardarine cycle. In the words of John Mulaney, I'm a little fat girl right now. Very little tone and about 10lbs of extra fat. Still, the dimples are present lol

    Side note: I need to get better at taking progress pictures, and will put more effort into progress photos for weeks 2, 4, and 6. This is just one from the embarrassing "before" set.

    I know we all have problems with body image and always look at things in a negative light; but by no means would I call you a little fat girl. You have a figure 90-95+% of the female population would kill for.

    Wait until you get a little more muscle and definition and we can take that number up to 100%

    Hiedikins, you have NOTHING to be embarrassed about! You look really good! Might not be what you WANT to look like, but none the less, you look very, very good.

    Thanks, guys. :-)

    While I'm not exactly at my best, this being my worst isn't a terrible thing. Will be 36 this summer, and genetics have treated me well. I definitely can't complain about the starting point of getting back into shape, and I don't take it for granted. There is still a lot of work to do, and I'm excited to be doing it!!

    I was just kidding about the fat girl thing. I love John Mulaney's New in Town stand-up, and it's from that!

    lol drtbear about throwing up a little. heidikins, you look great, but i like a little meat on women. we all have preferences of what we like and don't like. my wife at 53 still looks great to me and i'm still chasing her around. yes we got older and aren't what we use to be, but if it was looks i was marrying, i'd have been married several times over. needless to say my wife and i will be celebrating our 34th year of marriage this year, bad looks and all, lol.
    darn good post drtbear, more ppl need to realize it.

    100% agree.............on the counter side. Some women are so pretty that we get destracted by it so much so that we don't see their horrible character flaws until it is too late.................beauty comes from the inside.
