Okay, that's simply enough that even I can follow it. I know lots of apple
men, but as someone who was fat from a very young age, I didn't get fat just
in my belly. I think those with belly fat are mainly those who because fat
after many years of not being fat, at least, that is my observation on it.

Interesting idea. Beer-belly-guy was a not so fat guy who got fat as an
adult. Fat-all-over-guy or fat-pear-guy has been fat from a young age.

Speaking as a formerly not-fat-guy, then adult beer-belly-guy, past a
point, you do start to get fatter all over but I never had had that much
fat on my arms and legs even at my heaviest.

I can't seem to figure out what is meant by an apple shape.



They have a picture. If you gain weight in your legs, you're a
pear; if you gain weight around your waist (me), you're an apple.
I don't see too many pears. For me, I have almost no weight
around my legs (I can see individual quad muscles), but I'm still
at least 30 pounds overweight, all on my stomach.

What if you gain weight everywhere, like me? Am I a hybrid
apple/pear?



Interesting. Maybe. I wonder if there is a "hybrid" body type? I
know that my first girlfriend was definitely an apple -- when she
gained weight, it was all in her legs.

That's a pear. Think how a pear looks -- think of the female figure -- got
it?

then she was a classic pear.

I'm a classic pear. Yep -- me and J. Lo. THAT is a sexy pear shape. J. Lo
is pear-a-rific! Me, well, I am about two pears right now -- I need to pare
down! (I must stop! Must stop!).
