    If a woman has a small waist, then her butt is great. It can be round, big, low, tight………whatever. It’s the curves that go to it that make all the difference.

    It is attached to a woman (optional)

    For me it’s too intangible to describe. I know a nice butt when I see one. I was hoping you had a photo posted, for reference.

  5. tenabletheory Avatar

    I would refer to sir mixalot for this one.

    I prefer shape over size. If it’s nice and round that’s all that really matters

    Ha, right below this post in the Reddit homepage was Jamie Presley in a swimsuit.

    Here’s a question, there is your answer.

    I think the real answer is gonna be who you ask. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What I think might be fine another might find to skinny and vice versa

  13. ShreksLilSwampSlut Avatar

    If it ain’t fegalicious then the definition is it doesn’t make the boys go crazy

  14. Gamer30168 Avatar

    Put it this way: if you’re a guy and you see a butt and you think to yourself “Boy! I might enjoy bouncing my balls off of that!” then it’s probably a nice butt.

  15. Do_The_Floof Avatar

    Round. That’s it. It just needs to be round.

    Oh wait …….and proportionate to the rest of the body!!!

  16. kennhavoc Avatar

    Shape over size all day. Proportional to her legs and waist, small waist thick thighs. If she built like Mewtwo 👌👌

  17. Stuffedwithdates Avatar

    Self supporting, never saggy.

    I’ve had a few exes tell me I had a nice butt for a guy but I don’t know what a good looking ass on a guy or girl really looks like.

    I like a nice bone in rump, smoked till ready to pull apart and sauce up.

    We are talking BBQ right?

  21. dolly3900 Avatar

    Do you like it?

    Yes! It is a nice butt to you.

    No! It is not your preference for butt nicety.

    If it’s kind, thoughtful, and compassionate

  23. BrunoGerace Avatar

    It’s attached to a smart, funny, sassy, independent gal who has her shit sorted.

    Round, with some jiggle. A little cellulite is fine but to much gives that diaper butt look.

    Used to always be a nice shape, but lately people seem to think it means fat

    Big booty daddy here… any size, shape, as long as it’s curvy. 😊

  29. Ok_Solution_1282 Avatar

    You just know one when you see one. It just looks right. Every woman is built differently but their hips, back, legs and stomach can either make or break their overall butt shape.

    Some women are just dangerous walking around in certain dresses and then there’s the yoga pants with the tight fit or the woman with the perfect wiggle when she walks that looks like two midgets in the back of her pants wrestling over a turkey leg.

    Then there’s that “sleeper” butt. The one that doesn’t look good until she bends over randomly and you catch a glimpse and you’re like “Oh…”. 👀

    Butt is bigger than the stomach

    It is completely subjective.

    Shape takes president over size. I’ve seen some HUUUGE asses that I wouldn’t want to see out of those tweety bird pajama pants

  34. The_Nermal_One Avatar

    Totally subjective… just as the great and merciful god of butts intended.

  35. Internal_Fennel_849 Avatar

    Plump but not hanging out in shorts

    not bushy, wait this is #1 not #2

  39. RobinGood94 Avatar

    Depends on preference, but generally proportionality, volume and shape are the top for me.

    My ex was a small woman. Skinny. However, her butt was proportionate to her body. So, despite being “small” it was still rlly cute and hot. It had enough volume to jiggle and such.

    Alternatively, when someone’s butt is just way out of proportion one way or another it’s a turn off for me. Giant woman with a small butt or small woman with a giant butt.

    When it comes to skinnier women, a nice shapely defined butt is gorgeous.

    The thicker you are, just a nice plump set of mounds back there is such a beautiful view. Proportionate of course.

    it has to be shapely!! it doesn’t matter how big it is but rather how GOOOOOOD it is. all asses are aces!

    Shape+Size but It’s true that shape owns Size.

    Personal preference. Mine is my wife’s 💗

  43. Additional-Share7293 Avatar

    Back dimples score extra points, although some may not consider them part of the butt.

  44. JazzFan1998 Avatar

    To take this seriously,  there is no one shape that is best. I might enjoy looking at 10 different ones and like all of them even if they’re different. 
    (And I’m a boob man, even though you didn’t ask!)

    Muscular and round

    I know one when I see one and it makes me go schwing

  47. RunNo599 Avatar

    There are so many different classifications for butts, the muffin top, the teardrop (because it’s good enough to make you cry) it’s kind of like domestic cats. Same species, different patterns. You just know it when you see it

  48. Jewderp916 Avatar

    Each guy is different and each butt is different.

    I like all kinds of butts. Big and bulbous, small and round but firm, apple bottom, peach shaped. Like em all. Just get some definition on them T.

  49. concretetroll60 Avatar

    We looking for them J-Lo booties big ol ass round and fat

  50. Ok-Caterpillar7331 Avatar

    Good hip to waist ratio and cheek pronouciation

  51. RobbSnow64 Avatar

    Overall perportions, same with any part of the body. Thats why people don’t like any body alterations, screws with the natural perportions.

  52. mauore11 Avatar

    I have two criteria for this. 1 it must feel nice and 2 must be attatched to my wife

  53. Pirate_Testicles Avatar

    Round, definitely not saggy and weird like the Kardashians, real and clean.

  54. IllprobpissUoff Avatar

    It’s a delicate mixture of fat at muscle.

  55. CleverDad Avatar

    One that fits the girl well. Girls are different.

  56. Tyrigoth Avatar

    If it makes you wonder what it feels like, the chances are good it’s a nice butt.

  57. sketchymetal Avatar

    Can you park your bike in it?

  58. Galactus1701 Avatar

    It has to look proportionate to the woman’s body. That’s why I am not a fan of women with butt implants that have huge glutes and chicken-like legs.

    You look at butt, you like butt.

    Every but is a nice butt , we do not body shame because butts have been there for us in our highs and lows they have been there for us to cheer us up and to remind us what is worth living for All butt is good butt it doesn’t matter if it’s big, small ,round or skinny All butts are good butts , God bless America.

  61. SwordTaster Avatar

    Round and perky

  62. rosebudpillow Avatar

    Round and firm

  63. Practical-Anywhere67 Avatar

    …I recently realized that I have a nice butt, because everytime I walk away from a group of people, I always hear someone say “what an ass!!”…

  64. mathaiser Avatar

    Firm muscle.

    If it’s big or skinny it doesn’t matter if it’s all jiggle and jello. No one likes that.

  65. I_am_catcus Avatar

    I don’t think there’s a universal answer for this. To me, a nice butt’s round and shapely – the size doesn’t really matter

  66. 80_Percent_Done Avatar

    Round and jiggly!

  67. Goldf_sh4 Avatar

    There are none. If you like it, it’s nice.

    Keri Russell’s butt, which she generously shares on The Americans, would be the definition of a ‘good butt’

  70. Justthefacts6969 Avatar

    High and tight for me

  71. Yuuu-san Avatar

    good shape + good size (proportional to the size of the lady in question). that’s literally it

  72. RepresentativeNo1833 Avatar

    One that does not fart a lot and one that does not leak….

  73. Major_n_Squirrel Avatar

    I meet my wife’s standards… that’s all the matters?

  74. chickenandbisket Avatar

    Depending on the person I rate by a combo of size shape and recoil

  75. FosterPupz Avatar

    As with all things, standards will vary from person to person.

  76. CountessLyoness Avatar

    Queen seemed to think fat bottom girls made the rocking world go round. Sir Mix-a-Lot thought the bubble with a tiny waist was the go. Little Richard liked long tall Sally’s. Black eyed peas liked lots of junk in the trunk.

    A nice ass is in the eye of the beholder. I like firm with a bit of squish on top, but not flat. Frog butt isn’t for me.

  78. Aggravating_Anybody Avatar

    I mean anything natural that looks nice with some thickness. J-Lo in her prime was a classic, imo.

    Any BBL candidates can kindly get the fuck outta here.

    Shape is wayyyy more important size. What you rather see in bed, a perfect little inverted heart, or Cardi B’s deformed pygmy booty??

  80. Mr-Bry-Guy Avatar

    Proportionate to the body with a little more fat. That’s what I consider a nice butt.

  81. supernovaPp Avatar

    Callipygous” is a very vague concept. For instance, would Kim Kardashian be considered callipygous? Personally, I would say no — her buttocks are overly large and lack structural harmony. On the other hand, could a model be described as callipygous? Absolutely — even if she is relatively flat. Take Kendall Jenner, for example: she fits within standard modeling proportions, and while she may appear flat to some, she still exhibits a balanced and aesthetically pleasing shape. Therefore, in my view, “callipygous” does not simply mean having a large buttocks. Rather, it refers to one that is well-shaped, firm, and proportionate to the rest of the body — ideally with muscle tone and no visible cellulite.
