    Very few men have a massive waist/hip ratio, you will find only women have this, at 37 you could be a little stocky depending on your height etc, also depends where you are measuring it

      Thanks Alexandria..some 32" pants fit me. 34 is OK. I don't eat huge amounts of food. I'm 11 St 5lbs in weight. At 65 years of age. I feel and look young. Cheers Kevin..

      In our age group you sound as though you have your weight and size under control so long as you aren't 4 foot tall 😂 so I would just keep an eye on your waist size as men tend to go a little lower when measuring their waist its actually a bit above your belly button not on it and not below the stomach.

      I'm same and have recently been told I look good for my age so it's a real boost to our self esteem
