+164 Guys: You don't understand why girls find it necessary to put one hand on their hip when someone is taking a picture of them, amirite?

Because that's what a lot of models do and girls are conditioned from a young age to try to look and act like models.

I do this sometimes and for me it's just so I have somewhere to put my hand. :p

It accentuates their hips, which men find attractive.

also if your hands are at your sides, it squishes your arms and makes em look fatter

It's actually a pose that turns one's waist to the side slightly, making one look thinner.

it's so much more comfortable than just standing there with your arms dangling at your sides awkwardly

It's so your arm doesn't look awkward looking on the side

And then they would bend backwards a lot and turn their body to the side. Quick question, why do a lot of "girl" post seem to apply to the popular girls? We're not all like this...

Not like what?

Annoying and irritating. And we don't all wear makeup, and we're not all slutty, and we don't all act a certain way. It's odd that a lot of posts that are directed to girls or that are about girls have us portrayed in the same way.

Give me just one solid example as to how this post implies all girls are slutty and covered in makeup?

I just do it cause it improves my posture for the picture.

I do it because I don't know what else to do with my arms.

As others have said, it's just awkward feeling, for me at least, to have my hands just limp at my sides. Also, it creates the illusion that you're thinner than you actually are, plus it makes your bust and waist look bigger, especially since it makes you stand up straight. And for me it just makes me feel more confident.
