I hate this description but I don't think I really know what it means.
I'm athletic and lean. I'm 32C-23-33 and 5'1. Is this stocky? I think 2 people have desribed my body as this and I don't get it. I thought stocky meant stout or fat.![]()

Doesn't sound stocky to me. My measurements are 5'3 and 31C-24-34 (ie bigger than yours) and I'm both described as thin and am objectively so (BMI of 19), though I've no muscle to speak of. When people refer to you as 'stocky' they may be referring to the fact that you're short and muscular. I couldn't imagine anyone would mean that you're in the slightest overweight, since your measurements indicate you're on the petite side.





Do u measure the waist right around where your naval is or is it above the naval?




stock·y /ˈstɒki/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[stok-ee] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–adjective, stock·i·er, stock·i·est.
1. of solid and sturdy form or build; thick-set and, usually, short.
2. having a strong, stout stem, as a plant.
I'd say they're definitely referring to your height and muscle mass.





"Stocky" just sounds so ugly to me.![]()
Thats just ridiculous. Maybe you have a muscular build and they aren't finding the right words to compliment you.





Mine is
32.3
24
29.5
Im pissed off I want my waist to be 22 inches.

Not many people who don't waist train have waists under 23 inches. Your measurements are teeny, hon. I wish my hips were under 30 *jealous*.
Wow jaizaine your hips are tiny!! wtf, most runway models are 32-34 inches!
oh...wow...if you're stocky, i don't know what i am...i'm about the same height (between 5'0 and 5'1) and i'm like 35-24-36...and i generally get called 'tiny'

I don't think measurements have anything to do with being stocky. When I think of someone that is stocky I think of muscular legs and broad shoulders.





Well I DO have broad shoulders and muscular legs (not as thick as the girl's who said I was stocky though).
I still hate the word STOCKY. How unfeminine.
You sound like a lil' hourglass to me. I'd love to have those measurements.
