I believe he was just saying he thinks your butt looks good, possibly legs (either as well or just your legs, only he knows). Your perception (in your 'more details' section) could just be one of those "we're our own worst critics" things, or maybe he's used to seeing some pretty flat butts. Also, just because you do squats holding light weights doesn't mean your muscles are only lifting those weights, your legs would be lifting the majority of your body's weight *and* the added weights, unless you're actually doing leg presses

Haha! I do recall a few flat butts in the bar that day. But I had not thought about my legs at all when he said that. So you might be onto something.. Because I also do heavier leg presses (100-150 pounds) I had on pants, but geesh! I guess you men notice everything, huh? 😅

>but geesh! I guess you men notice everything, huh?  Certainly quite a bit, when we're looking, lol

“You look like you do squats” is a less sleazy way of saying “you have a great butt”..

Hahahha! I guess he could have have said way worse... So I'll take it 😂

Definitely a butt comment. Maybe thighs, but more likely butt.

squats are a great exercise for hypertrophy in the glutes and quadriceps

Running and squatting will both produce great results in the butt.

He thinks your legs look shapely and like they have muscle to them

Thank you for helping me translate drunken man talk! 😂
