They are more noticeable in people with a slim or toned physique, because the skin is less “hidden” by fat. But let’s be clear: you can’t “create” these dimples if they aren’t already there, no matter how many squats or plank exercises you do.
Apollo is not to be outdone: men also have their dimples
And no, these little indentations aren’t just for women. Men sometimes refer to them as ” Apollo holes .” A flattering reference to the god of beauty and physical prowess… no less!
Just as in women, these male dimples are perceived as a sign of physical harmony and vitality. In some sporting circles or on social media, they even symbolize a healthy lifestyle . But again, there’s no need to chase after them at all costs: they are neither a standard nor a prerequisite for feeling good about yourself.
Can they be made to appear with practice?
This is a common question, and the answer is simple: no. These dimples don’t depend on muscles, but on your bone structure. If they aren’t there, nothing will make them appear.
However, by adopting a balanced lifestyle – healthy eating, regular physical activity, and restful sleep – they may become more visible in those who are already predisposed to them. A bit like stars in the sky: they’re there, but you see them better when the air is clear.
