This is one of those issues that depends upon the individuals physique. If you are indeed 10-12% and not seeing them you need to go lower. Some people see them at a higher level and yes, it is ok to hate them.

Out of curiousity, what are your stats? I've always noticed the more muscular one is the sooner the abs can be seen.

i think if you really want definition on the lower part of the abs you need around 7-8..

It depends on the individual. Some people never show a sixpack even at extremly low body fat levels and some show at 16-18%.

I have a nice sixpack at fifteen percent, at ten percent or less it becomes a sick really cool sixpack with veins in the lower one third. I don't stay that clean (8-10%) most of the time because I have to eat too often or I feel really bad, ten - twelve percent is my norm.
