How do you make wrists bigger? I don't want to work out a lot and than my wrists will be way smaller than the rest of my arm. So how do u make wrists bigger?

you're forearms you have some control over, and might get bigger with wrist curls and working on grip strength. But im afraid if you have really skinny wrists, you are stuck with them, there isnt really anything there to get bigger.
Seriously though, not much you can do about wrist size however if you want to increase forearm size then improve grip strength. I suggest hold a heavy barbell static for about a minute. As your grip improves increase the weight...you'll look like popeye in no time.
You could also try wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, and reverse grip barbell curls all are good forearm exercises.
Also if you concentrate on getting bigger overall your foreamars will grow with the rest of the body.

Dumbell Hammer curls
reversed EZ bar curls
Farmer walks or static hold (just hold a really heavy barbell with alot of weight loaded onto it until your arms feel like jelly!)
wrist curls

Get a wrist transplant j/k
Yeah my wrists arent all that big either. But I still see guys with small wrists but large arms and forearms so I try not to worry about it. Should have drank more milk growing up you know it does the boy good.

I don't think milk would help? Because i'm pretty sure the bone is big, but there's no meat or muscle!

Can't really increase your wrist size...it doesn't really matter, as long as you have big forearms and arms, shoulders, it will look proporional
Like look at the size of my wrists here...it is pretty damn skinny...I can wrap my thumb and index finger around and have them overlap each other...

I have skinny wrists too but i don't mind. Makes the rest of my arm appear bigger and more muscular than it really is especially my forearms.
The least you can do maybe is at least work them with weights as suggested above and even if they don't get bigger at least they will get stronger.
The wrist area is mostly bone and the bone usually gets bigger with resistance training depending on other things in the body like hormones, nutrition and genetics(which plays a huge role in your bodies looks,shape and make up and it's adapability to changes).
I've seen guys at the gym doing less weight than myself and with larger wrists than myself, using wrist straps too so I am not too worried about my wrists.

YOU DON'T WANT BIG WRISTS!!! I have really thick wrists.
Like gh05t said, small wrists usually equals small joints, which makes your muscles look bigger.
Small joints make a guy with an average build look extremely big.

Meat/muscle? Nobody has meat/muscle around the wrists. There are certain parts of the body where there is virtually no buffer between your bone and your skin (another area is the ankle). The only way people have big wrists (or ankles, shins, etc...) is because they are bigger boned. Anyway, why are you so concerned about wrists. If you work on your whole arm the wrists will not be an issue (you and everyone else will always focus on your forearm).
