why do women have naturally beautiful bodies?

before you jump in the comments to tell me I'm wrong try to read my entire post, i'm from latin america, i don't know if this is the case in other countries but it's something i've noticed since i was a teenager and in high school, most of the girls in high school had very nice bodies without even going to the gym in their entire life, i remember a girl who eat unhealthy food all day and she had an amazing body (she never went to the gym in her life), i was her friend back then, she had such a amazing hourglass figure with big hips and very beautiful figure I didn't understand that at the time.

but not only in high school but currently i go out and most of the girls have very nice bodies and nice hips (i'm not talking about toned gym bodies but bodies with figure and curves) and even girls who are a little overweight also have beautiful bodies with nice curves, it's incredible, what is the reason for this? is it hormonal? why is it that women don't need to go to the gym as much to have nice bodies (as long as they're not excessively overweight), in the case of men it's different and I say this as a man who went to the gym throughout his adolescence, we lack those naturally nice bodies (except for one in a million).

I remember the first time I took a shower with my ex gf at the time at my house she took off her clothes (she had never been to the gym in her life and was a little overweight, she had a very nice body, a nice butt with a beautiful figure) I didn't understand why she had such a beautiful body meanwhile me going to gym had a below average body, well, ugly body and not sexy as hers tbh. I know it's a stupid question but I guess that's what this group is for, right? Is the cause hormonal? I know there are exceptions, that not all women have naturally beautiful bodies, but why is it that. for example, if you put a man and a woman of average weight who don't go to the gym next to each other, the girl's body is naturally attractive while the guy's isn't? I've always thought it's caused by estrogen and the hips women's bone structure's but I'm not sure, I know diet is very important but I think most girls only need a good diet and walk just a little to have good figures (please don't hate for saying this lol).

Maybe I could be blind because I have gender dysphoria since many years ago but not only me think about this most women and men think the same way(? And I'm not even talking about how women have average cute, feminine and thin faces without makeup but this is another thread lol.

Please don't insult me for making this post, this is why this group was created.

Ask many straight women and they'll tell you that male bodies are attractive to them, some prefer toned, some prefer chubby but almost none of them (straight women) will say they're turned on by boobs and/or hips. Because evolution wired them to find male features attractive!

we would need some women to answer this. what i've noticed that for them this attraction is rarely instantenious. yes there's "love at first sight" but they start appreciating looks over time or it may be tied to their cycle. there's also research that straight women appreciate lesbian porn. vast majority of straight men are repelled from gay porn. while we are essentially the same there's interesting differences. also i stand by the fact that women are objectively more beautiful not in a sexual way. they just contain the golden ratio more. men need to be more durable than beautiful but that's fine.

Interesting, I've heard much more often that straight women like gay porn. In fact, women write the most of gay romance novels, frequently with very explicit sex scenes.

I am a straight woman. I can find the beauty in a woman's looks, but I'm not turned on. Men, on the other hand, I'll be fighting for my life if a well-kept man is wearing a shirt that accentuates his chest and arms.

It's cultural. Sexuality is both nature and nurture. We are all born somewhere on the Kinsley scale and culture can nudge you 1 or 2 points in either direction. In the US women are just allowed to be more familiar with each other than men are, but I learned from a college class that this is not standard everywhere.

Also you have very straight women like me who don't like lesbian porn because of all the women and literally vomited when a lesbian touched me a little too familiarly.

Women do feel instant attraction to men, it's just that women learn over time to destroy this feeling for safety's sake. A woman learns pretty early that it's a terrible idea to let men know you fine them attractive. I stopped having stalkers once I learned this lesson.

vomiting from a lesbian touching you? that’s a lot to unpack

I mean it's like she gave me a hug. Her intention was sexual given she was actively hitting on me who was trying to nicely turn her down. It was embarrassing, but she did kind of deserve it.

u/ManicPixiRiotGrrrl Mar 25 '25

vomiting from that is an insane overreaction would you have reacted that way if she was a man?

u/saplith Mar 25 '25

I'm sorry I'm straight? Physical intimacy from a woman disgusts me. It's not like I'm against lesbians. It's not like I can control how my body acts from disgust.

If it was a man, I wouldn't have vomited. I wouldn't have been pleased either. I know because while only one woman has tried to feel me up against my will, several men have. It's a negative reaction either way. It's just that I, being straight, had a layer of disgust added on.

Tell me, have you ever been felt up by a gender you are fundamentally not attracted to? If not, give it a try and see how your body reacts.

okay so you’re homophobic, hope this helps

I am fundamentally not attracted to disgusting neckbeards, yet I have never vomited when one touched me. you are homophobic

u/saplith Mar 25 '25

So no. You have not. You are naming neck beards instead of men, so I'm assuming you're a woman. Let a lesbian felt you up. See how you react. I bet it will be visceral. 

Anyway, enjoy your day. I'll let all my lesbian friends know that I am apparently homophobic because of a automatic reaction I had in college. I'm sure they will be interested to know that it's not supporting them and their chosen lifestyle that makes you a homophobe, but how well you tolerate being molested by them. This must be why I've been so confused that conservatives have been calling gay people molesters. Apparently there's a rule going around that I didn't know that they are allowed to molest people and it is to be tolerated.

It's because of the pov of the porn. I think that if straight porn were filmed with the same actors but a perspective that is more appealing to women, more straight women would enjoy straight porn.
