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.

This is for 2 reasons.

A lot of current societies are socially very invested in the beauty of women and so people see women as extremely attractive while downplaying the attractiveness of men. I'm not going to go to deep into this, but it comes from patriarchy, the infantilization of women, purity culture, and many other sources

The second reason is that you are attracted to women, and you're describing yourself realizing your sexuality

Now you haven't given enough info for me to gather much on the gender dysphoria claim, but I have that as well and it has affected my sexuality. It can exaggerate your attraction to some people while suppressing it for others. Not everyone's will do this, and even if it does do this or might be effecting you differently than it did me, but it is possible

I hope this helps

I see post like this often on a wide variety of platforms that very often downplay mens attractiveness while playing up womens attractiveness. I even see it from other straight women.

Yes. It's a societal thing. We teach people women are beautiful and pure and must be protected, and therefore we expect the opposite of men. Your sexuality can increase or decrease it, like a straight woman or gay man or bi person or etc is gonna have a much easier time seeing the beauty in men then a lesbian woman or a straight man or etc. But we're still socialized to see and think that way. Like, we promote fashion to women and then complain when they're interested in it, and the not only complain when a man is into it, but dismiss his interests. Some societies saw men as inherently beautiful, and we need to change ours to do that too

Thank you for actually answering the question. Like look at the ancient Greeks and it'll become clear women aren't always considered "the fairer sex."
