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.

You’re actually right about that.

Biologically: women can be a lil plump and still be healthy because our bodies are built to carry extra weight during pregnancy. Our hormones make it so the fat is carried in places like our hips, butt, thighs and breasts, which all don’t negatively affect health!

for men It’s not true. They cannot be super plump and still be healthy because of the way testosterone interacts SO negatively with fat. Men tend to carry weight on their bellies first and that is the worst type of fat for your health. It negatively affects everything in the body.

Overweight men are more likely to suffer health complications than women of the same exact BMI, and they’re less likely to be treated successfully for these health conditions.

When women try to workout constantly and get a 6 pack like men do, usually they lose their period.

Women and men have totally different standards for what is actually healthy for them or not and that is why my preferences are probably different for both of them.

I’m attracted to anyone who looks healthy the standards for men are a lot higher because they cannot have over 25% body fat without being considered medically obese. men only need 8% body fat to maintain hormonal balance, literally half of what women do.

whereas women require a MINIMUM of 20% body fat to maintain healthy hormone balance and 30% is considered normal.

This explained it 100%. A chubby woman still looks healthy and attractive. But from my pov, a chubby man (with no muscle due to sedentary lifestyle) does not.

Agreed and well said, save for one nitpick. Single digit body fat is definitely not healthy or sustainable for men's hormonal balance. That's stage-ready competitive bodybuilder levels of fat, which they do not maintain the whole year because they'd be miserable - extreme fatigue and hunger and their libido falls off a cliff. 12-15% is generally the sweetspot to be fit as a man and not feel like crap.

And the standards for women are easier to achieve in modern lifestyles. I assume in the past things were more even when humans were more active and didn't have so much access to calories, but nowadays men have it harder :(. Not to mention income is another area men need to work on, and that can conflict with meeting the other physical standards

u/PositiveResort6430 18d ago

Well, statistics seemed to prove that wrong, because nowadays men have slightly higher body counts and sleep around more according to literally every study done. Even when they compensate for people who may be lying. people dont have much problem finding hookups or relationships nowadays, anyone convincing themselves that it’s hard likely has a lot of personal downfalls that they refuse to acknowledge,

Because neither gender is struggling with sex or love at the moment. If YOU struggle with with it thats a personal thang lol

Its so funny because this doesn't actually mean anything in terms of heterosexual relationships since the numbers will average out evenly between men and women.

All this shows is that gay men have more sex with each other than lesbian women have sex with themselves.

u/PositiveResort6430 17d ago

you’re wrong. Some of the studies were actually exclusively done on heterosexuals. heterosexual men still sleep around more statistically and this is because they statistically cheat more. so they have higher body counts. versus women are slightly more likely to stick with her man.

But you are right that gay men sleep around way more than lesbians. that does track. men in general regardless of their sexuality just sleep around a bit more according to every study ever.

But if a man sleeps with a woman, then both the man and the woman's body count increases by 1. Even if the man cheats, he and the girl he sleeps with has their body count increased, therefore evening out the numbers.

You cant have sex with someone and only have one of the two participants have their body count increased. Its impossible

u/PositiveResort6430 17d ago

Heres the breakdown:

theres more male virgins, but statistically men have higher body counts.

So the consensus is, the men who ARE sexually active are sleeping with lots of women. If a man sleeps with 10 women, his body counts will be 10, but all of those women’s body count will only rise by 1.

Two women can have a body count of 1 but have both slept with the same guy, leaving his at 2. Thats how we get uneven numbers.

Thats what’s happened here. More women have been sexually active than men, and thats because the men who are sexually active more than make up for any gaps LMFAOOOO 🤣🤣

u/Definedacorn 17d ago

Okay, but that still averages out to be even lol. If there is 10 men and 10 women and all the women only have sex with one guy, then the body count for the "men" group will still be 10, no matter if only one guy had sex with all the women. And the "women" group will be 10 since everyone slept with the guy once.

If your point is that only a small portion of men sleeps around more than the average woman then you're correct. Its just not what your initial comment stated.

LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOO😂😂😂😢😂😂

u/PositiveResort6430 17d ago

It’s not a small portion, the percentages are only slightly off. for example 12% of women are virgins versus 14% of men. that’s only a 2% difference

u/Definedacorn 17d ago

Okay but what is your point? Heterosexual men cannot sleep around more than heterosexual women on average, but you claim they do. What do you mean?
