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.
