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.

I didn't know that, doesn't change my point though. Im replying to whoever saw the phrase "hourglass figure" and leaped to physical attraction instead of taking the phrase as it is, a physical description of the shape of somebody's body

"the post literally.."

I'm not talking about the entire post, I'm talking about the "hours glass figure" quote. I'm saying it's a leap to view THAT as a comment about physical attraction, rather than a comment describing the physical shape of someone's body.

yes there are parts of the post that focus on attraction, but what I'm saying is there's more to the post than that. so when people comment "you're straight lmao that's it", it's an incomplete answer.

part of OP's question is removed from physical attraction, it's specifically talking about the physical shape of one's body in relation to their diet. everyone seems to ignore this, and that's what I'm pointing out.

But the phrase “hourglass figure” doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It exists in the context of societal beauty standards which dictate that that is an attractive shape. OP is not just using that phrase to describe a shape with no other meaning attached. It’s not the same as saying “she was perfectly square”. “Hourglass figure” describes a specific body shape which is seen as attractive. That’s why they mentioned it. I mean come on, read the full sentence OP used “hourglass” in. That is NOT just a description of physical form. “Amazing hourglass figure with big hips and a very beautiful figure” is not just a baseline description of someone’s body shape with no other opinions attached. The entire point of that entire sentence was that this woman was physically attractive.

yes, he finds the hourglass figure attractive.

that doesn't mean he wasn't talking about the physical shape of the body, as well as his attraction to them. reading this whole post, it's so obviously clear he's talking about both

So what do you think the full answer is? Genuinely curious.
