Question about how fat is carried on males vs. females.
So I have a question about fat deposits on males and females. Several men in my family(obese with monster bellies) and my boyfriend (only slightly overweight), it seems like even though they have an obvious "belly"(more so on my relatives) the area is still very firm and smooth when touched, not soft. I've noticed more on women, however, that the area there is completely covered by the fat, even if it's less obvious than on the male. It's "squishy", has almost no form at all(just hangs where it hangs) and you can feel no muscle through it. For example, you really only see cellulite on women. Our fat really seems just underneath the surface, completely exposed.
I understand that male and female bodies are different and that women by nature have more fat on their bodies, but this seems like a huge, monster difference, even when comparing a slightly overweight female with an obese man. What are your thoughts?
