That's not a well explained reason why women have more fat on them (but can pull it off). Women genetically store more fat to prepare them for childbirth. It's the same reasonwhy women have large a large pelvis (hip).
Since women have larger hips, they tend to have a larger ass to go with it, and with larger hips, you can have more belly fat before your skin starts to stretch.

If you want a gtood explanation on bf%

Lol, it's where my picture is sourced from. Good read, it's nice to read that 10-12% is a good sustainable level for men. I'm always worried that I'm too skinny because I look like the guy at 12% in that diagram (mind you, small difference in muscle distribution), and now I can feel good about myself.
Fuck, those lower abs are so hard to define, maybe I'm more then 12% because my abs are bigger, but I only have 4 distinct abs, and 2 kinda visible. Going to exercise with my gf more after I show her this, I think I might want to loose 1 or 2%, but she just needs some abs.

Would you look at that

WTH? You go from Average to Obese, without any step in overweight?
WTH? I'm an Athlete? LOL, I dunno about that. Well if I am, it makes sense that I want my girl in the upper athletic limit (like myself).

I kinda disagree with that chart there, it says for 25% "This is on the low end of what’s average for most women and is characterized by a shape that is neither too slim, nor overweight. Curves in the hips are usually more apparent along with more fat in the buttocks and thighs. A 5’4” women who weighs 130lb and has 97lb of lean body mass has 25% body fat." My girlfriend and Mom are 5'4" and they both agree that 11lb for their height is the upper limit of ideal. They are 100 and 110lb respectively, they admit they are skinnier then normal.
