The body or genetic system has divided the job for female body to circulate the fat into more places than male : Hips, thighs and breast. therefore naturallty the body create a signal : we need more fat. Thsi way the hormone is created, than the brain commands the food to keep the natural amount of fat production is produced. meanwhile, the hormone in male morelikely create hair growth.

Girls carry more body fat than boys and that is because girls need extra fat for reproductive purposes.
On average, males have 10%-20% body fat while females have 20%-30% body fat.

Yes,it is true.Why? Because the female body needs more fats to function properly including child bearind and nursing.If the female body doesn't have sufficient body fats,its metabolic system may be severly affected.A male body doesn't need fats that much as required by a female body because of structural as well as functional differences.Instead, it needs more muscles to be able to perform its functions and activities that require strength.A female body is not "designed" to perform the activities that requires more muscular strength.

no it's not true. in fact, 10% of boys are fatter than girls here in HK. also it depends own each individual's hormones. your brother is just being silly! don't worry too much about your weight if it's less than the average. you can go see a doc if you want to find out.

We are not designed to get fat, lol.
But women do have slower metabolisms than men because men have more muscle plus our hormones change throughout the month when mens stay about the same all the time so they dont get pms, mood swings, cravings etc, plus we have to give birth to children.
Women have higher body fat percentage than men - its normal for women to have up to 25% of body fat and for men up to 20%.
We have to work much harder to get/stay in shape than men do.

Not fat like you imagine it. The average male has between 13 and 16 percent body fat, while a female averages 20% body fat.
Deal with it.

The thing about it is that girls get fatter easily and we loose the weight easily too. However although the guys do not get fat easily they can't loose the weight easily either.
I think it has sth to do with how elastic the gurls skin are.

the male body forms muscles easier than females, basically the male body favors storing energy in muscle while the female body favors storing energy in fat because females need more fat in their body in order to get through pregnancy

I don't think they really do. With boys, the fat goes to their stomach and for girls, the fat goes to their thighs and butts.
