WHY do men have POT BELLY"S and women DON"T?

Question

i know women only have pot belly's when they are pregnant.

But is there a medical / or physical reason why they don't?

Answer 1

girls have other places to store it.

and some do have them.

and girls dont like it-most of them-so they make it go away.

Answer 2

Cause most of womens fat is stored around the hips and e=mens fat is stored in the stomach.

Answer 3

hahah the second guy is right;

that would be why you never see men with big butts!

women are reserved the asses :)

Answer 4

There are a lot of women with pot bellies, and also men.    

I don't have one, and never will, because I take care of my body, and won't allow it to happen to me.    I exercise and watch my weight.

Those with pot bellies don't exercise enough, and don't watch their diet.

My grandfather never had a pot belly, up to the age of 95, because he was sensible about diet and exercise.

Answer 5

Some women do, it depends of their body type.

If they're "apple shaped", they tend to store fat in their stomach and back.

If they're "pear shaped", they tend to store fat in the thighs and buttocks.

Answer 6

they do, you obviously havent realised!

Answer 7

Men tend to have a higher concentration of fat cells in the abdominal region. Women tend to carry more fat cells in their hips/butt/ upper legs.

Answer 8

It has to do with fat storage.  The body is a very smart machine that is a h**l of a lot smarter than you.  What it does when you don't exercise and eat too much is assuming that you are stockpiling nutrients in order for times where you have little access to food.  It can't tell the difference between pizza and vegetables, eating extra of anything will store.  It's not just punishing you for eating.  It has a plan in mind.  Every pound of fat stores 3500 calories of energy that you could potentially use if you were to run around the world.

So then, what it does, is that it decides where to store this fat.  If it stored on your feet, it would make walking impossible and shoes useless.  It designates fat to locations all around the body to keep you warm, comfortable, and still mobile.  Since the 4 appendages are useful, it starts in the core of the body.  For men, this is moreso than women.

In middle-aged women, the abdominal area is still functional as being pregnant, so it looks for other spots.  That's why women are always concerned about butts, thighs, and anything in that area.  That's, in a sense, where their potbelly ends up.

Regardless of your gender, age, ethnicity, or social class, having a potbelly is AWFUL for you.  It puts pressure on your organs, spine, reduces mobility, is aesthetically unattractive, and can make s*x difficult in some cases.

Answer 9

it's because men carry their fat on their upper body and women on their lower body.

it's much more unhealthy to carry weight on your upper half because it affects the organs.
