Hereâs an illustration of the aforementioned difference in fat storage.
Menâs lattice pattern collagen threads holds subcutaneous fat in a way that, when the skin expands because of the fat storage, it expands evenly. Womenâs âpocketsâ expand unevenly when we accumulate fat, creating that orange peel effect. Our storage pattern means we can healthily store more fat than men. Like a woman with 25% body fat is average, a man with 25% body fat is chubby. Because of that, like OP said, women are hardier in times of stress or famine. Itâs also one of the reasons why our bodies can survive pregnancy, which is a massive energy demand on our system.
And thereâs absolutely NO âtreatmentâ for cellulite that will work. They are all bullshit designed to separate you from your hard-earned cash. Itâs a secondary sex characteristic, itâs perfectly normal and itâs not going away no matter what you do. Like Iâm very lean myself and I work out 5~6 times a week, and I still have cellulite. Someone giving a woman shit for having cellulite is akin to giving her shit for having skin. Itâs just a mixture of misogyny and corporate greed.
Love your lumpy skin, ladies. It means you are a badass surviving machine shaped by millenia of evolution.
