I think it has to do with men having less fluctuations in weight more then anything as rapid expansion of the skin is what causes it (hence women who have been pregnant getting it). Women also have more body fat then men. That's not to say men don't get them, I think its just less noticable (I walk a lot,(don't own a car) and I ended up putting on muscle in my upper legs fast enough where I have stretch marks (faint) on my upper inner thigh.) So I think its just how fast you are able to put on weight and unfortunately fat and babies tend to do that more then muscle does which means women are more prone to get it then men.

Women undergo more frequent and more extreme physical changes to their bodies than men do. Women also have more fat. Every woman I know is worried about the stretch marks on their boobs and thighs, but the truth is that men know that a big part of having boobs and children is that your body literally changes shape to accommodate them.
Its natural, girls hit puberty earlier than guys, they have more hormonal changes every month due to periods or when they get pregnant. They have softer less resilient skin then guys. Its so common that its hardly ever seen as a bad thing, trust me guys dont care.
Strech marks happen when your skin can't keep up with growth, so the cell division isn't harmonious. Men that weight train tend to have strech marks too, its nothing to be paranoid about.
Girls usually get it on their bums and thighs and guys usually get it near their arms and chest.. as they broaden. VERY normal.
1. Based on where we store our fats ; hips , thighs, belly (pregnancy) and butt. Men have different physical structures from us and most of the time any ways they store it as muscle.
2. When we gain A LOT of weight and then lose just as much. Its like the effect you get when you air a balloon up , its there for some time at that particular size and then when it airs down , you see the marks.
Thats all I got for now.
We have more bodily change through puberty and often pregnancy when older
Women's bodies expand and soften while men's bodies firm up...

Majority of guys don't genetically store larger % of fat in the leg and breast region. Smaller area gaining size quickly can cause stretch marks because the skin cannot heal and expand fast enough. Guys are usually more prone to storing a larger % of fat in the abdomen and lower back region and it takes super fast increase in size to cause stretch marks there.
Because generally speaking, women grow more curves; hips, breasts, thighs. Pregnancy. Weight loss and gain; getting them on arms, back, legs. Men get them too, but I think the way women grow means it's easier for us to get them. Sometimes they seem to just appear too, without much reason.
It's not always the case, I have it on my back and some on my butt too. I usually joke that I was whipped, lol
It happens to girls who go through puberty faster than most girls. A lot of my female friends developed breasts faster, and grew taller quicker than most girls, and they always complained about stretch marks. Curvy girls tend to complain about stretch marks, probably because of larger bones. Boys don't get stretch marks unless they workout a lot younger, since you gain the most mass during puberty. I got stretch marks under my shoulders due to my back and shoulders getting so big.
It’s actually the way the skin is connected to the muscle. It’s also why girls get cellulite and guys don’t.
Possibly, It's only because we NOTICE (or try to notice) them on girls because we LOOK for them... But who knows? Maybe MEN have more, but nobody ever notices because nobody looks! (And women carry babies, so stretch marks are normal in that sense, I'm so proud of all the baby carriers out there!)
Period and hormone. It also explains why women suffer from acne more than men.
It is biology: Women's connective tissue is 'weaker' than men's.
That is a very good question that I do not have the answer to. I want to know why too.
Because womans lost weight and get weight everytime
Women usually have weaker connective tissue, allowing for things like cellulite and stretch marks. It sucks, but that's how genetics worked out...
Girls and boys can get stretch marks because of a period of rapid growth during puberty. I think girls may get more strecth marks, maybe because their skin elasticity is weaker than men's (these are only guesses).
Bigger tits and bigger butts, I don't know the exact reason but don't worry about it
I have stretch marks on my back and buttIt usually seems so but part of it can be due to pregnancy that women go through.
Females have thinner skin than males. Also, females tend to fluctuate weight more than males.
I have stretch marks on my inner thighs. I have no idea why.
I think because of girls period tho like in the period we eat a lot and when it ends not so much
i got them too on legs cuz they growed too fast and on back a lot
Probably because men don't get pregnant and store fat because of it.
Cause when girls have that baby they stretch out 😂😂 of course guys don’t have it
