If estrogen causes big butts, then why are there guys with big butts and girls with small ones?

I see this reasoning a lot and it doesn't make sense to me, estrogen is what causes girls to have bigger butts on average, but girls universally have higher estrogen than guys. However, there are quite a few girls with small butts and guys with big butts.

It differs by race also, Asian girls have very flat asses, while black boys have bubble butts. But I'm sure Asian women have more estrogen, so what gives?

  • estrogen does not cause women to have bog butts. women store fat for babies and they store it in different places. men store fat too just not as much -depending on if they are a healthy weight or not.

    some people are very heavy with no butt. some are thin with big butts.

    people put too much emphasis on estrogen and testosterone bc they happen to be chemicals we know a little bit about. this means our knowledge is limited. it does not mean they are responsible for everything that goes on physiologically.

  • Biology isn't math, you can't add estrogen to a human and expect it to grow a Kardashian ass. A lot of factors influence on a person's butt size, not only estrogen. It is true that it is the main sexual hormones for girls and causes their puberty, but it's not the only factor or every girl in the world would have the same/very similar bodies. .

  • Some men have more estrogen than other and some women have less estrogen.

  • Men also have estrogen, and women also have testosterone. It depends on the genetics of the individual, more so than place of origin.

    There are many theories as to body types of any given "race". For Asians on an evolutionary basis, it's because being bigger framed/taller never was an advantage.

  • Who said they're a result of estrogen? I have an incredible amount of testosterone and a big ass because I work out a lot. Are you referencing that estrogen can lead to the building of fatty deposits? There's more than one reason for a fat ass lol

  • Don't forget that butts are also a muscle so the guys that like to lift and don't skip leg day can grow their glutes.

  • Due to hormonal imbalance.

  • Ur ass is mostly fat and muscle tissue... estrogen has nothing to do with it

  • Butt Scientology is not 100% accurate or guaranteed. Many different factors contribute to the size, shape, level of jiggle, color and amount of cushioning a particular butt can achieve in its lifetime.

  • Estrogen causes a widening of the hips and special storage of body fat, which in turn can create bigger more round butts. It is not absolute and big butts on women is more of a "good side-effect" than anything.

  • it's junetics

  • genetics maybe

  • Fat and lack of exercise causes guys to have less testosterone... and by ratio, more estrogen than normal.
