Women show weight gain way more than men do in my experience.
I would imagine that has a lot to do with height. Women are usually much shorter. I know I can more easily hide a 10 lb weight gain than a woman that is only 5 foot 2.
Also....women tend to show weight gain in their upper arms and arse/legs on top of your usual belly area. Both areas that are more difficult to hide with clothing. Guys seem to mainly just gain weight in their belly and they can easily hide it.

Right, but again, that's kinda what I'm saying. You said you were super skinny. All that means is that you'd have to have that much less fat than someone with a little more lean mass on them. Being "skinny" doesn't make you automatically more lean AS A PERCENTAGE of body mass. In fact, in a way it makes it that much harder.

Bingo. But damn if it's not hard to get that belly fat off.
I lost weight everywhere but it took me forever to start seeing it get off my stomach. Even when I ran every day it still didn't show any considerable loss until I started eating fruit

Yea because he was probably carrying no muscle mass at all either.

Yep. Getting the tight midsection unless you were genetically blessed is all about a lean diet.

OK?
Less overall lean mass means you need less overall non lean mass to achieve the same bf%.
I mean I know this isn't groundbreaking stuff here but it seems a lot of people overlook body fat as a %, even when directly discussing bf %.

Like inflating a surgical glove - that's the best analogy. Women gain weight more systematically, generally. Their hormonal and reproductive systems encourage this as well. Men tend to gain weight around the middle because around the organs is the easiest place to deposit fat on our bodies.
Probably another reason why we die younger, all other things being equal.

I swam a lot, so I may have had more muscle than I give myself credit for - swimming tends to develop longer, but less pronounced skeletal muscles, although most swimmers today also lift weights to balance that out. In any event, maybe Dr. Turner was wrong, but we did the measurements as part of a Exercise Kinesiology course.

You aren't 10.2. 10.2 is a goal, not an unhappy state with belly fat...
