So, lately I've noticed that there is a large amount of body types for women, than there are for men. I mean, I know about the hourglass, apple, pear etc shapes, but do you notice people's belly shapes? Like there are huge bloated bellies that look like a beach ball, there are double bellies, bellies with a roll etc.. and most of the men I've seen have just beach ball belly, which is pretty cool, but I'm also wondering why is it the only common type?

You might not have noticed because you are straight, but as a life long lover of fat men, there's a lot more belly options than beach ball belly. And there's a lot of body diversity in fat men's bodies. In fact, every body type you seen in women also exist in men - even an hour glass shape.
It is interesting that where you live, most men have big ball bellies. Where I live, fat men tend to have flabby bellies with no clear shape. Might be a lifestyle thing.

Really now? That's so cool! Good to know honestly.. to me it's interesting what causes a certain body shape.. is it genetics? Or is it based on what and how you eat?
Munchies:
Genetics, hormones, and lifestyle choices.

Cool!! And do you think once you have a certain body shape, can it change afterwards?
To a degree. If you have a ball belly (visceral fat) you can make it softer by exercising as the body burns visceral fat before anything else. Cortisol (stress hormone) and testosterone can influence where fat shows up on your body. And some people's body shape changes as they get fatter or lose weight.
But it tends not to be a drastic change. Genetics plays a huge roll in where you gain fat, and you can't override genetics.
