Forget that and forget runway modeling. They told a friend (former with benefits now actual friend) of mine, who is demonstrably a cute and hot girl she "could never be a runway model because her butt is too big." while her French friend has an imperceptibly-slightly smaller behind is acceptable. TBH, she has a perfect, bitchin bottom. What the actual? That industry's standards are beyond insane.
Let's suspend societal expectations, dispel myths, and look at different types of exercise.
Diet and exercise alone will never make any woman "look like a man." Only steroids or seriously-unlucky endocrine dysfunctions can do this. Not working out at all makes a woman subjectively appear less healthy, less defined, and less attractive, IMHO.
The stereotypical "flat-bottomed, upper-income, undefined physique" etiology is the result of excessive "more is better" cardio, yoga, and so forth is offset by a lack of significant and efficacious weightlifting recruiting type IIB muscle fibers, and converting IIB into IIA. All that running on the treadmill or elliptical doesn't lead to strength or muscle mass, it leads to endurance and joint degradation. IIA is tiny in volume compared to IIB. "More is better" is worse.
Short duration, high-intensity weightlifting until failure is the most efficacious activity to classify as exercise, with a limited amount of cardio to maintain practical endurance without converting too much muscle fiber. This applies to both adult men and women. If anyone wants to be healthiest with least cost, time, and net effort, this sort of approach is preferable. And tell the gymrats: Pain and time don't win merit badges, results do. Hopefully, they'll respond: "do you even lift, bro?" :]
That's my (100-80)/10 cents.
PS: Body by Science by Little & McGuff (2009) obliterates many gym tradition superstitions, factoids, and popular misconceptions with evidence, experience, and studies.
