The only real difference is just body types, one probably has a different center of gravity, more flexibility or strength in certain areas too. but other than that theres no real difference.

@kievana There's no question about it. I'm 6'4", and that has advantages, & disadvantages. That length can help me reach ledges after tic-tacs & wall climbs that may be unobtainable to shorter people, but that length adds "bad" weight too, and makes me less explosive & agile.

Men generally have the edge in strength, & women agility... plus, no balls to make you pay for a poor precision (don't ask me how I know this).

@trickblade I don't know, I think she's right, different body types tend to do things differently, and sometimes be better/worse, than other body types. Personally, I have wider shoulders than a typical woman, and my power tends to come from my upper back and shoulders.

@xtriggerXX But it's not just about flexibility. Grace, strength, power, fluidity among other things
