I know you are joking (or maybe you're not and you're just that stupid) but I want to elaborate further because Estrogen and Testosterone have nothing to do with hair growth actually.
The hormone responsible for both hair growth and loss is Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). DHT is many times more potent than testosterone and is considered to be the active form of testosterone in some tissues. As its name suggests, DHT is synthesized from testosterone by adding two hydrogen atoms to reduce the carbon-carbon double bond into a single bond.
DHT is not a hormone that is released into the blood (although some amount of it leaks into the bloodstream), instead it is synthesized from testosterone on the spot wherever it is needed by the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase found in most tissues that respond to androgens.
DHT is responsible for both the growth of body hair, pubic hair, axillary hair, facial hair AND loss of scalp hair (male pattern baldness). The reason females have pubes and armpit hair is because the hair follicles in these areas are extra sensitive to DHT, so the small amount of testosterone that females have is converted to DHT at these sites and causes hair growth.
>Ideally, the perfect man should lack any body hair, while the perfect woman should have large amounts of it.
So your perfect man has Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (CAIS) while your perfect woman has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
