Metabolic rate don't vary all that much. 35 calories per day is about it.

By today's standards a 130 pound woman is pretty small. Certainly a 130 pound woman with low body fat will have a higher BMR that a 130pound woman with higher body fat but it won;t be much different.

They will achive fairly similar results if the train and eat identically. One may do slighly better.

I don't think it takes herculean workout to gain mass. If you do some heavy squats say 5 sets of 8 your pretty much finished for a few days.

20 minutes of upper body like rows, shoulder press and chess press is about all anyone needs to do to build mass. Long workouts are a myth. Arnold used to say he did massive workouts so that his competition would over train and lose mass.

Ofcourse genetics plays a greater role for men but that's why they make vitamin S.

It is not as hard as they make it sound. 90% of it is diet.

There are a few other factors like the person's health but overall it's pretty much equal.
