Study after study on GLP1s (Ozempic, Wegovy, etc.) show a consistent data point everyone is overlooking, the vast majority of users are women. Why? Women are actually less likely to be obese than men so statistically if these drugs were being prescribed responsibly then men should be more likely to take them.

My anecdote is that most women I know, none of whom are obese, are offered these drugs proactively by doctors purely for vanity. This is not healthy (both literally and spiritually) for society.
