Which sounds ok?(Please ignore the contents.. Sorry for generalizing🥲)

1. There are friends of mine who had been living in the US, whom all said the people there generally like women whose hips are rather big.

2. There are friends of mine who lived in the US, they all said the people there generally like the women whose hip is rather big.

If you understood, how would you say this(informally talking)? Thank you

The second one is better but you would say it like this: There are friends of mine who lived in the US, they all said the people there generally like women whose hips are bigger.

@StrayKidsStayOT8 Thanks so much!🙏 May I ask more questions?

#1. when would you say "had been living" instead of "lived"?!

#2. what do you think about this?=>Apparently, people in the US typically love big hips, according to what I've been told by my friends who lived there once.
