It depends in what pose the body is in. When you see olympic high jumpers going over the bar their centre of gravity is outside of their body.

The center of gravity for men is generally lower in the body compared to women. In men, the center of gravity is typically located around the lower abdomen or pelvic area, while in women, it is slightly higher around the hips or lower back. This difference is due to variations in body composition, such as muscle mass and fat distribution.

Center of gravity in man and woman?
A women's body structure is such that they have a lower center of gravity, because of their wider hips and heavier bond structure in the lower abdominal part of the skeleton, as compared to men's structure. Men in general have wider shoulders as compared to women. This lower center of gravity is the main cause for women to be able to bend forward in the kneeling position without falling over forward. When men try to bend over, they will fall forward because of the location of their center of gravity. Then this center of gravity passes beyond the knees, their bodies will topple forward.
Why are men and women's centers of gravity different?
Men have bigger bones and women have wider pelvises.
Do girls balance better than boys?
No. Girls and boys tend to have equal balance before puberty. However, after puberty, women tend to have better balance than men due to average differences in center of gravity. Men generally have a higher center of gravity, which provides for a worse natural balance.
What is the center of gravity of a person?
The center of gravity of a person is exactly the same as it is for any other mass object: It's the unique point where the weighted relative position of the distributed mass sums to zero. Another way to understand it is: the point where the total mass appears to be concentrated when observing the effects of external mechanical forces acting on the object. A person's center of gravity is located roughly behind his belly button, in the center of the circle formed by his belt. On the average, it's a bit higher than that for men, and a bit lower than that for women.
Is it possible to place a chair against a wall that a man cannot pick up?
no it is not possible for a man to pick up a chair if his head is up against against the wall. A mans upper body is usually more dense with bone and muscle mass than a women; thus raising a mans center of gravity towards his shoulders. A women usually has wider hips and leg muscles to center her gravity mid point rather than upper. When a man bends over he displaces his center of gravity 90 degrees out. When a women bends over it remains at the center of her waist. Thus keeping her center of gravity.

Is it impossible that the location of the center of gravity is in a point where there is no mass?
The center of gravity is an average of the location of the points of gravity. If you had a flying ring like a Frisbee but without the center, the center of the gravity would be in the hole.

Is center of gravity lies where there is no mass?
That all depends on the shape of the object and how its mass is distributed. The center of gravity of a solid sphere is at the center of the solid sphere. The center of gravity of a solid cube is at the center of the solid cube. The Earth's center of gravity is at the center of the Earth, and there's certainly plenty of mass there. But the center of gravity of a ring is at the center of the ring ... an open space where the finger goes.
