Why is it that women tend to feel the cold more than women?!


Question: just an observation (im sure there are exceptions) but women appear to feel the cold more than men.

i know men who wear tshirt and shorts in the winter while women are wrapped up in warm clothes.

Also at work, women always want the heating on while blokes want the air con on.

Any ideas why this is?

Men's bodies, on the whole, metabolize and maintain homeostasis (internal furnace in the winter, internal AC in the summer) better than women's do. It's something we needed during the caveman days, when we were out hunting and gathering. BTW, don't complain about mother nature and double standards. Remember we're the ones who have to manage and control that internal monster called our sex drive. I'll take your metabolism any day over that.

huh?

huh?

In general, men have higher metabolism because they have higher muscle mass. This produces more heat for their body. There's probably a small degree of just guys wanting to act tough as well.

I dont know why women are colder than women? Anyone else wonder?

the guys just want to act tough. Jk. im not sure, actually.

They have thinner skin then men. They just feel the temperate change more readily.

you mean "men" right?

i think its something to do with metabolism.

Because women hate women.

They have more meat on them?

women feel the cold more than women???
honey, that just doesn't make a damned bit of sense..

say what?

Well personally I think women are more irrational than women.

Many women have lower iron, which can lead to anemia or thinner blood. Low iron makes you cold. Also, most men have more mass than women.

I think that women feel more cold than men because they have more body hair to keep the warm. Their skin is also thicker.

a macho thing i suppose!

were buff.

i beleive women feel the cold as much as women do..

lol. no.

I have no clue, but your right, women do tend to get cold alot more often, i dont think it has anything to do with blood pressure.. hm good one.

why would wemon be colder than wemon?

men have thick skin and are have a more tougher resistance,
most of the men do feel cold but just wont admit in front of any women to flaunt their manliness:)

Because men have a high percentage of muscle and it tends to help them stay warm. Also it is partially mind over matter. Men don't just sit and think wow i am freezing so they tend not to worry about it as much.

Cause guys work.
and girls just sit around.

(I'm not getting any tonight am I?)

because men typically have more muscle mass than women, which is constantly letting off heat and also insulating. Also, guys want to look macho and that they are tough, even if it means freezing to death

men have faster metabolism but women tend to hold on to fat more so thats why men have more muscles naturally,

probably for the same reason your more succeptable to alcohol then men are: for the extra layer of body fat you have. im not trying to be insulting, im giving an honest biological reason.

Menopause, plus the fact that they are *******. Considering the higher body fat you'd think they'd be hotter. It could have something to do with the skin being softer.

well not to be sexiest but at the factory i worked in the ladies got chairs and airconditioning and the men stood up and broke a sweat running machins

i cant help u. im anemic so im always colder than everyone else.

I reckon they just do it so that women will think there so manly and strong

Lol. Not in my case.
I'm almost always the cold one.

I'm most comfortable around 77 degrees, that's what our house is on all the time so anything lower than that and I'm cold.

Like my friends house was 65 and I was shivering a little and I had on a jacket and long pj pants. lol.

because women are so sizzlingly hot, your existence keeps us warm all the time
