Why Are Men So Much Hotter Than Women

Black Diamond

When it comes to internal tempature. I mean I sweat my brains out in rooms where my wife wears sweaters. We are constantly fighting over the tempature in the bedroom. We are always changing the temp in the car and my wife uses the heated seats even in the summers.

Sooner or later she'll go through menopause and start getting hot flashes.

i am always hot.
although my hands and feet can be like ice cubes at times.
my husband has quite the internal heater, but i think he gets chilly before me. overall tho, most relationships i observe what you say seems to hold true for many.

NOt me, I am hot natured. I have been all my life. I have to have a fan on my face at night. All the people in my family are hot natured. The air is on 68 all the time. I hate being hot, I wish I was cold natured. I'm forever fanning myself and wearing cool clothes in the winter while everyone is complaining how freakin cold they are. Must be nice...

I don't know, my fiance is hot then cold then hot. She's like a little human heater sometimes. If she lays next to me when we sleep I wake up sweating because she like an oven.

Not all are, although I suppose a greater percentage are. I've always been warmer than most people and even moved to a cooler climate when I was able. I feel for you. Whenever I go somewhere I have to think about what I'm wearing. People who come to our house know to dress warmly.

I'm the same. I like the window open at all times (even in the winter)... my bf likes it closed... so I'VE compromised by just keepin it open during the day... but I have to throw the duvet off me and still wake up boiling but he's quite happy having the duvet doubled on him cos he's freezing

I'm either one extreme of the other - too hot or too cold. I'm never just comfortable :(

That's the other thing. I have learned to sleep without anything but the top sheet. She steals the rest of the covers.

my husband says i do this, but i really don't do so b/c i want to be warm, i just like the feeling of being 'covered' for whatever reason. however, we just bought a new comforter, it is exactly the same manufacturer, style and weight of our previous comforter...and yet it is bigger...which is a good thing for the cover tug-of-war...but it is sooo much hotter! i am sure in the winter we will love it, but right now...ack! we still have the central a/c going when we are home!

Yeah, I've noticed this. Guys always seem to be so much warmer! :eek:

i thought it was horrible to make generalizations like that. not ALL men and women are like this goddamnit!

my hands and feet are always icy. dont know what it is. but every girl i ever dated was way warmer. used to joke with my ex about how she had good body heat... sleeping next to her was like having an electric blanket.

urbanhippie

It must be a male thing. My littlest son (4 yrs) got into bed with me the other night. It was like sleeping next to the radiator :eek: Every time I tried to inch away from him, he kept sneaking in next to me for a cuddle, and he was so cute I didn't have the heart to put him back in his own bed
I got about 4 hours sleep that night.

beachdweller

forget the sleep number bed, we need sleep number electric blankets, that allow you to choose the temp you like on your side of the bed

obviously using language like 'most'...'many'...and most importantly 'that *I* observe'...makes it clear that it is NOT all, at all.


and right now i am sitting at my desk, with my fan on.

I am always freezing! I'm shivering right now and I have a thick sweater on. My hands and feet are always like ice cubes. I hate a/c. I can't wait for the hot flashes to begin!

my wife is always more cold than me.. but i do insist she wears no clothes in the house from the hours of 8pm-12am.

It's no coincidence the penis is shaped like a thermometer and reacts accordingly to temperature...

My guess is more muscle mass.

Funny I have the same rule but it is 8am-12pm. Keeps my pool cleaning bill down.

semantics. i say the same sorts of things, just minus the pc-language to ensure that nobody's delicate sensibilities are harmed. you're more polite, i'm more blunt. but we say the same things. not that that ever stops you from giving me shit for it.

angie76

I know a lot of women who are alway hot...there is always a power struggle in my office over the thermostat. I'm always freezing.

That is hard to compromise, but we do it for them don't we? I always wish that I were cold natured so I can wear a sweater to work and not have to worry about the heater being on 90! lol

since i apparently can't PM you....?



sorry, i don't see it as hypocricy at all...for the reasons i stated. i don't consider it 'wishy-washy' the way i present it, i believe it to be truthful...as oposed to saying ALL of who/whatever do....whatever. so no, no hypocrisy. and the only thing i 'call out' is when anyone presents opinion as fact, or presents vast generalizations as if they apply to all. those are my pet peeves. so i just find it odd at best, that you see some hypocrisy there.....i clearly don't, i see a big difference. and yes, that difference comes down to semantics, but semantics in written discussion especially, play a large role in effective communication imo. disagree....that's all cool too. i just find it weird what you said, b/c it just dosn't fit. obviously, as ever...we see it very differently, even still.

i PUT the qualifying words in, and that makes ALL the difference to me. you call it PC, i call it being far more accurate. tomayto....tomahto.





so it's not just you...i give just about everyone shit for such things. it's one of my many 'issues.'


back on topic: i am still hot.
soooooooo looking forward to the cooler temps!

yeh true! Hahaha and by the time I used to get to work (after walking for about an hour) I was well warmed up so immediately I'd open the window in MY office (didn't have to share with anyone) and the lads just couldn't understand this at all and kept trying to close it . I don't need the window open at night cos I'm not TOO bad with the duvet off... although I don't like the idea of not having fresh air all night it always kinda made me feel like I was sleeping outside and I liked that

thats me! you can ask anyone thats ever driven with me, roomed with me, or even hung out with me. I ALWAYS have to have a window open or the air on in a hotel room AND the fan!!!! I can NEVER wear coats or sweaters to my neck. its disgusting. people that drive with the heater on and keep their windows closed are FREAKS!!!!!

no, I am hot all of the time. in the winter, I have to clean with shorts on and a sleeveless shirt or I am just too uncomfortable. And I also have to shower two to three times a day.

but I know what you mean; a lot of people, people who are even a lot larger than me complain they are always cold.
