jerryc41 Loc: Catskill Mts of NY
 
I once went to a nighttime lecture about bats while I was in NH. The lecturer said that male and female bats often stay in different locations because females like to be where it's warmer. I immediately thought of my wife (and you can take than any way you want. )

You've probably noticed that women generally like a house or car to be warmer than men do.

Yes. I'd be sweating in a T-shirt, and my wife would be asking me why it was so cold in the house.

One of the jokes is the passenger/driver controls in the car that allow for two different temperatures.

So, are you saying that your wife is a bat? LOL

If your name isn't "naked" then you might want to find out who that guy is.

Jerry, while it might be said that in general women feel colder than men, that generality only applies to non-menopausal women. Once those hormones go crazy their thermostats also go nuts, and they can go from being an ice cube to a steam engine in a span of minutes. I know I had ice cold feet crawling up my back and minutes later I felt like I was in a sauna; I could literally sense the steam from her body minutes before she threw the covers off. Yes, women are different from men in many ways, but that's also why we love them.

The differences in thermal response between men and women are related more to the differences in subcutaneous fat thickness than to skin properties per se. The extra thickness of fat in women allows the skin to drop to a lower surface temperature (i.e., body heat does not conduct outward as well) and the temperature sensors of the skin read a lower temperature, hence a greater sensation of cold.

All I can say is; I'm the one with the coat on when everyone else is in their shirt sleeves.
I guess it haqs to do with hormones.

It's true Jerry. Here in Phoenix my wife needs a sweater when it's 68°.
