Why do women feel colder than men?

The thermostat battles are mostly related to the office but what about the temperature wars at home?

Here's the scenario. You come home from work and the house is way to warm. You just got out of an office that was too warm so your definitely not going to put up with that shit at home. You turn the AC on and sit back while you hear that satisfying hum of the AC unit. The air starts to get a bit more crisp and comfortable with every passing minute.

Then, your better half shows up from work. She feels instantly cold and heads straight for the thermostat. You can hear her footsteps get closer and closer to the temp controller and that satisfying hum is suddenly killed. She then goes about her business like nothing ever happened.

Perhaps you can tell I speak from experience...

We all know how these end up. Someone is uncomfortable, but is the temperature preference related to our sex? That is exactly what this article is about. It turns out that women naturally feel colder than a man even if both are in the same room.

There are other factors of course but sex is the biggest distinction. Read this article and find out why women feel colder than men.
