Female Thermal Dissonance

[SueEllen]

Shouldn't one call an ambulance before suggesting something like that?

I didn't think minestrone's heart was that dodgy.


BTW those women's 5KM are a bloody joke half the field walks and gets in your way if you want to run round. Plus the distance is approximately 5KM

The body's temperature sensors are in and near the skin, therefore outside the body's insulating layer of fat, so the more fat, the colder one feels. Women feel colder because they have more fat. I'm sure if you explain that to her that she'll be quite understanding.

So all that fat on the breasts will make them cold and the nipples stick out? Have I been wasting my time with the ice cubes?

Yes, its called the fat rat syndrome. Though I thought it was something to do with more body weight requiring more energy to heat.

Women are generally colder than men due to our physiology.

What you need to do is get your wife to do more exercise especially out doors.

Next year convince her to run one of those womens' 5KM for charitee and then get her to run further after she has done that. (Just don't let her do a marathon because half of people lose the will to live after that.) Yes you and the kids will have to go out and support her if the races are on a weekend but your heating bills will be less next winter.

There are also other benefits for you.

She runs half marathons.

I think it is to do with her working in the public sector where every thermostat is on to full as nobody in the building is paying for it. That and the spoiled brat element which every woman has to some extent.

I also don't really bother if a room is cold, I can just think"oh its a bit colder than yesterday" and then don't think about it again. I'm not saying i would quite happily swim in the north sea but the difference between 16 and 21 degrees can just be ignored.
