TikTok's 'resident surgeon' explained in a video why some women may actually, in fact, be colder than men.
A surgeon is giving a possible explanation on TikTok to a topic that partnered men and women are sure to be familiar with.
"Women have a fractionally higher core body temperature than men, and it seems like it might keep some women warmer, but alas, if someone is used to being warm, somewhere cold can feel even colder," Rajan reasoned for the different preferences in water temperature. The doctor noted that ovulation might be the time when the cold sensitivity is at its peak due to high estrogen levels and said, on average, women have a lower metabolic rate than men, which means women produce less heat. Previous research on how men and women respond to temperature differences supports Rajan’s explanation., researchers at Tel Aviv University's School of Zoology cited evolution as the reason women feel colder more often than men.
More than 500 college students were asked to take three different tests — math, verbal and cognitive reflection — while the room was set to temperatures between 61 and 91 degrees Fahrenheit at various times. Although the test scores seem relatively normal as a group, researchers found that there were differences between the male and female students when it came to answering questions.
