A man will generally have more body fat than their female counterpart hence men will not feel the "cold" as easily. I'm not sure that having more body fat than women is a good indication of a higher metabolism.
There are also more healthcare opportunities for women compared to men so I suspect that also plays a part and then there is also the fact that women tend to live less stressful lives than men (choice of occupation) which is probably the biggest contributor to ones own life expectancy.
- overcast 8y agoThat is wrong. Women generally have a higher body fat percentage than men.

- CogPrime 8y agoAfter doing a bit research it does seem to be wrong however not entirely wrong. Body fat for women is also more concentrated in certain areas compared to men which would at least go towards explaining some of the reasons why women feel the cold more easily.
