So uhm, I’m a male reporting in with my anecdata. I am just like your girlfriend.
Can’t tolerate extreme temperatures (especially cold), but have a fairly high tolerance for physical pain compared to what’s normal I think.
And I am INFAMOUS for needing sunglasses. Whenever I’m visiting my folks, they know it’s the thing I’ll complain about if I’ll be in the sun and my mom will usually have bought sunglasses just for me.
- spinach 8y agoSo your mom can anticipate you needing sunglasses and brings them for you, but you can't bring them for yourself?
- saagarjha 8y agoThat’s what moms are for ;)
- spinach 8y agoCatering to their child's need to be INFAMOUS for needing sunglasses because they can't be bothered to bring their own? I think his infamy problem would go away quite fast if he/she was able to bring their own sunglasses. :)
- anonytrary 8y agoThis seems like an unnecessary (and frankly, derailing) stab at OP. The point of his comment had nothing to do with infamy, why are we nitpicking this?

- jgibson 8y agoEye colour has a lot to do with how much light your retinas let in, iirc. Would this explain your sensitivity?
- stevekemp 8y agoI'm not sure of a relationship there, but I recall reading reports for a long time that red-heads felt less pain than other people - as a red-head this amuses me, but I have no personal data to share.

- alsetmusic 8y agoMy dentist told me that people with red hair are less susceptible to the effects of novicane. I have red in my beard and always need a second injection when getting drilled. She said this is the cause.
- auiya 8y agoI've heard this as well. I have blue eyes and extreme sensitivity to light, much moreso than my partner w/ brown eyes. I can't be outside without sunglasses for instance, and I've noticed polarized lens's are far more effective at reducing my pain point than normal tinted glasses. I also can't just flick on the lights in the morning when I wake up, I have to gradually introduce my eyes to light.
