I was sitting with a friend yesterday and we were discussing the weather.
In the northeast, it has been getting extremely nice during the day -- in the low 60s. At night, however, it has been getting below freezing.
Muh wife and I finally turned off the heat a week or so ago and we have fought the urge to put it back on -- especially after seeing the monthly bills.
My friend was surprised that his female friend didn't demand that the heat be turned back on in his home as well. As muh wife is, his wife gets very cold with even the slightest bit of chill in the air.
I have noticed this about lots of women in my life. It is a constant battle in our office. Even when the thermostat is set for 72, the women in the office are complaining about how cold they are. They get annoyed when the men fight with them because we are literally sweating our heads off.
The battle of the thermostat is constant and it is a battle of the sexes.
As egalitarian as I am, this IS a male versus female issue. Women simply get colder then men. It doesn't take much to send a woman screaming upstairs to grab sweat pants or a sweat shirt. It doesn't take too much of an adjustment on the thermostat at work for a woman to grab a sweater and claim she is freezing.
It doesn't take much at all... women are simply more "responsive" to colder weather then men.
Now... it is my theory/contention that women are this way for a very good reason. THEY ARE COLD HEARTED.
The reason that people get cold is that blood doesn't flow properly to the various parts of their body. Why do fingers and toes get cold first? In the path of blood, they are the farthest away from the heart. Blood doesn't reach them and the body then reacts.
If we follow this VERY basic line of reasoning, you can make the argument that the heart of a woman isn't as strong as a man's because they are always cold and is unable to pump blood that far. A man doesn't get as cold as quickly because his heart is stronger. His blood flow is good because of a tremendously stronger heart.
Women, on the other hand, are weak hearted and are incapable of warmth.
THEREFORE, women are cold hearted people and men are truly the people that we should be trusting with loving and taking care of our children. Women are just too cold hearted...
God... I love taking things to their logical extremes.

This theory might be good for explaining other things. For example, it could explain why women drive so poorly, i.e., lack of blood flow ---> less oxygen to the brain ----> less awareness ----> crashing into immobile object!
Boy, talk about extrapolating ideas with no basis in fact. Well if you must know, women are colder than men for scientific reasons – According to Cecil at The Straight Dope:
Women have a higher ratio of surface to volume then men and thus shed heat faster.
Men have more heat - generating muscle mass.
Women get colder durning menstruation due to loss of blood and hormonal changes.
So Ptthhhbbbbtttt
Sounds like women have a lot in common with puppies.
Interesting.
