Why do women get cold more easier then men?

[Neatheyc]

Is there a scientific reason why women get cold quicker or easier then men? Does this actually happen or is it just me?

I think cellulite is quick to lose heat, and slow to warm up....someone toldme thata hwiel back. it kidn fo makes sense to me, my bum and thighs get cold quickest and warm up really slowly. Men don't have the cellulite problem we do, so maybe that's why they feel cold less. Men are also blessed with more body hair, which again would insulate against cold, keep them warmer.

Aha, now that makes sense! Cheers Jills and there I was thinking I had better get on the treadmill to lose some more weight!

Technically women should feel the cold less than men as they have an extra layer of subcutaneous fat (similar to blubber in seals), that should insulate them but I'm sure that doesn't apply in this case!

LOL....at least you said seals, not whales...thanks for that!!!
