The biggest factor in the different perceptions of temperature between men and women is that women are, in fact, just warmer to begin with. A study done by the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1992 looked at core body temperatures of both men and women. Their results found that though both men and women had core temperatures that varied throughout the day, women’s core temps were, on average, slightly higher than men. It stands to reason, then, that since women are a bit warmer to start with, cool temperatures will feel even cooler to females than to males… More here.
I always wondered if there was a physical reason for this. For example, Jo is normally 37.3 degrees and I average just over 36. This can cause a few ‘discussions’ regarding how hot the house is etc.

We are just the opposite – I’m cold and Jen is hot.
Oh ok. Interesting, the majority of people I know tend to be woman cold, man hot.
It was the opposite before she went through the change. Then we also got first dogs who were always hot and we turned down the thermostat a few degrees.
I shall look forward to us swapping then
You mean dogs of course 🙂
Um, I hope he meant he and Jo swapping hot for cold. 😉
I did!😁
I knew that!
I know! I was just having fun with you, my friend! It was funny!
We always double check when we are dealing with Canadians!:)
Eh????
I am joking now!
I know. I had a good laugh.
The “eh” is a standard Canadian comeback. It can mean just about anything. It’s almost like putting a period at the end of a sentence.

We use eh for pardon?
We use it everywhere. This article has some examples, but there are many more. Comedians have a field day with eh.
