Why are women always cold?

It's 80+ degrees out and the women in my office are bitching about it being too cold in here.

menopause

OP doesn’t know the difference between out and in.

R1 Menopause would make you hot, not cold.

What's truly stupid about the entire office-attire thing as it relates to this issue: Men tend to run warmer than women in general. But our office culture requires males to be covered up 100% except for faces and hands, while women show up to work in July and August wearing scoop tops and bare arms and bare legs up above the knees. Then the overdressed men who were already running warm complain it's too hot, and the underdressed women who were already running cold complain it's too cold.

So glad I work from home!

One of the best things about working from home is control of the thermostat.

It's the chill of the patriarchy.

Peripheral vascular stuff--they tend to have lower peripheral blood flow.

Women's clothing is generally thin and women often showing off more leg, chest, etc.

Do women with an extreme amount of blubber also get cold in normal temperatures?

I’m a man who is very uncomfortably cold in air conditioned homes & public buildings. It has to be very hot & humid for me to put on my AC.

I believe anemia is also quite prevalent in women due to their monthly bleedies, which further screws with circulation.

In caveman days, the women would eat the men if they added another log to the cave fire.

Women who have a used loose cooch are susceptible to drafts down there.

Lower calories in and/or calorie restriction; hormones; thin clothing and fabrics; clothes with less coverage over all as discussed; less body hair; not until menopause do you get the "running hot" thing. Depending on age, some women also are not as mobile or active and those women tend to stay cold too.

Hormones, particularly testosterone levels.

A dehumidifier can suck moisture out of air and make high temp settings seem quite cool. Talk to office manager, for Pete's sake. Plus, menopause symptoms are real.

Hypothyroidism also makes you cold all the time and that is becoming more and more common every year. So the chubs who are always freezing probably are for that reason. Underweight women will be cold all the time because of low body fat. And the rest can probably be blamed on anemia, which is also incredibly common with women.
