He's the most perfect man ever...AccursedTheory said:Why are you dating him again?daftalchemist said:I'm going with women due to personal experience.

Calling out, again.RamirezDoEverything said:Women actually(I was surprised by this as well).
Women have to be able to bear the pain of childbirth, and can take pain a lot easier than men do.
Can you name any studies that actually establish this? Because I know that women have the edge for at least a few types of pain--for instance, women are able to tolerate higher temperatures for longer on their hands than men can (for some reason). And your claim that women have almost twice as many pain receptors as men is highly suspect. If you mean pain sensors in the body, that actually doesn't correspond to a lower pain tolerance (it just means they'd be able to feel it more precisely; able to tell it was two needles poking them instead of one, and things like that). And if you mean that their brain's have almost twice as many pain neurons, I've never heard any such thing, and I have a degree in biopsychology.AccursedTheory said:While I respect Myth Busters, real scientist already did the testing too.
And across the board, men have have both a higher tolerance for pain, and recognize pain later then, women.
Or you can handle extreme temperatures better...Jjkaybomb said:We did this experiment in fifth grade. We were studying the Titanic, and the teacher was trying to show us just how cold the Atlantic waters were. He brought in a bucket of ice water, said it was about twenty degrees warmer than what the Atlantic was when the Titanic sunk, and asked for volunteers to stick thier arms in the water. When the boys did, there was a lot of shouting and complaining about how damn cold it was. When the girls stuck thier arms in, myself included, we were pretty much quiet, bored even. The teacher joked about how stoic we were.
Either women have a higher pain threshold, or we've been conditioned to never ever complain. Which one do you think it is?
This. And it's precisely BECAUSE they're the ones who have to be the birth givers.Little Duck said:Women. Biological fact bro.
