Space heaters are fantastic! My partner and I have very different ideas of comfortable, and they make liberal use of blankets and space heaters. That’s waaaay better than turning the entire house into an oven! Plus I still make use of the space heaters, too – making the bathroom toasty so you’re not freezing when you step out of the shower is the best.
Women are biologically more susceptible to getting cold than men are (or conversely, men are more susceptible to getting hot than women are). Also most people in America need more cardio; it’s not a gender thing.
Boris Kingma from Maastricht University Medical Center decided to take a closer look. He found that women have significantly lower metabolic rates than men and need their offices 3°C (5.4F) warmer.
That’s a huge discrepancy! Obviously not something you can chalk up to individual factors like exercise rates or medical disorders.
You’ll be hot as fuck in your home, and then a woman will just turn the AC off and complain about how cold she is
Sir I use my space heater in my home in July, and I live in the US South.
I’m shocked my husband has not divorced me over it yet tbh, but he can pry it from my (literally) cold, dead hands.
He’s probably waiting for it to catch fire and end his misery. The most passive aggressive murder-suicide of all time.
Tip over protection ftw!
In all seriousness, I do point it away from him explicitly because he swears he can feel it across the room.
Double blind test?

It’s more likely that it’s from poor blood circulation than actually being cold. Commonly, because they need more cardio.

Didn’t say only women get cold from no cardio. Obviously, there are other factors like mild Raynaud’s syndrome
You’re still making this out like it’s an individual problem and not a genuine (and major) gender difference.
From a BBC article on office temperature wars:
That’s a huge discrepancy! Obviously not something you can chalk up to individual factors like exercise rates or medical disorders.
