Well, based on core body temperatures, women are actually not colder than men (in fact their readings are about half a point higher), but when you're talking about the temperature of their extremities, yes, women are colder than men.

Now, the reason(s)...first of all, with a smaller heart and circulatory system, as well as a smaller overall body mass, their circulation may be poorer overall than that of a man's. Second, when faced with cold temperatures in the environment, most men tend to have more blood flow to the extremities and less to the torso (hence them not feeling the cold quite as much). Women, on the other hand, tend towards the polar opposite (ha-ha); they have more blood flow to the torso/core organs and less in the extremities, and since feeling cold/hot depends on the temperature/circulation in the hands/feet/limbs, they feel colder. No one exactly knows why this is, but one theory that has been purposed has to relate to females having to carry children; in order to keep the fetus warm inside the mother, blood flow must be concentrated on the vital organs, such as the heart and/or uterus, and less on the limbs. One more example of females being cheated on in the name of childbearing.

Rule of thumb...females were designed to be incubators, and males warriors.

Why does humidity make it feel colder?

Humidity makes it feel colder because high levels of moisture in the air can prevent sweat from evaporating off your skin efficiently. This slows down the body's natural cooling process, making you feel colder than you would in drier air.


Why do the men in the office always want the air conditioner turned on higher - so the office is colder - than do the women?

Women's blood vessels are closer to the surface of the skin than those of men, meaning that their temperature drops and rises more easily. In addition, men have more muscle mass, which keeps them warmer than women.
