catbirdseat Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Speaking of cold, should I get my scrotum pierced? I suppose the answer would depend on what you propose to pierce it with. Are you considering an icicle? Quote

layton Posted February 17, 2004 Author Posted February 17, 2004 I didn't know that Matchbox cars had studded tires? Quote

Bohanon Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Ba-dum-bump-ching! the sound of you puckerin' for your girlfriend Robert Quote
Blake Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 That was a one-two punch with sound effects to boot. Quote

JayB Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 My guess is that men stay warmer because a greater percentage of their body mass is lean muscle, and all of the mitochondria cranking through the TCA cycle within the said muscle equals more calories burned per unit mass which in turn leads to a higher metabolism and greater warmth. I'd also be willing to bet that men have a lower surface-to-volume ratio than women in the torso, which leads to greater heat loss. Â I'd also say that social conditioning plays a role as well, as from about the age of 7 any guy that complains to other guys about being cold will have a staggering quantity of shit flipped his way by any male within earshot while most young girls that complained about being cold would get sympathy and an extra insulating layer from anyone in earshot. Â I think an experiment in which bodybuilder chicks that have attained large amounts of lean muscle and a plenitude of secondary male sexual characteristics from massive roid abuse and pasty endormorphic computer techs with modified mullets and jiggly manboobs are subjected to the same amount of cold, and both the persistence and the tone of the whining that issue forth from both groups are monitored and quantified would settle the muscle-vs-metabolism-vs-sex question once and for all.

marylou Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 Hm, I have plenty of cold-weather gear, and I don't have the social conditioning to get real wimpy about cold, and I get cold. I also have my fair share of fat. Â Got to be something about circulation or babies. Â If you don't like how women are in the backcountry, I suggest dating men. Quote
RobBob Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 If you like women who are big in the backcountry, I suggest dating me. Â No thanks! Quote
Lars Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 If you like women who are big in the backcountry, I suggest dating me. Â No thanks! Â Quote
Greg_W Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 if you are both cold, and sweating, you might be in shock. YOURE GONNA DIE SUCKA! but if you are really hot and sweating - you're either already dead and in hell ... or still alive and in heaven. Â Or you're getting some good, hard lovin'!!! Quote
