Home is where ladies prevail when it comes to temperature settings, especially at night
I’ve always wondered why guys and ladies feel comfortable at bizarre room temperatures; In other words, why is it that guys want the cooling system set cooler, while ladies reach for their cardigans? After googling the question, I found that there are many explanations. One is that ladies have a lower metabolic rate than men. Our metabolic rate is responsible for, among other things, body heat production. Also, guys generally have greater muscle mass than ladies, which is also responsible for body heat production. So who gets to control the thermostat – at labor and at home? At work, hands down, the cooling system settings are controlled by men. It turns out that engineers who design office space use building code standards that take the metabolic rates of guys into account. That’s not to say that female employees take the freezing temperatures sitting down, so to speak, and hidden video cameras at many office sites have captured both male and female culprits changing the thermostat settings – up to ten bizarre times a afternoon. Other guerilla tactics in the cooling system battles include taping cardboard over air vents, non-stop complaints to facilities supervisors, and tampering with locked thermostats; But once the battle moves to the dwelling front, it’s an absolutely bizarre matter. Home is where ladies prevail when it comes to temperature settings, especially at night. But guys argue that when it comes to the home office, the person should bundle up with more blankets so that he can sleep comfortably with the cooling system set at a cooler temperature. The bottom line is that for guys and ladies with real differences in temperature preferences, the thermostat may always be a battlefield.
