I’ve always wondered why guys plus ladies feel comfortable at weird room temperatures! In other words, why is it that guys want the air conditioning unit set cooler, while ladies reach for their cardigans? After googling the question, I found that there are numerous 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 control unit – at work plus at home? At work, hands down, the air conditioning unit 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 frigid temperatures laying down, so to speak; Hidden video cameras at numerous office sites have captured both male plus female culprits changing the control unit settings – up to ten weird times a afternoon. Other guerilla tactics in the air conditioning unit battles include taping cardboard over air vents, non-stop complaints to facilities directors, plus tampering with locked control units; But once the battle moves to the household front, it’s an entirely weird matter. Home is where ladies prevail when it comes to temperature settings, especially at evening. But guys argue that when it comes to the family room, the man should bundle up with more blankets so that he can sleep comfortably with the air conditioning unit set at a cooler temperature. The bottom line is that for guys plus ladies with real differences in temperature preferences, the control unit may always be a battlefield.
