Stand-up comedy today would be nothing if comedians didn’t make observations about the differences between men and women. And it’s likely that people have been making different conclusions about the differences between men and women since men and women first existed. Nowadays, we can rely not only on casual observation, but also look at science and statistics to understand how different we really are.
10. Men sweat more and earlier than women.
Let's say you have a man and a woman who are training together. They are both in shape, they are both putting in the same amount of effort, they are both doing the same amount of work, and they are both working hard. Who do you think is going to sweat more?
As it turns out, men do sweat more than women, and research backs this up. In fact, men start sweating earlier than women, and generally sweat at about twice as much Women have to apply much more effort to start sweating.
In one study, men lost twice as much moisture from their foreheads, backs, cheeks, forearms, and thighs during exercise. And while this may seem like a boon for women, it actually indicates that men’s bodies tend to work more efficiently, staying cool while they work. This is partly due to testosterone levels, which are thought to promote sweat production.
9. Men are twice as likely to gamble as women.
Anyone can get caught up in the thrill of gambling or games of skill, especially when money is at stake. It’s hard to deny the thrill of gambling and winning. But people tend to fail far more often than they succeed. So who’s most likely to get caught up in this dynamic?
Men tend to be more likely to gamble than women. The study found that men are twice as likely to gamble as women. And among both genders who gamble, 20,1% men may qualify as "problem players", while only 7.8% female players meet the criteria.
Another study found that it doesn't take much to convince a man to make a risky financial decision. In fact, if fortune teller gives a person luck, as a result of which this person is more likely to make a risky gamble.
8. Men tend to say I love you before women do.
Have you ever seen a movie or TV show, usually a comedy, where the male character stumbles while trying to tell a woman he loves her? And he legitimately can't form a word? This comes from some sort of belief that men have a hard time admitting their feelings, but research shows that the opposite is true. In fact, men tend to confess their love on average six weeks earlier , than women.
This doesn't necessarily mean that men are more sensitive and loving than we first thought. Another study found that men seem to prefer to hear from a woman that a woman loves them before they consummate their relationship sexually than after. So it is possible that men rush to say I love you in the hope that a woman will reciprocate the feeling, and so sex may happen sooner and in a way that the man finds acceptable.
7. Men are 88.7% more likely to win a Darwin Award
The Darwin Awards are one of the Internet's historical relics, dating back to 1993. The idea behind the awards is to honor, in a way, people who have improved the human genome by "accidentally removing themselves from it." In other words, people who died in what was considered a stupid accident. It's a morbidly funny concept, and one that has been around for a long time.
Some may be surprised to learn, and others may be less surprised to learn, that Darwin Award winners are overwhelmingly male. In fact, men make up 88.7% of all Darwin Award winners . This goes far beyond the stupid internet awards and is explained by the so-called "male idiocy theory". Please don't be offended, someone else gave it that name.
Based on mortality data and hospital emergency department information, men are much more likely to be injured in accidents or sports. They also have more serious car accidents, and all of this adds up to some clear evidence that men take more stupid risks than women, regardless of culture and socioeconomic factors.
The researchers actually studied Darwin Award data for more than 20 years , to legitimately prove that men are more likely to do stupid things than women. Selection and reporting bias likely influences the numbers to some extent, but this huge difference of 88.7% is more than moderately significant.
6. Women are much more likely to lead a vegan lifestyle
Women are more likely to go vegan, and that's a fact. At least one study found that only 24% vegans — men. Another study increased this number. up to 37% , which is still clearly very small. There's a good chance that this is partly due to the way we traditionally view meat. Meat is male. It doesn't necessarily make sense, it's just how it's always been presented to us. Men grill meat and eat steaks, hamburgers, and so on. Women are often portrayed as more svelte, eating salads, and so on. Maybe these are all stereotypes and not based on any real facts, but the numbers don't lie.
Psychologists have noticed that men are often afraid of being seen as doing something unmanly. And they will even emphasize their apparent masculinity after completing a task they consider feminine. In the face of a complete lifestyle overhaul, such as going vegan, this is a stumbling block for masculine men. This includes health or moral reasons.
5. Men and women often lie for different reasons.
Here's a tough one for you. Who do you think is generally more honest and trustworthy, men or women? The answer... is also not that simple. Everyone can be a liar, but the reasons why men and women lie can be surprising.
Research has shown that men are more likely to lie for their own benefit, while women are more likely to lie for someone else's benefit. A man is more likely to lie to look better He may lie about his height to appear taller, about how strong he is to appear tough, how much money he makes to appear richer. In contrast, women lie about the same things, but for opposite reasons. They will lie about their age to appear younger, about their weight to appear thinner, and about their sexual partners to appear less experienced. So men lie to enhance, and women lie to minimize.
Some studies show that women are more likely to lie, twice as often as men, in fact. But the lies they tell must be be nice . This means to spare someone's feelings or to make them feel better. They will also lie to help someone up, such as if they need somehow protect someone another, while men, as a rule, do not take risks for another person in this way.
4. Men are much more likely to get skin cancer than women.
There is a common stereotype that men are a little more stubborn about their own health than women. They will take less care of themselves, and the evidence seems to back this up, especially in terms of skin cancer rates. By the time they reach age 80, men in three times more often get skin cancer than women. In white men, over 55 years old Melanoma is diagnosed more often in America than any other group.
A big part of this discrepancy is that women in general take much more care of their skin than men. This includes makeup and moisturizers with SPF. Only 14% men apply sunscreen when going outside. Many men are also unaware of the dangers of the sun. Only 56% of men surveyed knew there was no such thing as a healthy tan, compared to 76% of women.
Part of the problem here is that the sunscreen is marketed specifically to women. The use of imagery and language is very clearly aimed at women, and this goes back to what we already know about veganism. Men don’t want to be seen as less masculine, and will avoid things that are considered feminine, even if it literally kills them.
3. Men are much more likely to be struck by lightning than women.
There's a good chance you'll never worry about getting struck by lightning, because why would you? The CDC says you have less than one chance per million get hit in any given year. However, your chances increase if you're a man. In fact, you're four times more likely to get hit than women.
Between 2006 and 2016, 352 people were killed by lightning strikes. Of these, 79% victims were male. The reason why males are more common victims can be explained by considering what most victims are doing. About 90% of male victims were fishing or playing sports, meaning they were outside and likely holding something that essentially acted as a lightning rod. The lesson here is that if a storm is coming, throw down your rod or clubs for your own safety.
2. Men fart much more often than women.
No doubt one of the questions that has plagued you for years is who farts more, men or women? Well, science has the answers, so you can rest easy. You may have long believed that men are the more gassy sex, and you were right. Men actually exercise almost twice as much as women. This has been studied real scientists .
When 60 men and 60 women were tasked with tracking gas production, with men averaging 12.7 farts per day. Women scored only 7.1. One man pulled off a whopping 53 in a day. The leading woman passed away at 32.
Obviously diet will have the biggest impact on this and it's not consistent from day to day, but the general conclusion still holds. Men are just a little more flighty than women.
1. Far more men than women do not wash their hands after using the toilet.
Of all the differences between men and women, few will make you feel as uncomfortable as this one. We look at bathroom habits, and what we see is not good. Whole 15% men do not wash their hands after using the toilet. Of the remaining 85% who wash their hands, only 50% use soap.
On the other hand, 7% of women are not likely to clean up after using the toilet, while 78% of those who do will use soap. Even more disturbing is that only 5% of all participants washed their hands long enough to kill the types of germs that can make you sick. This is based on the results of 3,749 participants.
It may have been just one study that had some interesting results. What does the CDC say? According to them, 69% men do not wash their hands after using a public toilet compared to 35% women.
Both of these studies are out of date at this point, the first from 2013 and the second from 2009. Perhaps as people's habits with Covid have changed, but by now you can assume that any hands you shake aren't as clean as they could be.
