    It’s more likely that it’s from poor blood circulation than actually being cold. Commonly, because they need more cardio.

      Women are biologically more susceptible to getting cold than men are (or conversely, men are more susceptible to getting hot than women are). Also most people in America need more cardio; it’s not a gender thing.

        Didn’t say only women get cold from no cardio. Obviously, there are other factors like mild Raynaud’s syndrome

          You’re still making this out like it’s an individual problem and not a genuine (and major) gender difference.

          From a BBC article on office temperature wars:

          Boris Kingma from Maastricht University Medical Center decided to take a closer look. He found that women have significantly lower metabolic rates than men and need their offices 3°C (5.4F) warmer.

          That’s a huge discrepancy! Obviously not something you can chalk up to individual factors like exercise rates or medical disorders.
