I always heard that women had an extra layer of fat on them. But they are always complaining of the cold.

They aren't dressed appropriately.

Yeah, but fat doesn't produce BUT, er, BTUs just being there. I just read something about the human body averages about 400 BTUs at rest (hence the early adoption of air conditioning in movie theaters).

Perhaps offering a grog ration at midday to wake up the liver's heat production in dealing with a bit of alcohol?

I believe it’s tied to metabolisms and the fact that women’s metabolisms are slower on average. (But, disclaimer, I’m not a doctor and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn last night)

I used to work in a different area of the building I'm in now. It was more towards the center of this huge building.

The wimmens would regularly turn down the thermostat in the Summer because they were "freezing". The temperature was set to 72 degrees and they would turn it up to 80.

We menfolk finally put our foot down and demanded that;
A. Building Services lock the thermostat to 72 degrees and to block random access.
B. Any women who were "freezing" at 72, bring in appropriate outerwear to deal with it.

The funny thing is, in the Winter, when the heat was set to 74 degrees, they still complained that they were "freezing".
