I’ve found very few people (almost zero girls) that have thick enough skin to hang with my friends and I. I don’t care about physical strength of the individual. If they’re mentally weak and they have emotional stability teenage girl at a Bieber concert - I’m talking guys and girls - I just don’t want to deal with them.
No wonder the older I get, the more I enjoy my alone time. I don’t have to worry about people taking offense to my comments, so I just talk to myself.

I’ve been treating people for over twenty years. The difference between pain tolerance between the sexes on average isn’t even close. And it’s not the women who can tolerate more. There are many injuries people suffer that at painful . Like the fella who I treated for a knee strain / sprain possible acl tear. Fifteen minutes later he was walking pain free. It was a long fifteen minutes for him. Also didn’t need his crutches.
His MRI showed a complete rupture of his acl and pcl. He could take the pain due to his above average muscle mass. Pain is like money. Five dollars is five dollars. But the difference with many types is do you have extra in reserve to deal with it. This is for musculoskeletal pain. This is where the test and muscle mass helps.
The next is how often have you dealt with pain. If you have a little experience you often deal better with all pain. Think training . Men tend to knock themselves around more than women.
There are wimpy low pain tolerance guys out there of course. But even what most gals call painful in day to day stuff would be considered not as bad by many men.

You have a point about the training. Consistently lifting or trying to lift weight that your body has no need to ever really lift, year after year, does give you a lot more tolerance for pain, because in some form, it’s usually present on a daily basis. A lot of people are scared of pain, and for that reason whatever the injury or condition might be, the fear makes it much worse.
Let me ask you though (I am assuming you are maybe an osteopath/chiro from your post) do you tend to lighten up on women when they come for therapy? The first few visits I had to my osteo I think he was scared to hurt me. I had to tell him to put his weight into it more than once. We are good now, for the 75$, he better break a sweat.

If men gave birth, they would be women. Men can’t take the pain of childbirth any more than women can take the pain of male ejaculation, spermatogenesis, erection or scrotal movements according to temperature. It’s what women are literally born to do. The comparison must be denied.
A woman’s body takes several months to prepare for this natural event.

The pain of male ejaculation? Dude, you are doing something seriously wrong.
