Winter, cold, we all love a hot shower.
But how hot?
It turns out that women like their shower especially boiling and this is not just a joke that ran on social media about the steam that comes out of the shower while a woman is bathing, or a personal preference, but it is a scientific fact.
why is it happening?
There are 6 reasons for this.
Colder extremities
Women's major organs need a warmer temperature than men's, as a result women's feet and hands will be colder in winter and hot showers really "thaw" them.

metabolic rate
The metabolic rate in women is 23% lower than that of men, this means that the woman's body produces less heat.
Hot showers increase the rate of metabolism.
Fat to muscle ratio
Fat and muscle are two things that affect body heat production.
Most men have less fat and more muscle and most women have less muscle and more fat.
Hence the question arises: if women have more fat then why are they colder?
Fat can produce heat, but it is located under the skin, as a result, women feel cold.
A hot shower relaxes muscle fatigue, increases blood flow and releases fat, this process actually produces heat.

Size does matter
"Doesn't size matter?"
- Sometimes yes.
Most women are smaller than men.
A woman's body produces heat quickly, but it also loses it quickly.
A hot shower returns the heat to the body.
Monthly cycle
Women face temperature fluctuations during the menstrual cycle as a result of hormones and sometimes during menstruation a woman experiences various pains in the abdomen or back area.
Warm water relieves the pain.
Different perception
Our body temperature is the same, but the reaction of women and men to heat is different.
This is why men like their air conditioners freezing and their showers cool compared to women who are more tolerant of heat - but less so of cold.
