I looked it up even more, and learned this:

The male outer skin is 15-20% thicker than female outer skin. In case of physical cold cinditon meeting the body barrier, bloodciruclation in the skin'S upper layer gets reduced, which is easier to accompli8sh in thin skin than in thicker skin. Woemn'S skin thus becomes up to three degrees colder than a male'S skin int he same situation. So not only produces the femal ebody less inner wamrth, but the sensoric perception of cold is not just imgaination, but bases on a physical reality - in the skin's sensor feedback.

Add this to the overestimation of isolation effects of suvcutaneous fat. The problem with that argument was that most of women'S higher share of fat is concentrated not in subcutaneous fat layers, but in certain body "hotspots", usually those areas that males admire so much. I read that today, the minor isolation gains of subcutaneous fat gets neutralised even more due to Western beauty ideals that prefers a slim figure.

So: women produce less warmth, feel cool outside temperates more intense because their skin in fact IS colder, and the subcutaneous fat layers do not compensate for these negative warmth effect.

Finally, blood pressure. The average blood pressure in the female body is lower than in the male body.
