Why are women so pale compared to men?


Skin tone wise

Not a doctor but it's my understanding female menstruation leads to some blood loss which in turn leads to some loss of iron. I'm guessing the male culture favors red meat more with fewer vegetarians.

Periods account for less than 16 teaspoons and on averge about 6-8 teaspoons of blood so i highly doubt that.

Also it is not blood from your veins, it is the womb lining breaking down.

A lot of men do the hardest manual labor jobs that women can’t do are out in the sun compared to women in cushy office jobs.

I haven't noticed women have skin "more pale" than men, but assuming it's true, it's probably because women have elaborate face cleaning rituals, where men generally slap some lathered LAVA hand soap on their face. Men who look tore up like Billy Bob Thornton still get laid. Faye Dunaway doesn't.

Where I live women are more tanned.

Where do you live?

Beach side town. Women love to have a tan.

Women are much more likely to use sunblock than men. I use sunblock at least on my face, neck and hands every day.
