Men are more likely to get hurt, but women accept and handle pain better than a man. I had a doctor say to me & my husband "Women don't feel pain like a man".

hi.. thanks for your response.. maybe its because women are more expose to pain like menstrual pains.. pregnancy.. women undergo some laboratory test, injections, pre natal,and the most pain women experience is delivering of a baby.. giving birth .. so women are capable of tolerating pain cos its part of their lives..

I really think that is part of it. When i had the joints in my hands replaced, i had one guy tell me i was so lucky it wasn't carpal tunnel. I told my doctor i was so glad it wasn't and he blew. Told him who had said it and he shook his head and said "men".

well i think this is possible. some people especially women may have high tolerance of pain. sometimes, i even think that women are always bound to even hurt themselves and dwell on pain more than men... its like they are so used to pain and the level of it just elevates!!

its because woman tend to experience almost all the pain in life, emotionally and physically specially in giving birth, thats why if we feel pain its easy for us to recover than those men who never experience pain at all thats why if they feel it they thought its already the end of this world.
