Women sweat differently than men

[colby]

Well, I am a small woman who sweats buckets. I mean, buckets. I have a hard time regulating my temperature in cold weather riding; I often end up feeling too hot, because I am afraid of feeling too cold! But, I am getting better. It just means that a few pieces of cycling wear that I bought years ago are really too heavy for me to wear as a mid layer. I'll end up wearing them x country skiing at really low temps, though.

Thanks, Crankin, you just lent credence to the "(most) small women who don't sweat are probably wimps" theory, since you're certainly not a wimp

(I should add that of course there are going to be small fit women who don't sweat buckets because not everyone is built the same, and I'm just kidding.)

I mentioned it, because I think there is some credence to the stereotype. I noticed this when I taught at a gym. There were certain women who looked fit, in shape, and were often quite thin. Yet, when they came to my class, they never sweat, and often never had the endurance to make it through my class. This was during the time I was very thin, from just too much exercise, so I really noticed it. I still sweat buckets then, and I always wondered how these women managed to look like they never lifted a finger when working out.
I used to have "names" for all the types I would see when I taught and this was definitely one of the types.
