13 Unusual Facts About Females That Are Totally True

Many of those books on how to understand women neglect the biological and social reality of humanity's better hand. For instance, why do they live 2–10 years longer on average than men around the world? Come learn about little unbelievable stuff about women that turned out to be real.

Here are some fascinating and divisive statistics about women. The one has surprised you the most?

13. Women see more colors.

 

Have you ever gotten into an argument with a female acquaintance over whether her white curtains were eggshell or cream? That's because women notice 20 percent more variations in color and form than men.

12. The female body has a lower resistance to alcohol.

Alcohol is also more risky for women, who are more susceptible to liver disease such as hepatitis (liver inflammation) and are more likely to die from liver cirrhosis (a chronic disease). Women are often more likely to suffer from alcohol-related brain injury, such as loss of mental functions and diminishing brain size.

11. Maturity is attractive.

Not only because of the Oedipus complex, either. According to numerous reports, the more pregnant a woman is, the more desirable she is, so women who have given birth, developed into a very feminine body, or do not use birth control are much more appealing to men. Men can also detect it in a woman's odor and voice pitch.

10. The average woman will eat 4 lb of lipstick in her lifetime.

When you pair the total amount of lipsticks purchased over the course of a lifetime with their average wearability, it comes down to people licking off or eating about 4 pounds of lipstick in their lifetime. This averages out to 533.76 lipsticks. Of course, this number could be far too high (or far too low) for certain women, which is why it is an average — it differs by country and culture.

9. They hate taking risks.

You may have noticed that women take less risks than men, and there is a scientific explanation for this. Women have a greater anterior cingulate cortex than men, which is the portion of the brain that considers options when making a decision. Some contend that this was evolution's way of making women better caregivers and saving the "tribe" when it came to food gathering and social structure.

8. They might make their men fat.

 

Surprisingly, many men in long-term relationships are growing in size, which may be due to their wives' efforts. They enter a "taking care" mode, which causes them to overfeed their partner (with the intention of having a strong "warrior" by their side). There's also the unspoken goal of making a guy less desirable to other people.

7. Style over comfort

 

This fascination has a social explanation rather than a logical one. For decades, culture and the media have driven women to hold themselves to a certain ideal, whether it's small feet or a perky behind, and as a result, the majority of women choose trendy appearance over comfort.

6. A heightened sense of smell

As previously stated, heightened sense of smell aided our forefathers in surviving and, since women were mostly gatherers, aided them in selecting the best foods for the family. So maybe some flowers to cater to the heightened sense?

5. The brain cells are packed more densely in the female brain.

The female brain is 9% smaller on average than the male equivalent. However, since the cell count is the same and they are just packed tightly, this has no effect on cognitive ability.

4. They are the unsung heroes of inventions.

In 1903, Mary Anderson invented the windshield wiper. Disposable diapers, paper bags, non reflective glass, the foot-pedal trash can, the dishwasher, and many other inventions have been patented by women over the years.

3. Heels were for men.

Heels were introduced into women's fashion in the 1600s to imitate the men who wore heels as a symbol of masculinity and prestige.

2. Reading faces

Women have always been excellent at reading faces, gestures, and voice tones than men, making them superior conversationalists and social leaders. Even in a group of people, an alpha-type female will most likely lead all social interactions rather than an alpha male.

1. Long live women!

The disparity in life expectancy between men and women may be as much as a decade, but it is usually at least 2–3 years all over the world. This isn't just the case with human females. Female chimps and orangutans outlive their male counterparts as well.
