does gender affect pulse rate?

no it doesn't. if your heart rate is fast went you're not exercising then you are out of shape. heart rate is all about how physically fit you are. not gender.

In theory?\n\n1.) Women are more socially allowed to express their emotions. The withholding of emotional reactions creates stress on the body.\n\n2.) Men tend to eat differently than women, especially during their single years. Their diets are higher in red meat and junk food, which strains the heart, kidneys, liver, etc.\n\n3.) Statistically, men are less likely to get an annual physical than women. This means that, frequently, potential health problems are not caught before they become genuine issues.\n\n4.) In the past, men tended to have the more physically exertive and dangerous jobs. This exposed them to hazards that either killed them instantly or accumulated over time to create health problems in later life. This isn't necessarily true today, but as recently as 3-4 generations ago, it was.

I don't see how a man is as you describe: psychologically..women can think just as fast as men and we use more of the brain both right and left hemispheres than do men. However...If you mean physiological, like body strength? Men do have the potential for more muscle mass than women, simply because that's the design of the male body, however there are female body builders and women can be strong and fast also!

Men give off more heat than women especially if they are more muscular and burn more calories via thermogenesis.  Most men I know in fact complain of the converse-- that sometimes their female companion's skin will feel cold.  My wife and i just snuggle up more, to average out the difference!  Have fun.

Contrary to what some say, your small heart and your regular-sized heart act the same way.  (cue the rim shot)\n\nWomen tend to present with more atypical symptoms than men.  Almost always is a sense of shortness of breath.  Other symptoms may be a profound sense of fatigue, chest tightness, jaw and/or neck discomfort, shoulder, arm, mid scapular discomfort.  Many people will say that they are not feeling true "pain."  There may also be pallor, a cold sweat, nausea and/or vomiting, and a sense of "impending doom."\n\nAnother consideration is your risk factors.  Early family history for heart disease (heart attacks, open hearts, heart caths only - not arrhythmias or valve problems), high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, and smoking are the big five.  If you are a woman and under 40 then you would need to have nearly all of the risk factors to actually have heart disease/heart attack.  If you are at menopause or later in life a couple of factors would be enough to be concerned.  I hope this helps.

Yeah, increases heart rate, pulse, blood pressure. Not a reason to start, though.

I think that is because all the studies in the past such as heart disease were done on men only,  So, they may be trying to get data now on how medicine effects woman.  There really should always be three studies going on at all times, one for men, one for woman and one for children.

I would say yes, due to natural caregiver instincts and being more hormonally influenced.  Women are bleeding heart save-the-worldly and as such would be more veganinated than men I would guess.

Yes, loud, noisy music will raise my pulse rate, while slow music will, most definately, lower it. At times, I have to shut off the noisy stuff to relax.

For you or your partner? And is your partner male or female?  Men and women have different physiology.

some men do and some dont. some men do manual labor like shoveling dirt gravel etc. men were meant to do menial tasks and women were not.however some women do have faster metabolic rates than many men. its really all in the genes not in the sex

Women blink nearly twice as much as men.\nFALSE. Blink rates are affected by emotional state, age, eye health and tasks, but the blink rate for men and women is about the same.\nSOURCE: Cornell University

Not as much of a reaction. Sex appeal isn't as physical for females as it is for males. I become very self-conscious and a little nervous, my heart starts beating faster, and my voice gets a little shaky. I've only met maybe five or six people in my entire life who were so attractive that I had any sort of sexual reaction when I first met them.

Firstly: More females smoke than males do. (to the previous answerer)\n\nBecause the pressures on men in our society are a lot higher than on women. More pressure = more stress = more likelihood of contracting a stress-related disease, like Cancer, Heart-disease, MS, and so on...\n\nWomen are protected, traditionally, and don't experience the same pressures or stress.\n\nAnd, while contracting a disease doesn't necessarily imply death, it does in many cases for men, because there is a lot more assistance and support for women who contract a disease. Like... most countries have funded programs for breast-cancer screening. Almost no countries have funded programs for prostate-cancer screening, despite the fact that more men die from prostate-cancer each year than women do from breast-cancer.\n\nThe short answer is... it is because of the way our society works - men are disposable, and their mortality rates are necessarily going to be higher.

I personally don't believe it has anything to do with gender... but more to do with personality.\nPeople who are extroverted are less intuitive than people who are introverted.

Males tend to be stronger and faster.\n\nI hate people that disagree with this statement and feel it's a put down to women.  It's not, it's genetics, it happens, why is it so hard to grasp?

I do not think the question of better applies.  Consider the matter this way: The human mind in general has been deemed as equivalent organ between the sexes; with respect to its general psychological functions.  However, when incorporating real-world data one can see that maps over-the-span-of-human-time have basically been of the males' world.  Like hunters during the hunting and gathering times, travelers to places afar, explorers charting new lands, and the like, therefore, safe to say males as a group still do yet read more maps than do females.  I've no doubt there exists a female such as she can equally well read and interpret a specific map as can the best male.
