5 Unusual Facts About Females That Are Totally True
You hear the cliches or the stereotypes, but some unusual facts about women are actually
true and there are scientific reasons behind them.
From a woman’s incredible multi-tasking capabilities to her heightened sense of smell,
there are several unusual facts that are uniquely female and only pertain to women.
For example, did you know that heels were actually worn by men first?
They were considered a type of riding footwear, a symbol of status that made men look taller.
Women of the 1600s started wearing heels to show their equality and “masculinise their
outfits.”
One study published in the Archives of Sexual Behaviors suggests that hip width has a significant
correlation with a female’s sexual behavior, the strongest association being between greater
hip width and more frequent one-night stands.

Well, believe it or not, there are all sorts of more unusual facts about women that most
people don’t know.

Now, here are 5 facts about women that have been backed up by studies.
Keep in mind some facts can vary from female to female and not all of them apply to all
women; every human is unique!
1.
The heart: The female heart is actually very different from a male’s heart.
For example, did you know that the female heart beats slightly faster to make up for
the fact that it’s smaller?
An average adult female heart beats 78-82 times a minute while an average male’s heart
only beats 70-72 times a minute, says consultant cardiologist Miles Behan.
There are many other ways in which female hearts are different than men's hearts.
Did you know that the arteries in a woman's heart are smaller than the arteries in men's
hearts?
Women's arteries have openings which are on average, 1.5 mm, while the openings in men’s
arteries are 2.5 mm.
Men and women also experience different and varying types of heart failure.
Women are more likely to experience diastolic dysfunction.
This occurs when a woman's heart becomes stiff and cannot relax in between beats.
On the other hand, men are more likely to experience systolic dysfunction, which occurs
when their heart becomes weak and begins to have trouble pumping blood.
Women also experience different heart attack symptoms than men do.
Instead of experiencing chest pains during a heart attack, when a woman has a heart attack
she is more likely to experience shoulder pain, indigestion, and nausea.
2.
The Brain: Studies show that although men’s total brain size is larger than women’s
brains, a woman’s hippo­campus, a small organ associated to learning and memorization,
is larger than a man’s and works differently.
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine also conducted a study
which suggests that women are more talkative due to the presence of higher levels of “language
protein”, FOXP2, in the brain.
Believe it or not, women on average speak 13,000 more words per day than men do!
Other studies conducted by psychologists from Universities around the world state that women
are more adept at switching between tasks and are better at real-life multitasking than
men.
They are able to complete multiple tasks at once, which means that they are generally
more productive.
In addition to this, it is stated that two of the highest IQ scores ever recorded belong
to women, and women actually earn over 60% of college degrees in all of the United States.
What do you think about some of these surprising facts so far?

3.
Strength and Health: Although men are generally stronger than females because of their body
structure and composition, women do have some body parts which are stronger than their male
counterparts!
Dr. Katherine Whitcome of Harvard University says women have a stronger and more flexible
lower back than men thanks to evolution, as mothers need to stay mobile during pregnancy.
Women are also known to have stronger immune systems than men.
Did you know that women on average live longer than men?
Professor Katsuiku Hirokawa of the Tokyo Medical and Dental University says this is partly
due to their immune systems aging more slowly.
4.
Pregnancy: There are all sorts of interesting facts about pregnancy and women.
For example, according to The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, pregnant
women are more likely to develop Pica, an eating disorder where one has intense cravings
for non-food items, such as dirt or chalk.
Another study which analyzed 3,500 mothers and their babies in Finland, Denmark, and
Norway, found that shorter women have shorter pregnancies.
Yet another interesting and disturbing fact about pregnancy states that every 90 seconds,
a woman in the world dies during childbirth or pregnancy.
You may also be surprised to find out that the closer a woman lives to the equator, the
more likely that woman is to give birth to a baby girl if she is pregnant!
Studies also state that women who snore during their pregnancies are more likely to have
smaller babies.
5.
Emotions and Senses: The German Society of Ophthalmology concluded women, on average,
cry for 6 minutes while men cry for 2 to 4 minutes.
They also concluded that in 65% of cases for women, crying will turn into sobbing versus
6% of cases for men.
Women also have a better-developed sense of smell, and certain biological evidence may
explain why: it is believed that a woman’s superior smell is cognitive or emotional rather
than perceptual.
There are many things about both men and women that are both surprising and outright shocking.
These are just a few of some of the unusual facts about women that may surprise you.
The male and female body are both very different, and although there are many similarities between
men and women, there are also many differences which set them apart.
From differences in strength to differences in emotion and the way the heart functions,
there are many things that scientists are still finding out about the female body that
sets it entirely apart from male bodies.
Despite the obvious differences such as pregnancy and menstruation, there are many different
ways that female bodies function, and the same can be said for men!
At the end of the day, as human beings we are all equal.
Each and every single person in this world is unique, and that’s what makes the world
such an amazing place.
Despite all our differences, we are all human beings just living in this world and trying
to live our best lives.
