Who Handles Pain Better?

This study suggests that guys freak out more about it.

When it comes to pain tolerance. who’s the toughest among the sexes?  That depends on how you view the findings.  In a recent study, men report their pain levels to be about 20 percent lower than the women.   The study also suggests that the guys freak out more about it.   When they feel it coming on, they have greater activity in the part of the brain that experiences fear which could make their reactions seem worse.  Women, on the other hand, start coping before feeling.  The planning part of women’s brains shows more activity, suggesting women approach the pain in order to manage it.
