Answer 1

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

Answer 2

women have a naturally higher body fat and therefore less lean musclu. lean muscle is what is responsible for maintaining your metabolism. if you increase you lean muscle mass through light weight lifting, you will increase your metabolism.

Answer 3

a man's body has more muscle mass that fat. Muscles burn more calories therefor increase the metabolism. women's have less muscles and more fatty tissues ( to provide a suitable environment for pregnancy and protecting the fetus).

Answer 4

More muscle you have, the more fat you burn and women are made up of a lot of fat. Like boobs and hips and butt....the list is neverending. Embrace!
