Our senses are just different, like everything else about the sexes.
Women do hear better at higher frequencies : “Women of all ages have better hearing than men at frequencies above 2000Hz.” Men, on the other hand, hear sounds 2.3 times quieter than women on average.
Women have a keener sense of smell.
Women are more likely to have a keener sense of taste: “Taste is related to the number of tastebuds on the tongue: the more tastebuds, the stronger the ability to taste. Bartoshuk classified the American population into “supertasters”, “medium tasters” and “non-tasters”. Supertasters live in a “neon world” of flavours; non-tasters in a “pastel world”.
“Women are more likely to be supertasters – that is, they respond more to components such as bitterness and tannin in wine,” says Stephen Charters, professor of Champagne management at Reims Management School in France.”
Women also have a keener sense of touch, with ”. . . about 10 times more skin receptors than men.”
