Myth: Men Tolerate pain better then Women?

Honestly, I think it has nothing to do with gender. I think it has to do with the individual. I also definitely believe that it depends on your exposure to pain. You can get acclimated to pain if you have to deal with it enough. Like I used to think blood tests hurt a lot, and then I developed a chronic and painful illness, and I quickly got over that. I would be scared if I was told I needed a bone marrow biopsy, but people who have cancer tolerate them regularly. The pain is still there, but you learn to handle it as you get more exposure to it.
