    I honestly think men. From my research ( I got curious too along time ago and looked it up) And it points too the direction of men. For example, when I hurt myself, I chuckle. It's not because I try to chuckle. It just comes out. So, I have two sisters and 1 brother. When my brother was 5 years old, we had a treadmill. He cut his tow (sorry if i spell anything wrong it's 4 a.m. where i am...) off nearly and he was waiting for my mom to get off the phone while he stood there in a poodle of blood. Of course, my mom wanted to get stitches (which he probably should have) but my dad just wrapped his tow up and it healed on it's own. Which i think is amazing. I'm 3 years younger than him so i don't remember any of this these are just from stories. But my sister had to get her gallbladder out. She had to deal with it for 3 years before they realized what it was. I was born with tonsoles that made me un-able to breath when i was laying down. I had my tonsoles for 6 years before they finally looked down my throat. I had to go into surgery within a week while i was awake (Note: I was 6 years old and in kindergarten at the time). I had to sleep in a car seat while I slept or i would have died. My other sister had to have a C section recently for her baby. Now that I have told these stories, hopefully you realize that both men and women have bad pain times and that we never can tell how the other sex feels. But from proven fact as of right now men have a higher pain tolerance. Now the fact that women say they have a higher pain tolerance because they have to give birth is wrong. Scientists are still working on why women can give birth (other than the obvious reasons) due to their pain tolerance. That is the only exception to that fact as far as we know. But then again what can we know if one sex is not the other? So hopefully this answered your question.
