Sorry boys, but we lost this battle of the sexes. Women are the superior sex when it comes to the gustatory system. Not to get too technical, but our gustatory system is comprised of various weird mechanisms like taste buds, receptor cells, ion channels, nerves, neurons, and so forth spread out through our piehole and right into the nogging in a delicious neuro-synaptic matrix of flavour-processing biocomputers. Complex and complicated stuff. Researchers conduct all sorts of tests to determine our abilities to sense, perceive, identify, discriminate the different aspects of taste, and generally speaking, ladies have higher taste sensitivity than men because women can identify substances using lower concentrations.

Mezcal with Mexican spices. Ay chihuahua!

I like the presentation. Very thoughtful and refined.
Differences between men and women have also been observed in terms of hormonal influences on taste.

Free nachos and sauces? Don't mind if I do
It is not secret that the human female undergoes hormonal fluctuations throughout their lives as a consequence of menstrual cycles, pregnancy, menopause, environmental stress and so on. These fluctuations are not so pronounced in men. Therefore, these hormonal changes have a differential effect on the sexes in their ability to process gustatory signals. Estrogen in particular is basically Miracle Growth for taste receptors.

Chorizo to kick it up a notch. Ole!
Other differences between men and women that have been observed is their preference to sweet vs salty foods. As you may have guessed, women lean towards the sweet flavours, and men prefer salty foods. Very curious.

Yup. These guys and gals got my number.

I can confirm that this was delicious
What could account for such differences in taste between males and females? It has been found that women have more taste buds on their tongues than men. So, this could account for the ladies' ability to detect flavours more easily and come out on top of tests vs men. Moreover, as they age, men and women experience a decline in taste sensitivity but men get the raw end of the stick because the decline is more pronounced in us. There are also cultural factors at play because believe it or not, taste is influenced not only by the biological mechanisms but environmental factors as well.
Interesting fact ✍️ : Taste receptors cells on your tongue only last two weeks and are then replaced.

Jaguars on the wall? More likely than you think
