Why is female armor so much better than male armor?

[The Maggot Guy]

Or are women in Video games just 300% tougher?
Literally, since women get the same damage resistence by wearing 25% or less armor, then their armor must be freakin' tough as nails. How in the world is that even possible? what material are they using? Are women just naturaly better at wearing armor or something?

Laws of anime. "The less a given piece of armor covers, the more protection it provides"

also to note most of the npcs are men so it best to play as a woman char for the damage boost.

Alternate explanation: testosterone renders males deathly allergic to wearing anything cute, adorable, skimpy, or sexy

Looking at Vanilla armor, they hardly look that much weaker. Rather, they have pieces put in slightly different places to better accomodate the female body. Leather Armor, Dwemer Armor, Nordic Carved Armor, Daedric Armor, Orcish Armor, Iron Armor, Steel Armor, and most other sets of armor look just as bulky/protective on males as on females.

True though

First less serious but true:
Men have bigger pain treshold (when they start to feel the pain). Women on the other hand better tolerate the pain - they are biologically prepared to menstruation and childbirth.
So men receive less negative modifiers to skills but women have more HP :P

Second:
You are talking about mods.
Do you really think that if the mod with female armors was made for the girls and not the guys the armor would look the same? Come on. :P
I play Vanilla and I play with "both hands on my desk" :P

Actually, many people who make skimpy stuff are women. Majority of Skyrim players are women.

That's one reason why I don't use mods. If I do, I can't keep both my hands still. And that's really annoying. But also tempting.
If I want to play, I'll play. If I want to "do that" I'll go on e621.net. No need to blend these two together

This is the quote of the year.

Thanks for the NSFW warning!

I don't view it as necessary. You shouldn't be looking at Steam Discussions while at work or at school, and anywhere else you could just say "Some guy linked it, I didn't know what it was". And seriously, from the context, couldn't you deduce that it contains explicit content?

Thanks IS always necessary!

Personally I play with both my feet on the desk.

Why are you asking this here as male and female armor in this game are nearly identical - short of the tiny boob window in Fur armor for women. You'd think that area'd get chapped if left exposed like that.
