If Gingers do not have souls....

I have a ginger beard

I used to, but now with all the grey, it is cinnamon and sugar, baby!!

 

The gingerbeard men.

The only guy I ever dated without a spot of ginger in hair or beard was my ex.
Ginger runs in his family though, and in mine.

Are you one of the full body freckle gingers? He's a full body freckle ginger, and that's awesome. When we were young, husband asked me if there was anything I'd change about him. Told him I'd put freckles on his butt. His butt has no freckles because it doesn't get sun. He thought that was really funny.

My mother is an all over freckled woman. I am too, but not as thickly covered as she is. We both have no ginger hair, but, we do have the matching skin. Two of my brothers have red beards.

My pain-tolerance, or not recognising pain, comes from the side of my dad though. And I think it is more an aspie thing. Just not recognising it. Or blocking it completely.

You can't catch them.

Read a study on the topic years ago, but it wasn't about autism. According to the study, the socially excluded in general experience higher tolerance to physical pain and decreased empathy.

Don't know if that is what it is. I can tell very precisely what is wrong with a tooth, at the dentist. I miss the agony sensation. When I see a physiotherapist, I can tell her what "pain" feels healing and what "pain" indicates something wrong. She has hardly any other client who feels so accurate. And no one who feels so accurate with a high pain threshold like mine.
My oldest, extremely socially gifted, brother is very similar to me, when it comes to things like this.

If I do feel pain, the suffering sensation misses, in the sense of the "woe me, why me, etc."
It's more like how Temple Grandin explains pain from an animal pov in "Animals in Translation".

Didn't mean to imply it's an answer to anything; the study usually comes to mind when pain tolerance is brought up. It could very well just be mutant ginger genes.

Or anything else. I do not have a high tolerance for all pains. Menstrual cramps were agony, enough to pass out because of the pain. Giving birth was easy. Blocked nerves in my jaw, agony again. Tooth needing a root canal, no pain at all, but definitely feeling that something was wrong.

And then there is blocking/shutting down from pains. A massive migraine may lead to that. That's when I am aware things are getting better, with painkiller, when the pain returns.

My mother is ginger. Does this mean that I have half a soul or something?

Didn't you notice? Bodie stole your soul shortly after you joined.

I know one ginger that doesnt have a soul. Pure evil.

Jokes on Bodie. I already sold my soul to Winnie the Pooh a few years ago.
