Women seem to have to use the bathroom much more than men. I wondered if there is actually differences in our anatomy that is the cause of this. Or if theres not are men just better at holding it? Don't give me some dumb answer just to be a smart ***. If you actually know a good reason please let me know. I'm just curious.

That's because the uterus is pressing the bladder, so the bladder fills up more quickly than that of a man. This is in the simplest term for general audience. The medical explanation would be more complicated.

Frequent urination can be caused by a tipped uterus.
If you hold it for too long, your bladder inflates and can push against your uterus. Doing this enough eventually shifts your uterus into a slightly different position partially above the bladder. When your bladder is not taking up all of the real estate it has cleared, your uterus can tip and start to rub against the outside of the bladder causing you to feel a sensation of having a full bladder when it actually isn't.
Your organs will readjust themselves if you give them time and don't hold it all the time.

Men's bladders are about twice the size of women's - so theirs doesn't get full as quickly. Women had to evolve with smaller bladders to leave enough room for a possible pregnancy. If you ever have the chance to see the exhibit "Body Worlds" you can see actual male and female bladders and see a major size difference. I'd recommend it.

Just wait, when this same guy gets older and has just the slightest prostate problem, you will be tripping over him trying to get to the bathroom. As for now how about some real questions, like how in the heck am I working without an engine? Or better, yet how did we get here and what is our purpose? Is our universe just molecules in a huge apple just about to roll off a table?

Actually, women's bladders are much more sensitive than men's bladders. It takes more urine in the bladder for a man to be uncomfortable enough to go to the bathroom than a woman.

I think women have a smaller bladder than men do so when a women has to pee they cant hold it for a long time or else they will pee on themselves.And men can hold it for a longer time but they can still pee on themselves if they hold it too long.

Our bladders are more sensitive--just like the rest of us!

It's not just that we have to pee alot, it's a social event for us. That's why we always go in groups too.
