Ha Ha
This I know the answer to
Right out of anatomy class
I knew all that hard work would pay off somewhere
There are two main reasons. First, the hair on our faces is different to that on arms or legs, it is shorter and rougher and of course in women, there is a lot less of it. So there are fewer places where the hair comes out of the skin and it doesn't rise up in the same way. This makes the goosebump much less noticeable.
Second, we have a very strong blood supply to the face and head. If you have ever cut part of your face, you've probably noticed that even a very small cut here can bleed a lot. This blood supply helps to keep the face warm even when outside it is quite cold. One response to the cold is to reduce the blood supply to the skin surface in other parts of the body, but you know that when we are cold, our cheeks are often bright red. It seems that we have evolved to have a good supply of blood to the head at all times, even when cold, because this is the location of our most important organ-the brain. That way, we can think about ways to get warm again!

I do. Am I alone? Anyone else? Or am I just weird? Maybe you've never been cold enough, try living in Wales in winter, then you'll get goosebumps everywhere!!! lol

cuz our bodies know that we would look so dumb, so they send them real fast down to our arms.
