I'm a woman....I live/work on a farm. I do a lot more physical work than the average person, even men.
You can see the veins on my arms better than you can on most women, and some men.
Some of it has to do with the body fat ratio between men and women. Women are ment to be curvy, and carry more body fat, to help support a baby should they become pregnant.
Men have less body fat, and bigger veins to help them cool down faster/better. Also to help them carry blood faster/better to all their organs.
This is because in prehistoric times men were the hunters. They ran, chased down, and killed the large prey animals. Women mostly gathered, or hunted smaller prey that didn't require that tremendous outburst of energy. Because men have larger muscles and less fat to cover the veins up, they stand out more prominatly.
It's also one of the reasons men often have very prominant eyebrown ridges, and women do not. Those eyebrow ridges protected the men's eyes when they got up close and personal with dangerous big game animals. Since women were not doing that kind of hunting, the faces of women generally remaine smoother, and with no prominant eyebrow ridges.

Everybody has veins in their arms. Men seem to be warmer than women, so veins being at the surface is a way to cool the blood down.

It is called the "anticubital vein" and it is on everyone but because men tend to have more muscle than women in their arms then it comes to the surface a bit more prominently. Feel on your arm in that area for a spongy spot and that will be it...yup

The veins show more in men's arms because they are closer to the surface, not having the fat layer covering them that most women have. That isn't an insult, just a truth.

Women do, the veins are usually less prominent unless the female works out a lot.

We are built differently. But you mean why do the veins in men's arms show and they do not in women's arms. My guess is it has something to do with muscles.

Both genders have veins in their arms, however men have more prominent muscles to show them off.

Sorry, but I did laugh a bit. All humans have veins in their arms. Without veins, you cannot have circulation. Very bad... Women just have a higher percentage of body fat and their veins do tend to be of smaller diameter than those of similarly sized males.
Don't be surprised that a Pimp knows this type of stuff.
