Comment on Why don't I bruise?

Same here. At 52 I simply don’t bruise, not matter the injury. Yes, even broken fingers and toes. Between being active and clumsy, I get injured a fair bit. Can’t say when I noticed it, but it’s been a thing since at least my 30s.

There was a brief period in life where I bruised alarmingly easy! Started thinking I had really fucked up my vascular system. Then it stopped. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Drinking doesn’t seem to matter, I drink beers (many) every day, but nothing stronger.

I have almost no body fat, and maybe not enough. That the case with you? Women seem to bruise far easier, and even skinny women have that fine layer of fat some of us men lack. Just spit balling here, but I’m as confused as you are.
