Let me start off by saying that no one needs to explain to me why saddles are made differently, nor do they need to explain what happens when a mommy and daddy love each other very much.

But this is a serious question- does it really matter? A lot of times I don't see a difference at all except that ladies saddles are 10 - 20mm wider than the mens, and a little shorter.

The specific saddle I'm referring to is a Brooks B17, which I can't usually afford.
