As any scuba diver knows, the human body can live at great depths where
pressures are many times that of sea level. Where there is a danger is
changing depths and the mixture of gases you need to breathe. (below
certain depth, too much O2 will kill you).

So the hot women of Venus can live at great pressures and stay there.
But they would have a hard time moving to and perhaps surviving in what
we consider normal pressure.

In terms of heat, we do call the venusian women hot for a reason :-)

Did some checking:

Pressure at surface 93 bars. At that pressure water boils at 305.6°C,
but surface temperature is listed as 467°. But if there is a region of
Venus that has tempoeratures never exceed 305°, then theoretically a
water based life form could exist.

The very thick greenhouse gas atmosphere means that surface temperature
will be spread quite evenly throughout the planet. That same phenomenon
explains why global warming here on Earth is increasing temperatures in
polar regions much faster than in equatorial regions, the temperatures
are equalizing a little bit. So you will not find a region of Venus with
temperatures of 305 °C.
