Well living in Florida for most my life I think my body has adapted to hot weather. It can be 35C outside and I'm barely breaking a sweat. But make it -5C and I'm the guy wearing 8 feet of jackets on.

Hot. I live in Charleston, SC, so I'm used to 90-100 degrees and heavy humidity. I can't stand cold weather though. Having hypothermia once doesn't help.

Living in England... I prefer to be cold.

Summer can become unbearably hot and I find that the sweltering heat can really mess up my status quo, sapping me of all energy and motivation... plus it really messes up my sleep pattern, since I sleep during the day to avoid the hottest period and only become active (i.e. wake up) during the evening/night/early morning when it's coolest. When you have a low tolerance to heat like I do, your siesta last for longer periods of time.



However, I do like it when it gets cold, when the air is crisp and you can see your breath. Yes, it can sometimes be uncomfortably cold, which makes wrapping up in warm clothes, having a warm bath or getting snug in your bed even more enjoyable.

It's much easier for me to combat excessive cold than it is for me to cool down if I'm too hot.

aha, sounds like an experiment in the making. Although my view remains the same. British Winters are nothing. NOTHING I TELL YOU!

My girlfriend grew up in Pennsylvania and always slaps me upside the head if I complain about the cold.

I always find it easier to warm myself up then cool myself down so i guess i would rather the earth froze and went into an ice age then the rivers boil and the earth goes up in flames......

Maybe it's because I grew up in a place that has 4-5 months of winter every year, but when the sun is out, it's time to load up some beer and head to the beach.

Cold. You can alway put more clothes on, but if you're hot, you get down to your pants, and then things get awkward.

...so take off all your clothes!"

ahem...apologies for the impromptu Nelly reference there.

Just wanted to know what preference people had between being either too hot or too cold. This is an argument that I've had with many different people over the years, I enjoy meeting strangers and asking them...it helps to break the tension.

My own opinion is that it is better to be too cold because you can always put on more layers (even to the point of not being able to walk). If you're too hot however, the furthest you can go is naked and sometimes that's a little frowned upon! Once you're naked, there's nothing more you can do if you're still far too hot, short of sitting on the freezer...but fuck that, ice on my balls is not an experience I would like to relive.

So yeah...thoughts? I'd like to hear instances where you've gone to great (and perhaps absurd) lengths to stay warm or cool down.
Id rather be cold, its easier to warm up since you can always put more blankets on, where as when your hot you can only take so much off :p
Oh and ofcourse, when its cold its a good excuse/time to snuggle up with your girl/partner, when its too hot you cant :( lol

I actually like the cold, but I HATE this temperature that England's having at the moment, mainly because we still have to wear long black trousers and blazers because the god damn headmistress won't call it summer uniform.

Cold it is. If you're too cold you can just put on more blankets or clothes or even rub up against a machine that has been running for a long time in order to get more heat. If you're too hot then what are you gonna do, take your underwear off? What if you're in public? No one ever gives anyone a dirty look for putting an extra jacket on. Also, If you're too hot you sweat and personally that can make me really uncomfortable.

btw I am a Canadian, but I'm not biased about this. I live in Winnipeg, where it gets really fucking cold in the winter and really fucking hot in the summer, and personally, I prefer the cold.

Well, I live in the south, so yeah, our winters are weak, but the people up the top of Scotland might not be too pleased to hear their winters written off so easily :p

I prefer the Cold, and despise the Heat (It makes me... not a nice person to be around), so I would much rather stay too cold then too hot.
Sadly it's not a choice I can make, as the Seasons here tend to pick one extreme or the other.

No stories sadly, although the Dog did take control of the Fridge area to keep cool one Summer.
