Humans have hot and cold thermoreceptors in their skin. Some have less cold thermoreceptors than others and can tolerate the cold better.

I have a lot of body hair so I don't need a jacket or sweater unless it's in the single digits.

I would much rather a crisp, cold, wet 30 degree day than a 95 degree day with 40% humidity. Our summers are miserable so give me frigid winter over our summers all day errday.

I run hot, so in the winter I don't really need a jacket/sweater unless it is really cold. On the flip side I sweat like a whore in church during the summer.

And for me, i don't care if my legs are cold, it doesn't make me uncomfortably cold if they are cold. As long as my core is warm, i'm good, so yeah i'm the idiot in shorts all the time. And if i have to go inside of any store, i know that i can take my jacket off and be dressed appropriately for the 75 degree inside temperature since every moron around hear cranks the heat up way beyond what is comfortable for me.


That's me as well.

I hate when it gets cold and places crank the heat up beyond what is normally comfortable. frick, everyone is dressed for the cold, it doesn't need to be 80 degrees inside.

People who are use to it being 0 don’t find 45 cold. This isn’t rocket science

Kind of my feeling with cars.

I don't think some people get that the climate control in the vehicle has an entire area between the coldest and hottest setting.

Once I hit my mid-thirties I started to notice the cold effects me more. But by no means do i bundle up. Jeans, a shirt, and light fleece jacket gets me by most days down here in winter. Now I am bald so I do kick a cap, or beanie style hat when outside if the temps are 40 or below.

Usually they are idiots from up north who always give you a line about being from the north and this isn't even cold to them. My neighbor gave me this line last week.... It's like they think their body is genetically altered to maintain a higher core temp than someone from below Ohio.....


You know this is a two edged sword though...there's people that visit up north when it's a hot summer day and act like it's not hot up there when it's 95 degrees out and 73% humidity. Maybe it's not 102 and 98% humidity...but it's still hot and miserable no matter who you are..I've lived in both places and seent it all...it does get shitty hot in some northern places and it does get shitty cold in some southern places...you just get acclimated to your normal trends wherever you are for a while.

I wear shorts, t-shirts and flip flops all winter in Louisiana, unless it's windy. I sweat and feel hot even when it's 70 degrees. Id rather be cold and wear warm clothes than sweat, but that's not the way my body works, unfortunately.

There's always a few of you berrypickers in here shivering in your north faces working inside with the women while us big baws are working outside in short sleeves building civilization and shite

I will wear short sleeves if I know I'm only going to be outside walking from the house to the car, and car to the office. I mean I am outside a total of 2 minutes, so why do I need a coat? If I plan on being outside an extended period of time I will have a coat on though.
