Would you either touch ice or a piece of hot metal? Senses

I seem to get hot and cold quiet easily and notice faint flucuations in temperature but i really hate the heat. The weather right now in the uk is nasty!! !
Its sticky and sunny and horrible, if i could i'd spend all day inside and only emerge after dark.

Both hurt. Carrying frozen food stings my fingers. I absolutely hate burning my mouth on hot drinks. I like them cold, preferably to the point where they're partly frozen. And while putting an ice cube in my mouth (to numb a cut or sore) hurts at first, it goes away fast.

So I say ice.

ICE. I have a very low tolerance for hot things. Like I can barely even go outside for very long in the summer, because it feels like the heat is suffocating and trying to kill me ... and I also prefer cold food over hot food. (most the time)

I like warmth, but I'm more resistant to cold.
Ice.

I HATE the cold, but I'd still touch the ice because I would know that it couldn't hurt me. I have no idea how hot your metal is, and I prefer not to get burned.

If it's a question of touching with my teeth, though, metal all the way. My teeth are so sensitive to the cold that I can barely eat ice cream or popsicles.

Something hot.
I can't handle the cold verry well.
In the winter or autumn if i put on the same clothes as the average person i get goosebumps and get a really bad cold.
I seem to handle hot weather much better than most people.
Summer makes me happy too compared to winter.
I like the sun, the only downside is that i get bored way too quick doing stuff outside.
I need a laptop or a mobile dvd player or something :P

Generally prefer cold over hot. To numb physical pain, I use ice.
Using a heating pad or the like is foreign & strange to me-apparently others consider it normal, though.
If I feel overheated there's limit to relief I can get. Can only take off so many layers of clothing, and try not to move. If I'm overchilled, I can get warm by moving my body (shivering, etc.) & also by piling layer upon layer of clothing or bedding. So it's easier to warm up than cool down.
Need to do errands & housework-if it's too hot, things don't get done. Sometimes it's too cold to do stuff-but there's added motivation to be active in order to be less cold.
Both extremes (winter's cold dry air & summer's humid heat) are uncomfortable for me. I like moderate (55-85 degrees F) temperatures best-I'd not have to wear more than a sweater nor need wear less than a tank top. That's my ideal-don't think I'm uncommon in that regard.
Climate I live in has long cold winters, but I can tolerate that. The short summer still gets hot enough long enough to remind me I couldn't stand living somewhere that was any warmer.

Ice. I don't like touching even slightly warm things.
