Which do you prefer to be temperature wise...cold or hot?
I have noticed that I am very sensitive to the cold but can tolerate being too warm. Being cold is painful to me physically, and totally clouds my brain. How does everyone else react to cold/heat?

I'm neither though I enjoy the heat more than the cold. But I can enjoy the cold if I'm specifically doing cold-weather activities (well dressed and playing in snow, wind, rain).
My son (7) started out insenstive to temps, became obsessed with being cold (cold showers, light clothing) and is now not so obsessive over it. But still prefers the cold and fabrics that keep cool. He still prefers to "underdress".

I'm never too warm. I only sit on our screened porch when it is July or August and I live in FL. So basically, I am only happy with sauna weather.

I am extremely sensitive to cold, but I don't notice at all when it's hot. If it's hot and humid then that's another story. I can't handle the humidity.

I love the heat and can't stand the cold! I'd have to say my favorite temperature is 86 degrees farenheit.

Cold is painful to me too. If i have to be one extreme or the other, i choose hot. I'm kinda used to humidity though bc i live in SC. Shocked me when i went out to Idaho and there was no moisture in the air - lips became painfully chapped and my nose bled.

I hate heat, which really sucks because I live in Texas. I can go out in 20F weather in a T-shirt and be comfortable.

Meant to put hot, but I put cold. I get overheated very easy. The cold doesn't seem to bother me as much. I feel cold, but I guess it doesn't really effect me.

I can't take heat at all, whether it's climate or metabolism. I've got a lot of emotional things pegged on to heat, but I think they only reflect my attitude. For example, the inescapability of heat - it's like Alcatraz, you'll never escape. And so on.

Cold is always easier to deal with than heat. I work in the construction industry and rarely have heat in the winter and never AC in the summer. At work I seem to be easier to ignore it than harder at home. You get used to it after awhile but heat is worse.

Hot and dry is best for me, shade, some water on my shirt, slow down, I can cool. Dry cold is OK, but you have to dress for it. Heat goes away when the sunsets, cold gets worse.

86 on an island with an ocean breeze, stagnate it can be oppresive. Arid lands 110 is nothing, but wear a hat.
