I am just curious, as I sit here and can not cool down... would you rather be hot or cold? I personally would much rather be cold then hot...at least when I am cold I can pretty easily warm up weather its with blankets or the heater...etc

I would also rather be cold. I could wrap, and bundle up in as much as I could. I could also sit by a nice warm fire with the heater on! haha But, there is only so much you can do when it is hot. You can turn on the air conditioner. However, you cannot take off all of your clothes, and if you did and you were still hot...it is not like you can take off your skin! haha :D So, like you I would rather be cold!

Cold! I would much rather be cold!!! My partner and I are in a constant disagreement on this one. ha ha I complain often that I am hot and he complains that he is cold. And we both prefer to be the opposite. ha ha Me...I can layer and layer until I am warm. Heat...I can only take off so much before I am nakey and I can't take anything else off to try to cool off! Yup! I would rather be cold! ha ha

Well, it seems like everyone that has responded to this discussion has agreed that they would much rather be cold. And, a lot of us said the same thing. You can only take off so much when it is hot! :D

Because of my fibromyalgia the cold causes me pain. I don't like being cold. I have a heater next to my desk because my desk is in the basement so when it gets hot outside and the air conditioning is on, the basement is freezing. But I have tried not to use the heater for energy conservation (and money) reasons. I have a sweater on my chair. I really much prefer the heat though. Sweating is good for you so I won't complain about the heat.

I am the same way. I would rather be cold than hot. When it is cold I can bundle up, when it is hot, I can't take enough off. Sometimes it can be so hot that you want to take your skin off.

I too would rather be cold then hot. Because you can always put on more layers of clothes or cover up with a blanket etc But when your hot its kinda frowned upon to start undressing in public rofl Not to mention I hate to sweat.

I would much rather be cold than hot. When it is hot, I sweat profusely and can not get the sweating to stop. Colder is much better as I do not sweat and smell and can find ways to get warm without getting too hot. It is nicer to be cold than hot. It was just way too hot and humid during my vacation in North Carolina. Even the rain did not cool things off.

I am with you on this one. I would much rather be cold. When you are hot there are just so many clothes you can take off and the heat tends to make me feel sick. But when I am cold, there are so many things I can do to warm up.

I would much rather be cold than hot. I hate hot weather and heat.. I hate being hot. I get all sweaty and irritable. Summer is my least favorite season, for sure. I like that when I'm cold I can snuggle up with some blankets, like you said.

I feel the same exact way -- I prefer feeling too cool or cold. I hate feeling hot, even feeling slightly warm makes me really uncomfortable. Also, as someone who likes to be energy-conscious, I like that I can put on a cardigan or jacket and it isn't going to cost anything or burn any energy.
