In reply to the discussion: You Du'ers that live in the hot states where it's hot 8 months out of the year (or more), how do you [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(44,494 posts)32. I swim. I use AC. I drink cool liquids. I sweat a little. No biggie.
Neither heat nor humidity is a deterrent to this Florida resident. (I actually enjoy it in a perverse sort of way, actually.)
The thing is, if I sweat, I sweat. Sure, it's a little stinky, but other than that, it has no effect on me physically. (Within reason of course....I wouldn't want to expose myself to the heat to the point of getting heatstroke.)
But when it's cold, I feel it physcially. It hurts. I numb up. I ache. It's uncomfortable and I cannot stand to be out in the cold any longer than necessary.
That's why I prefer heat over cold any day of the week. Having lived up north and down south, I can say this affirmatively.

Me too. I'm just sort of used to it I guess. I get cold when it drops below 72.

We moved from L.A. to Oregon (and then to Washington) to beat the heat.
