Do you get hot very easily like me?

[Vic Vega]

I'm pretty much hot all the time; I keep my house at 70F in the summer and about 60F in the winter. I grew up in Chicagoland and enjoy colder climates.

40F outside? If I'll be out there less than an hour it's still shorts and flip flop weather. It's damn refreshing.

I do enjoy hot days but continuously hot climate bother me and wreak havoc on my sinuses. The perfect summer day for me is 65-75F, clear and sunny.

 

[Rhoxed]

Im a hot-body and living in forida does not help. $600 electric bills during the summer to keep the house at 72 during the day and 68 at night - and i still sweat all the time.

...lol which would take you straight into her grill

He steamrolls right through her hysteria head on.

 

[Imp]

Yep. I get by during the winter in a t-shirt and sweatpants with the heat set to 20 C.

I sweat like crazy after a couple minutes walking outdoors when it's above 15 C. Going to the mall during winter sucks the most because I just pour sweat with my winter jacket on, and they usually have it jacked up.

 

[Kev]

I am 6' @ <= 180lbs, I sweat like a pig at night mainly. My girlfriend (tiny by comparison, 6" shorter and a fraction of my weight), complains about me soaking the sheets in the bed.

glad i'm not the only one who sweats the bed. I've already had my ac running this past week (philly).

I don't really mind having to run the ac so much because I never need to turn the heat on in the winter.

I sweat very easily. It's very annoying.

 

[Wyndru]

I sweat very easily. It's very annoying.

Same here, I'm sweating right now at my desk, and it's only about 70.

 

[highland145]

says the guy who shit his pants?

pwned

 

[Farmer]

Same here. Another example: my hands and feet are always warm. My GF, on the other hand, constantly has cold hands and feet.

I grew in Chicago as well, so I like cool, dry weather. High temperatures and humidity annoys me.

 

[OverVolt]

First thing I thought of.

If 50 degrees is making you uncomfortably hot and you haven't lived above the arctic circle all your life, there's probably something wrong.

Your body does adapt to how you live. If he does that all the time then his body just pumps out more thyroid hormone. If he eased off it would probably come down. If it didnt, THEN he would have hyperthyroidism. But as it stands his body is just adapting to what he does.

 

[moshquerade]

I always thought we were 180 degrees apart.

180 degrees apart with 6 degrees of separation or is that 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon? :sneaky:

 

[moshquerade]

When I see a girl I panic, turn 360 degrees and walk away.

you would be walking towards her in that case.

 

[Wyndru]

so, a pirouette then walk into her? :biggrin:

...lol which would take you straight into her grill

you would be walking towards her in that case.

You got three in 1 thread coldmeat :awe:

[AMDZen]

No I'm not a fat ass, I'm 5'11" at 175 lbs (and low as 163 when I was single and working out).

I'm a hot person. I don't know why and I find this fascinating how same human body can be so different. My GF gets cold SOOOOOOO easily that it actually annoys me when we are in bed or same room.

-Most summer nights, I sleep with no blanket, just an extra pillow to protect my stomach from getting cold.

-During summer, I LOVE taking shower with coldest water. I love that 'WTF convulsion' you get and how your body cools very nicely.

-50 degrees out? I may be uncomfortable at first, but once I start walking around, I get super hot if I'm wearing anything more than a T shirt.

-During cold winter, GF LOVES hoarding up my body because "I'm a free electric blanket". She actually got rid of hers just because of me (once we moved in together).

-I'm a runner. I ran a 4 miler in 35 degree weather just wearing T-shirt and shorts. Once my body gets going, I don't feel cold at all (I got plenty of looks though).

It's like you're in my head. This is exactly me, perhaps you are my long lost twin.

I should add .... Unfortunately, all women are how you describe you're GF, and guys like us will simply have to live with it. I've met 1-2 girls in my life that weren't always cold. I hope to meet another one day because I don't know if I can live with most women, its simply too hard

 

[AMDZen]

first, men and women are about 10 degrees apart.
second, some people can wear shorts in the winter time. you are one of them. it's normal for you.

It's because women are cold blooded snakes

right, that is why I picked pirouette as his move, because I missed his joke...

 

[William Gaatjes]

Here are some tips :

Drink a lot of hot coffee in the summer(Also drink enough water with it).
And teach yourself to lower your body temperature by use of your breathing after you have been drinking coffee. The coffee will speed you up. You will learn yourself to slow down. After the compensation effects from your body as an reaction to the coffee wears off, you will experience you are cold.
It is all in the control of nervous system, spine muscles and the abdomen by use of breathing.

Lower the amount of sugars you use to a bare minimum. After that, you will be able to enjoy food with a bit of sugar in it much more. It will give you pleasure instead of sweat attacks. In the beginning after the sugar reduction you will feel weak, tired and sick for a few days. But after these few days you will start to regain your strength and feel actually better.

Rules 1, 2, and 3 of ATOT are as follows:
Irony does not work. There is no statement extreme enough to make people think you are being ironic. You could claim that Hitler is the greatest humanitarian in history and people will quote it and tell you he was bad.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Hitler is the greatest humanitarian in history

I should sig that.

 

[PrinceofWands]

Definitely overheat. Always have. I cannot be comfortable much above 70. Have been hospitalized for heat stroke (have had it multiple times), and now get sick in about 30 minutes if its much above 80 around me, regardless of hydration or exertion. My ideal temperature is around 50-55. I won't even put on long pants or a coat until it drops under 40. It isn't weight related as its been the same when I was skinny and heavy. I thought it might be thyroid related, but all my tests have come back normal. I'm almost 40 now, and so far no age difference as far as I can tell. I just simply radiate heat all the time.

 

[zerocool84]

I always have perspired faster than others.

What's your healthy average body temperature?

Curious if this comes into play with how an individual feels about certain temperatures.

My average temp is about 97.5ºF, about a full degree below the general average.
About a 20% BMI iirc, 5'11" 160lbs.
I actually can feel cold very easily. If I'm constantly moving around, I get hot very quickly. I have trouble wearing full gear when running, even if it's freezing, because eventually I will warm up enough to feel overwhelmed by the clothing - but it's not fast enough when it's that cold, so either I'm overly hot half the run, or my body has that painful numbness if I run in minimal clothing.

If it's 70 or 80 degrees out, I was often sweating after walking across campus, and I can sweat profusely on my head, pits, and back. I had to try and make sure I could either walk at a very leisurely pace (so, couldn't be running late for class), or be selective with clothing - like selecting shirts that won't boldly display soaking armpits.
But if it's under 60 and with little sun, I might find myself shivering.

I think excessive caffeine intake could be to blame for the crazy swings. My body temperature doesn't change, but my body swings in extremes of either feeling really hot or really cold - and this is ignoring the general acclimation to summer or winter temps.
