Do you have warm or cold skin?

[vi edit]

Other than menopause or obesity, not sure if I've ever met a woman that ever had warm skin or ever complained about being "too hot".

FWIW, I always run hot, my wife is cold. So I am support to your theory.

I have warm skin and am most comfortable in cooler temperatures. my GF likes warmer temperatures and her skin is not cold but it's not really very warm either.

I am a cold, she is a warm.

My hands seem to always be ice cold, and it's actually a little embarassing when I shake a client's hand.

It depends on the air temperature. If it's above somewhere around 75°F, my skin's warm.
Closer to 70°, and it's cold. Apparently there's some evaporative cooling going on, as my skin temp can even drop several degrees below ambient. (Thermocouple-measured.)

Strange how that can happen. I remember once being in a AC'd lab and doing some chemistry experiments when I picked up an electric thermometer by the tip and the reading dropped by like 7F. Never quite figured out how that happened lol.

But my skin is usually a few degrees above ambient now. If you shook my hand it would probably feel perfect.

Those with really hot skin are terrible people to make any sorts of contact with during the summer. My mom likes to touch the back of my neck once in a while and it feels terrible during the summer. Kinda like walking into a sauna.

My fiance has two nicknames for me: 1) Coldylocks (because I complain about being cold a lot) and 2) little sweetie furnace (because I get very hot when I sleep)

One time at my parents' house we used one of those instant read thermometers to measure how much heat everyone gave off and sure enough the people who felt the coldest gave off the most heat.

I feel cold all the time and I don't radiate any heat. In a room that is maybe 15C (60F), my hands are so cold that my joints seize. I can barely type or write.

I guess it really depends on the temperature of the water I happen to be skinny dipping in! :hmm:

I tried to go skinny dipping once, but I was too fat.

:awe:

Warm - if I wasn't, I'd be reptillian, and we can't have that happening now, can we?

 

[Imp]

Going to say warm because I feel warm and most other people I've "felt" are cold. Oh, and I sweat like crazy when the temperature outside exceeds 15 C.

 

[Saint Nick]

Warm.

Well, cold hands/feet are different. And why would you be in a room that is 60F? That is really cold for a room if you are just sitting.
