I don't mind being hot. I hate being cold.

    If you're cold you can always put on another layer. If you're hot, you run out of layers to take off

    I can put 15 layers on in winter and still be cold. My toes and face are the worst. If I try to protect my nose, I get snot everywhere and it's gross. If I don't, I feel like my face will freeze off my body. Too hot sucks as well. No winning for me except for spring maybe.

    I don't mind being hot but I hate humidity. It's 7am and the temperature is 67 with a "feels like" temperature of 77. And there is no breeze. There is never any breeze here. I fucking hate it

    Yeah, cold all the time, barely see the sun because I'm at work the entire time it's out. Can't do much of anything outside, roads are frequently shit, can't get together as much with my friends because none of our homes are big enough, think about offing myself constantly because of the above factors, winter blows.

    My hands feel like they're being crushed by boulders, and face feels like needle face x1000 in the cold. The peak of summer may be miserable but I can still function without extreme pain. And before anybody mentions better gloves or a face covering, it doesn't help. I've tried every magical glove in existence. And heated ones make me sweat after 5-10 minutes and I'm arguably in a worse position, same with full face coverings. FUCK WINTER.

    I hate winter. Switching all my winter wardrobe to wool has made it at least less sweaty under all the layers. Seems like every winter thing is made of some synthetic fiber that acts like wearing a plastic bag when you sweat. Wool is the way.

    Wool is the only (that I am aware of,) fabric that will keep you warm after it's wet. Cotton is the worst, it sticks to your skin when wet.

    If you are caught outside, stranded, they say to make sure to take layers off, because if you sweat, you die.

    Real talk! I grew up on the equator and moved to somewhere it snows on occasion. All the mfers saying "I can only get so naked" haven't experienced the cold.

    I grew up (and still live) in a part of Canada where it regularly gets below -40°C in the winter, and... no. I 100% will say stuff like "I can't take off any more clothes."

    Winter is fine, I can always add another layer. Summer sucks now, it didn't get this hot nearly as often in the past, and I mostly hate summer now.

    You are contradicting yourself not one line break later.

    Please humor me, where is the contradiction?

    You said summer is more hot.

    I think our frames of references are cattywompus.

    Yes, summer is indeed more hot.

    It's hotter than the other seasons, and it's hotter than it used to be.

    I don't like the hot.

    I prefer the cold, and my comment was saying I prefer the cold, specifically because I can't handle the hot well.

    I was saying it's very silly to claim something along the lines of "The only reason people think they prefer the cold season is because they haven't experienced real cold."

    I've experienced the cold. I prefer it.

    I still see no contradiction, but maybe I'm just dense?

    Edit: Minor structural change, less ambiguous wording.
