Poll of the Day > Hey buddy, it's 45 degrees outside. Why are you wearing shorts?

(+) Yeah! (+)

It's cold dammit.

I'm certainly from the North of England and cold doesn't bother me all that much. Not that I have shorts on though.
---

I'm from the north, and I would never wear shorts outside in 45 weather... That's being said, I hate the cold in general. The worst part of the year in coming soon...
---

I have like three fucking people here at work in Cleveland that have shorts on. And even during the dead of winter too.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear

Ok, and what's the difficulty of pants then?
---

Sometimes I'll drive with my window down when it's around that temperature. Feels kind of nice and brisk.
---

nothing really fancy about it im just not cold enough to warrant pants most times in 45 degrees

Obviously, you wear shorts and a t-shirt when it's 45 to toughen yourself up for when it's 15.

I wear shorts in colder weather than most people, but I have a friend who takes it to the extreme and wears shorts when it's below freezing.

Other: my body works on Celcius, 45 means I'm melting hereeeeeeeeee.....

"Below freezing" isn't that cold unless you're spending extended periods of time outside.

It has been a long time since I wore shorts, if it were 45 degrees outside that might motivate me to wear them again...

because they are comfy, and easy to wear
---

Eh i dont wear shorts regardless of temp but whats wrong with 45 degrees? That sounds actually decent the lucky peoples ;_;

Kind of like altitude training.

It's 45 degrees. That is shorts weather. Do you want me to wait until 60? I would only be able to wear them for like 3 months.
---

bunch of weirdoes thinking it's celsius instead of fahrenheit
---

45 is shorts weather for me if I feel like wearing them. But I'll wear pants too because it goes better with my fall wardrobe.

I wear long sleeves with shorts sometimes, but it has to be a very specific kind of outfit for that to happen.

Pants in the summer is a hard never ever.
---

below 60 degrees, the pants and jacket come out. The circulation in my hands and feet are terrible so theyre always ice cold
---

I don't wear shorts but I wear sandles in the winter
---

'cause it's 66f
---

maybe bros are UPS drivers?
---

it's 48 today in alaska. I stopped wearing my shorts like a month ago though

that's +7C. when working outside, the limit for shorts was about -4C. anything below that and my legs start to noticeably sting and ache.
---

When I lived in Virginia people would wear shorts with snow on the ground. Part that confused me is they'd have a hoodie on. So your upper body gets cold but your legs are immune to it? Ok...
---

45 is a bit much, but I'll happily wear shorts in the 50s and be perfectly comfortable.

On the other hand, I basically start sweating at 75.


---

I'm from Virginia and prefer the cold. The hell with summer.
---

Other: Are you daft, man!? These are jeans! I never wear shorts!

As an Australian, reading 45 degrees had me thinking "well because that's pretty darn hot and also why would you even be outside in that hellish weather?" (45C = 113F)

113 isn't hot enough that you have to stay inside. i've played tennis in 110 degrees, and the court is a few degrees hotter

And carrying a backpack!

Daaaaaamn... The highest I ever seen was 36C and I was almost passing out inside. I can't even imagine how it must feel at 40 and beyond.

Probably depends on where you live some places tend to be more humid and humidity always makes it worse.

45 degrees? I'd be dying, way too hot.

Places with crazy heat usually are crazy dry too.

Yeah but its worse when its humid trust me. I remember a particular day it was 110. It hurt to breath. Where as I worked in a kitchen once and had the thermostat read around 110. That wasn't so bad

My best friend tells me as a smoker going to Florida was a nightmare until his body adjusted. Said it felt like he was inhaling fire.

Aside from gym class and when I was a little kid. I didn't start wearing shorts until I was an adult. But then again j was like the one poll option where I would be known to wear a hoodie in the summer

90 is hot enough that I have to stay inside.

I won't even mow my lawn if it's hotter than 80 or so, I sure as unholy fuck won't be doing any optional physical activity over 100.

I can't handle the heat whatsoever, so it's definitely "stay inside" weather for me. Nothing I could do about it while working in a warehouse, though (thankfully it was only around 35-38C).

Australia is weird in where some places with hot weather can be bearable, whereas other places it's just... no. Lock me in the freezer, please!

A hoodie keeps your core warm, pants don't, and sometimes that's enough

As said humidity. I can Handle heat but humidity kills me. It can take even a plain warm tempature day and make it feel miserable

I've gotten used to it these past several years though. But my first summer here I'd step outside and instantly feel damp and slimey.
