Current Events > Why do so many people on here like winter more than summer?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I hate winter. You cant go outside at all and when youre inside you either have to go cold (which sucks and is much worse than being hot and sweaty), pay a lot for heat or sit by a fireplace if you have one.

I enjoy wearing a single layer of clothing and being able to go inside or outside at will.

---

My body is an infernal engine, so of course I prefer cooler weather.

---

I hate winter, but part of that comes from the fact that it's 6 months out of the year here. Fall and spring are my favorite seasons.

---

summer is waaaaaaaaaay too hot
its easier to warm up than to cool down
especially when you have no A/C

---

Id rather do 40 than 120. Love vegas winters.

---

Fat people hate to sweat and fat keeps you warm in the winter time. Does this really need a poll? Just rub 2 brain cells together and I came up with this explanation, I'm sure you could have done better.

---

Winter. I live in the south so its nice when its between 40-60 degrees vs 85-100+

The poll is literally asking whether you prefer summer or winter.

tbf the topic plainly asks why the majority here seem to prefer winter and citing fatness is a fair response

Something about having sex I think

Summer all the way here for me.

I have never understood people who prefer winter. Who dop you enjoy shivering like billy-o when you can be all nice and warm in the summer.

---

I like different things about both. Dont have much of a preference.

---

Summer. I want to be able to run without being in pain from the cold.

---

Summer is the better season, winter is by far the worst season, and autumn is the second worst season.
Spring is the 2nd best season and I am loving the weather and enjoying the outdoors as I post this.

The good seasons are for outdoor fun, the shit seasons are staying in most of the time and lots of gaming.

---

In winter I have an excuse for not going outside.

Winter is depressing. I be out here in the summer.

I feel like it matters how much you enjoy simple pleasures outdoors. A walk through the woods with my dog is better than anything on tv. Going out on the lake in a kayak with just mary jane is heavenly

---

Winter, I can deal with the cold better than the heat and humidity.

---

If you are active running around and excited you will be warm thus winter comfortable/summer too hot. If you sit and do not get excited summer is better for you.

---

Its not just about being fat BTW. There was a time when I preferred cold weather to hot, and I wasnt fat.

But then at some point I started to get cold really easily and I hate winter and cold weather in general now.

---

Because being hot fucking sucks

I prefer to be cold

---

Shoveling and driving through snow sucks, but sleeping under my heaviest blankets is so much more satisfying than sleeping in the heat.

---

Living in a tropical climate, I prefer winter. I have an easier time putting on more layers of clothes to keep warm than being hot and sweaty no matter how much I try to stay cool.

---

There's something with my body chemistry that makes me break out in hives and be very itchy, almost like an allergic reaction, when it's too cold in the air. And I don't even mean it has to be really freezing, usually like somewhere in the 40s. Sweating sucks but I'd rather that than almost feeling immobilized and helpless.

Lol. I never seen these mental gymnastics before. That couldn't be more wrong. Especially considering something called water exists. That thing you jump in or pour all over yourself to instantly cool down.

Waa that a joke? I really can't tell if you convinced yourself that was a good argument >_>.

Tbf, Im skinny as fuck and this might be directed at bigger people. But then again, bigger suggests you move around less overall, so that kind of dampers that theory.

---

Because I live in MS

It is a great 81 degree F or 26 degree C day outside here, hope everyone gets to enjoy this wonderful weather today.

I ran track and this couldn't be more wrong. Cold sweat is even more uncomfortable than regular sweat and the cold air is way harsher on your lungs.

I'm an athlete that plays football (soccer) and I prefer winter. Heck last friday, I had stop playing because everytime I dribble a ball, my feets gets SUPER hot. Had to take a break and took off my boots.

---

I prefer it when the bugs and arachnids are hibernating and staying in their hiding spots than when they all come out simultaneously and start breeding like crazy.

I hate that feeling where youre still cold on the outside but hot as balls inside. I tried to ride more this winter but working up a sweat in the cold sucks for sure.

---

Winter. Ideally I'll move somewhere cold year round in my future.

---

I think some of the divide is that we all argue like the context of where we live isn't extremely relevant >_>

---

I prefer winter for sure. Being cozy inside wrapped up in a blanket it awesome. Also you can only get ao naked when it's hot. During this passed winter in texas, I jsut left my window open instead of turning on my AC. My room tends to get hot from my computer running and my own host temperature. Also my room is eight above the garage so the garage tends to really heat up my room. Summer also tends to knock my power out in my room periodically too for some reason, I'm assuming the heat puts a strain on the breaker.

---

I prefer summer when it's winter, and winter when it's summer.

---

the only advantage summer has over winter is the longer days / more daylight, IMO.

there's no such thing as cold weather, just inadequate clothing. i can spend hours outside in the winter time and stay comfortable by dressing appropriately. but when it's hot in the summer there's nothing more i can do when im already wearing shorts and a tank top. being hot sucks and sweating sucks more.

Hot weather causes me to have migraines. Anything over 80. I will wake up with a terrible headache in hot weather.

I feel much healthier in the frigid weather actually

Winter is so much better.

I hate sweating on my pillow and sticking to my bedsheets.

Fuck heat, 15 celsius max, that's it.

i'm not fat and I also hate being sweaty

I hate the heat and humidity since I sweat like crazy EVEN after losing a ton of weight. For me though it goes

Fall > Winter > Spring >> Summer

Early spring is great when it's still not quite in the 70s and 80s.
---

both seasons got their pros and cons.

during winter, i can be at home all cozy and warm playing videogames or watching TV. downside is that i can't go outside cause it's fucking cold!!

summertime, i can go to the beach or walk around with shorter clothes. the drawback is that it can get hot as fuck!

you just gotta take the good with the bad i guess...
