If you're cold in winter you can always put on another layer.
If you're hot in summer, eventually all you can do is suffer. :)
It feels like we have to keep screaming this at peoples faces for them to understand.
It's impossible to survive and be productive or do anything useful in the fucking heat.
Some people prefer being hot to being cold. Like me. Except for when I'm sleeping.

Snuggles you
Just cleared a baseball infield 2 days in a row in 98-degree heat with jeans on. You will never catch me out there in winter. Scream all you want, I hate the cold and am fine with the heat.
barefoot & shirtless == unproductive/no-expectations-from-me and i wouldn't have it any other way. lol
It's impossible to survive and be productive or do anything useful in the fucking heat.
Everyone who lives anywhere near the equator, most farmers, Australians, and the entire African continent might take exception to that claim. You can say you prefer the cold all you like, and that's fine, but this sound like a you problem.
My layers only keep the cold inside, I suspect I might be a reptile.
The best part about winter, is that if you are still cold, you can always light something on fire.
It's so hot you've switched to the fireman's technique. Heat jacket to keep radiating heat from the outside environment from getting in.
Also it’s trivial to turn matter or electricity into heat, but you can’t go the other way. Best you can do is move the heat from inside to outside, and make it everyone else’s problem.
This cliche has always landed flat for me. Always cold or uncomfortable in the winter with a dozen layers, and don't suffer in the heat ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
I love winter. 6 hours of sun per day and the color gray is all I ever wanted in life.
Gray his house With a gray little window And a gray corvette And everything is gray for him
I think Winter is pretty. The blowing snow, the silhouettes of trees, icicles… And the sounds are pretty cool, too. The wind, the crunchy footsteps…
i love winter too. here it's ice and snow, and no sun. during summer the damn sun won't go down at all so i can't sleep!
I'd live in perpetual winter if I could. You can dress for the cold, but at some point the heat and humidity make it impossible to be comfortable outside regardless of your outfit.
Being hot and sweaty is uncomfortable, granted.
But there's a point where the cold is outright physically painful. And unless you're wearing a full face mask, you're pretty much always going to have some part of yourself exposed.
You also have to weigh the discomfort of being hot against the discomfort of wearing a ton of heavy clothing, and even all the time wasted pulling on and taking off coats, hats, & etc. every time you to outside.
For me, summer wins every time.
I used to think as you do, but in the heat a moist cooling towel worn about the neck, especially when paired with a wide brimmed hat, can be a great comfort.
Come to Maine if you live in the US. You'll get your fill of winter really quick. A lot of people leave after their first winter here because it's too much and far too expensive to have to burn kerosine for 6 months.
I live in Canada today, and used to live in Sweden. I'm perfectly fine with winter and heating the house, dressing for it, etc. I'll compromise my stance by saying early spring is nice, but man do I hate summer heat and humidity. And don't get me started on mosquitoes and other summer bugs.

I have radiators. What I do not have is an air conditioner. Summer is constant suffering.
Any reason you don't buy one? If summer is so hard it seems like a good investment. You can even get the portable kinds that are way easier to install.
There is no such thing as too cold. There is only under dressed. At least that's what the old fucks say. I like me a toasty summer but that doesn't make it any less true thst its easier to get warm when your cold than it is to get cool when your too hot.
Something tells me you've never experienced negative degree weather. You can dress warm, but that only goes so far until you freeze to death. Yes I get it it's uncomfortable to be warm, but if you go inside, go for a swim, or find some shade, you will survive. You cannot survive extreme cold without specialized gear plus shelter and that's barely surviving without burning resources for heat.
You have just proven you have never been anywhere actually cold, at least not with adequate clothing. What temperature do you suppose people just magically start freezing to death regardless of their clothing?
I've worked outside in -50 with a 30km/h wind, more than once. It's not fun, but I would take that in a heartbeat to +40. I can dress for -50; at +40 there's only so many clothes I can take off before I get arrested.
For freedom unit fans he means Celsius . 104f
There is no such thing as too cold. There is only under dressed.
Which comes with extra kilograms of clothes on you. When it is getting warm and you get rid of them, it is one of the best feelings.
You ever been swarmed by mosquitoes in the snow? No? Case closed.
It's not the heat that kills me. It's mostly the added humidity. (Germany)
I'd rather be cold and miserable then hot and angry.
Title of your sex tape?
Summer here (south of Spain) is shit. The heat is unbearable.
Truly missing the suffering I experienced there with 39°C under shadow. Eternal suffering. Having to change clothes 3 times a day.
OP:
I can't say I'm unhappy to not live in a no place with no mosquitoes because it is the worst
Three negatives!

That's great and all, but living in cold climates is less sustainable and uses more resources than warm climates: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/03/130328075710.htm
Very US centric take. I'd be curious to see how Dubai or Singapore stack up in terms of energy consumption per capita compared to large cold-climate cities. Everything is air conditioned and there is so much enclosed space because being outside sucks so bad.
There are extremes at both ends. I live in a place where you have to pay for heat 6 months out of the year to survive. Most of the warm climates I've lived in have 1-2 unbearable months max. Why do you think you see so many homeless in warm climates?
Wait what. I don't see any mosquitos in summer. But in winter it's hell.
