60% of people think Dallas is hotter than hell. Says a lot about the average intelligence (or "un"-telligence??) of many users of this weather forum. Poor buggers.
The only thing you can do in this type of heat is sit in your house all day. That is depressing.
At least with freezing weather you can bundle up, bring with a thermos filled with a warm drink or soup, and enjoy the outdoors.
It would be,
only some people experience the weather in an opposite way.
For reasons unknown to me,
2 hrs outside below 20 F (-7 C) I cannot dress for.
Yet all day in the hot 98 F (37) C sun (with sunscreen; no burns) is slightly-tiring, at worst.
I accept that some people feel differently in hot & cold
but it's funny to me when people make blanket statements that
"no one can do anything outside" when the heat index pushes 105-110 F.
The general population seems to ignore that some people handle heat well,
and sometimes it feels like that attitude is saying we don't count, by pretending we don't exist.
I wish someone, anyone, would envy my heat-tolerance, as I envy some people's cold tolerance.

People tolerate heat differently. Some people simply dislike heat, other people might have a medical conditions which doesn't allow them to tolerate it. For me it's a bit of both, I hate summer but serious heat gives me headaches and nausea.

Dallas might be hell to some, but they should wait until they get to the real hell.
I only get sick in the winter here in Houston, fine in the summer.

I actually feel like hell in reality is frozen cold and not warm/hot like some people believe...
It is an insult to the sun(that helps our Earth so much), and an insult to warm/hot weather to say hell is warm/hot and to associate warm/hot weather to negative things like that.
Either way, I easily pick Dallas over the other option without hesitation.
With the exception of this year that was a bit too dry and hot over there in Dallas I usually don't find the weather to be so bad there. Actually, they can have pretty great weather(just not for the past few months this year). To routinely get above 100 degrees like 30 to 40 days in a row and to have temperatures get to 106 to 115 for that area of the USA this past 2 onths is definitely a bit too much.
I can easily enjoy temperatures in the 70s, 80s and 90s, especially with low humidity. Sometimes I don't even mind temperatures in the lowest end of the 100s(100 to 105) if it comes with low humidity and it can be enjoyable for a short time period. Plenty of people can enjoy these temperatures.

I'm one of those people that can handle heat well. I have been in 125°F heat index. However, I love the cold and even though I can handle the heat, I HATE IT! I'm not comfortable in it. Did my whole city stay indoors when it was 125°F heat index? NO. People were still doing what they "needed" to do, but taking precautions. I think most people who hate the heat just don't like it, not that they can't tolerate it.
