I hate the heat. Even naked, you feel hot. But in winter, you can put on enough clothes, and still feel warm. Plus at
-20F, the air has the cold crisp feel. In the 110 degrees, it just feels like hell.

While I do see what you are saying, at -50 you can't feel warm no matter how many clothes you put on when outside.

That isn't true, at least for most people. Just ask everyone in Yakutsk if they feel warm at -50F with the clothing they have and the vast majority will answer yes.

No I suffered largely at that temperture when I lived in Winnipeg no matter how many clothes I put on, trust me, and we couldn't even be outside for long periods because of the large threat of frost bite. It's not as comfortable as it seems.

I highly doubt that they would say that. I've trained in northern Norway in temperatures warmer than that and I can assure you that even with arctic clothing, you still feel the cold!
Of course getting naked and jumping through a hole in the ice of a frozen lake is not recommended either! It's character building though!
I fare much better with heat than cold. If I get to hot, usually I'll just take a nap or lay around until it passes. With cold, my whole body will become rigid to the point where I feel that cold in my bones. I remember having to work at my college's homecoming and it was maybe 30F in the sun, so 20F in the shade, and then it was super windy so the temperature was closer to the teens. I could not stop shivering and I couldn't feel my hands and feet despite being buddled up. That was the absolute worst.
Always interesting reading and of course, I'm always on the cold side. As usual poll is an even split, gee, so surprised!
Heat is brutal and the number one killer, hot weather kills more people than other weather events. Of course, in any year certain weather events can dominate but according to NOAA, heat is the number one enemy!
^Even at -20 which I get every winter I have trouble being outside for a long period of time.
You clearly have a low cold tolerance. I've never experienced either extremes ( and certainly don't want to), but I'd probably feel more comfortable at a windless -50F with thick clothing than at 120F with no wind and totally nude
