The working outside thing I get...that sucks. However, you say you sweat while getting dressed, working out, and at work? I don't get it...does your home, office and gym not have A/C? The only times I am actually uncomfortable is walking the dog at lunch since I still have my work clothes on.
Yes, my home and office have A/C. I'm just being a bit too anti-humidity when I make those comments. (Don't mean to make generalizations, I'm just kinda ready for a change.) I don't sweat every day when I'm getting dressed. It's just on those fun days when I'm taking care of the dogs downstairs, running upstairs to help my 2 year old with something, running back downstairs to get some coffee, etc. Those are the times when I break a sweat while getting dressed. Not a dripping, been exercising sweat, but a light bead of perspiration that is super annoying. I'd bet that doesn't happen in dry heat areas. I'm not some obese couch potato either. I mean I'm no Mr. Olympia, but I am actively exercising 4-5 days a week.
Which brings up my next point, no, my main gym doesn't have a/c. Just a couple fans. It's pretty much a "hardcore" gym, we go to lift, not to socialize, see and be seen. I also work out a couple days at the local YMCA when I take my kids for some activities, that gym does have a/c. I still sweat there. Who doesn't break a sweat when working out? Is it considered working out if you don't work out hard enough to break a sweat? Well, that appies to me anyway, maybe I'm just a naturally born "sweater." I've always been sweaty down here. I think I'm an eskimo trapped in a Floridian's body.
I never understood the dry VS humid heat argument. Hot is hot! It's about as ridiculous as arguing over who has a better spot in a hot oven.
I think Las Vegas, Tucson, and Phoenix ***** are just as uncomfortable as Dallas, Houston, or New Orleans in the summer. Nobody could ever convince me otherwise.

I choose not to vote!
I got to disagree. You can even tell the difference between Houston and Dallas. Humidity makes heat much more insufferable. However, I've learned to adjust to it.

True but Dallas's heat makes up for it with its hotter temperatures. Plus, Dallas has a little bit of humidity to add on top of its already hotter temperature.
Like i said, no one can convince me otherwise so you can disagree with me all you want.
Humid heat is never good!
