There, I fixed your post. Please don't presume that you are speaking for others. If you cannot become comfortable in heat, then living in a cold place may be better for you. However, not all people have the exact same response to heat, cold, humidity, etc.

You fixed nothing.

Anyone ANYWHERE can put on enough clothing to be more than warm enough (unless you aren't human).

Some people do seem to have perpetual issues with coldness in their extremities even if the temperature is only mildly cold. Women in particular. I'm always shocked at how ice cold my wife's hands are even indoors in the winter, and she is just as shocked that no matter what the weather is, I radiate heat.

Needless to say, I do much better with the winter than she does.

Sure, that's true! Put some battery powered gloves on those hands!

Hot. I live in south Texas, it is just right in midsummer, although I do run the AC in the afternoon and evening to overcome poor architecture. Winters are brutal (daytime highs only in 50s-60s). I lived in Indonesia for a while, in a house without AC, and loved it.

It's 1.5 miles walk to the supermarket and back, and I don't mind the walk in summer when the heat index is 110. In winter, I schedule my shopping for warm days, I won't go if it is below about 55.

I've traveled to nearly all tropical countries, the heat is simply there, you live with it, there is no AC anywhere in most of the tropics. Buildings are designed to be comfortable in the heat, with shade and ventilation and maybe a ceiling fan, if there is electricity. In the USA, they build an AC, and then set down a hermetically-sealed building around it.

Right, and those places are mired in the 3rd world because of the lack of infrastructure that's developed in our own south (namely: AC). Worker production is much lower in places like that, and it's not hard to see why that would be. You are absolutely an exception if that's truly what you prefer.

Though I have to wonder what's wrong with you physically if you have to avoid 60 degree weather, LOL!

If I never ever see it below 70 deg F, I will be happy. I don't like cold weather, don't like snow, ice. I don't even like frost.

Hot. I've been freezing my nuts off up here in the northeast for too damn long.

But if you don't use a car that often, you're still going to need to carry all those layers with you when it warms back up.
"Sir, you need to go back and pick up that trail of apparel you left behind there!!!"

Either that or just be a weirdo and keep all the dead-weight on until you get home!!

Anywho, I'll take hot weather and next-to-no clouds all throughout the year.
Been living here in eastern NM for the past 2+ years and the winters out here are bad enough.
However, I still get the third degree from people that have lived in the Northeastern US and the Southeastern/Maritime provinces of Canada that won't shut up about "THIS AIN'T NOTHING. YOU SHOULD COME UP TO---".

"How about no!! Mr Frosty!!"

Despite the political stigma/media controversies coming out of the area, Phoenix and the rest of the southern half of Arizona is still looking like a viable option each day.
