Opening your window to find out that there is no breeze coming in whatsoever
YUCKY! I think low 70s Fahrenheit with heavy overcast condition is the maximum line where you can open the window in running car and actually it makes cooling down.
Another thing to add is that chic's always yap on about how cold it is, yet fail to dress up appropriately for weather conditions ? If you are cold, then there is always the option of bringing a sweater along. I'm yet to hear a chic complain about the heat. I'm pretty sure they don't exist.
Well, the building where I work at an aquaculture company routinely gets over 100 F during the summer. It's pretty much a greenhouse where ornamental fish and clams live. Highest I've seen it was 105, so definitely not a job for a heat hater.
My guess is that the main reason so many people don't like cold is that people first evolved in equatorial Africa, where it doesn't get cold, and that our temperature preferences generally haven't changed much since.
I imagine being a cold lover is sort of like being a spicy food lover, the harshness itself feels good.
While humans did evolve in Africa they evolved in the highlands, where 50-75 degrees is the typical range of temperatures. Which I think are more comfortable. I don't like cold in the way I like spicy food. I find it refreshing while I find heat stifling. Cold on my extremities actually feels good.
That's not my experience at all. I used to dread being indoors in a lot of public places in the summer due to the overuse of A/C. In fact, my first post on this forum was complaining about A/C. Here:

That post was confusing, couldn't understand why he was using chilly to be positive.
Cool, looks like you joined C-D about the same time I did...lol.
You mentioned "used to" - so you've gotten more tolerant of air conditioned spaces? Still work in an office setting? I read somewhere that workers are most productive at around 68 degrees, which is the perfect indoor temp for me...lol.
In summer, there's few things I love more than walking into a frigid air-conditioned place - my fave place here in Atlanta for that is the big food market we have here, which is kept at 65 degrees all year round. When we had that spike up to 106 a couple years ago, I specifically went there to cool off - man, it felt soooo good walking around in there. But when it was time to leave, it was like walking into a blast furnace. Whew.
