As Majami (who showed a great deal of compassion for the homeless population) has said, no homeless person in Miami has died of heatstroke despite the incessantly humid summers but homeless people have died of hypothermia in when sleeping out in the elements places that don't even have that cold winters (cold spell with temps just around freezing at night).
Most people are extroverted, straight and summer lovers. I'm introverted, a *** and winter lover. =D
God/nature/what have you only made a few ppl special, beautiful and rare. Most ppl he just made like everybody else. This is why it's so hard if you are different, yet so wonderful at the same time.
Except on the internet. Other magical weirdos have banded together here, and the out became in and the in becomes out and we become the bullies and the majority instead of the other way around. Like how I see a lot of ppl on forums talk about being a cold lover but IRL, I see more people talking about liking heat. I don't really hear ppl IRL act all excited about cold weather... actually my sister does kind of but it would be funny to hear some common old church lady talk about how she loved the cold weather coming up. That type of thing would tickle me to pieces.
Also heat brings life. And positivity. I think most people are wired this way to have 'things happening and going on' in their brains. Some of us... for whatever reason, don't like a lot of crap going on inside there- we like the peaceful nothingness of winter. Of the dark, of the serene. We are ironically energized by the void. Not necessarily bad/negative things, but just a certain type of absence or energy.

Cold is far more uncomfortable, heat is far more dangerous.
dunno, I'm pretty uncomfortable in heat too. And both are dangerous when taken to campy extremes.
As we shiver through the first weeks of winter, here's a fact to give you goosebumps: more people die from the cold in Australia than in Sweden. According to a new study published in medical journal The Lancet, cold contributed to about 3.9 per cent of deaths in Sweden, but 6.5 per cent in Australia.
And here's another one. Even in balmy Australia, cold weather claims more lives than hot weather. The same study concluded that heat contributed to only 0.5 per cent of deaths.
Yep, especially in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth where as Ethereal said, are too thin, especially as Perthites are very prone to cold.
Our homes have a continental climate. Lol....
I thought we are more prone to cold? Perth is warmer than Sydney in the winter by like 3C.
