When I'm hot, I can enter an air-conditioned environment or jump in a cool body of water and IMMEDIATELY feel cool. When you're bitterly cold, trying to warm up takes time, and it HURTS.
My take on it is that in the summer not all environments are air-conditioned, so escaping the uncomfortable environment is much more difficult than in winter.
In winter, every indoor environment is heated (within reason), so warming up is guaranteed if you're not outside.
Also, you can dress to protect yourself from winter weather outside, whereas in summer you can only undress so much in public.
Sorry. You won't convince me. When I am in pain from being outside in the bitter wind for two minutes, that trumps being "uncomfortably hot" in the summer.
You'll just have to yin to my yang on this one, I suppose.
My final point still stands, though. In the winter you can dress to protect yourself from the pain-inducing cold. I always choose to go out without hats and scarves, and so have no one but myself to blame when I'm cold.
In the summer I can bitch all I want about the heat, since I can't protect myself from it when I'm outside.
The difference here might have something to do with body fat, but I can only speak for myself. I would be FAR more likely to be uncomfortable in summer than you, Jerome, since my body fat percentage is much higher than yours.
And so it would make sense that you'd feel the cold more cruelly than I would.

But Summer is HOT. That's MUCH worse!!!
No. No it is not.
Hot is uncomfortable. Cold HURTS.

looks like it's two against one... heh
Make that THREE!!!
And again, none of that matters to me. You will not change my mind on the matter.
Still, we are in the majority and you... are not.

So you're sheep. Whatever.
Baaa Baaa [Jerome] Black Sheep
