It is the bane of most of the tiny girls I know, and an inescapable fact for those not so thermally inclined… Even in the summer, it can be pretty freaking cold. Or rather, WE can be pretty freaking cold. When your internal thermometer is kinda wonky, you can freeze just sitting in the shade on a hot summer’s day.
I know. I’ve done it.
And don’t get me started on getting out of the pool during the summertime. It’s shiver city!
…. Ok… I’m a freak. I know. 😛
creehawk Says:
I KNOW! I’m sitting here in my office wearing a tank, a hockey jersey AND a jacket … with a blanket across my lap and a space heater cranked. lol
Bess Says:
As one tiny girl to another, I TOTALLY DO THAT! In FLORIDA.
Blake Says:
While I on th other hand just give off body heat. But I have friends who like you are cold all the time, I been attacked once by a pair of them who need to warm up. Nothing is funny on the outside I guess then two small women chasing a larger guy.
Tinka Says:
I am the same way. Anytime I am at home I am wrapped in a blanket; preferably with a cup of tea.
auntie char Says:
hey babe i think it’s a family trait, because i’ve got lots of padding and i’m freezing most of the time. Calvin says i’m crazy cause i freeze all day then at night i sleep with a sheet and the air conditioner turned up high. mean while he is covered up with a thick duvet and tells me i’m trying to freeze him to death in his sleep. ha ha.
Nziz Says:
It’s not just the tiny girls either! I’m six feet tall, and I’ve been known to read outdoors in a sweater when it’s 90 degrees in the shade. (Sitting still for a long time makes anyone’s body temperature drop a bit…) I think I’m just geared for warmer weather.
Rob Says:
You know what’s also fun? Having a plasma TV, room really warms up then… and during the summer, that’s extra fun.
wolfess Says:
My friends are all like that, but I’m backwards! I’d go snowboarding in Jeans and a T-shirt if they where water proof and still be perfectly warm. XD
Jim Says:
My wife is the same dang way. I’ve got the a/c pumped up, am walking around in shorts, melting into a puddle, and she’s in her chair, wearing long pants, a hoodie, and wrapped in a blanket or three. Blows my mind.
fop Says:
I’d like to go on record as saying that this also happens to huge men. Slow metabolism or something I guess.
Dread Pirate Roberts Says:
I have a built in furnace. Wife keeps telling me to turn it on, even in summer ’cause she’s cold.
Ephraim Says:
i’m male and practically cold all the time >.<
Cori Says:
Hey, I’m not tiny, and I still have the cold curse.
Giancarlo Says:
Maybe it’s because we are experiencing a summer that is about 6-10 degrees below the average? Well at least in Montreal we are…
RedFox Says:
Oh, my girlfriend is also very freezy.. but she is neither tiny nor lean. in fact, she has much more “insulation” than me… i guess it is also a cardiovascular matter.
perhaps your pet scientist should race you around the the house a few times 🙂
Melvar Says:
It could be that you’re missing brown fat: it’s the body’s heater.
jokermun Says:
Simple easy way to explian, Women trade their heat gene for the find any thing gene, that why most men can’t find thing (even when in front of them *shaky fists his phone*)
Damien Sim Says:
you should try to make it to Thailand in early April for Songkran… Hot weather and people throwing water at everyone else along the road 😀 Was in Taiwan this April and the first couple of days was cold… even in the sunshine
