When it comes to internal tempature. I mean I sweat my brains out in rooms where my wife wears sweaters. We are constantly fighting over the tempature in the bedroom. We are always changing the temp in the car and my wife uses the heated seats even in the summers.

    Sooner or later she'll go through menopause and start getting hot flashes.
    Whoa, chill bro... you know you can't raise your voice like that when the lion's here.

    i am always hot.
    although my hands and feet can be like ice cubes at times.
    my husband has quite the internal heater, but i think he gets chilly before me. overall tho, most relationships i observe what you say seems to hold true for many.
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow

    NOt me, I am hot natured. I have been all my life. I have to have a fan on my face at night. All the people in my family are hot natured. The air is on 68 all the time. I hate being hot, I wish I was cold natured. I'm forever fanning myself and wearing cool clothes in the winter while everyone is complaining how freakin cold they are. Must be nice...

    I don't know, my fiance is hot then cold then hot. She's like a little human heater sometimes. If she lays next to me when we sleep I wake up sweating because she like an oven.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Not all are, although I suppose a greater percentage are. I've always been warmer than most people and even moved to a cooler climate when I was able. :) I feel for you. Whenever I go somewhere I have to think about what I'm wearing. People who come to our house know to dress warmly. ;)

    :o I'm the same. I like the window open at all times (even in the winter)... my bf likes it closed... so I'VE compromised ;) by just keepin it open during the day... but I have to throw the duvet off me and still wake up boiling :o but he's quite happy having the duvet doubled on him cos he's freezing :confused:

    I'm either one extreme of the other - too hot or too cold. I'm never just comfortable :(
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    That's the other thing. I have learned to sleep without anything but the top sheet. She steals the rest of the covers.

    my husband says i do this, but i really don't do so b/c i want to be warm, i just like the feeling of being 'covered' for whatever reason. however, we just bought a new comforter, it is exactly the same manufacturer, style and weight of our previous comforter...and yet it is bigger...which is a good thing for the cover tug-of-war...but it is sooo much hotter! i am sure in the winter we will love it, but right now...ack! we still have the central a/c going when we are home!
    Stay with me...

    Yeah, I've noticed this. Guys always seem to be so much warmer! :eek:

    i thought it was horrible to make generalizations like that. not ALL men and women are like this goddamnit!

    my hands and feet are always icy. dont know what it is. but every girl i ever dated was way warmer. used to joke with my ex about how she had good body heat... sleeping next to her was like having an electric blanket.
    and like that... he's gone.

    It must be a male thing. My littlest son (4 yrs) got into bed with me the other night. It was like sleeping next to the radiator :eek: Every time I tried to inch away from him, he kept sneaking in next to me for a cuddle, and he was so cute I didn't have the heart to put him back in his own bed :o
    I got about 4 hours sleep that night.

    forget the sleep number bed, we need sleep number electric blankets, that allow you to choose the temp you like on your side of the bed

    obviously using language like 'most'...'many'...and most importantly 'that *I* observe'...makes it clear that it is NOT all, at all. :)


    and right now i am sitting at my desk, with my fan on. :)
    Stay with me...

    I am always freezing! I'm shivering right now and I have a thick sweater on. My hands and feet are always like ice cubes. I hate a/c. I can't wait for the hot flashes to begin!
    There's a light when my baby's in my arms :)

    my wife is always more cold than me.. but i do insist she wears no clothes in the house from the hours of 8pm-12am.
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    It's no coincidence the penis is shaped like a thermometer and reacts accordingly to temperature...

    My guess is more muscle mass.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
