Why are some people colder than others
"Most people think the average human temperature is 98.6 degrees, but the truth is that different people have different 'normal' temperatures."

So THAT's why women's feet and hands are always cold! Why they are slaves to their hormones
"My health complaint is starting to affect my love life."

Why Do Women Often Feel Colder Than Men?
"Let the battle of the thermostat begin. Now that the evenings have grown dark and chilly, most people have switched on their central heating."

Do Fat People Stay Warmer in Cold Weather Than Thin People?
"There may be a reason that Santa, who spends most of his time toiling away at his freezing North Pole workshop or traversing the globe in an open-air sled, is a little on the rotund side."

Warm and Cold-Blooded
"With a few exceptions, all mammals and birds are warm-blooded, and all reptiles, insects, arachnids, amphibians and fish are cold-blooded. What does it mean to be warm-blooded or cold-blooded? The temperature of an animal's blood is related to its body temperature."

I thought my grandma was just a vampire. Is always cold, hates garlic, burns in the sun.

For me it's like the temperature is constantly changing from cold to hot. It can never just settle at an average room temperature.

[SpiralBreeze]

2.don't work out much
3.feel lonely/am usually isolated from others.

If it's under 80 f, it's cold to me.

As someone with a long family history of Raynaud's syndrome (every female on my moms side has had it), I can tell you that I'm always cold. Look it up. If you're always cold spite being a physically active and healthy person, you may also have it. It basically means you have terrible circulation in your extremities by genetic default. It also means that lucky people like me are more susceptible to things like hypothermia or heat stroke. Yay.

I never feel cold, I once went hunting for about five hours during a winter storm, and I only wore a sweatshirt. I don't know why, but I never get cold. I actually overheat, I cannot stand tropical climates.

Iodine deficiency. It's closely related to the thyroid and one of the signs/symptoms is low tolerance to cold. Since supplementing with iodine I barely feel the cold in the winter. I used to start feeling cold around 20˚C (68˚F), now I usually wear t-shirts till it gets to below 10˚C (50˚F)

Women are always cold except when pregnant and going through menopause. In those stages they have hot flashes. Being cold all the time caught up with them.

[Werevampiwolf]

When I get my temperature taken (even by doctors), I tend to average about 96.5 degrees. When I feel like I have a fever, I'm often around 98.5. Interestingly, both my father and I usually feel hot, and my mother and sister are usually cold.

I always wondered if feeling lonely made you feel cold, and I finally have my answer. Thanks Dnews!

Men have more muscle than women? I'm triggered

[Lkonae]

I identify as male yet I'm colder than most people. I am triggered.

[gissylife]

Also, more women have hypothyroidism, which a symptom is, making you feel colder.

I am always as cold as I can get. I can't stand heat, so I always keep my window open, even during the winter.

Probably because I'm naturally hot. To the point where I cannot, for the life of me, understand why people go to southern countries.

Oh, and by the way, I live in the Finnmark area. Geographically, that's about as far north as you can get in Europe without going to Siberia.
