Are you naturally always hot or always cold? Do you prefer the weather one way or the other?

I'm always cold except when I'm running and then I'm hot and sweat like a pig. My ideal would be 35 while I'm running and then 90 the rest of the day. Lol

I just hate hate hate being cold!!
 
I am one confused body. My head is usually baking hot (I actually have a little fan on my desk) and my feet are like ice cubes...(yep, a small heater on the floor)!
I do not like being cold, I love the summer, hot hot hot, over 100 and I am smiling!
 
It varies for me, I go from hot to cold and back again at various times throughout the day LOL

I like it warm, not hot, and I hate the cold!

Sometimes I sit here scrapping with fingerless gloves on, as my hands feel the cold a lot!!
 
I'm almost always cold.

I don't like it hot either, though. 75-80 would be perfect for me.

We get both extremes here and I don't love it.

That is too funny! My DH and I joke about my "mouse hand" - that hand is always freezing!
 
I'm always cold...but that could have a lot to do with DH thinking that an ideal indoor temperature is around 40 (no it's not really that cold in here but he'd be happy if it was). He seriously tries to freeze me out.
 
I'm usually cold. DH is always hot. So...we each sneak over to the thermostat to change the temp to what we want. And we hope the other doesn't notice. :whistle
Last night (he had the heat set to just 68!), I walked down the hallway to put a few things away, and DH yells out "Don't touch the thermostat!" I did, though. I set it to 70. lol
When I'm pregnant, though, I'm HOT. I actually planned my second pregnancy so that I wouldn't be too pregnant in the summer here in TX. I can't imagine being 9m preggo in August here. I'd never leave my (air-conditioned) house!
 
I'm usually cold. My hands and feet are ALWAYS freezing!!

Except when I am pregnant....those boys were little furnaces!!

I'm usually really cold OR really hot. I have terrible circulation, so I don't regulate temperature well. I'd prefer to be cold vs. hot since you can always put layers on, but it's illegal (and terrifying) to take them off.
 
I am almost always hot!! I love to snuggle up under a blanket to watch tv or read a book, love to wear cozy sweaters and boots, but it has to be pretty cool for me to be able to do that and not suffocate to death.

We actually keep our house most days at 68 and at night turn it down to 66. I would feel like I am suffocating at 70--I have this thing about feeling like there is hot air blowing in my face when it is too warm.

I do love when I can open up the windows in the house and get fresh air though. So I like it to be mild weather in the summer, and decently cold in the winter! :)
 
I'll take hot, humid Maryland summers over cold weather any day. And to me, anything under 55 is cold.

Brrr! I would freeze to death. In the winter I keep my house around 73/74. :giggle
 
I am always cold. I wear fingerless gloves 80% of the time (pretty much unless I'm cooking, eating, or doing dishes) during fall, winter, and spring. In the summer I do hate to get too hot, but it takes a lot to get me uncomfortable.
 
My thermostat is broken or at least that's what hubby says all the time. I am ALWAYS COLD, but 55F in April is HOT for me.
 
When I'm at work, I run hot. It was 21 degrees outside today and I was hot in my classroom, which runs between 74-76 degrees during the day. I have no control over that; it's all computerized. I wear a short sleeve top almost every day when I'm working, regardless of the temp outside. I hate being hot and sweaty so I dress to keep myself cool.

At home, we keep it around 68-70 degrees during the day, 64 at night. I would rather wrap myself up in blankets (as I am right now) than deal with heat. I hate summer. We keep it at 82 during the day and 78 at night and I HATE it. Can't sleep, can't get comfortable... hate it.

As much as I hate being cold, I hate feeling "suffocated" like that, too. :) Our house is old and not well insulated (and the windows are like 50 years old, at least), so even if it's set at 70 degrees, the bedrooms are about 65 degrees. So stinking annoying. When we buy a house (we rent now), I am SO making sure it's energy efficient!
