What’s wrong with loving putting on snuggly warm clothing in winter? Not to mention that I love both warm inside and cold outside in winter.
When I was a child, I loved snow. The adults told me that when I had to start shoveling the walkway and driveway, my love would fade. It did not.
Then I was told that when I learned to drive, I would hate it. First snowstorm after I got my license, I instantly headed out to an empty parking lot to practice donuts. I’ve been caught in sudden storms and watched other cars slide off the road. I still love snow.
Then I was told that when I got a job and had to support a family that I’d hate snow. Yet this has come to pass, and I still squee like a child when snow starts. I long to take walks in it. I dream of sledding, or building snowmen, or throwing snowballs, even in my middle age, even if I can no longer run as I used to.
No, you will never take my love of winter from me. Summer heat, get thee behind me.
I hate driving in the snow and rain, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the weather.
practice donuts
I believe you’re looking for the words “whipping shitties”
Shitty take. It’s like: People be like: I love summer and then stay inside in the A/C.
Or in a pool. Smh
I stand by the original statement - I love winter! If some people can’t handle it, too bad.
Gatekeeping people’s enjoyment is shitty behavior.
Calling people out for hypocrisy is proper behaviour.
It’s not hypocrisy to enjoy a cozy blanket and a hot beverage any time of the year. It just turns out that winter is a lot more enjoyable time to enjoy those than summer!
It doesn’t rally have anything to do with the winter, so yeah, kinda is. Unless you’re outside first, then coming in for that cozy feeling, them why would it matter if it was winter or not?
Does your house not get cold in the winter? We have winter bedding because the bedroom doesn’t get above 60F in the winter and below 80F in the summer.
Not really no. We have district heating, plus my computer runs quite often. I have the same cover/bedding year around. That and we have properly isolated houses, since it does get cold outside. It does backfire a bit during summer though. Especially nowadays. Most people install air conditioners now, which was unheard of 20 years ago.
Makes sense, you’ve gotta be pretty bougie to think a heated blanket is hypocrisy.
Edit: it’s currently 2C outside and I just turned the space heater off because it’s starting to smell funny.
It’s not about the blanket though is it?
For the same reason it isn’t “winter” year round inside a freezer.
It’s a time of year, with all the changes in weather, climate, and home maintenance that come along with that. Not a temperature.
Loving something through a window isn’t hypocrisy.
If you say so. Sounds pretty accurate if you ask me. But then again, i really do like the winter and being outside.
I mean, loving something from the same room (or space) isn’t hypocrisy, either.
People can like the same thing, for different reasons. Someone elses mode of enjoyment differing from yours doesn’t make them a hypocrite.
Saying they like something that they don’t actually like, does.
Yes. But that’s not a retort. You’re assuming you can tell whether someone is genuine based on how they enjoy the same thing you do.
You’re either desperate to get the last word in, or legitimately obtuse.
I could rephrase one more time, but you’re clearly either unwilling or incapable of understanding what I’m saying.
I could say the same about you.
people be like “I love the world!” from the surface of a planet with an atmosphere and in the golden zone of warmth of their star. No. Go outside and let’s see
I think it’s just good natured tomfoolery
I went on a hike this weekend in -7F. And last week I had ice cream outside in 13F.
Also hot chocolate tastes 10x+ better when you’ve been out in the cold.
The trick is you have to be out there for at least 20 minutes to acclimate. Otherwise it just hurts a little and then you get hot when you go back inside.

❌ hot girl summer
✅ cold bitch winter
As an adult I loved winter still. I could be outside, do stuff without suffering heart stroke, and I loved running in the snow with my trail running shoes for 13+ miles.
I now live in the southwest and man so I miss winter.
If you judge by that logic, then you gotta be the type to have no favourite seasons at all.
I mean, according to your logic, if you say you like summer, then you gotta first go outside and get under the hot sun and if you don’t like being under the hot sun, then you don’t like summer. Same logic applies to other seasons too, huh? Man, your logic is ridiculous IMO
You can only be cozy in the cold weather, plus you can wear a coat if it’s cold but you can’t wear an anti-coat if it’s hot. When I was too young to fully understand seasons I used to have nightmares about it suddenly becoming summer because it’s just such an awful time of year
This is a large part of the winter appeal for me. Dressing for winter is easier then for very hot weather. Although I do use a wide brimmed hat for heat now, it’s like a tiny free cooler!
I still get panicked about summer, or even the thought of tolerating that hell of a season. Mainly it’s because it has been a pain in the ASS to keep my house comfortably cold or to even have and maintain an air conditioner. It’s expensive, and if the heat gets over a certain threshold, swamp coolers and air conditioners become ineffective at a certain point. It’s legitimately scary. I don’t want to boil alive or die of heat stroke. One power outage in the summertime could mean you’re completely fucked. I wish more people treated summer and climate change as more of a threat to life.
you can’t wear an anti-coat if it’s hot.
There are all kinds of active and passive cooling suits.
If you find an army-looking one, you can be truly tacticool.
They’re powered and still aren’t nearly as effective as a sweater, let alone a coat.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
At least winter is comfortable inside. Summers get so warm now that there’s often no escape from the heat. Where I live AC used to be completely unnecessary so rental apartments with AC basically don’t exist.
And as someone with a delayed circadian rhythm I also hate daylight saving time. I don’t want to get up an hour earlier every day. Why do morning people get to force their lifestyle on us?
I fucking love me a proper snowy winter. Ideally the temperature should drop below -20 at least a couple times, for that crispy cold-bite feeling. Cross-country skiing, ice skating, winter hiking, or just doing a winter BBQ in the snow, sign me up
50cm of snow outside. Walking is only option to go anywhere. Even if its a longer walk to take side streets, its a nice walk to have once a year. Going to the beaches in the south next week, and the escape great too, but fresh snow on a quiet walk is an awesome experience.
I wouldn’t say I liked last Friday in Minneapolis, but it was worth it. (TLDR: 50K protesters against ICE presence in -25°F/-30°C windchill)
