Women and the phrase 'It's FREEZING'

[SuperBaaaad]

[rant]Why do women use this phrase ALL the time. The slightest breeze, sub 20-degree temperature or bit of shade and 'It's FREEZING/I'm FREEZING' comes leaping out.

Why? I see no ice or snow! It might be chilly, nippy or even god forbid, cold, but it's hardly fking FREEZING now is it? I can't sit all day with frosty the snowman happy as larry next to me, frozen sausages the same at 5pm as they were at 9am can I? I could if it actually WAS freezing.

So they turn the thermostat to max. Ten minutes later, they open the windows to "get some air".
I agree, odd creatures aren't they ?

[zakelwe]

They are actually from a different planet, one with lakes of lava just running below the crust, hence why their feet are always cold.

The first word of your thread, and I knew this would end up with no answer.

Woman = ?????

[kit_kat]

Guilty as charged. I always say it, when I saw the title I thought it was my O/H posting!

Time of the month?

Nope, all the time. Mine is either "freezing" and trying to worm her feet into my socks, or too hot to even contemplate moving some of the duvet off her.

Yes, in the winter I wear socks in bed. I'm 6'8" and my feet stick over the end of the bed. When I can afford a bigger bed, and a bigger house to put it in, I will stop this hugely un-sexy practice.

It is cold most of the time.

Some of us are sensible enough to wrap up (and still feel freezing).

Why are you men always too warm, opening windows and making us poor women freeze?
Go put some ice in your pants.

There we go again, below 0°C was it?!

Actually I know what you mean. My other half always sits watching TV with a cover round her, whatever the time of year.

Girls can always put more clothes on and jump around to warm up. (It's better if they jump around to warm up then put clothes on though.)

There comes a time when we can't take any more off to cool down though. (Depends on whether we have people round as to how far I can go.)

Also, if I'm too hot, I leave sweaty marks everywhere, if a girl is to cold, this isn't normally the case because they always seem to find a grotty old Kleenex from somewhere to wipe their nose on. (Never to blow it though, God forbid they clear out the snot.)

How many more stereotypes can we hit this morning?

And the classic is why do they use the reverse procedure in the car? Crank it down to zero and moan about 'its too hot'

I turned the heating off at the weekend. The back of our house is south facing so the bathroom, back bedroom, dining room and kitchen were sweltering. I'm talking tropical conditions. Even the cat had to move to the front of the house and she generally likes basking in the sun.

I noticed it had magically turned iteself back on Monday morning

[Jasandjules]

It's common enough, my OH is often "cold" in the house whilst I am thinking it's quite hot. Women appear to feel the cold more than men, I assume this is from our Darwinism and the woman staying at home near the fire to look after the kids and sort out the food whilst the man goes out into the cold/wet weather and hunts.

I know it is sexist, but I still find that in most couples (as in the different sex couples) you talk to the woman always moans she is cold and the man is always hot. The woman is usually found hovering by the thermostat...

[Saddle bum]

In the car, the OH always dresses for the outside despite the climate control which keeps the temp constant.

She then opens a window in winter and in summer says, "Its freezing" when the air con is going full blast.

Illogical, Captain.

Is 'the mental' as a reply a bannable offence yet? I've fallen behind with the latest 335d/folded back seats...

One of the sales staff has literally just walked passed me and said, 'It's freezing.' Then asked what I was laughing at!
