I know people who can stand dry heat easily but can't stand humidity and vice-versa. I personally have gotten used to humidity but dry heat still annoys the crap out of me.

I'm not a fan of heat, to be quite honest, and a kitchen is about the max I can stand normally. Having to deal with it outdoors is something I try to avoid as much as humanly possible. It's why I plan to live somewhere a bit up north when I finish up school and find steady work. I won't cut Canada out of the running quite yet, but that's a bit too far north for my tastes.


I grew up around heat all my life, so cold is what I truly can't stand. I can stand inside a furnace and still be relatively ok.

Thing about dry heat is it doesn't make you sweat much. When I went to Miami everytime I woke up It's like being wrapped in hot wet towels


This is incorrect. Very, very incorrect. The thing is, the more humid it is, the hotter it feels, and because of the moisture in the air, you sweat less, leading to it feeling hotter still. In dry heat, you're able to sweat more, allowing more evaporation of sweat on the skin which leads to more release of heat from the body. So yeah, "dry heat" feels cooler because you sweat more.

Just like your soul.

Last week here in Chicago it was sunny, then it snowed, then it was sunny, then it rained, then there was a bit of hail, then it was sunny again.

Don't worry bro, I forget I'm a mod sometimes too. That said, I'm still in this state of like, giddiness from how well things have been going between us. I feel there's a real chance for a relationship if I don't fuck things up. I mean, she's already talked about scheduling so we take class together and even talked about living together (same dorm room, or if we both get jobs, possibly renting an apartment).


Do NOT live with her. Don't you fucking dare you beautiful virgin sugar daddy. Schedule classes? fine. See each other every couple days? Great! But the SECOND you decide to move in with another person, that's almost the biggest step you can take in a relationship (outside of maybe sex, but that's debatable), so doing that too fast fucks shit up real quick. So definitely listen to my boi cook.

I live in a port city as well. Dry heat is the worst.

A couple months ago the weather was actually decent, a bit cold even. I couldn't fucking stand it. It was like 19 degrees C and I had to wear 2-3 layers otherwise I was uncomfortable. I'm kinda skinny too which doesn't help at all.

I hope you mean this in that I've never been a sugar daddy before, because then it's 100% true.

I like to think I'm pretty confident about it. That said, I'm doing my very best to not rush things. We've known each other all of about two and a half months. Moving that far that fast is insane, and that's putting it very, very lightly.

I've seen this happen often. Too often. Far too often. I won't say much on the subject, but be careful, be sensible. Enjoy life but don't let yourself be sucked into promises of long term happiness. Make the house of cards, enjoy the spectacle for as long as you can make it last, but be fully aware that it could come crashing down at any time.

Girlfriends are like illnesses. Everyone gets one from time to time, sometimes they'll last a week, whilst others will be stuck with you forever and slowly drain you away, and you're likely to catch other diseases if you have one. Some of them are also known to spread.

Haha it ain't no drain, it just adds another level to things. There will always be guaranteed rough patches (whats life without ups and downs) but in general its a huge boost in happiness and wellbeing.
Unless you have a habit of scrounging around in the rough knocking aside the diamonds.
