It's very humid here. If anything sweat would be more visible since

Sure, but if they liked them, they wouldn't vacation to warm climates so

You've snipped the context so I still don't know what you're on about.

I will bare witness to my wife's behavior. She has a slight blood
sugar problem and "religiously" does more the 5 km a day walking
to burn off the glucose. She is thin and tall for her weight.
She also was born in California in the 1930s before air conditioning
and lived in the Central Valley. So "hot" she knows. Her preferred
temperature is around 30-32°C, and does not complain until it gets
below 20. She did not complain during the heat wave a year
ago, even at 40. Since we have been married 49 years I don't second
guess her on her weather preferences nor do I complain if I find
it hot. I have adapted to her standards. Of course I too showed
up in California in the 1930s (migrating from Chicago) so
I too adapted to the pre-air conditioning era.
She has her limit, however and her year in Houston before
air conditioning was it.
For me the Paris climate is OK most of the year. But my
chronic bronchitis acts up when it gets down near zero
and is close to be life threatening. I did not find the
canicule last year life threatening. It was actually
relatively pleasant.

CP has some pathological condition and I have noticed it getting

It might be an age thing. When somebody is as psychotic as
he is, one can not say it is his "true colors". Something
is twisted in his personality.
The best thing is to stay clear of people who are
psycho-toxic. One risks infection.

Unless the temperature is around 28°, I always wear a jacket when I go out.
I am 5'7" tall, and weigh 116 pounds. I walk 5 km per day.

I've filtered out everything from the Capitalist Porker, but my
success at ignoring his existence is being limited by the number
of posters who insist on responding to his trolls and re-quoting
him in the process.
Please, folks, ignore him, and others of his ilk.

No Earl, I just don't like your socialist expatriate anti-American self and
your inane drivel. Its no wonder that your supporters are perennial losers
and include Patraig Badbreath, Tom Bellhouse, whose fascination human
excrement knows no bounds, and Magda, a bitter lesbian who offers nothing
except institutional criticism.

You should understand that folks will vacation to relieve their usual
existence. Folks in cold climates take winter vacations where it is
warm. Folks in warm climates take summer vacations where it is cool.

Sure, sometimes, but you see a lot more of the former than the latter. The
argument could be made that people in warm climates are less likely to have
enough money to travel far enough to experience significantly different
weather, but even among the tropical rich it's a rare thing to make a winter
visit to Chicago.

It is just funny how outdoor temperatures can be so bloody important to
you during a vacation. Well, those travelling in Europe typically don't
give much thought for it.

Reminds me of a story about trying to convert Eskimos to Christianity

"Sounds great" said the Eskimos.
So the salesmen had to change hell to a cold place.
