    I’ll say this for the thick girls, they’re cool on the outside and don’t bitch about freezing. Meanwhile, my 95lb. wife, permanently frozen and shedding heat like a hummingbird.

    First thing in the morning, sweating my ass off, legs glued together…

    “Babe! Let me embrace you!”

    "Get OFF! pant, pant, pant

        Well, fat is insulant, so it helps to keep the heat energy inside the body. Fat, therefore, also provides some protection against cold. On the other hand, if you live in areas with higher ambient temperature, it is more comfortable to be able to exhaust that heat, instead of storing it.

        So, yes, it is a feature?

            And I meant, that as fat has insulating properties, the lack of fat, ergo “tiny body” does not have insulating properties. Thus, a tiny body exhausts more heat, and therefore 1) feel cold more easily and 2) heats the surrounding area.

            So yes, tiny bodytype tends to exhaust heat under a blanket.
