why does my nordic wife run hot, while my african ass runs cold, in the exact same conditions?

I think its lifestyle associated. I, sample size of 1, am physically always very active, consequentially on a correspondingky high caloric diet and in my peer group, that is mostly ethnically homogenous, I always stick out as the guy wearing inappropiately light clothing, soaked tshirts and shorts in the rain when its around freezing for example. It dries quicker once I get inside.
My peers are motorists for example, constantly freezing, always borderline obese despite starving and so on.

This tracks my previous experiences, to be fair. So you're saying the more active i am, the more i'll withstand colder temperatures? Is it cumulative or will a sudden change do it?

phenotype is result of genetics + envrionment

It may also be due to the fact I don't use heating. But yes it is what I am sayimg and I have a suspicion there is an achte and a chronic effect. In the winter when going to sleep and especially when getting up in the morning I do feel cold. After I've been on the bike for almost an hour to get to uni or work I'm uncomfortably warm no matter what. As time goes by this wears off but probably down to a floor level that is higher than it is for the sedentary fucks. This would be what I imagine to be the chronic component but it could be genetic or something else entirely.
I've gotten injured recently which changed alot of patterns and already I felt cold more often and wore clothing I never wear, that is despire living on the northern hemisphere where it's currently plenty warm IMO.
Long story short: Yes. I suspect your activity level raises your baseline metabolic rate. Besides this being active means that you'll always be feeling some of the acute effects of activity thoughout your waking hours.
Purely speculative. But I believe to have seen studies corroborating the concept of increases of baseline metabolic rate through regular and intense activity.

I wish we had counter current heat exchange vein and artery layout, but humans have con current heat exchange. That's the reason we get cold easily despite our size and get frostbite, but something like a dog is for the most part impervious to frostbite.
Winters would be a whole lot more comfortable without having to add more clothing

>Do people gain and lose heat at different rates?
yes, body shapes matter.
Tall and skinny = heat loss. Equatorial people tend to be skinny.
Short and stocky = heat retaining. Northern people tend to be stocky.
