Or do guys generally just not get cold, like a long sleeve shirt is enough? I get cold easily, and many women are like “it’s cold, can I borrow your jacket?” And the guy will give it to her no problem. I never knew how guys don’t then get cold without the jacket lol.
Edit: I’m a woman

Sometimes, sure, but I want her to be comfortable. I won’t die.
They do, but they feel they have to meet the expectation.
We do get cold. We just keep it to ourselves.
Depends. I usually wear more layers.
Lmao okay so here’s the truth from a guy perspective, most of us do get cold, we’re just out here lying and suffering in silence for romantic reasons
Men get cold. Men don’t complain. Men think to themselves, “Fuck. It’s cold.”
No I’m always hot
That’s the sacrifice you make
yeah we get cold, but like, it’s worth it. i’m like a furnace all year round, and in the summer typically that closeness you only get in winter is more sporadic. i kinda prefer winter/spring for small things like this 😀
Can’t speak for most men but I run hot. My wife will be freezing and I am cooking to death. I think it has something to do with men normally being physically bigger than women and being bigger you produce more body heat. Or we just suck it up and be cold. WTF do I know haha.
Yeah I’m not giving up my jacket. She can either learn how to plan better or continue to suffer the cold.
I let them deal with the consequences of their actions. They get warmed up by the rage they feel when I decline to hand over my jacket.
I would rather her be warm. I can suffer until we get inside 🙂
I get warm inside by knowing I’m doing something for her. That feels more good than the cold outside feels bad.
That girls was really ‘cold’, so my jacket was useless.
That’s called chivalry.
We do but we dont put ourselves first we put her
So the way I see it is that I’m naturally warmer than my gf. So if I’m feeling chilly then she must be freezing. I’ll give her my jacket despite how cold I could be just because of that.
Yeah but I’m trying to get some. And usually my jacket will come back smelling good. So it’s a win win
Sure, but there’s a good chance you’ll get very warm later so I’m calling that a win
I wear a jacket solely because at some point, my wife or daughters will get cold, but they didn’t bring anything because….you know, it didn’t go with the outfit. I have a layer of blubber and a fur coat if I get cold =p
Ehh no I’m a warm blooded animal so usually if it’s like 60 ish degrees maybe 70 I can usually be fine if im on the move can it get chilly sure. But most of the women I’ve known in my life have been cold bloodied harpies. The second it drops below 80 they can’t seem to stand it.
No we get cold… that’s part of the point, we suffer for you
We do get cold, but it’s worth it to know that you’re now comfortable.
Pro tip: For the right woman, dealing with a bit of discomfort in order to make her happy/comfortable feels totally worth it.
How I feel is irrelevant to me, so long as she is warm.
I’ll never ask for it, because I assume he brought his jacket for himself, and I usually bring my own, too.
But it has happened that I started shivering and they just offered, which was kind. And then insisted that they weren’t cold. As long as they weren’t at risk of hypothermia, I gratefully accepted the gesture.
In the same vain, I’m usually the one with an umbrella to share for rain that no one anticipated but me, so…
Edit: forgot to say what an absolute pleasure it is, by the way, to wear a man’s jacket. Especially if it’s still warm from his body, and smells of his cologne and personal scent. They’re usually too big for me, so it feels very cherished, like he’s giving you a loving hug.
Its not a big deel. I want her to be comfortable. A bit of cold won’t hurt me
We do, but that’s less important
Yes. But I am willing to suffer for her to be comfortable.
Of course we get cold, man. But there are a few things going on here.
First off, a lot of the time we’re running hotter than you are. Men tend to have a higher metabolic rate and more muscle mass, which is like having your own personal furnace.So, a long-sleeve shirt might genuinely be enough for us in that moment.
But yeah, a lot of the time we do get cold. Here’s the thing though, it’s a trade-off.
It’s a protective instinct. It’s like a caveman thing deep in our brains that says “protect the tribe”. Giving up the jacket is a simple way to show we care and want to make her comfortable. It’s a gesture of affection.
It stops the complaining. Let’s be real, if she’s cold, you’re going to hear about it. Giving her the jacket is a quick and easy solution to that problem.
It’s just the “guy” thing to do. For a lot of us, it’s how we were raised. It’s an old-school chivalry move. It’s like holding the door open.
So yeah, we get cold. But usually worth it to see her warm and comfortable. It’s a simple, effective way to show you care. And honestly, a little shivering is a small price to pay.
That, or you can just pull a Kelso and say, “Damn Jackie, I can’t control the weather!”
We’re just toughing it out so that you think we’re generous and physically resilient
Well damn Jackie, I can’t control the weather!
Yes, sometimes I get cold. But when you love someone, you do nice things for them. There is a personal benefit here too though. When you love somebody that way they usually love you back.
I say “Well damn, Jackie, I can’t control the weather!!!!”
Next time just say: “damn Jackie I don’t control the weather”
Yeah, they do, but it’s just the expectation that men and boys are more willing to be uncomfortable if it means that they will make the woman or girl they are lending their overcoats to will be more comfortable and warmer than she was before he gave her his coat.
If I liked her, I wouldn’t mind. For that reason, I also wouldn’t just ask a guy if I could have his jacket, it’s really easy to read a lot into that.
Anyway, I throw off a lot of heat- I’m one of those guys who wears a T-shirt and no jacket in December, sometimes.
Yeah we get cold but we want you to be comfortable
When it’s your girlfriend you give her your coat because you’re a gentleman.
When it’s your wife you say “i told you six times it was going to be freezing, but NO, you didn’t want to bring a coat” and then you give it to her because you still don’t want her to be cold.
Yes but we grim and bear for the ladies
It is instilled on us that our suffering is less important than a woman’s, so we have to “deal with it”.
A wise man once told me, “Women need to be kept at.least 2 to 3 degrees above room temperature at all times.” Symptoms may include whining, shivering and a sudden irrational negative attitude. Combine this with hunger and you have a serious situation on your hands. Pay attention for the love of God.
Maybe, but probably less so.
Women tend to have less muscle mass, which is a natural heat producer, and slightly more body fat, which insulates the core but can restrict blood flow to the extremities, making them feel colder. They are often smaller than men, resulting in a higher skin surface area relative to their body volume, so they lose heat faster, and their hormone cycle is also a factor in raising and lowering their body temperature. Lastly, a woman is often wearing a less insulating base layer VS a man wearing trousers and a shirt.
Unless a man actively WANTS to kill off all remaining vestiges of the natural feminine and masculine gender roles, she really shouldn’t have to ask.
Girl + cold + me + not cold = no booty
Girl + not cold + me + cold = possibly booty
This is the equation used to determine whether or not we will give up our jacket.
It’s a weird system we have, that the person who needs more insulation (the smaller person), is the one that needs to show more skin to be dressed fashionably for a date.
Predictably, at some point she might want to borrow a jacket. Which gives the guy a chance to be a provider, and build the relationship.
She might even accidentally-on-purpose take it home, requiring a second meetup to return it.
As a guy, a good strategy is to dress warmly enough to be able to donate a jacket without suffering too much for it.
When you’re married for as long as I’ve been it gets even worse lol
“You should bring a jacket it’s gonna be cold”
“I’ll be okay”
“You’re gonna get cold”
“No I won’t”
…….
“Can I have your jacket…?”
“….. sure honey “
If I wouldn’t be cold without the jacket, I wouldn’t have brought it in the first place
Of course. But men’s feelings don’t matter.
I had a girl tell me that she was cold but I had no romantic interest in her so I told her, “Me too! I’m glad I brought my coat!” and just left it like that.
Is this a serious question?
So i usually beat my wife to it and say babe im freezing can i wear your cardigan
In these cases, there’s more going on than meets the eye. On a more subliminal level it’s about proving that you would be willing to suffer a bit for your lady. Do uncomfortable things for her. This is one of many subconscious tests by the females to check if a man is a suitable partner.
Well Damn Jackie, I Can’t Control the Weather
One of the primal roles of the male is protection. We evolved to endure hardships so others don’t. Yes, you get cold and you suck it up. If it’s too cold you get to someplace warm.
And next time you go out you remind her to not forget her jacket 😂
Im a woman who loves cold, i can offer him my jacket, easily
No, because I have a jacket and she doesn’t.
Well it’s basically a guy saying it’s worth being cold to get laid
I’m in south Florida. I never get asked that question. And, what’s a jacket?
I simply tell my wife: you should have brought your jacket then.
Yes, we get cold. That’s why it’s a significant gesture when we give you our coat. So start bringing your own jackets like grownups, please.
They do get cold, that’s why we have jackets in the first place. XD
That’s chivalry for you.
If we’re considered equal in all aspects — I don’t give you my jacket.
If we accept that men and women are different in some aspects; yes, I give you the jacket out of curtesy because I can handle the cold. Not saying that I ain’t feeling it, but I’m accepting the cold because it’s the chivalrous thing to do.
It’s the same thing with giving up your seat.
My favorite part is dressing appropriately for the weather/occasion then watching her put on just enough not to be arrested
I think it’s one of those things that can be cute/endearing when first dating. Gives the guy a chance to be a little chivalrous. But after a while it can get real old.
Like, it’s bad manners to never bring a jacket and then expect someone else to offer you theirs.
And if it repeats a lot I’d just think “damn this person is either super forgetful, or doesn’t care about other peoples comfort”. Like “is your outfit more important than us both being comfy?”
But I guess one way around it would be to bring two jackets/hoodies if you want to be chivalrous AND comfortable.
That said, I only date men, or man (my fiance), so I’ve seldom come across this phenomenon in the wild.
