Me and the fiance we always fight about the A/C or dehumidifier. For me coming from central Europe, as soon as the humidity goes over 65% I’m sweaty and hot and can’t get dry, I hate it. She as a Korean seems never to sweat at all and even when the humidity is at 80% she seems to have no problems and thinks running the A/C is a waste of money.
During the raining season I suffer a lot, not being able to sleep, constantly wet underwear, sweaty hair, sweaty chest and back, etc.
She on the other side would rather open the window to cool down when it’s raining outside and doesn’t mind that the humidity at home will skyrocket.
Is genetics involved here or just that different people are comfortable with different humidity?
I don’t have the study to back this up, but personally for me it has a lot to do with how heavy I am. When I’ve been thinner I’ve been much more tolerant of humidity and heat.
There might be something to it, it would much my and my fiance too, she is normal weight and I’m quite overweight.
