I was raised on the high plains and Rockies with no AC. No problems.

Then my dad moved us kicking and screaming to the Ozarks with it’s high humidity. Thought I was gonna die! No AC in the Ozarks for ten long years!

We had several workers transfer to our plant from Montana and North Dakota. They didn’t last too long as they could not take the heat! Temp wise it was no hotter than Montana, but the humidity made everything feel like it was 20 degrees hotter than it really was.

In addition to the clothing issue, its just a fact that on average men have higher metabolisms than women, hence they get hot easier. It’s usually always cold at my office but I deal with it by always having a sweater (and sometimes a blanket) in my cubicle. It’s not the end of the world, folks.

I remember reading about an air-conditioned office full of women who complained the place was always too hot. The repairmen were constantly called in to check the equipment, which always was shown to be working properly.

When the next call came in, they sent a rookie repairman over as they were tired of this routine. After his visit the calls stopped coming in - the women said that whatever the kid did, he made the the place MUCH cooler.

Puzzled, the A/C guys asked the rookie what the problem was. He said that he couldn’t find any problem either and was afraid he’d be fired. In desperation he went out and got some thin paper streamers and attached them to the vents.

When the A/C kicked in, and the women saw the streamers fluttering so enticingly, they just KNEW the place was cooling off, proving once again that “perception is reality”.

You forgot about an important segment of the population that deeply appreciates air conditioning: menopausal women.

Many women like to show “skin” and wear clothing & accessories which accentuate those more ‘interesting’ areas of their anatomy.

Then they become irritated (supposedly) that men “stare at my (fill in the blanks) never look me in the eyes and view us as sex objects”.

I'll explain it. Women dress that way to try to attract men THEY want. You and I are not on that list. Any indication of attraction from men they don't find attractive is "creepy", and is sexual harassment.

I can’t sleep unless it is cold. My poor husband goes to bed geared up for frost. It is so kind of him to put up with my need without complaint. He luvs me. : )

I get it! I was born and raised in Houston (1940) long before a/c was available to regular people. We had no idea how miserable we were.

My husband and I married and moved to Conn. And then to Virginia. When we moved back to Houston my parents had gotten window a/c units.
Wow, what a difference!

I don’t remember when we got an a/c car but that was amazing.

I still want the angled vent windows back in the front seats of my car.

The first air conditioned car I rode in was my uncle's 1970 Cadillac. Since then I wondered how we made do within it ;)

Carmakers started phasing them out by the late 60’s. In fact the only Camaros and Firebirds to have side window vents were the 67’s, first year of production.

I think designers thought the car looked better without them and anti-smokers knew that people flicked ashes out their exhaust side.

Right, the vent windows are the easiest way to tell a 67 from a 68 Camaro.

That plus the 68’s had the side markers. The 69’s looked very similar to the 68’s on the outside but the dash was redesigned and the ignition switch was on the steering column.
