Florida checking in: it's good for your skin! I don't like getting sweaty in the 10seconds it takes to walk to my truck, but i prefer it over everything else.
Do you get sunburns in Florida, or does the sweaty humidity prevent it?
Can confirm humidity doesn't help. Salt water drying on your skin can also make it worse, just a fun fact, so rinse off as often as you can when leaving the water to help prevent it.
Also these people are insane. I'll take a dry heat over humidity I can't hardly breathe through any day. Sweat exists for a reason, humidity won't let you benefit from it.
I'm with you OP. I live in New England which admittedly doesn't have terrible humidity but whenever I go to Vegas there's always some local that that latches on to a humidity argument. We get to talking about how hot Vegas is vs New England and they without fail always say "oh but you have to deal with all that humidity, we've got a nice dry heat." It's like they don't understand how fucking insane that sounds, 115F does not feel better that 60-80% humidity at 80F unless you're a damn lizard.
Here’s a weird one. If I get in my car and it’s hot I will sometimes just sit there and stew in it for a couple of minutes.
Thawing.
This is so much worse than OP.
