more weight affects body temperature.
What is weight? It is a layer of fat covering not just your outer muscles, but also your inner organs. Fat is heavy. It's like having a blanket covering your entire body, the thickness of which can be measured with calipers. Considering that a) you are covered with a blanket of fat, and b) your muscles have to work harder just to move the rest of your body with this heavy blanket of fat... it's no wonder heavy people are warmer. In northern climates some people put on weight on purpose because it helps keep them warm. Animals do the same thing.
It's interesting that the temperature of your skin alone does not determine whether you feel cold or hot. It's your body's core temperature that is important. Blood at your skin cools off and returns beck to the core. Fat rewarms the cool blood, and it takes longer to feel cold. A skinny person has no insulation so the cold blood returns to the core and cools it off immediately.

Is white skinny jeans for men gay?
The color doesn't make them gay or not gay. And skinny jeans are not any more or less gay than any other pants. But skinny jeans are not for people who are not in shape or overweight. I do think white jeans look a little odd in cold, wet, dark, dreary climates, like Minnesota in Winter, tho.
Why do some people get cold more easy than others?
Here it truthfully is characteristic of the person. If a person is overweight with high blood pressure they will probably have often hot flashes. If a person is skinny with high blood pressure they may remain warm in most temperature variations. If a person is skinny with low blood pressure (due to healthy eating habits, genetics, etc.) they are more likely to find cold weather as "FREEZING" and warm weather as comfortable.

You could either be sick or very skinny. Skinny people don't have as much body fat to warm them compared to fat people. Either that or you grew up in a very hot environment and are used to the hotter temperatures.
