The moment you step foot outside in Florida, you are commiting to taking a shower once you’re back inside. It could be for 2 minutes. You are now a sweaty hog. Your underwear is soaked and anything else you’re wearing is moist. You also brought at least one mosquito in with you which won’t reveal itself until you go to bed.
Come down here during the late fall/winter and it’s great. It feels like a nice spring day. I’m originally from NJ and it always makes me laugh when it’s like January and I see people walking around with coats on and I’m walking around in shorts and a T-shirt. I remember one day in December after my dance class I walked outside with a few people and said “damn, it feels great out here” and the girl gave me the “WTF is wrong with you?” look because she was freezing 😂
Facts. I take between 2 and 4 showers a day (most are just to wash the dried sweat off, no soap necessary unless I reek).
I’m originally from South Jersey where it gets humid as fuck for about two months out of the year with the occasional reprieve, so I’m used to it being hot as fuck. Before I moved down here, my friend and I spent 2 weeks down here in South Florida in August to see if I could stand it at its worst. I lasted a day wearing my typical summer clothes (khaki shorts and a cotton T-shirt, I’m a dude). The rest of the time was spent freeballing in basketball shorts and three tank tops that I bought and was still drenched every day.
I’ve been down here since October and freeballing in basketball shorts (or linen shorts) and wearing mesh or linen shirts are the only things I wear outside between May and October. Two days ago I went outside for a 10 minute walk and was drenched within a few minutes. Yesterday I went out for a long walk and before I went out I soaked a mesh T-shirt in cold water to see if it would help keep me cool. It didn’t.

You make it sound like a vacation paradise
It’s not.
