No idea. I just assumed they had lower (normal) body temp because I’m a fat alcoholic.

The comforting psychology of groupthink.

I know a lot of people - not just teens - who wear long sleeves in summer. It's not "groupthink" it's because a lot of places crank up the AC. So you can get chilly if you are spending time indoors

I see a lot of black guys around here wearing hoodies with the hoods up in blistering heat....I don't get it.

Deep pockets hide your stash.

When they go robbing white peoples, they pull the hood why down on their face. All the white people see is a Black guy in a hoodie. Then, they switch hoodies to breathe in the "other guys hot sweaty body funk"& jerk each other off in the alleyways and nutt on each other.

R4 long sleeves is not uncommon, a lot jobs require you to dress properly (long sleeves, tie, jacket).

Maybe they don't want to age into a prematurely freckled and wrinkled hippo like you are, OP.

And in the winter you see them wearing shorts.

I wear long sleeve linen shirts because I don't want the farmer's tan on my arms.

I remember in my college years seeing so many who would wear hoodies (with the hood up), all day, no matter the weather - hot or cold. And yet, with those hoodies, wear shorts and flip flops - hot or cold. LOL!

Who cares? It's a mascular look and I'm all for it. Yummers!

In intense heat. Wearing long baggy clothing makes more sense in keeping the body cooler. Wearing shorts, sandals and tank tops don't protect you from UV rays. On the other hand, I've seen young white and Asian guys wear shorts in the winter which makes no sense.
