As a Certified Human Furnace, I've always been popular with the warmth-deficient ladies. Not romantically (because I'm a bit of a Super Dork), but those high school football games netted me plenty of "Hey! You're always running hot and that has been scientifically proven to spike your odds of an early death but I don't care about that right now because it's a chilly October night in northern Minnesota! Hold me!" hugs. An awkward teen will accept any kind of female touch he can.

Is "Minnesota Hot" a real thing? Yes! But not in the way you're hoping...

Midwestern Gen-X Women Are Literally 'The Hottest' in Bed

Here's the confession of subterfuge: we're talking 'literal', not 'hey now!'.

A poll asked women if they felt too hot or too cold in bed...when sleeping. Nearly half of Midwestern Generation X women (45-64) said 'too hot'...which means that Midwestern Gen X women are the hottest in bed! Technically...

If you're looking for a woman to match your cold heart, you'll want a young adult (ADULT!) from the Northeast.

What About the Men?

Men of all age groups were most likely to answer 'neither too hot nor too cold'. We're all Goldilocks about our sleep temps.

What About Other Regions?

Overall, Midwesterners are the hottest.

Southerners and Westerners are either too hot or neither.

A lot of folks from all of the regions aren't sure. Maybe the poll should've asked their partners.

You Know You're From the Midwest If You Say These Things

Many of these sayings may not make sense to most. But, to a Midwesterner, no explanation is needed.
