    I mean, loving something from the same room (or space) isn’t hypocrisy, either.

    People can like the same thing, for different reasons. Someone elses mode of enjoyment differing from yours doesn’t make them a hypocrite.

        Yes. But that’s not a retort. You’re assuming you can tell whether someone is genuine based on how they enjoy the same thing you do.

        You’re either desperate to get the last word in, or legitimately obtuse.

        I could rephrase one more time, but you’re clearly either unwilling or incapable of understanding what I’m saying.

            You haven’t actually elaborated, though.

            You’ve just repeated that way the way YOU like it, is the REAL way.

              If you say you like the winter, but you don’t like the winter, what would you call it other than hypocrisy?

                Sure. But you can’t make that conclusion.

                You can’t use whether someone likes being outside during it, to tell whether they like winter. It’s a time of year, not an activity.

                    How is the activity relevant?

                    Are you sure you enjoy winter? Maybe you just like going outside. No winter “needed” for that.

                    And before you say “I like being outside during/because it’s winter” the exact same sentence works for people who “like being cozy indoors during/because it’s winter”.

                    The latter is not possible in the summer, the way it isn’t possibly for you to enjoy “winter” in the summer by walking into a refrigerated hockey hall. It’s not winter.

                    Because it’s a time of year, not an activity or even a set of conditions.

                    Different people enjoy the same thing for different reasons. That doesn’t make them dishonest or hypocritical.
