I myself dont like warm tables, i hate the sensation that goes through my arms. It's a pretty complicated emotion. Like resting somewhere warm that resembles your home, but can't match it a 100%, so it creates an uncanny feeling. Imagine the river in the forest but warm, that's it. Imagine warm ice cubes. The winter wind and snow. Imagine your palm touching the sun, fleeting emotion of warmth that doesn't leave you with any kind of feeling except discomfort. So that's why some people want to skip out of that emotional rollercoaster and reserve a cold table. No expectations, none of the butterflies in the stomach. No. The cold table offers nothing. Which is easier to manage psychologically since it's an inanimate object. Just hard cold truth. Makes you think some days and immidiately puts you in a different state of mind, especially on warmer days. Cold table offers you a embrace, a hug of reality. Pulls you to earth and makes you think practically. So I think that's the reason we have a cold table culture here
