Hello SF
Right now Texas is in the throes of late summer. Let me tell you about late summer in Texas. Its hot, DAMN hot, like 115F in the heat indices. Whats a heat index? Its the added heat the humidity gives. So at like 115F you can't hardly breathe outside and you are wringing wet after about 10 mins.
So I seriously dislike summer and summer lasts from June through September most of the time. We are hoping for an early fall this year.
I love all the other seasons lol

So to the questions....
spring
Good Nature comes alive
Bad Always seems too short
summer
Good It's warm
Bad it's hot
Fall
Good crisp mornings
Bad Always seems to short
winter
Good it rains
Bad gets dark too early
what age do you want to make it to
No specific number...just up to point still have quality of life
who won the battle of the sexes
Like to think that we continue to learn from one another and that through this knowledge it will lead to no longer a battle but an understanding and valuing of each other's worth and contributions to society/community
if science could make everyone perfect and immortal but everyone would look alike, would you do it or be an individual and die at a normal age?
I would die an individual as it us as individuals that make the world such an interesting wonderful experience

Hiya everyone! 
Thanks Mike for opening.
Here's a few answers for those interested... :p
Spring :
As long as I can while fairly "able", I guess.
Who won the battle of the sexes?
There is no battle and never have been...
If science could make everyone perfect and immortal but everyone would look alike, would you do it or be an individual and die at a normal age?
I guess if we were all perfect but the same, my opinion wouldn't matter and we would be happy anyway, right? From my point of view it'd be sad, but if it happened, it wouldn't matter anymore.
Thanks Mike for opening.Here's a few answers for those interested... :p
Spring :
+ Closer to Summer.
- Basically still winter.
Summer :+ Festivals. Vacation, travel. Summer dresses. Everyone is happier...
- Mosquitoes.
Fall : + New beginning. Concerts.
- Closer to winter.
Winter : + Not much.
- Cold, wet, you're expected to be happy and festive but are not at all.
What age do you want to make it to? As long as I can while fairly "able", I guess.

Hey Mike!!! Thanks for the tag. Hope everyone is doing well today!!!! I think I was needing my coffee on the rocks today!!!
Spring - love longer days, hating the bees.
Summer - love is in the air. People holding hands everywhere! I’m all for it! Too hot some days!
Autumn - leaves changing color, cool nights, my favorite time of the year! Raking leaves - yuck!
Winter- holidays yes!!! Shoveling snow - another yuck!
I hope to make it to age 80 most days,
Nobody won the battle of the sexes.
I like my individuality and never cared for immortality.
Happy Tuesday. I’m off to find the coffee pot! Enjoy your day!

Summer: Good for bathing in cold water. We don't need to warm water for bathing. Bad because it is hot and sleep is difficult. Food get spoiled faster in summer.
Winter: Good for sleep because it is cold and you can use blanket while sleeping. Food is tastier especially winter vegetables are delicious.Bad because we need warm water for bathing.
I don't mind living for as long as possible if there is no difficulty or problem in life. Otherwise I want to be the are of 60 so that I get retirement and pension without work.

I get exceedingly cranky right about now because we don't get fall here. It's the hottest time of the year in LA. I like summer but here it just seems to never end, and it's too hot to really be comfortable outside. It's gonna be > 100F again this weekend. I miss the crisp, cool air of fall.

what is your favorite thing and worse thing about:
spring
-I love spring weather and being able to start opening windows again!
summer
-Going to the beach or just to the river to hang out
fall
-My favorite season!!! Weather is perfect, life is resuming after a summer break (well, in years that aren't 2020)
winter
-The holiday season, despite the fact that I'm not Christian
what age do you want to make it to
-I can't even begin to answer this, as long as I can feel some sense of purpose I want to be around
who won the battle of the sexes
-It isn't over yet
if science could make everyone perfect and immortal but everyone would look alike, would you do it or be an individual and die at a normal age?
-Individual. I read Simone de Beauvoir's "All Men are Mortal," it doesn't paint a nice picture of immortality

Thank you Mike for inviting me
Spring
good - it's getting warmer, everything's blooming
bad - wind
Summer
good - hot weather, beach, cold beer, my absolutely favorite time
bad – it ends
Autmn
good – new wine and harvest festivals
bad – rain
Winter
good – travel to a warmer place
bad – everything else
what age do you want to make it to
Until I’m healthy and recognise people around me lol. But not without my man.
who won the battle of the sexes
What was the battle about?
if science could make everyone perfect and immortal but everyone would look alike, would you do it or be an individual and die at a normal age?
I don't want to be perfect or immortal, how boring would that be. Look alike, holly fuck no. I'm very individual.

Spring
I'd like to live to be 103 so that I can see in the start of 2100.
The battle of the sexes is a concept that makes me sad... an ongoing battle and an entirely unnecessary one.
If science could make everyone perfect and immortal but everyone would look alike, I wouldn't want to live forever and I wouldn't want to be perfect so I would probably become a hermit somewhere in the woods to avoid all the 'perfect' people... lol.
Best: Life slowly returning to the world.
Worst: Snow melts and makes everything muddy.
SummerBest: People are out walking their dogs; very cute.
Worst: Heat stroke inevitable for me.
AutumnBest: Perfect temperature and my favourite season.
Worst: I wish it lasted longer.
WinterBest: Nature looks beautiful covered in ice.
Worst: So cold that it hurts to breathe sometimes.

what is your favorite thing and worse thing about:
Spring favorites: my birthday at the beginning of the season, when all the flowers start blooming and the birds come out and show off their colors.
Spring downsides: those damn allergies!!
Summer favorites: having more daylight and homemade sun tea (yum!!) along with summer fruits like plums and peaches being my favorites
Summer downsides: where I live it gets really, really hot and my electric bill gets really, really expensive!
Fall favorites: if I could live somewhere where the climate was always the transition from summer to fall I'd be a very happy person. My favorite change of seasons and the colors of the leaves on the trees.
Fall downsides: I actually can't think of any except raking leaves lol. I like fall a lot.
Winter favorites: Cozying up next to my boyfriend and cats in front of the fireplace and the days off of work due to the holidays lol. A few family members have birthdays during this season too. I also love dressing for winter.
Winter downsides: Not much daylight, by the time I get home from work it's getting dark out so that can get tiring pretty quickly. I enjoy Christmas but wish it wasn't so commercialized.
What age do you want to make it to:
I don't have a number, but I want to be able to take care of myself without needing a caregiver. I worked at a nursing home and it has forever changed my views about growing old. If I can no longer take care of myself without minimal help I don't think I want to be around.
Who won the battle of the sexes:
I want to say women because I am one lol but I hope one day everyone will get along no matter what
If science could make everyone perfect and immortal but everyone would look alike, would you do it or be an individual and die at a normal age? -
I think I'd rather be an individual and die normally because people would probably no longer have a sense of self. Differences are what makes humanity great.
Thanks @1964dodge for a great way to open the cafe for a new month and for tagging me!

spring
Favorite thing as noted above things blooming and the critters come out from Winter. Worst is that in TX Spring may still be 80s and 90 degrees. I also hate losing an hour via daylight savings.
summer
Longer days if you have something planned is favorite while the sometime outrageous heat is least favorite.
fall
My favorite season I love the cooler weather and the shorter days can be good for going to bed earlier and gaining back that hour on daylight savings. Least favorite is sometimes it may be chillier than I prefer.
winter
Cross between Fall and Winter is the holiday season with presents and such going around. Least favorite is here when it gets cold it can be very cold but with the coats I have here I could probably visit Siberia with a couple of them and be warm. LOL
what age do you want to make it to
I have long past the age.
who won the battle of the sexes
Definitely women, they control the, well the...sex.

spring: I like the weather but sometimes it rains too much and then I can't play Pokemon go
summer: it's too hot but it's one of my favorite seasons I love eating summer food
fall: I like Halloween but um idk
winter: I love Christmas but it's too cold and sometimes it's impossible to take a walk
what age do you want to make it to: idk. I wanted to live as long as possible, but I'm not sure if it's worth it at all anymore. If I felt a lot healthier and better, I'd like to live forever.
who won the battle of the sexes: I don't really care much about sexes but I think non-binaries won
if science could make everyone perfect and immortal but everyone would look alike, would you do it or be an individual and die at a normal age? Sure, I'd do it.. If everyone looked like my favorite video game character, I probably wouldn't mind.
