DISCUSSION - What are your thoughts on cuffing season?
Added 2021-11-17 23:00:03 +0000 UTC
News article got me curious today, it's common term, but, cuffing season ...
UD defines as:
The cold season when everyone’s coupling up, so you settle for a new bf/gf way below your standards. ~Or~ you’re one of the smart ones who cozies up w Coors Light and your pupper bff.
Bobby: Yo, it’s cuffing season, you wanna lock this down?
Charlotte: Ugh no. I’m gonna Chill at home with a Coors Light and Murphy.
Okay , so Coors Light really tried to hijack Urban Dictionary for clout and to convince people to drink their beers, which is kinda embarrassing but...
---
Does it (cuffing season) really exist?
Can it foster a happily ever after?
Are you actively searching for body pillows?
Do you hunker down and just hibernate for 6 months?

The only "cuffing season" permissible involves restraints not constraints 😉

Ok so hear me out. When I first heard about Cuffing Season, I thought I heard "cupping". I had a Mom moment. My oldest daughter soon corrected me after 3 months. But, it's not for me. I'm either in a relationship or nothing. Not bashing anyone else, it's just not for me.

Just here to have a good time regardless of the season! Being ready for commitment will occur when I'm actually ready vs feeling pressured to

I'm too old for "cuffing season". Either you want a real relationship or not.

🤔 I just buy myself men's oversized hoodies, some good wine, and watch all the dumb Hallmark movies with none of the drama. No need to settle lol.

Same, I constantly see people doing it, probably unconsciously but never seen it end well either like you say

Yeah I feel like it is press spin or creating a new word for old behaviours!

Not noticed this behavior in myself when I was single….but it’s been a while

Fun fact: the smell of pumpkin is an afrodisiac, especially towards men! So because it’s a scent typical to these autumn/winter months it could be one of the reasons people get into relationships✨

I think it's a thing, for sure. Whether done intentionally or not may be another question. Settling? Never. Choosing to see romantic partners will never be as amazingly scripted as they are on TV? Yeah, maybe. This year, I'm cuffing to Best Kept Secret. It may be settling, but it's also perfectly scripted.

I personally don't think cuffing season works. Not in the long run. I see couples get together in Fall/Winter and by Summer they are no longer together. I don't drink alcohol so I just remain to myself. The right one will come in time.

I agree there is a certain group of people that practice cuffing during this time however I have never seen it end well

No one wants me during the rest of the year, do not come to me because you're lonely and cold lol

This seems like a very inauthentic way to ask for what you want...if you want a relationship decide if you want to wait for someone "compatible"...or settle for who is available. Just be honest with yourself and any partner.

I never really thought about having any sudden urge to be "cuddled" just because the weather is changing and the holidays are coming. Doesn't seem smart in the long run to fill a void with someone unless it's mutual that we just want to hang out and shit isn't serious. If anything a lot of people are going through seasonal depression and need a distraction. This is where your patreon comes in for me 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Seems like a weird new trend for old habits. Colder weather aka Winter coupling has always been a thing only made more forefront by current events. I believe ‘cuffing seasons’ to be any time of year and due to personal experiences aka post breakup/rebounding/I-guess-I’ll-just-end-up-an-old-spinster-with-12+-cats kind of a thing. Guess you could say I’ve experienced a few of these myself ... 😳

Eh, cuffing season comes and by June the couples are broken up with, pregnant, engaged, or still going strong. It exists for those that practice and show it off on social media. I've never participated but I see it happen in my town all the time
