The “cuffing season,” which includes winter but also fall, is when we are most likely to seek and desire long-term relationships. Here’s why…
When it’s freezing outside, the desire to cuddle increases inside! It depends on the “cuffing season“, literally the “cuffing season”. Why does this happen? There is no universally valid answer but apparently different aspects influence, starting from need for emotional comfort that emerges when temperatures drop outside.
Not to mention during the winter season the desire to go out and socialize is reduced compared to summer (the flirting season), probably due to the longer hours of darkness and of course the cold.
This could also depend on ours evolutionary past: in the harshest months our ancestors, not being able to take refuge in the warmth under the blankets, and being more exposed and vulnerable to attacks by predators, probably sought company to save their own skin!
In short, winter is a time of retreat from the scene, during which we feel more in need of looking inside ourselves and sharing time with those we really love. For one reason or another.
This is why even the most ardent singles unexpectedly rediscover the desire to have someone (stable) by their side, forgetting for a few months the desire for flirtation, which promptly reemerges with the return of summer. Hit and run relationships are evidently not suited to the winter atmosphere, much less the Christmas one.
To confirm itamong other things, they are different dating appslike Bumble and Hinge: according to research conducted by Bumble, the busiest period of the year is between the end of November and mid-February, which means that winter is the favorite season for those looking for a partner or a online companion.
