I'm tell you why it's the loneliest time of the year for those alone, single Thanksgiving x mad new years times of coming together sharing the season and end start of a a new cycle or year, it years at ones heart being alone this time of year no family to share it with us like around October lines creeps out slowly to remind you that while most is out enjoying the festivities with loved ones your on out side in rain or snow watching everyone happy warm loved and ask why can't you have that it be a part of also, you try to fight the tears but give in and ū it's the most pain one can experience the weaker minded just end it done become hardened to every one and everything other fall into despair giving in to this emotion of sadness others don't give a damn to them it's just about day on this rock and loneliness be damn give me another bottle of scotch and fuck off, yeah some cuff of at you say ingot too regret it after when in their haste to belong to the happy set and show everyone see I got me a loving man or shee-it, got my baby this year dogg ain't she fine as where she go I'm n bathroom with Tyrone again, they come to realize oops the one they choose is a fucking lunatic and sorry of getting a restraining order have a hell of a time getting rid of their mistake so take the festivities are about to kick of soon but do to is depression misery sorry and do many sad lonely people some probably already contemplating the end the weak minded ones I mean
You’re only sad and lonely until you’re not unless people want that to be there forever story.
People think they are so self righteous saying things like I would never get into a relationship out of loneliness or desperation. People have physical needs, if you think you're above that, you're just deluded. Is it a long term solution, will you marry them, probably not but its better than sitting at home streaming whatever bullshit entertainment you're wayching on Netflix rn, thinking you're such a 'strong person'. Id 100% rather take a chance on a human being than just interact with a screen and the internet.
No thanks. You're basically fake dating someone.
Let's just call cuffing what it really is: coupling up out of loneliness, desperation, low self esteem, or fear of being judged by others...
How about instead of a fake date, we normalize "real dating?"
Just a thought. I might be asking too much again 😐
Alright Fair enough. Just remember it could also be fun for some... you know those "fun people" you don't like. LOL
Those "fun people" could try asking us out for real... you know, instead of wanting to "cuff" for x amount of time.
Sounds like they just want a relationship and fun aspects of it without the drama and attachment.
... but what do I know? That's just my thought on the matter.
I'd be wary if a guy asked me out between now and early February because I'd assume there's some hidden agenda behind it 🤔
Now and February? So what's the excuse during the other months?
Ooh, you trying to be snarky over there Coach? I felt some burn in that comment, LOL
To answer your question: lack of interest from anyone around here. I might be dense, but I'm not blind. Been a while since anyone around here even spoke to me outside of wanting to be friends or acquaintances.
It's Friday night just bringing a little bit of heat during cuffing season. Ha
Haha! Okay, I'll give you that!
Just don't bring too much heat; it's still hot enough where I'm at and I have the a/c running. I rather someone cool it down instead~
You're HARD to get to know, CD!
@Guardian45 Nah, I'm not that hard to get close to... if you're the right person (s). I'm just at the point in my life I've dealt with so much nonsense from people (relationships and friendships) I'm wary about whom I let into my life.
Over a year ago I tried reaching out to you, you showed no interest or enthusiasm. So I guessed you weren't interested, but you never said so. So I just gave up. I figured you weren't interested. Was I wrong?
@Cynicaldreamer every time I see you argue is either your not looking or you seem upset nobody’s picked you…
So now I’m curious. Why are you still single?
@Guardian45 "Over a year ago I tried reaching out to you, you showed no interest or enthusiasm. So I guessed you weren't interested, but you never said so. So I just gave up. I figured you weren't interested."
Really? Huh. I certainly didn't realize it. As I've said before, I'm DENSE (with strong emphasis on dense) so if you were interested, I certainly didn't know! Which I guess doesn't matter. As I state on my profile, I'm not on here to date or pursue relationships, so I wouldn't have been interested.
Now if you meant just chatting/friendship? That's different! I'm just not really chatty via messenger on here. I abhor the chat program on here; I kind of wish they would disable it, but that's another rant.
@VanillaSalt Where you want me to start? This could turn into a long discussion...
To paraphrase, I'm average looking at best (No, I'm not being modest, I really am and I can admit that). So nothing about me stands out to make me attractive or sought after like most women.
In addition, I live in a small town/area, making dating very difficult. Most men my age are already married, taken, moved away due to the economy and social skill... or lack of rather. And the rest are flat out not interested in me. And before you say, "Why don't you move?" My parents are getting older and I rather not move right now. Plus I do like the area and have a decent job...
Online dating? Holy crap what a hot mess. Done it in the past and got enough horror stories to write a short novel. Put it this way- I empathize with guys and their struggles on dating apps. Not all women have guys flocking to their inboxes, lol. Even when I messaged them first? I got a "thanks but no thanks" type of response.
So yeah... I just stopped bothering. Being constantly rejected, friendzoned, misled is not good for your mental and emotional health. So I'm enjoying the single life.
*social scene, not skill... stupid autocorrect
Sign, that happened to me! Yikes
@bubblespopcorn Sucks doesn't it?
Bad thing is, some people prefer "cuffing" over a real relationship... why I'll never know.
I couldn’t give him what he wanted or needed. He also had to work on himself!! It ended after 6 months… I think not moving in with him so soon was a factor too. He didn’t like the rejection
Yeah, that’s strange!! Why, I’ll never know either
Then why don’t you do something about it? Women have the most options to being acceptable by men’s standards. I don't know why your so ugly but you can go to the gym, put on makeup, get insurance and get dental work… a woman failing I can’t understand how. Yes you deal with the same things we men do for sure. But I think in your case and sometimes in men’s case they do nothing about it allowing it to repeat. Very few women can’t be beautiful without a modest amount of work.
So basically that girl who remembers all the pain of hearing all the "aw poor thing, single at this time of year..." stuff from last year's Christmas parties drops her grabs any guy she can to prove she can get a man then ditches him once she's got the Valentine present. Go on guys it's easy season.
So thats why my relationships tend to end right after i buy em an expensive Valentine's gift.
Wait... I think im doing it wrong

I am already in a relationship. One facet of our culture is that we have many more social events and social holidays in the fall and springtime. Isn't it great to take a girl home to meet your family at Thanksgiving?

Going to Christmas parties with someone special is so much more fun than going alone.

Who in the hell wants to be alone on Christmas or New Years Eve?

Sitting at home on Valentine's Day is a sign of failure.

And the cold months are the premium snuggling season!

I rest my case!
Yeah no to "that" kind of cuffing 🤭
Oh my lol
😇😈😇🤣
Hey! What do you mean "that kind"? Is there ANY other?
@Guardian45 handcuffs hehe
🤣🤣🤣
@Guardian45 😁😅
I’m a little mad you took my response lol
@fit_and_feminine lolol there's more than one pair of cuffs no worries😂😂
I meant you took my response not my handcuffs
@fit_and_feminine Lolol I know 😅
Your profile picture is gorgeous
@fit_and_feminine meh but thanks for saying so😊
@Brainsbeforebeauty perverted minds think alike! 😄
No, I'm not. I've always thought it's stupid to seek a relationship just based on the weather.
It is cold and warm bodies do kind of help LOL
I never understood the "Hot Girl Summer" then the "Cuffing Season" bullshit. Just a six month period where you are fucking someone then breaking up with them when it is time to go on a boat.
It's tragic I know lol
Coach, it makes no sense. Why get in that loop and do that shit? You are essentially just living hookup life with only half of the year being with multiple people at once then using one other to be your emotional. spongr for the other half.
True but when you have two people who are in that mindset for whatever reason... bad break up.. bad divorce etc.. it's fun to connect with someone knowing that it's just for fun. Lets put it this way.. all the planets have to align for it to really pay off.
Doesn't help when it spreads to other people and fuck things up down the line for newer generations.
Well you got wrap that tool lol
The only sorta cuffing I’m looking forward to is being handcuffed for being disorderly. No cuffing here thank you very much. 😆
Ha ha ha
I thought this was handcuffing we were talking about. Because I was all in! Coupled up. That’s a hard NO.
Ha Ha ha
I don’t have anyone to cuff with. I guess I’ll be cuffing in bed with a blanket, a Nichols Sparks book, and wine like I do every year for the last 7 years.. no one to cuddle with.. same for every holiday.
Awww...😥
Trudat! Good Luck.
I mean, I've heard of that happening in places like Chicago where it's actually cold. Here in LA, people don't really date, anyway, and no one's rushing to couple up.
True weather is a huge factor.
LOL that’s cute & I have heard of it, but I only wanna be “cuff” with the right guy not just over the seasons and over the bed sheets 😂
Totally? Like, fer sure? Grotiie!! Like, gag me with a sppon, fer sure!!
You mean, people decide to handcuff themselves or let someone else do it to them and just walk around like that all day? I didn't realize there was EVER a specific time of year for that!
I've been thinking about this. It's definitely cuffing season. I want someone regular to deal with not a gang of folks
Long as its cuffed by someone i like and not some cop tryna arrest me
Wait didn't realize cuffing was a temporary thing… i’ll pass
I've had me a fella since February 😂 Non applicable. 😜
Never heard of it but I’ve been taken for years so doesn’t affect me
No, I'm not looking for that at all. I don't want to be humilliated, beaten up or even killed. Because that's what would happen if I dated or "got cuffed" by a guy from where I live
No; I'm not into seasonal dating. I'm not interested in anything temporary. That's way too shallow for me.
That's interesting. Nah. I've struck out so much I don't think it's possible for me to have a girlfriend.
When I read this I was like WTF is cufffed? Season, to go to jail? Wtf, but no I am not afraid of being single. Good to know so less women ghosting. Hahahahha
It sounds kind of cheap and temporary and profoundly unserious. Hot Girl Summer followed by cuffing? You’re kidding right? “Cuffed”, yeah, I’m sure Mr Chad has the keys to in lock her cuffs no doubt anyway.
How about I’ll put the handcuffs on the girl and get a whip? Lol 😂
Yeah I thought cuffing season was the beginning of summer months where you can spot a gay person by their cuffed jeans.
I don’t want to be married but I would like to try bondage
"Cuffing season" what unhinged idiot thought up that term. Someone I suppose who has spent plenty of time in cuffs & jail.
Exactly
Blasphemous
No! That’s pathetic. Especially if you’re older than 16.
The only cuffing ima do involves handcuffs and blindfolds.
I just started grad school and I work full time. I don't have the time or the money.
doesn't make a difference one way or another for me
Never heard of htat stuff maybe cause I dont live in the USA and even where i Live we have cold winter i dont hear here is a tradition to do that..
I wanna be cuffed up for the whole year and many years after that
Yeah, I think I got cuffed by my current boyfriend…
Probably not. I think I'm going to keep this Christmas peaceful and not let some girl turn it into a shit show.
Not really unless he's going to provide me with the same peace I have now. These days men seem to be drama Queens
Um yeah but not cause it's cuffing season lol.
I'm not looking to get cuffed, it's also not something that could ever happen to me in my life.
Yea
I definitely want some of that “cuffing”
throw in Netflix and some ice. cream
Already have a girlfriend and I got her at the end of June back in '18
Sounds kinda weird. Like when Peter Griffin shoved NACHOS BELL GRANDE in his face
I'm good, dude.
Is your supercutebutt good? cool lol
Never heard of this but ok lol
I am wanting to stop being sexually harassed by selfish males at my job.
I might try dating, but I’m not sure yet
fuck yeah man, feels so good
Already am 😊
Nah, already have a boyfriend since 2 years ago
Single life, happy life
No one wants to be cuffed to a dog.
Nope. I prefer peace.
I'm already cuffed up
No lol I’m happier being back single
Nah, I live in a no cuffing zone, lol.
I thought it was deer season
I'm looking to get cuffed and fucced
Damn dude
Suuuuure 😏
I think I'm cuffed all the time.
Nah, I'm ALREADY "cuffed"
I reject your reality and substitute my own.
Not particularly
Nope
fuck yeah
agreed
I don't know
