Do you, or do you know someone, who specifically dates people at the holidays so they aren’t alone?

How about you?

Apparently this is known as “cuffing season”, they want to find someone to link up with over the holidays and through to Valentines.

[musicbrain5]

Oh and I don’t know anyone personally who has done this on purpose. My husband and I started dating around Christmas, years ago. That was before this kind of thing became trendy.

[Jersey2]

Well, I hope the cuffing works out for some of them. I think people who do this must put a lot of weight on appearances.

No I don't know anyone who does or has done that

[strateguy632]

i think in bridget jones diary? due to parent pressure eaxh holiday, so she dated someone who she didn't want so they would think she had a guy.

[OlderAndWiser]

Actually, starting to date someone new in December can be awkward. Do you buy them a Christmas gift? Invite them to family holiday gatherings?

I have never started dating someone JUST so I wouldn't be alone at the holidays. However, for most of my adult life, I was either married, in a relationship, dating, or looking for a partner - sometimes in December and sometimes in June.

I can't recall someone who actually did it... but I am sure it does happen all the time

[Jersey2]

From what I have read in the past it seems like a thing some people do.

I donlt know anyone that did that. I know people that dumped a girlfriend around Thanksgiving so they would not have to buy her a Christmas present.

[Sasha0426]

Really? 😅 They couldn’t have done that before the holidays?

[exitseven]

@Sasha0426 Thats why they call it the Turkey Dump. Its a real thing.

[Sasha0426]

Honestly, I had no idea that was a thing. Or that there was a name for it.

[Sasha0426]

That’s just fucked up. And it seems to happen mainly to those who are in school.

[exitseven]

@Sasha0426 yes but anyone can do it.

[rosemilk]

yes, one of my friends has always done that. kinda weird

[HawkPerception]

I've heard of cuffing season and have heard of people that participate in it back when I was in college, but now... nope. I've never had enough game or social aptitude to participate in cuffing season 😂

This is purely a female thing.

[Jersey2]

Every reference that I have seen has been that women do this. I find it a strange behavior.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Jersey2. It is strange and abusive behavior by women. But modern women are strange and abusive by nature.

[Jersey2]

I think modern women are rudderless. Their biological role and needs are being ignore as they try and emulate male biological needs and role. It just won’t work out well for society in the short term but in the lingterm it will gave to change again as we cannot survive as a species like this. Perhaps the feminists will go extinct as they cull themselves out of the dna pool. They have bad instincts.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Jersey2. Well said. Unfortunately, modern women are laying waste to society, destroying marriage, family, and damming their children to fail.

We need to bring back witch trials and burning at the stake.

[Jersey2]

Given the weakness of this generation, I think simple shunning would work.

[KrakenAttackin]

@Jersey2. You bring up an interesting point. "Shunning" (public shaming) is something that actually WORKS with women. Simply expecting women to feel "guilt" is unreasonable as women can rationalize any behavior. When the larger sisterhood and social media shame female behavior women will change.

[Drewtate]

Most women do this

[Sasha0426]

Never met anyone who does
