Cuffing season is at the intersection of many other seasons. It occurs during the holidays, when people spend lots of time with family. It also takes place during busy travel months and PTO days. For these reasons and more, some interesting trends have come to light surrounding this tradition. Landscaping company Lawn Starter conducted a survey of singles during this time of year and found this:

• Some people do it for their family. If you’ve ever faced the holiday dinner interrogation about why you’re still single, then you can relate. Sixteen percent of respondents in this survey said they got into a relationship during cuffing season due to family pressure.
• Get those IG likes. There is a lot that people will do “for the ‘gram” these days, including getting into a relationship. The survey found that just over seven percent of women and 10 percent of men get into winter relationships for the IG posts.
• Not everyone believes in cuffing season. It seems the topic of cuffing season is as polarizing as climate change in that, nearly half of the country doesn’t believe it exists.
