Here are the reasons to avoid it at all costs:<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Less \u2018Me Time\u2019<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do you realize how much free time you have when you don\u2019t have to pretend to be interested in someone else\u2019s life? Skip cuffing season and spend your winter nights focusing on what\u2019s really important: Y-O-U. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/3-easy-mindfulness-exercises-for-calming-the-heck-down\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Learn how to meditate<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, wine and dine yourself, get around to that book you\u2019ve been meaning to read for the past 3 years. Plus &#8211; sole ownership of the remote. Need I say more?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>SHOW-down<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Speaking of TV, the best of it happens to debut right smack in the middle of cuffing season. Now, it\u2019s possible you\u2019ll find someone with the exact same tastes as you but chances are you\u2019re going to have to make room in your schedule for <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">another <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">season of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Walking Dead <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">when you\u2019d rather binge <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Crown<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>D-R-A-M-A<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Any relationship that is born out of a panicked state of desperation probably won\u2019t be smooth sailing. One minute you\u2019re enjoying finally having a steady date to all those holiday parties, and the next you\u2019re scream-crying in the backseat of an Uber. Save the drama for your mama (not really&#8230;be nice to your mom!) and just say no to cuffing.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Personal Space<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Idealized snuggles actually mean losing your blanket in the middle of the night. Also, shower sex sucks and whoever says otherwise is a filthy (and shivering) liar. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Turkey Jerk-y<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You\u2019d think having a partner means twice the Thanksgiving dinners (aka double turkey) but what you\u2019ll <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">actually<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> get in a new relationship is extreme anxiety over meeting your partner\u2019s parents and when to interrupt their racist aunt\u2019s tirade to ask for more pumpkin pie. Hard pass. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Cuffing Season = Holiday Season = Buying Gifts for Other People<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ugh. Spare yourself the headache of figuring out what gift conveys the message \u201cI like you\u2026 for now,\u201d and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foreo.com\/mysa\/urge-splurge-resist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">spend that dinero<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> on numero uno.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Closed for Business<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">New Year\u2019s is around the corner and while having a NYE kiss locked down works for some, we like to relive our dancefloor makeout bandit days by scoping out the best that this overpriced club has to offer. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>\u2018Borrowing\u2019<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While straight girls may win the day when it comes to acquiring new comfy sweatshirts upon entering relationships, pretty much everyone else loses. Seriously, guard your flannels and hoodies carefully. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>It Never Lasts Anyway<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Valentine\u2019s Day comes and goes, it leaves more than stale candy hearts in its wake; it marks the beginning of the end of cuffing season. Spring is on the horizon, which means warmer weather, exposed flesh and absolutely no reason to stay tied down. Are those few months of companionship worth the emotional fallout post-breakup? Survey says\u2026 nope.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>News flash: You CAN survive winter without a significant other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":2458,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1317],"tags":[137,326,16,397,136],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Cuffing Season is For Suckers - And You Know It<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cold winter weather and cuffing go hand in hand.
