Dating: What is cuffing season?!
Thank goodness for the internet! I am now fully aware of the official urban dictionary definition of cuffing season:
During the Fall and Winter months people who would normally rather be single or promiscuous find themselves along with the rest of the world desiring to be “Cuffed” or tied down by a serious relationship. The cold weather and prolonged indoor activity causes singles to become lonely and desperate to be cuffed.
Didn’t know there was a new term for this. Honestly, when I heard cuffing season my mind went straight to the gutter (I’m awful, I know). But I digress; this cuffing season is one of those double-edged swords. It can be good or it can be really bad. What happens in the spring? Will your cuffing boo suddenly start to look less appealing with the change in seasons?
This just proves how fickle dating can be. You could be excited about someone for a couple of months and things get hot and heavy. Then out of nowhere, you look up and find the person has become bored, gone to the next victim. They may even pull that oh so lovely disappearing act – my personal favorite maneuver (NOT).
Do you ever think that people you are pursuing or dating are only interested in you to keep them warm in the fall or winter? How do you know if they are planning on sticking around?

Bluz – You just trying to use our sexy talk as a reason to hit him up again. I call BS on that like Legg said. Get you a dilllllll do and call it a night. No need to send him on his way afterwards…just wash, rinse and throw it in your drawer when you’re done.

slim, I hope whip isn’t a biggie either, and since I recently found out I have a high tolerance for pain, it would be fun (LOL)

I get it…really I do but upon first read it almost seems kind of oxymoronic and funny at the same time
Sassy – Domination does not have to equal pain and humiliation. There are degrees and levels to everything. There was one dude I dated that had this down to a tea. He was a man’s man if you know what I mean.

Domination does not have to equal pain and humiliation.
I agree and that’s not what I meant in my post either….not the humiliation part anyway… a lil “sweet pain” is good. As I said in the beginning of the post I get it..really I do.
And for the record EVERY time you type the word weenie it makes me laugh

You can be in a relationship and still feel lonely. One does not have to be alone to feel tonely.

Leggs

And that has got to be one of the worst feelings being in a relationship.
Now, not having to be alone to feel tonely makes me think is you’re thinking touchy touchy things in your mind and forgot how to type (lol).

But the modern girl was elated
with what the rev-o-lution gave her
And since she’d been lib-er-ated
she could have anything
that striked her fancy
And she fancied
quite a bit
I mean, if it felt good, she did it
Aaaaaaaaaand she did it every chance she could get
With her main modern man
and otherwise
And her taste wasn’t limited
to just modern guys…
Since another modern girl showed her
that modern girls know how to hold her
And after she had her eyes eyes opened
all her old close friends started
getting closer
And new friends weren’t that far,
far away…

So since swiss’ song promted this question, do any of you all do that do on your own, while in the presence of your SO and vice versa?

but the modern man he just wasn’t so lucky
he being shook from his usual role as the heartbreaker
he was completely battered and bewildered
when he actually started in feeling something for her
and he discovered a new emotion
when they stopped ending up together as frequently
and when he finally confronted her with the question
“had she been bedding down with others in the periphery without him?”
and she replied “Hell yes! ain’t it funny!”

Slim1 I certainly agree with you about feeling lonely. Don’t the lonely have to make their own happiness and why are they staying in a situation where they’re not satisfied in?
