What’s the Best Season for hooking up or finding love?
Beauty: Kendra Cunningham
Fall is the best season to look for a new boyfriend. Most guys are tired from drinking and chasing tail all summer. Now its fall and they don’t want to spend time hounding girls, they want to watch football. For the record,ladies, trying to meet guys at a sports bar during a football game is a caloric waste of time. Only go to watch a game if you’re truly interested. Guys can smell a phony a mile away. Unless of course, that phony is forward, friendly, and has big tits. Under these circumstances, guys will believe her sports related fantasy “I’m an NFL cheerleader” bit and upsell her as an “NFL draft pick consultant”. Let’s face it, big boobs and sports related nonsense make men vulnerable.
So, yeah, fall is the best season to land a snuggle bunny for the winter. Try to get as many possibilities in the pipeline by Thanksgiving by utilizing as many hook up techniques as possible. Ask to be set up, troll bars, and of course the most popular amongst the 20 somethings, the online dating sites.
If you’re trolling bars, go to happy hours. Make it a point to meet a man with a job! A stressful one that makes him want to drink and meet women to feel better about himself. Guys with stressful jobs tend to want to flaunt their financial status, which translates into dinners, presents, concerts, trips etc. You may even be able to groom yourself one of these, usually elusive, sugar daddy situations.
Ask for referrals and accept set ups. If you have friends that have someone who is “perfect for you” “ looking to settle down” or “ from a good family” – go ! Referrals can be one of the best ways to meet someone with common interests and expectations. Most likely they won’t do anything too crazy because you have mutual friends. A bad date story travels quick.
I occasionally hear of people meeting online. A very small percentage compared to the amount of people I hear who have TRIED online dating. I still equate online dating with predators, misogynists, and sex addicts. I’ll admit I’ve set up a few online dating accounts and enjoyed the influx of “I’m interested in you” emails. But not once have I taken a shower, picked out an outfit and left the house to meet any of those people. So, no, I’m not an advocate for online dating but, yeah, I know it works for some people. So try it. Bring a back up. Or a weapon. At least leave a breadcrumb trail.
Whatever combination of these methods you choose, try to have at least two or three potentials in the pipeline by Thanksgiving. If you’re anything like me, two or three will be tough. I’m lucky to be attracted to one new person a year. Lower your expectations or rearrange your priorities. After Thanksgiving, you start talking about Christmas. If he doesn’t ask you what you want, get rid of him, unless you REALLY like him then ask him what he wants, invite him to meet the family, be forward, aggressive, relentless- the gloves are off! The clocks ticking.
This is New York, people!
It’s a jungle out there.
Kisses-

On behalf of Kendra and myself, I want to thank our fan for emailing us this week’s question. Although I believe it should be answered in 2 parts: What is the best season for hooking up or finding love? That question has two different answers. The best season for hooking up historically would have to be Summer. So, if you were wishing for me to say Fall your opportunities may be behind you. Technically, there are a few more weeks left of the season, we all know the unofficial end to Summer is Labor Day weekend. Summer is a time where people are going out more, on vacation, and overall having more fun more often. Chances are more favorable to hook up in the Summer months.
Finding love is a different animal, I’m going to disagree with my counterpart Kendra and say the best time to find love is in the Winter. Women, if single, tend to latch on to someone during the holiday season. If I know Kendra, she will call me out because December 21st is the official start of Winter, so I would again technically be agreeing with Kendra. But just as this portion of September is not considered Summer, I certainly do not affiliate December with Fall. Everyone needs someone to keep them warm in the Winter, but does that equate to love? And if a couple does unite during the Winter months, will the bond endure the heat of the Summer?
I’m a firm believer that there is no right or wrong time to meet someone. In fact, the person who is not looking for anything is probably the most likely to meet someone. Once the pressure is off and there are goals being set, the person is able to be themselves and let their guard down. I would have to say this is the best time for a person to find love. But what do I know?
Good luck out there!
