ktya Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I know that this is not going to be the same calendar wise in one place of the world as it is in another, but it is something of a curiosity for me, seeing as I have been single and dating by choice for one year now. January (winter) I was having tremendous dating success, almost like I could do no wrong. Things slowed down in the early spring (March) but kept moving along and then picked up a bit. Summer although OLD was dead (understandable) but found cold approaches worked incredibly, I picked up a hottie at 2PM on a pub patio on a Wednesday afternoon despite that she had a boyfriend. Spent 5 fun weeks with her. Now its fall and I'm finding OLD is still almost as stale as the summer and the contacts are really flakey, just disappearing. I assume as it gets colder and more miserable OLD will likely pick up. Any LS people who've been dating a long time find any kind of a cycle to the seasons? Any male/female differences? I know there's the old adage that the women all start looking for boyfriends in the spring but that might just be an old wives tale.
BluEyeL Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 In January people make resolutions to start dating, so I felt the beginning of the year is good. Although I met my current boyfriend in June. So overall, you just never know.

Gaeta Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Women think of dating during spring because it's when you can go out on all kinds of fun activities, this is when we can dress up, etc. Men is during fall, they want to find someone to cuddle to during those long months of winter. I am a female and I have noticed there is a bigger amount of men online from September when summer is over and school has started. A lot of single parents will wait for kids to be back in school before looking into dating. Also many men have their kids all summer long. 1
Gaeta Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 you had 'fun' with someone who had a boyfriend? Scum! More like SHE is a scum. OP is just an opportunist, he had an opportunity and he took it, he is not cheating on anyone. She is the one with questionable moral.

Jethro Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 OLD get's heated up big time in the fall and early winter because women don't want to go through the holidays alone. At least that is what I have experienced.
normal person Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I think there definitely is a seasonality to this sort of thing but I've never been able to make any sense of it, everyone's different. When we had the polar vortex here in January and it was insufferably cold, I was with a tiny girl who got cold really easily and didn't want to leave her apartment. If girls have some foresight, right about now they'll be thinking about spending the holidays with a guy. After that maybe they'll stick inside for a while until Spring. Just some thoughts I've had myself. Although I will say, the best time to do a search on OLD is on a weeknight 8-11 when there's a bad thunderstorm in your city. Tons of girls will be online because they don't want to be outside for any reason.
