An odd phenomenon, not to mention one I've never even considered, but according to a guy who would know, women should abandon any hope of starting something special with a dude in the spring/summer.
Friend's boyfriend, or FBF as I will henceforth refer to him, is the longtime boyfriend of one of my best friends. He's a tad bit older and wiser than gentlemen my own age, but he definitely isn't flawless. He has been with my girl friend for nearly 5 years - they have lived together for three - but there's still no ring on it. You can guess how my friend must feel about the entire situation... not so awesome. However, despite his current romantic situation FBF sometimes makes a lot of sense when it comes to talking about relationships and my current single situation. Recently we had a heart to heart while waiting for a AAA repairman to come fix his flat tire while my friend was passed out in the front seat.
FBF has told me before (and reiterated during our wait for the ever absent repair-dude) to stop stressing about love in my life and have confidence in who I am. According to him, I've got my shit going on. He reminds me to look at where I am - I have a masters degree, a full time job I like, a 5-block walk to work, great friends, and an adventurous spirit. In his mind and, according to him, in the minds of men who I meet, any man would be lucky to get with me. He even takes it one step further, he declares that the men I meet actually have something to prove to me, not the other way around.
While chatting FBF also disclosed another dating oddity which I had never considered, apparently men only want to really get with ladies in a significant way round about the fall and winter - definitely not in the spring or summer. Apparently we ladies are just barking up all the wrong trees if the temperature is above 70 degrees. FBF said men want to snuggle up in the winter time "'cause winters get cold" and in the summertime there are ladies looking to have fun abound.
Interesting theory. As the fall approaches with effervescent speed, I will keep you posted.
