Last week we talked about the oncoming “cuffing season” and how we would navigate it with the current pandemic. And it seems like this news came just in time: singles who are satisfied with their friendships are less likely to desire a romantic partner!

Via PsyPost:

After controlling for factors such as age, health, education, employment, income satisfaction, and number of children, Kislev found that the importance of friends and social satisfaction were correlated with the degree of choosing singlehood.

“My findings show that people that desire relationships at higher levels tend to assign their friends lower importance and are less satisfied with their social lives. And vice versa, singles with less relationship desire think their friends are more important and are also more satisfied with their social lives,” he told PsyPost.

So, if you’ve been ignoring your friendships, it’s time to whip out that phone and give them a call, get together for a socially distanced drink or zoom happy hour, and cultivate those relationships – or you might find yourself cuffed up this winter and less able to enjoy the benefits of your favorite dating site, OnlineBootyCall.com!
