The Season of the Witch is... The Season of Love?
|
The Season of the Witch is... The Season of Love? Yes, you read that title right. According to almost every expert on human nature, the autumn time is the time that human beings are most likely to be looking for love. Not exactly what you'd expect, is it? Apparently, this partly hearkens back to the days of yore, when people didn't even know what the word "yore" meant, and the cavemen and cavewomen drove around in stone cars propelled by their feet, dishwashers were created using tiny mastodons, and people pulled the tails of prehistoric birds to signify the end of their work shift. No, really... I saw it on the Flintstones, and the Flintstones never lie. Right? Anyway, back in the days of ancient mankind, winter usually spelled a time of danger and solitude, which meant there would be little to no time to find a mate. This generally carried through to as far as the 1800's, since it's only somewhat modern conveniences that enable us to fully function in winter. Naturally, if they didn't want to spend the winter alone, they would need to "step up their game" and find themselves a mate, pronto. Hence... it became normal for mankind to seriously look for love during autumn. You'd think it would be spring or summer, right? But that's a time of comfort and play, and it's much easier to live and deal with life and love... there's no desperation involved, so there's no urgency. So our search for love is casual during those seasons, rather than serious and intent. Makes sense to me. We humans get that instinctual urge to nest and be protected during winter... that urge is natural to mean we want to pair up. The human instinct says that we want our babies to be born in summer rather than winter to give the baby a better chance of survival, so we typically go bonkers in bed in the autumn. Also, in modern society, autumn spells the beginning of our professional, active lives. School is starting up again, fiscal years are becoming a factor, summer vacations are over, promotions are happening, and the holidays are right around the corner. This means people are gearing themselves up for serious business instead of flirting and frolicking around... but they haven't stopped looking for love, either. So their search for love becomes more intent and serious, too. Instead of just looking for summer romance, they're looking for their Mr. or Ms. Right. After all, no one wants to spend the holidays alone. And... get this... autumn is our time to be fashion-conscience! In the summer, we're letting it all hang out, which means people are thinking "sex" rather than thinking "love". In the winter, we're bundled up against the cold, so showing off anything really isn't on our minds. But autumn is still cool and warm enough to display our best clothes in the best possible way. It sends the message of "take me seriously" rather than "come hither" or "I'm too freakin' cold to try and entice you". That means we're not only dressed to impress, we're sending the message of "I'm serious about a relationship, not just sex." I thought that was interesting. Experts say that if you're serious about getting serious with someone, now is the time to get out there and mingle. Perhaps I've quit trying a little too soon... Comments? Questions? Does this ring any bells with you? As usual, my blog is ready to receive. Do you think this means that pairing up on A.F.F. will be speeding up or slowing down? Hmmm.... .
