According to the dating app, Hinge, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy spoke with the company to discuss “COVID and cuffing season.”

“Relationships are as important as ever, and that includes our romantic relationships,” tweeted Dr. Murthy. “Grateful to [Hinge] for this conversation on how we can make dating safer during the pandemic.”

“Worried about COVID and cuffing season?” tweeted Hinge. “We asked the [Surgeon General] how to navigate everything from the first kiss to the real talk.”

“Cuffing season” refers to the period between October and March when singles ramp up their search for a significant other in order to increase their chances of spending the end of the year holidays, like Thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve, and Valentine’s Day, with a partner. Esquire magazine designates “cuffing season,” “as the time of year when people couple off to combat the cold and loneliness. When parsed down, it is simply a social construct, partly manufactured from holiday stress and partly biological, that pushes single people into relationships for the winter months.”

The use of the word “cuff” references handcuffs, but is slang in the same vein as ‘hooking up’ or ‘getting hitched.’”-- excerpt, rest at link above --
