I was thinking over my dating life the past 10-15 years, and I realized that when I picked up women almost every relationship started either in very late July-August, or the current period btw Tksgvg and Jan 1st. I've been getting a lot of hits from online and at bars the past few weeks.
It was uncanny as I started to list the important girls in my head: Late Nov, August, Late Nov, Aug, Aug, Dec, late July, Aug, Dec. One of the very few that weren't in these 2-month stretches was close: 21yr model early July.

I couldn't figure out how this could be, until the obvious hit me in the face: It was right before Fall semester started and then clearly the holiday time when people were either: home from school, or out of school and wanted a guy for cuffing season. And it applied to not just undergrads, but also grad students, and those recently graduated from either.

I think women have been conditioned that if that don't have a guy during these times, they need to get one. Nobody wants to be the girl who doesn't have anyone when school starts up again. Same for the holiday season/Jan semester starting. Esp with the prevalence of social media and their female friends posting all the fun things they are doing with their bf/fwb.

Obvs for the holiday period she may just be looking for a guy for 4-5 weeks if her school is distant, but that suits many of us I would think. Most people go to school within ~90 mins of where they grew up anyway. Or maybe she just wants a ONS when away from her bf at school. She still wants sex from someone assuming she's not 100% devoted to a bf.

So my advice to all the guys on the forum looking for girls: now is one of the best times to be msging, going to bars, daygame, nightgame, apps, hit up girls you haven't texted in months, whatever. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by your success rate. Even in the cold northern cities, there are hot girls, dressed provocatively, out Wed-Sat nights at a minimum you can chat up.

Don't be lazy, get out there, keep going to the gym even if there's snow on the ground and you just wanna stay in. Most guys won't bother I can assure you. I see very, very little competition when I go out on the cold nights.

There's less compition but also less women.

I always have way more success in the summer than I do in the fall or winter.

Yeah the timing and conditions vary from year to year, the was the boyfriend season from thanksgiving to valentines, most community said worst time for pick up... Specially online.... For a while matched my experience till it did not...I started getting laid in the winter...

there was the best time for pick up which it was, after valentines...

Through the years, i stop with those "best" "worst times" cause it does change from year to year, to the point now a days is subjective...

Your post does make sense before school and pre holidays...

This year however i found this winter one of the worst seduction times i seen in a while, i seen a drastic declined in tourism in my area... Again is subjective...

Winter is always terrible usually. People bundle up and stay home. I don't blame them

Also trying to walk a girl back from the bars is always a challenge as she gets cold very quickly. Especially if she's dressed to impress. A mini dress and heels with snow, ice, and wind aren't a good mix.

I appreciate the fact that the women in the UK still dress up nice even during the winter.

If you can, try to get a ride back to your or her place in a bar van or taxi. After you two have done the deed drive her back where she wants to go (within reason).

I think that would be the optimal strategy.

For me the busiest time for picking up is always February the day of Valentines and the day after.

Clubs and Nightlife fall off here hard for winter. But it gets to 0 Celsius and rains every single day so I’m not surprised.
