Seasonal Couples...?

With winter fast approaching and those winter nights becoming increasingly colder, I have had to ask myself, do people really couple up for winter? It seems almost stupid to even acknowledge it as a legitimate topic, but do people in fact get less picky as the temperature drops? Personally I'd rather keep the bar consistently high, the only thing I turn up is my electric blanket (sad but true!). But I'm intrigued to see numerous friends, both gay and straight, all increasing their weekly dates. Is it a last minute attempt to secure a winter bed warmer, or is it something completely different? While there are those nights that so fittingly remind you how alone you really are, they are short lived, and with a new day comes a new hope that you might just bump into Mr/Mrs right...however winter is fast approaching, and I'm yet to even get a glance of Mr right, let alone bump into him. Should I lower the bar and let my winter nights be temporarily cosy and cuddly, or do I hold strong, and become overly attached to my new, super-fluffy pillows?
