As Christmas comes to an end, many people are left feeling disappointed and heartbroken after a brief romance. This phenomenon has become so common that it’s now been given a name – “snowmanning.”
Snowmanning is similar to ghosting, but with a festive twist. It occurs when someone suddenly disappears without explanation after the holiday season ends. A recent survey found that nearly one in five people have fallen victim to snowmanning.
Men are more likely to be left standing alone than women, with 27% of men experiencing this phenomenon compared to 15% of women. Younger daters are also more prone to snowmanning, with nearly half of Generation Z individuals aged 16-26 admitting to being snowballed, whereas only 7% of Baby Boomers over 59 reported the same.
Londoners and those from Belfast were among the worst affected, with 37% putting their partner on ice. The survey also found that Birmingham and Manchester residents were next in line, with 28% and 21% respectively experiencing snowmanning.
According to Dr Crystal Wyllie, a GP at Asda Online Doctor, people often get caught up in the festive atmosphere and have flings they quickly regret. This makes it easy for snowmanning to occur when people’s spirits are high and they’ve had multiple partners over the holiday season.
The good news is that many can take comfort in knowing they’re not alone in this experience.
