Summer: the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August
Winter: the coldest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from December to February
Pro opens with a list... I am not the biggest fan of those, since they tend to look like Gish Gallops. I do like the comedic note of movies having more noise. I also wholly agree with the clothing point.
Whereas con opened with a well constructed formal case.
The festive and the traditions:
Con does well here with Christmas and New Year, then research to back up the massive rate of participation.
Pro counters with the existence of a bunch of summer holidays, but it's kinda thrown out there without trying to show any comparable in scale (con does good looking at the list for bad examples). He does better on saying Christmas is over hyped and pointing out breakups are more likely in winter.
Internet Feedback:
A nice bit of research, a bit too antadotal, but still good to see some work put in.
Pro counters with another browser, and con double checks (FYI, incognito mode isn't as incognito as you would hope...).
This point doesn't really hold up for me anyway as far as impacts go. If the debate went further, I doubt I would keep paying attention to it.
From there the debate continues, but by the end pro is pointing to things he asserted but did not turn into real arguments, and even uses his final round to just say "summer" which is better than forfeiting, but still seemed to be giving up.
Sources:
Con using sources like Pew Research really tipped this by showing very positive information about his Christmas point that he worked into his argument. Comparatively, pro's best source was that there were a bunch of unnamed holidays in summer, to which con did an excellent job cherry picking to demean them.

We've been informed that a source a user in this debate utilized (https://coffeemeetsbagel.com/blog/dating-statistics/7-popular-time-year-relationships-break/) was plagiarized from Benjamin Jorgensen, et al., which is posted at Bedbible Research Center (https://bedbible.com/breakup-statistics/).
Presumably based on the dates, Benjamin Jorgensen, et al., periodically updates their report.
FYI, I much prefer summer to winter... I just didn't see enough support for summer compared to winter.
When the debate ends, it will be 12/1. Happy winter I guess.
Before attempting to vote, I need to correct something: "If you don't wear enough the chilly wind might give you a cold/fever"
As a former medical professional, this is patently untrue. The type of illness referred stem from viruses, not cold air.

The problem with this assumption is that its the United States. The United States has a wide variety of different environments. Someone in Florida may prefer Winter, but many people in Michigan may prefer Summer. I personally hate both, as I live in Missouri, which was extremely hard to settle in in the first place because the summers were too humid, and the winters were just too cold.

Meanwhile, in Australia...
Some good points tho
Ohhh there was so much missed potential
I might have to make this debate myself
PRO has the much easier side. Don't screw this one up, Seldiora
I think I can take this one.
