There are a lot of reasons why people would pay for someone to have dinner with them. While that's not the purpose of this website judging people who do and those who offer those services doesn't make you better than them. Live and let live people.
It's no one's business how anyone spends their money or why.
@Sashamcgee: 👍🏽 So long as it's platonic, there's no reason to ban. Sure, it's always a bit tragic when someone has to pay for basic companionship—but why take even that option away from them?
Yes people should be banned on the grounds of parsimony if they complain about what people charge.
Hmm... friendly companionship is as necessary and therapeutic as cuddling. It's nice people are offering these things.
@RaindropSweetie
If you have to pay them to be there, they aren’t your friend.
One of you is having a friendly meal, the other is having a business meeting...
Agree 100% with Charles T. Very well put. Ideally, I think, cuddling should mean roughly the same to each person. Each person puts the same emotional energy into it. I don't see how that can happen with a pro, since the motivations are very different on each side. She is being nice because you are paying her to be so. In truth, she sees you as a client and is reeling you in so she can get some easy money. I saw a profile of one pro who wants $100 before she will watch a movie with you. Are there really people out there who will pay that kind of fee just to watch a movie with a woman? Another one wants $50 before she will talk to you for 20 minutes on Skype. Who would pay that? Why? It seems crazy to me.
Yeah paying is rather unsettling for me. When i pay for service i know exactly what to expect, nothing more nothing less. So for dinner i feel it be difficult to measure before hand or for a movie.
Any females in the NYC area, there are actual sexual (repeat) offenders on this site. One went by the name of "Ben Harrison" and "Benjamin Plastic." He will not take "no" for an answer. Do NOT host. I know his information. I would issue a restraining order but then he'd know my last name. BEWARE. Never agreed to "dry hump."
@EmpathJ tell the moderators
@BashfulLoner Already did
Good
Best that we still inform the masses about some of these people. If they're going after pros, they'll go after enthusiasts too.
Just because you pay for a service doesn't make it any less authentic.
🙄🙄🙄 I will always say this.
Why do people care so much? 😆
If it's PLATONIC and not hurting anyone... Mind your business.
Live the life you want. SIMPLE.
It's not a big deal until you scrutinize everything to the point where everyone is just exhausted over the same subject matter brought up all the time.
@MissAdventurous I totally agree. Why do some complain about pros when it does not affect them? I think it is because some cherish and even love their misery and feel compelled to share their negativity with the world. Personally, I really do not worry if a pro is paid two cents or a thousand to meet for dinner—I will still wake-up tomorrow. What others do outside my sphere is others’ prerogative.
I have heard of paying people handsomely to stand in the from of the line for iPhone or concert tickets. Between that and standing in line 72 hrs without being able to pee or walk around the block, I would rather pay someone. Or simply do without lol
@MissAdventurous @FunCartel yup I agree.
I am not complaining, i think the service is valuable but there are reasons i don’t really consider it.
Thank you all for helping to keep our community more friendly. As that’s all we’re here for. It’s going to especially be a put off to potential new cuddlers. I know that some people get the wrong idea about what our community really is. They assume and put up a profile. Most of us that have been here just want to keep our cuddle community comfortable and inviting.

Above profile does not have professional badge yet has in job description: Pro Cuddler. Her picture is also inappropriate.
MOD: modified for content [reurbo]
@DarrenWalker and @Sashamcgee I agree
Heres an inappropriate profile. https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/Jeremiah_23nate The profile pic explains it all.
@Kense. I don't think I am knocking anyone if they are paying rates to talk on the phone, coffee, wedding date etc. It is borderline escorting here lol. Kinda extreme. Now the topic on inappropriate profiles everyone keep up the work to report. I actually reported of a picture of a very suggestive pose and attire of a woman.
@MrCuddlenity Yeah, but I looked good right?
seems like half of the people on this forum post are deleted users
Does this meet the criteria of in appropriate
@BashfulLoner. I think it is inappropriate. She didn't have the P by her profile and all professionals must have one face photo and it looks like she doesn't. She needs to be reported
@SoulcuddlerZ I don’t know if this shayee person was reported yet so here it is
https://www.cuddlecomfort.com/RaeBoogieWitAHo
I think the name violates TOS.
@FunCartel I was going to report that one too but I let it go with nothing else to really go on. Odd that we had a, um, "HoLover" trolling on the forums earlier...
