@CuddleGuy585 - How did it wake you up?
I have no problem with anyone, pro or not, messaging me first. I travel around the country for my work, and it's nice to get to know others, especially in areas I may be working from time to time.
@CuddleGuy585 you can definitely report that. I know it’s not usually a big deal but it really should be reported solely because it gives pros a bad name and it takes away from the enthusiast experience for those that are here mainly for enthusiasts.
Does it really matter that much?
Attention all pros: feel free to message me if you want to.
I'm a pro and I've occasionally reached out to various people if I find something on their profile particularly entertaining. For instance, I came across a profile saying he likes to cuddle during jury duty and I audibly laughed, so I sent him a message and told him so. I just ended it with "happy cuddling".
From what I can remember, professionals aren't allowed to initiate sessions unless they have reason to believe said person might be interested...if I saw a fellow broncos fan or Pitch Perfect enthusiast I would probably reach out...but again it would be unlikely I would say anything more than hey look we're similar and then leave it at that...
On a side note, the thought of a paid service where professional cuddlers call you and wake you up, sounds like a possible new revenue stream! 🤨
@lyn912 I have not because of the rule, but have often thought it is sad that we are forbidden to. I am a friendly person and would reach out like that.
As it is, all I do is send a note to someone who has visited my profile, local or not, and wish them happy cuddling. I have made a few friends that way. I’m confused that someone on a cuddle site (a friendly thing, in my perspective) would be offended by a message in friendliness.
I don't think the mods care if pros reach out to members to initiate conversation, welcome them to the site, etc.
What they don't want is a pro reaching out to everyone in her radius announcing her rates or trying to seal the deal with people who have not shown interest in her services. That's it.
@Rezz exactly 👍🏻👍🏻 For those that don’t fully understand the rule:
As a pro, we are ok to talk with others about random stuff if we want. Like, they have a dog in their photo, or their fave band is amazing or they said something awesome in the forums. We can talk, but the rule for pros is that we can not advertise to anyone through messages unless they looked at our profile or initiated conversation with us.
I have zero issues with a pro reaching out to me. Considering a huge majority of the “pros” don’t even have the decency to respond to a booking request, at least if they contact me, I know they clearly are interested in a session.
@garymoore Tip, avoid sending any pro a booking request without at the very least messaging them to check their availability and introducing yourself first.
I was awakened when I received an email saying that I had a message on CuddleComfort. While ads are normal on many free apps, etc..... When this is a legit work or personal email, fine.....but don't need to open an email and next thing I know I am at a Pro booking screen, from someone not even in my city. I had to open their profile, which I never opened before, in order to report, all the while hoping it would not indicate an interest and receive more emails.
@BuffaloBuddy you can actually report them through the message they sent. You don’t have to go to their profile! There will be little dots to the right of the message she sent you where you can report. Avoid visiting her page in case she takes that for interest.
@BuffaloBuddy - If I had audio notifications turned on for EMail, I would never sleep.
Can you turn off email notifications?
@Rezz In several instances, pros don’t respond even after just an introductory message with an inquiry about availability within certain dates. I only message pros that have been online within the last month, so they aren’t necessarily inactive. I’m not sure what the answer is, but it can be frustrating. If the pro doesn’t want to see anyone, maybe there should be an inactive or unavailable button on their profile.
I just messaged a pro slightly outside my area to suggest she remove that she welcomed "kinksters" from her profile. I told her someone is going to red flag this and you will end up with mods on your back.
I suppose if you just joined and are tip toeing around the sight like many do it might be a concern. If you have been here for years I don’t know how you can keep track of all the peeps you visited and have visited you over all the years 🤔
