Curious - How many cuddle session occur per week by location? Of those, how many list Karma?
Pro or enthusiast? Probably hard to know if they list Karma.
Back in the olden times of CC , a member @respectful , use to keep us updated on all kinds of stats like these . He literally was must read forum!
I wish we could have him do these stats for us for the CC site again. I’m my opinion we have some members attempt to imitate his style which is ok I guess , but …
His stuff was definitely original. 👍😊
@Mark i wish you could let him have access to whatever he needs to crunch numbers for the members here ! It is good stuff and brought that sense of community here !
The busiest areas for cuddling are both in the US: the northeastern and southwestern metropoleis.
I don't know how many cuddles result in Karma but the proportion is low. 10%? 20%?
Olden times were probably before paid cuddling? Opening that up is a potential Pandora's Box.
Any chance that CC aggregate statistics might be available? How about these?
Total number of profiles on CC? Percentage of active versus dormant accounts for men and for women? (active meaning activity in the last month) Number of active male enthusiasts versus active female enthusiasts? Percentage of female enthusiasts versus pros? Average number of banned accounts per month, male and female? Average number of enthusiasts banned for being untagged pros per month?
Inquiring minds want to know
I read here that one of the site members used to run those stats just for S&Gs I assume.
Then he got a life.
Dang
@respectful aka stat man
So here's the question. Does anyone else care about getting those stats? Do you care enough to help pay for respectful's time collecting and processing the data?
I do not personally , it's not something that enters my thoughts as being important to me
If no one else is interested, then I just need to decide how much it matters to me. If I do it I can just keep the results to myself.
Not exactly a hot topic so I'm not sure how many will chime in. But I think people will enjoy viewing fun stats like that and will appreciate the work.
The posting of stats may trigger some debates and hopefully a couple good fights but that would just be the cherry on top.
I just figure it would be good to know if 99% of all active female accounts were pros. It would be good to know if the ratio of men to women here was 20 to 1. It would be good to put personal results into context.
@1_teddybear - I work with data analytics nearly every day professionally. Manually collecting and analyzing CC data would be pretty easy and straightforward compared to my last consulting engagement (aggregating tens thousands of service invoices, vehicle telemetry data, HR records and time sheets to model and optimize staffing and fleet planning).
I’m taking off today on a 5 day cycling adventure but I will have some down time when I get home and I can take a look at it.
kewl, thanks @JohnR1972 Have a great trip.
A true evaluation will probably require guesstimating unavailable stats and possibly interviewing random people about their habits and experiances here in order to assist with that
I ran some stats on males a few weeks ago. The results were quite shocking. I'm on vacation right now, but was considering posting about it, eventually.

@SunsetSnuggles I am curious what you found. Even if you don't post it, pls DM me.
@respectful = cuddle comfort royalty 👑
@Morpheus well yea, but he's also warm and thoughtful. Many people that have been here a while are a little prickly... but he is someone I wish I could hang out with.
@1_teddybear
Agreed
Seconded.
@Morpheus @1_teddybear @SunsetSnuggles Feeling loved.
Something that makes stat collection a bit tricky is that the search only includes people who have logged in recently, so to get a valid data set you need to repeat it many times over a month or so to include the people who don't log in very much.
I just did a quick check for female cuddlers, and the search stopped at about 2500 just from the last day. 77% of them are professionals, but that doesn't tell you very much, since they probably log on more frequently than non professionals.
@respectful thank you my friend
@respectful Thank you for that... I was actually expecting that this would involve programming something that would do the grunt work automatically. Assuming you don't have direct access to the site database, if you set your filter to look for everyone regardless of distance or time, that would yield the entire database if you keep scrolling. But each reference could then be selected and reviewed (Assuming they aren't hidden, or you aren't blocked)... but come to think of it who would block Respectful?
@1_teddybear "if you set your filter to look for everyone regardless of distance or time, that would yield the entire database if you keep scrolling" -- unfortunately it stops after a certain amount, which makes it impossible to get all the data at once.
@1_teddybear "come to think of it who would block Respectful?"
After I went through the data originally, several people did actually block me!
It's pretty clear that, without direct access to the site database, comprehensive data would be difficult to obtain. But i'm curious if the questions I was interested in are the same as others, or are there other questions better answered?
I am expecting that #1 and 2 are not available. And #5 and 6 are only available for the time period when data is being collected. Respectful has already given a preliminary answer to #4.
But are there other questions that are desirable and answerable that you can think of?
@1_teddybear #6 may need different wording. Once someone is reported, their account goes to paused. Some just haven’t applied. Some are actually already cuddling and collecting money. Two different things. So maybe two different questions here. Some are never banned, they just apply and problem is solved.
For me, no the data does not really matter. But, a lot of times some people are reaching out to many people being inappropriate. So once you start collecting data, let me know and I’ll let you know the banned number per month on my messages. Sometimes once I’m chatting with someone, something seems off, then next thing I know, they are banned. So someone reported them before they reached that level with me.
I could also pull data on some of the stuff for my area, if it doesn’t get too time intensive.
@CuddleHugs01234 I very much appreciate that you are open to the inquiry. I wasn't sure if anyone would share my interest in numerical context.
@respectful I can't believe several people have blocked you. They must have dug hard to find something to be upset with you about. I really liked that you got all that data together; it was interesting. I am impressed by the effort you made to do that.
