What to do when a cuddler stands you up? Shouldn’t there be compensation for time wasted?

Someone literally called me underaged today. They didn’t even meet me. Probably saw me from afar and made up their mind that I was a catfish and underage. This pisses me off cos I traveled 45+ mins to get to this person only for them not to answer their phone or text when I got there. And they had the audacity to call me a catfish and underaged when the photos on my profile are literally recent photos from like August and September

    @callmelove As pro cuddlers are independent contractors, Cuddle Comfort has no legal standing to settle payment disputes between providers and clients, nor do we mediate them. It is suggested in the Terms of Service that the client pay half the session fee for ghosting or cancelling with less than 24 hrs notice, but as previously stated, we have no legal way to force them to do that.

  • There are definitely risks in this business. “Professional” cuddlers are often vulnerable in a variety of ways. The obvious one is physically when one arranges a meeting with a stranger….another one is the ghosting after plans are made. Both can be mitigated by careful screening, something many pros have told me they don’t want to spend the time doing.

    Reading karma, contacting a few of the pros who left comments to see how candid they can be…..as well as having either a phone call or video chat with a new client to gauge their fit for what you offer…..are ways to minimize the chances of disappointment.
