@EmmaCuddles It's been several years since I was on here, but having cuddled a bit before I can say that trusting your instincts and choosing someone whose conversation you enjoy was helpful for me when I was not a pro. Look for Karma and Friends, which both indicate someone with a record here. If someone is brand new to the site, has no pictures or profile content, no karma or friends, I would think twice about responding. That's just my two cents. Good luck!
@EmmaCuddles I experienced the same thing... a lot of messages and it was hard to filter and respond before I even fully set my profile up. I set boundaries in my profile and only respond to those who send more thoughtful messages and requests.
I'm just trying to figure out how to get anybody to cuddle with. I've sent messages to like everybody in the area and nobody replies ever. I think I have a good pretty good profile and I'm open to conversation but I just don't get responses at all.
@AXoshijuac I read your profile and I think it sounds really good. I’m sorry that no one is responding to you in your area. I definitely would. I think it takes time, especially if you are trying to meet other enthusiasts rather than pros. So don’t give up. That’s the only advice I have for you - sorry I can’t be of more help. 😊
@AXoshijuac Most female enthusiasts are buried under messages, so they may take a long time to respond, if ever. They're in high demand.
I'm a new "female" cuddle buddy, and not sure how to get started..?? I'm in the Westminster, Federal Hights area. I'm not set up for hosting. Does Anyone have any advice for me?
@Isabellemorna welcome to CC. For what I read on your profile, you’re interested in being a professional cuddler. If you go to page No. 1 in this post, you’ll be able to find great resources to get you started.
I'm not really sure if I want to be a pro or not. I don't know anything about being a cuddle buddy. I haven't had a cuddle session yet. I don't know if I will be good at it.
Thanks for the much needed information and I think that this is a really good and professional way of meet & greet. Alot of females are doing this everyday out there on there own. Women that are single moms,young women trying to make money for school and other reasons. Finding out about this site was great for me knowing that I can do this professionally and be safe while doing so.
WOW
It took me a few pages to realize how old some of these posts are.
Pancakes are great for Breakfast and in Football but I had no idea that cuddling and pancakes also go well together.
I saw a post from a cuddler who was banned over a year ago.
The other day while eating lunch at our local senior center, one of the women made a comment. She said that since her husband died, she misses his company. She was frustrated being alone. I thought what an excellent opportunity. If I had a business card indicating I was a cuddler, perhaps we could help each other. The card, in hand, indicates information and acts as a reminder, and she keeps it with her. Does this site have such a resource? I'm a retired graphic artist who communicates graphically. Is there a policy regarding me creating my own card? I figure something along the lines of my profile picture on one side (flush left), this site's logo, a comment saying something like >I am a cuddler<, >I am looking for cuddle buddies<, then the URL to this website.
If interested, look me up.<
Hopefully, this interaction would stimulate a conversation.
Hello I am having trouble getting new people to cudfle with. They have no karma ,no pic on profile ,nothing filled out. I need help trying to weed out & get some good cuddlers . I also need some karma as well.
Hello,I'm also having trouble getting new people to cuddle around gulf countries 😊
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows how long it typically takes for pro cuddler to get approved?
Good evening. So far every person that I have cuddle with has pushed the boundaries in someway or another. I’m getting a clear picture that these men are looking for more than just cuddling.
1 & 2 are the ones I have always done
@CuddleBaby7 make sure to report them. You don't have to leave them good karma..
Unpopular opinion incoming!
You’re looking for 150 an hour and it’s entered the cost territory of other activities not sanctioned by CC. I’m not telling you to lower your rates necessarily, just to consider what signals your rates are sending. Just like salary in job postings gives us as applicants signals about the job, your rates give men signals about your offerings. When your rates are on par with other “things”, people begin to expect the same types of service offerings since the price is the same.
I hope this helps a bit.
@Firebird97 IMO and knowledge you are correct. Including certain photos also, don’t play dumb Why ask for misunderstandings about what a cuddle with you will include? Pros are literally advertising what they offer and then cry about the abuse.
Rates are often based on geographic area. A cuddler in Los Angeles is going to charge more because everything is more expensive there. People charge what they can get - if they don't get business, they quit or lower their rates. Does someone charging less than $100 an hour send a message they are a subpar cuddler? No, and charging over $100 an hour doesn't make you a sex worker.
.
No charging over 100 alone doesn’t make you anything, but I never claimed it did. Just that it sends a signal (it could be the wrong one) that there’s something else going on. Same as is pointed out above, those really expensive hour rates don’t really align with the market.
As far as geography goes, do you know what other industries are charging in Ajax Ontario? Without asking to get banned here (because this is all FYI stuff), I can tell you that 150 is in a range of other activities in her region. IYKYK
@Firebird97 How long has this pro been in business? Is she newer or a veteran? Does she have another job, or is cuddling her only source of income?
I talked to a pro who charges $400 an hour and asked her about it. She said she prefers to have only a few regular clients and the high price discourages the bulk of people from messaging her.
You really can't judge by price. I have seen pros get banned on here for pretty obviously "offering more" who were charging $80 an hour. I have also seen pros charge more who were simply very attractive physically, so guys are willing to pay more.
There's a wide range of pricing here and just as wide a range of reasons for it.
Thinking that if a professionals' rate is above some arbitrary level implies they are offering non-permitted services is genuinely creepy.
Thinking that sex workers' rates 'should' be above professional cuddlers' rates merely demonstrates ignorance of both professions. (In practice there is a substantial overlap.)
However, most such comments are actually driven by misogyny or entitlement, and are a way of attacking professional cuddlers.
Cuddle professionals are free to set their own rates. As @WriterGF commments above, it's actually not at all rare for professionals to set very high rates to choke off demand, for any of a thousand reasons.
@EmmaCuddles- Ask for a photo if there isn't one on their profile. If they don't send you a reply with a photo, don't message them again. If they give you some line about their employer not allowing them to- BLOCK them! Do a reverse image search once you get the photo. ALWAYS check the national sex offender registry. Listen to your gut! If you feel like you're having to try "too hard" to get the information you need to feel safe- There's a reason for that! If you can find their last name via social media and know what city they're from, you can look on that county's website and see if they have a public criminal record that sets off any bells and whistles- This one isn't a "fail safe" though, as not everyone's on social media! Unfortunately, you can only do so much, but I'd start there! Good luck!!
@cuddleduncan @writergf - Both of you know this isn’t a discussion we can actually have on this platform. You will always be able to say more than I can here. I hope OP can get some context from a different perspective than the traditional CC mentality.
You all go about living in the world you want, sling the insults that make you feel powerful, but when ground chuck starts costing the same as wagyu; people change their expectations on the chuck.
@Firebird97 I'm just curious how you are so familiar with what sex workers charge in Ontario.
@writergf - I’m familiar with how the internet works 😉
@Firebird97 Okay, got it. Sorry, I have never had any reason to search the Internet for sex worker prices. By the way, using a "price of pieces of meat" analogy for pro prices isn't a great look.
@WriterGF I am reminded of Hamlet, which I once knew almost by heart. The phrase that pops out, of course, is "hoist by his own petard".
