I think it would be useful to everyone to have another profile option to show preferences for/against solicitation from professionals and make that a filter option for pros in the search engine. Similar to the guest/host/public options.
Being able to mark oneself as open to solicitation could make it easier for potential clients to connect with an active professional cuddler. The only cuddle I've ever had through this site originated from a professional sending me a message stating that she'd be passing through my area and asking if I'd like to set up a cuddle when we'd had no previous communication. I can't find it now, but I believe I've recently read that that kind of solicitation is actually against the rules. (That pro has since been banned, but I don't know what for.) I'm glad I got that message, though, since cuddles are what I'm here for and that's the only one I've gotten in the four years I've been here.
Most potential clients are likely unskilled at advertising themselves, which is (at least part of) why they need to seek a professional cuddler. That burden of self-advertisement is quite tiring for those who always fail at it, and having the roles reversed can be quite refreshing. It can help those who feel unwanted to feel like they have some value even if it's monetary. Sending out message after message looking for enthusiasts and/or pros who are responsive is a lot of discouraging work for usually no gain. They may not be skilled enough to spark an interest in themselves, the people they message may be inactive, or the people they message may already be too busy to respond to additional messages. Receiving offers may be exactly what they want instead of more fruitless searching.
For professionals, being able to easily filter for those who are open to solicitation would make it easier to find clients. Not all potential clients will keep an eye on the Professional Cuddling forum looking for advertisement. (I know I never do since the chances of seeing a local one is so minuscule.) And not all potential clients have the confidence or mental/emotional energy remaining to reach out to pros. So giving pros allowance to directly search for and message people who have already expressed their openness towards communications from pros would increase their chances of finding clients when needed. If someone chooses to mark themselves as open to professionals, they're more likely to be responsive to the pros who want to reach out for clients without wasting a huge amount of time.
To allow for people's varying attitudes towards pro cuddlers, I suggest something more than a "allow solicitation from pros" checkbox. A drop-down list of three options with #1 being the default:
1. No communication from pros
2. Only friendly communication from pros (no solicitation)
3. Open to solicitation from pros
