So very true!
Wow @UKGuy how gracious and gentle your daughter is. That is such a realistic description of the older generation and our societal failings in supporting them in last parts of life.
@Babichev is right about that not being the type of older cuddles being discussed here and we all know that but thank you so much for sharing that. What a gift your daughter is.

I agree w / @creativecuddles -- it's not about age , but about personality & heart . I'd rather cuddle an older person than a young person who isn't nice
This kitten would love senior cuddles!
After seeing the title of this thread, I got to thinking that a good mascot for the site would be "Senor Cuddles".
@spuds!!!!!!
Next time, start a new thread......
"I saw an old thread [link] which talked about senior cuddles. Made me think a good mascot for the site would be Senor Cuddles. Any other good mascot ideas out there?"
Let’s be real—ageism is alive on this site. Most users are younger and it’s rare to find one that understands the safety and comfort that can come with an older cuddler. In my experience most young users avoid mature cuddlers.
Many of the women claiming this site welcomes older men are “professionals” that are here to make money off anyone willing to pay. If they truly cared they’d offer free cuddling to older people who need it the most!
At what age exactly are we supposed to start expecting/demanding free cuddles? 59 is not exactly a senior nowadays.

Then it shouldn't be so hard to find someone
@CozyCuddlyMN your point is well made. However, I discovered quite by accident that my odds are better offering hugs to random older women irl than reaching out to enthusiast women on here. It probably makes sense for seniors to invent our own site/group/club that allows older people who may not be tech savvy, but would really appreciate being held, to find each other for cuddles. I found it very rewarding to cuddle an older lady who had not been in a man's arms for decades. There was no money involved so I was quite clear that she honestly appreciated me, and I truly appreciated her.
Let’s be real—ageism is alive on this site... most young users avoid mature cuddlers.
A personal preference isn't an -ism. Stop trying to be a victim.
AARP sent me stuff before I turned 50. I guess that makes me a senior citizen.
@starrynitecuds Gabo gabo gabo gabo, one of us, one of us....
I only feel some type of way about age when they are really young. I passed ip on a few 19 year olds.
@CozyCuddlyMN Pros can offer free cuddles to those they choose, but claiming they don’t care when they are being compensated for their time is a horrible thing to say. Nobody should have to cuddle anyone they don’t want to.
Sure beats the freshman cuddles....
I am 46 and get a lot of senior men contact me. I don't believe there are any cuddle websites that are specific to just senior cuddlers. More than likely it is because there isn't enough older professional cuddlers to make it profitable for the web creators. There is a wide range of ages on here though. Hopefully you can find the perfect cuddler for you!!!
@bigArch I have cuddled many Seniors from this site before.
I can understand that finding an enthusiast to cuddle can take time and patience. As far as I have noticed, there is no sites catering to a specific age group. There are already so few cuddle sites as it is and most the others don't have enthusiasts at all and are often more pricy than here.
Yes, I am a pro. I do cuddle people of all ages (18+), races, genders, backgrounds, etc. I absolutely love cuddling and strive to help people, but if I was not being paid for my time, I would not usually have the time nor money (for gas, higher water bill from extra laundry & showers, other related expenses) to do so.
If I was rich and didn't need to work or worry about extra expenses, I'd honestly probably be an enthusiast and just wouldn't drive outside my hometown. 🤷♀️ If I ever win the lottery... that will be the sign. 🤣
I am an enthusiast who is eighty. My favorite cuddler is a pro who is 71. We seem to understand each other. I have cuddled with younger pros but seem to go back to the older woman.
I believe some of the issue might be that the majority of women on here are typical younger and the majority of the men are older. I would think this would also differ depending on the area that you are in. I think that wanting to stick with more mature cuddlers is wise since they don't ID on this site and you are always risking cuddling with an underage cuddler which could cross the line even with it being platonic cuddling. I do worry about the safety of our youth on this site at times.
Our society is such that two people who desperately need each other could meet casually and never know it. What do you guys think of this shirt? https://www.amazon.com/Life-Snuggle-Vintage-Hugs-T-Shirt/dp/B07DNR177H/
@1_teddybear Love the shirt!

That almost kind of happens in the movie Made In Heaven with Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis. Good '80s movie.
Yes I’m very much a Senior and have had amazing cuddles with Senior men (one in particular who is older than me, the sweetest kindest and most interesting man!) I accept the fact that there’s plenty of ageism involved in cuddling, whatever - to each his own. Cuddling is to warm the soul, to feel cared about, it’s a mental connection also. When people stop making cuddling about physical attraction, then they will enjoy it more and understand that a warm nurturing hug can make you feel good regardless of looks and age. The problem is usually the expectations that factor in to who you’re choosing. Too many people coming here looking for something different than just cuddling.
@carrieanne your chronological age may say senior, but your heart and spirit are younger than most
@pmvines and @carrieanne , Agreed.
@carrieanne and @pmvines 💯
For a minute I thought this discussion was about a very famous Spanish cuddler (“señor” cuddles 😬)
@Maverick07 Hahaha! Good one!🤣
