Pricing--possibly a dumb question

in General

Hello. I had a curiosity question about pricing. When I click on the search button on top and input my parameters, cuddles appear. Often there is a price listed for their services ($120 an hour, $90 an hour, etc...). They are usually the first hits--at the top of the page. I noticed these are the persons who have "pro" in their lower right hand corner of their picture. Those that do not have the price listed do not have "pro". My question is this..If there is no price listed, are these profiles of persons who are looking for a cuddler and are not "selling" their cuddle sessions? Put another way, If you're charging, do you have to be a "pro"?

    Pros charge.

    Enthusiasts do not.
    If you come across a non-pro profile with someone who is attempting to charge you or has rates listed in their profile, please report them.

    Yes: if you're charging, you have to be a pro.

    If someone is charging for cuddles on this website, they're either a pro (they have the pink P) or they're trying to cheat the website (no pink P).

    People who haven't registered as pros with the site cuddle for free (or do the paying).

    Thanks for the info.

    There are three types of members here: professionals, clients and enthusiasts. Some people fall into more than one group.

    I have a possibly dumb question... When we meet a cuddler for the first time, how do we broach the topic of the Pink P without being offensive?

  • CuddleDuncanCuddleDuncan Mod

    @UCpaaHVg6u0 I'm not quite sure what you mean. Could you be a little more specific?

    @UCpaaHVg6u0 I see what you did there you dirty bird 😂

    @CuddleDuncan I retract the question.

    Reiterating what Envie says, if there's a non-pro who charges on this site, they have to be reported. Also if there is a pro who charges for anything non-platonic or engages in non-platonic behavior at a paid session, even if the time is after the paid session (i.e. after the first hour of paid cuddles and right after), the site does not condone that and it is reportable.

    @UCpaaHVg6u0 The Pink Panther?! SCANDALOUS

    @squeakytoy In this part of the world it's nearly impossible to book a "reum" on short notice.

    I know you're joking, but...
    Airbnb shows 300+ for check in, today, in your city.

  • UCpaaHVg6u0UCpaaHVg6u0

    @MaullySterling There's still probably a glut of available hotel rooms but hopefully we'll have some kind of tourist season picking up again this year.

  • [Deleted User]squeakytoy (deleted user)

    @MaullySterling Woah! I had to check. Have you seen how cheap AirBnbs are here right now? Hosts must be having a baaaad time.

  • MaullySterlingMaullySterling

    Yep.
    I'm conflicted on the airbnb issue;
    I've had friends lose their crappy little apts, because some hipster evicted a 5 or 12 unit building, with the aspiration of being an Airbnb slumlord. It's karmic to see them go broke, now, the property back on the market.
    But the single moms with an in-law suite, who heavily relied on that little extra, I'm really feeling for them.

  • [Deleted User]squeakytoy (deleted user)

    @MaullySterling I agree entirely.

  • UCpaaHVg6u0UCpaaHVg6u0

    @squeakytoy @MaullySterling I see you two are in Toronto, probably the most beautiful city in North America that I've been to. Are there slums there? In Philly, Airbnb in conjunction with a general reversal of longstanding white flight has been inducing much renewal of blighted buildings, as well as new construction. Even with the horrors of riots and elevated shootings, flippers and developers are throwing wads of cash into the hood. I've worked for a slumlord as a handyman a few years back, and it was disgusting seeing these firetraps renting so high that they needed to crowd more tenants in. I did that for some cash when I was taking massage classes. What I can say unequivocally is that whatever it takes to bring investment into real estate is likely to make Philly a better place to live, although it's never going to be easy on those who make low wages. The same impetus that causes rents to rise is also going to induce more units to be available, eventually. What programs do they have for low income tenants?

    Got 3 words for Philly. HALL AND OATES

  • UCpaaHVg6u0UCpaaHVg6u0

    @pmvines Definitely my generation but before my time in Philly. I do recall seeing Todd Rundgren, though not around here. To be honest, I haven't been the hardy supporter of music that I was in my younger days. It's weird, therefore, that in the house I live in there have been regular parties of live music with Philadelphia Folksong Society members. For a time Kenn Kweder was a regular visitor in the house. Since the pandemic, things have been quiet here. Vaccinations are bringing the musicians back slowly.

    The Ford brothers have both acted against the city, and lower income ppl on many levels. They halted the plan for abandoned properties to be appropriated for affordable housing projects. Luckily there was too much uproar, when they tried to reduce the housing by selling properties off to developer buddies. This, added to the housing crisis we already had, with too high approval rates of condos, and an infrastructure that can't support it, has let to massive floodings, from moderate rainfalls, last few years. And that's just the obviously visible, we have many underlying issues.

    We have high priced rental units that sit empty, while the coffee shop staff can't afford to live less than an hour from work, unless they're students, living with guardians, and have limited housing costs.

    With COVID, anyone who could, moved home with parents. Or, if they have families of their own, taking that "work from home" time to move far from the city, for the first chance they've ever had, to own.

    The developers have been circling, gnashing their teeth at Kensington Market. The holdouts, keeping the personality of the neighbourhood, protecting and supporting small mom and pop shops, artist collectives, etc, while using committees and teamwork, to keep corporate chains out. Even turning the water off, over the Christmas holidays, for a month, to paying tenants, brought the neighbours together, delivering water daily, providing extra security, for when ppl came to start "accidental" fires, or bully some, into leaving.

    We have record homeless living in parks; landlords taking COVID bailouts, but refusing to drop rents by 5-10%, to get ppl back into them.

    Sustainable businesses on Yonge street with taxes tripled, are forced to close up, and leave, and more condos, yet the occupancy there, is low.

    @MaullySterling That sounds like a full-on collapse happening! I confess it was 1992 when I visited Toronto so a lot of years have slipped by since then. I was so enamored with everything that I saw then. Actually, I was there for the world convention of NA! It made Philly and NYC look even more disgusting than they already are, by comparison. I'm genuinely sad about what's happening in your city.
