Choosing Profile Photos:

** I come across people's profile photos that make look like they have a physical disability when they don't. **

Such as taking a photo that can make them look like they are in a wheelchair or are an amputee. Due to the photo angle, sitting in a chair resembling a wheelchair, etc.

If you don't care to come across such ways, or connect with people who'd reject for that, you do you. :)

And an advise to the other side: perhaps don't be so quick to judge and next. ^^

Profile Description:

  • Strive to hit key points while being concise, because people got many profiles to read through.

    There is an entire section on creating a profile in the second post in this thread. It was written for men professionals, but it basically applies to women too, and 3/4 of it applies to enthusiasts.

    @CuddleDuncan , @softlinen :)

    @softlinen I took a look at your profile. Feedback: I'd lose the last half body photo with just the bra/swim suit on at the beach/resort as it doesn't seem in line with the clothing terms and conditions here. Otherwise it's a well created profile I'd say.

    @softlinen - I thought your profile was ok and I did not think any photo was inappropriate. However, there are only so many clients they will be comfortable with your hourly rate. You might want to offer a discount for first-time cuddlers or when you are travelling and your client has to book a room. Your question might get more valuable responses in the Professional's forum.

    @softlinen your photos are all great.

    @Lovelight it is absolutely true that cuddling in only underwear/swimsuit is not permitted under the TOS. However, it is completely fine to be wearing a swimsuit in a photo, especially in context like the beach or a pool. What we don't want to see on here are sexy lingerie shots on a bed with pouting 'come hither' expressions.

    I’m a brand new pro cuddler in Canada! Still finding out what works best in a profile! I would love some feedback from anyone who can! Thanks in advance 💕💕💕

  • SimplyAriSimplyAri

    Thank you @UKGuy and @CuddleDuncan ! I appreciate the feedback!

    • I didn’t think my last photo broke any rules since it was a natural photo taken by the pool. 🤔

    • I will take the discounted rates into consideration! I already have discounts for multiple hrs and I’m totally open to discussing $/hr in direct messages but I don’t really get the first time discount.
      What do you guys think about returning clients discounts?

    @softlinen your photos do not break any rules. If you explore the site you will discover some quite salacious pictures, which yours are not. (Don't get me wrong, I like a salacious photo: but not here.)

    The purpose of the first-time discount is to reduce the risk to the buyer. This is nothing to do with cuddling, it's a general sales/marketing point. When you are considering buying something from somebody you have not bought from before, you are never really sure how it will turn out. You are taking a risk. Reducing the price reduces the risk, and therefore makes it easier for the potential customer to decide to buy. This is not necessary on subsequant occasions because the buyer knows what they will get and is happy about it.

    Good returning clients are very valuable, and must be looked after. Discounts is not a good way to achieve this. They are already happy to pay the price, and as a business you are looking to extract money from them. So take the money, and offer them something else.

    In the wider world of personal services, this is often accomplished by making the buyer feel special. "I don't normally do Friday evening bookings, but I will for you." I'm not suggesting that you should lie: on the contrary, don't. (Lying to anybody is wrong; lying to a customer is illegal; lying to a good customer is, additionally, madness.) I once saw this done beautifully in a posh shop in Florence: after the customer had bought some some vastly overpriced trinket, the assisant looked round conspiratorially, produced a little gift-wrapped gift from under the counter, and put her fingers to her lips in a 'shh' expression. I was drinking in the cafe opposite, and watched this happen to a dozen customers in a row.

    Another possibility is extra time. I had one regular professional cuddler "upgrade" me from a one hour session to a one hour cuddle, which made the session more like an hour and ten or fifteen minutes, by the time we'd said hallo, taken shoes off, washed hands, that kind of thing.

    Be careful to maintain boundaries in such matters.

    @softlinen , @CuddleDuncan I get the distinguish you are making CuddleDuncan, though my feedback was based on this part of the Terms and Conditions "You agree to only upload photos of yourself that are fully clothed." At the end of the day, it is up to the mods/admins here. My take was just a suggestion. :)

  • LovelightLovelight

    @Lollaa as they are now, your photos are on point. I agree with @UKGuy that professionals might get better feedback in the professional cuddling's section. :)

    @lovelight yes it all comes down to the interpretation of "fully clothed".

    I am reminded of the story of the British army colonel who, shortly before WW2, was discovered at 3am in the corridor of the best hotel in Cairo. He was stark naked, carrying a bottle of champagne and chasing a giggling, equally naked sex worker. The court martial people had trouble deciding on the charge, because they didn't want a bunch of salacious articles in the press bringing the army into disrepute. In the end they nicked him on the mundane grounds of being improperly dressed. However, his wily brief got him off by referring to the relevant paragraph in the regulations. "Officers are not required to wear uniform in public while off duty, providing they are suitably dressed for the sport in which they are engaged."

    By the way, just in case you don't know you can edit your post for up to 24 hours after making it, by clicking on the little gear icon at the top right of the post.

    @CuddleDuncan interesting, thanks for sharing. And I am aware of the edit. ^^

  • Cuddle_RNCuddle_RN

    @softlinen, I'm not a pro, but I took down a full body picture of myself in a longish tshirt and leggings because I was getting the wrong kind of attention. Every one of the "don'ts" in my profile is based on actual events lol. If you find this happening to you, I would consider changing your pictures. I wish we didn't have to, but 🤷‍♀️

  • BelizeanQueenBelizeanQueen

    Hey all! I’m open to suggestions with my profile as well :)

  • LovelightLovelight

    @BelizeanQueen looks fantastic. :)
