@frogtide 🌌 🌌 🌌 ♥️ ♥️ hug!
The chance of cuddles, as nearly non-existent as it is.
@squeakytoy @cuddles_ndream @Catloaf thank you for your lovely words, and don't worry. I'm not leaving, I'm just recognising that I'm not here as much as I was.
For those who are miserable, depressed, or lonely (all of which I was, and still am), this thread might help a little:

Two weeks ago I was on holiday with an enthusiast I met here on CC. Last week I had a cuddle with an enthusiast I met here and a professional I met elsewhere but who is here. At the weekend I had a very personal and wonderful five hour whatsapp convo with a professional who I met elsewhere but is here. Monday a long conversation on here with a new enthusiast who is having a very difficult time at home. Last night I went out for dinner with an enthusiast friend who no longer cuddles that I met here. This week I'm seeing the holiday enthusiast again and I have a cuddle arrranged with another enthusiast.
Yes, I do live in a good place for this kind of thing and yes it would be a lot harder if you are in Moose Droppings, Arkansas. But look at my profile: I'm a fat middle aged man with depression, dysthymia and anxiety who got dumped. If I can do it .... well as a mattter of logic it doesn't actually mean you can, but come on, meet me half way here.
@CuddleDuncan although I know you were talking about me earlier to try & paint me in a bad light, I didn’t take it personal 1 bit because I know a lot of what you say isn’t true , the honest part about it was that I did make many posts (in hopes to make it fun & create engagement) some with humor / some with sillyness / others with heart felt topics / … when I got accused of making many posts, or being told that the posts I was making already existed, I went ahead to the forum finding & in search of threads that were similar to what I was thinking or found interesting / I was than accused of reviving old posts, so I realized this is a no win situation … you also tried painting me as a misogynist, I couldn’t even bother to adress it that was pretty humorous to me & I didnt know if it was bait for a reaction or your genuine thought of me …. To that I thought - this guy thinks that disagreeing with any female would make a person a misogynist- just want you to know that its ok to have an opinion and agree or disagree with a topic or comment , regardless the gender … ive seen 2 pros in the threads kindly disagree with you, I will not name them but one of them stated that although they understand you are very pro female, you cannot compare the work of a doctor or medical professional to cuddling (this was a pro) another one called you out on another subject which I rather not say as I’m being mindful … in order words you don’t have to be a doormat (respectfully) to stand in solidarity … an issue I have is being attacked, at first I ignore it (especially because its online) but after a while , what happens when you corner someone / a person / even animals / a being ? Eventually they’ll lash out, the only one I feel I owe a genuine apology to is squeakytoy (I don’t feel I was wrong in the situation) but the way a carried myself towards her in that particular moment of trying to get at anyone getting at me was completely wrong ) I felt at the time I’m going to give back the same exact energy to anyone coming with such energy , & that day I got timeout for 10 days (I didn’t get banned like you mention above) I feel if someone is going to speak on something they should be 100% completely honest & not add or subtract on the realities … I decided to take a break beyond those 10 days which lasted for months , during that time I found an incredible passion so maybe it was a blessing in disguise … & I would also like to add that I actually changed my name way before that altercation , I even made a thread asking for suggestion what should I change it to … when I came back I realized squeaky became a mod (obviously well deserved) & although at times I feel little darts here & there, not once , not even one single time has she tried to use her position or power to try & “get back” at me … Never … she is such a professional, yesterday I clicked on her profile to share my thoughts & send her a bunch of hugs & love regardless if she decided to respond or not, & before I could proceeded I decided not to because I felt that I was going to start off defending why I did what I did … I than thought about making a post asking the community (would you apologize to someone if you’ll start off by defending some of your actions at the moment / at the same time?) I immediately felt like I was going to be accused of baiting & so on & so forth , so I kept quiet about & didn’t make any post … recently someone I highly respect told me alot of things, but 2 things that stood out was that 1 - they always knew my participation will attract the attention of the mods, & 2 - I kinda stand out from the community instead of being a part of it … I’m extremely limiting my posting now, I think twice & re-read Atleast a couple times before doing so, & too many things have been going on recently to do anything besides bonding & being friends in a niche world we’re a part of, that’s my peace - sending blessings your way 🌌
@cuddles_ndream my apologies for saying you were banned, I thought that is what had happened. My mistake.
While I was writing that last post I wasn't thinking of you at all under this name, I didn't know it was you. Anyway, I'm delighted you are here. You made this forum a better place to be, and I absolutely believe you are a part of this community. I never thought of you as a misogynist, I have no idea why you think I would. As you rightly say, a man and a woman disagreeing doesn't make anybody anything, it's just a difference of opinion.
@CuddleDuncan 🍻 🌌 ty !!!! hug!
@cuddles_ndream big hug!!
I am desperate to get some time to cuddle and just let the stresses of the day off my shoulders.
I sincerely love all those options!!! I so love cuddles and the connections built with people. Yes, I’m a pro, but I completely adore cuddles - it has never been work to me. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know and chat on the forums too. It’s all a win/win!
I really like this poll by @cuddles_ndream . I am pleasantly surprised by the results. Not what I expected as I posted earlier. Great poll.
Thank you soo much @OhioMike 🙂
