THAT'S IT. I'M HIRING A MALE PRO!!!

[Deleted User]ImajenMoon (deleted user)
in General

I find that I TOTALLY sympathize with some of the fellas on the site: Enthusiasts aren't showing up! Setting my "pride" aside (because I always thought that male attention was a "given"!), I have now reconciled myself with the concept of PAYING FOR CUDDLING!!!
I'm in southern Ohio, I've got $65, and am willing to negotiate! lol
What the heck? I never thought I'd be PAYING to get someone to cuddle me!!! Welp... Life goes on, and we all learn, right?
Dead serious, here... Any "Pros" in Ohio? I've set aside money to get my Cuddle Needs met!!!!

    @ImajenMoon Good!! :) And good luck!

    @nurturingman got a client for you. It's gotta be less than 1,500 miles .....

  • sunnysideupsunnysideup

    I never thought that I'd once pay for a professional cuddler, either. At first it felt like a reconciliation, but it really isn't! There are some amazing professionals that put a lot of consideration into cuddling and also forgo other job opportunities to be a professional cuddler.

    Best of luck and happy cuddling!

    @ImajenMoon If you need help to improve your chances of finding enthusiasts or try new approaches you're welcome to send me a message. Either way all the best with finding pros to cuddle with.

    Well you are probably eliminating 80% of the population by requiring them to NOT be vaccinated. That’s going to make it tougher. I’d think that even non-vaccinated people would prefer the other person to be vaccinated because … well they are vulnerable to infection. But what do I know. As you say, it’s everyone’s choice how they see the world.

  • Mike403Mike403

    @dave31415 - I rolled my eyes at that one too. I thought the anti-vaxers were about personal choice. What if it's my choice to be vaccinated?

  • nurturingmannurturingman

    @CuddleDuncan Even if she could afford to fly me in a private jet, she wouldn’t want to cuddle with me for the reason @dave31415 mentioned.

    Still, I’m happy to see a woman say she’s going to hire a male professional cuddler!

  • LovelightLovelight

    @dave31415 yeah that's likely one of the things that's gonna make it a lot harder for her.

    @Mike403 well... who @ImajenMoon chooses to cuddle with is ultimately her choice. I haven't read that she's against someone choosing to get vaccinated, though it seems she so isn't a fan of it. Though I've also seen people who don't want to cuddle with someone who is unvaccinated, which is also their choice and can limit their options as well.

    All in all, I don't think that this post is about finding a solution to the lack of enthusiast cuddlers. Rather looks like just a focus on finding a professional cuddler. So I'll see myself out unless OP needs to talk about it or has interest to try things to improve her chances.

    I would never cuddle with someone who refused to cuddle with people who are vaccinated against covid.
    Its like saying you wont' cuddle with someone who had the polio vaccine.

    I think that as others have mentioned, your vaccine preferences eliminate the majority of cuddlers, whether enthusiast or pro.

  • [Deleted User]ImajenMoon (deleted user)

    Oh...okay. i see what you mean. That makes things a lot clearer. Thanks for the feedback. I can see how that would be off-putting for some...
    After the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment, Thalidomide, and Guardisil, not to mention the millions that have died of malaria in Africa--with NO ONE working toward a vaccine for that, I stand by the decision to be leery of any rushed, EUA vaccines. To each their own, but it does make things make a little more sense, this lack of cuddling I'm experiencing.
    Thanks, folks!

    @Lovelight - The vaccine misinformation has gotten out of control. Suddenly people think that a vaccinated person is too risky?

  • LovelightLovelight

    @Mike403 apparently it seems some do or refuse for whatever reason.

  • [Deleted User]CharlesThePoet (deleted user)

    @ImajenMoon

    I don't agree with your conclusions, but I certainly understand the history that leads you there.

    So far I haven't had any side effects with my vaccinations, they have managed to keep my mother COVID free.

    On the downside, no mutant super-powers have manifested yet either...

  • [Deleted User]creedhands (deleted user)

    Whoever passes up the opportunity to cuddle @ImajenMoon is seriously missing out. Just thought I would throw that out there.

    As for the vaccine thing, when I got Covid, the doctor explained it to me like this (because we are 90% sure I got it thru someone who was vaccinated):
    The person who is vaccinated may still get COVID, but may not show any symptoms because of their vaccine. Therefore, they can spread it to others without knowing they are infected in the first place. (My employee lived with 3 unvaccinated people who had covid at the same time. He was vaccinated because his job required it. White he showed no symptoms, the timing made sense that he could have passed it from them to me.)

    Is it possible I got it from somewhere else? Yes, anything is possible. But from what I know about timing, proximity, and masking, I believe it to be unlikely.

    And in case you are wondering, I am not an anti-vaxxer. I'm just trusting what my doctor told me (and a pharmacist later confirmed this).

  • [Deleted User]CharlesThePoet (deleted user)

    COVID, vaccinations, and protective protocols/best practices have been hashed out, in a lot of places far better suited for it in these forums.

    Short answer: Vaccinated, masked, distanced, and wash your hands is the best practice. Nothing is certain, but better odds are better odds. Everything else is, at best, wishful or mystical thinking.

  • [Deleted User]ernesto_2 (deleted user)

    @creedhands yes, a vaccinated person may still contract/carry COVID. They're also (a) less likely to actually suffer any adverse affects from the disease, and (b) if symptoms are present, they are less likely to be serious or life-threatening.

    No vaccine, ever, in the history of medicine is 100% effective. Which is why it is still suggested that folks wear masks when in close proximity to others, and to maintain 6' of distance, even after receiving the vaccine.

    However, -NOT- being vaccinated renders you solely at the mercy of your immune system with no improved defenses. And consider, alcohol, other drug use, depression, environmental factors, etc can SUPPRESS your immune system's ability to respond to an infection. So it's really a poorly calculated risk to walk around unvaccinated.

  • Mare_BearMare_Bear

    Sorry, I only cuddle with people who have a contagious cold 😯🙄

  • [Deleted User]ImajenMoon (deleted user)

    Awwww, @creedhands , you make me blush!!! LOVED IT!!!! EVERYWHERE!!!! WOOOOHOOOO!!!!
    heeheehee!!!
    @CharlesThePoet , damn. I was looking forward to your being able to see all the way over to Ohio!!! :)
    lol
    My daughter always tells me "PUT AWAY THE HAMMER, IMAJEN!!!" But I figure that here, we're all adults and are allowed to have our own opinions.
    Besides, this wasn't about the vaccine, it was about my STARVING for cuddles, and facing the Truth that I just may have to PAY TO GET SOMEONE TO COME OVER HERE AND SQUEEZE ME!!!! lol Talk about a blow to an Ol' Girl's Pride! lol

  • quixotic_lifequixotic_life

    @ImajenMoon ~ Huh... You know, I'd kind of thought about it like that (with some extra nonsense thrown in too). In the end though I just don't agree with any of the not getting the vaccine arguments (at this point I'm fully vaccinated, and of course I have a need to lean heavy toward my own bias and that of science - but whatever) ~ not the reason I'm replying. I'm replying to tell you I appreciate you and love how you responded to those criticizing your choices. Good for you for being honest and open, while sharing/explaining your [contrary] point of view and above all for doing so with a heap of kindness and a sprinkle of spunk. I just adore you!!! 🥰

    Just for the record: vaccinated people do not shed the vaccine nor do they shed the spike protein. This is not a matter of opinion, it’s a matter of fact.

    Thank god for that @Mike403
    Be safe out there you guys whatever you choose to do!

    @ImajenMoon I'm also going to pay for cuddles and it's going to be great. I hope you find someone to squeeze you just the way you need!

  • [Deleted User]creedhands (deleted user)

    Fyi- I don't need pay to cuddle. Although I wouldnt turn down a juicy ribeye steak dinner, either.

  • Mike403Mike403

    This creature is always begging for a cuddle when I'm trying to work.

  • BabichevBabichev

    The only male pro within 100 miles of my location is brand new, has no karma, and his profile says he charges $400/hr. I don’t think so.

  • LetsholdeachothLetsholdeachoth

    Now you have a very small idea of how men feel on here

  • NicoSnuggsNicoSnuggs

    @Babichev - The mRNA coding of spike proteins may not ‘shed’ in the sense that others use the word, but a small number of vaccinated people can unfortunately spread the virus, per your article.

    These are the words of Carolyn Coyne, a professor of molecular genetics and biology at Duke University, in the article itself:

    “Carolyn Coyne previously told USA TODAY that spike proteins do stay in the body for some time.
    But the proteins are eventually broken down, and they cannot be transmitted to another person.

    [However] there is still a small chance that fully vaccinated people can transmit the coronavirus.
    As of April 26th, 2021, about 9,200 of the more than 95 million Americans who had been fully vaccinated reported “COVID-19 breakthrough infections.”
    The CDC says that’s because, “while these vaccines are effective, no vaccine prevents illness 100 percent of the time.””

    You are mixing two different things.

    Vaccinated people do not shed the vaccine nor do they shed the spike protein from the vaccine to others. THAT is what I was pointing out.

    Vaccinated people who become infected with COVID can transmit the virus to others although it now appears that is much less likely than was previously thought. AND vaccinated people are much less likely to become infected in the first place.
