Legit Pro’s

in Pro Cuddling

Lately, I have been having more issues with pro-cuddlers. To me a pro, should well act as a professional…. Meaning:

1.) Timely communication, don’t say “Maybe next Monday or Tuesday”, I reply “both work” and never hear back, Monday and Tuesday pass.

2.) Some pros will only be guest or public. I’m all good with that, I realize their situation may not be ideal to host. My situation does not allow me to put hotels on my credit card (separated but share money and don’t want the hassle). If your a pro, and I’m willing to pay more for you to book, is this a fair expectation as I am a consumer?

3.) Recently, I was working to set up with a pro, then late in the conversation they tell me “my mom lives with me and will be here”. To be clear, I’m not looking for physical intimacy, but do believe cuddle experience are often intimate. For me it’s a deep state of relaxation, not frequently achieved in my high stress life. Had a pro do this, said I want to think through having some one there so said no to meeting I wanted to think about it. Came around a week or so later and said, “okay”. After that they seemed annoyed.

4.) Pricing, the site suggest $85/hour, I’m fine with that and higher. But when some one is new to the site has little to know Karma, what’s the thought process on charging the same or higher than Pros that have been on the site for a while with consistent karma. I imagine there is a vetting process to be a pro, seems like there should be some market based pricing based on a couple factors, like experience (time on site) and Karma.

In all these cases, as a customer, I feel there could be a better experience. I’m not one to message complaints or leave bad karma. Are my expectations too high, or are the sights expectations/requirements too low, both, in the middle…

What do you think??

    The field of pro cuddling is in an embryonic state. It’s new. Literally anyone can set themselves up as a pro cuddler, there’s no requirements. As a result, there are no standards.

    Some pros take what they do very seriously and conduct themselves in a very professional manner. Unfortunately, judging from the complaints we receive, many take it very casually and the result is a frustrating experience for potential clients.

    If there are pros in your area who have lots of karma, chances are they are the ones who have been doing this for awhile and have good customer service. The ones who take it seriously are also frustrated when others are flakes, it reflects poorly on all of them. They are trying to promote and maintain a level of professionalism and don’t appreciate when that is undermined by someone with a lax attitude and poor business practices.

    Those who do not conduct themselves professionally will probably fall by the wayside. Seek out those who are reliable and when you find them, stick with them.

    @Beach34 I’m sorry to hear you’ve had some less than ideal experiences. Overall it does not sound like you are being unreasonable. Regarding the request for hosting to be procured by your pro, I would think a number of pros would be happy to accommodate. It’s always best to ask for anything you need or want within or concerning a session to ensure your needs can be met. Most pros I interact with or have had the pleasure of working with are more than happy to listen and do whatever they can to create the very best experience for you.
    @Babichev does bring light to some root causes, namely that this is a newer industry all around and that there is a lack of initial requirements, training or vetting for either clients or pros. Additionally it can be off putting to see how poorly some pros conduct themselves as it may reflect on all of us if people make that association. I will say that the same applies to prospective clients. My positive experiences very easily outnumber the negative ones though I have had several less than ideal scenarios in which people communicate poorly, fail to even read my profile, and are not respectful of my time. I’ve even had a repeat client be a no call no show for an out of town overnight session.
    Here’s how I process the experience overall

    • I acknowledge that I am not entitled to any certain treatment, and that others are most likely doing the best they can, be it new pros or prospective clients.
    • I embrace the lack of stifling structure on this site as it enables individualism and promotes an organic experience over all. I actively seek out my own training and strive to provide the best experience possible for each individual I get to connect with.

    • I try and refrain from expectations all around as they often translate to premeditated disappointment.

      I hope this reframing helps and that you are able to connect with more amazing souls if that’s still what you wish to do. Best of luck to you.

    I imagine there is a vetting process to be a pro

    None of any consequence.

    Item 1 is indeed a major problem. Most pros don't reply to messages to begin with, and most of those that do reply have a very slow turnaround time. Yes, I understand that people have a life outside this site, but if every message takes 5-10 days to get a reply, how is it even possible to book a session?

    But what's the solution?

    Your other 3 items.... eh.

    Item 2: I think it's to be expected that most pros won't be able to host, and if you're neither able to host nor willing to get a hotel room... How is that their problem? Surely you can think of a solution here.

    Item 4:

    new to the site has little to know Karma, what’s the thought process on charging the same or higher than Pros that have been on the site for a while with consistent karma

    The thought process is they want to make a lot of money. I doubt the idea that few people will pay $200 for cuddles when plenty of $100 cuddles are available even enters their head.

    seems like there should be some market based pricing based on a couple factors, like experience (time on site) and Karma

    While the current pricing method (letting pros decide their own price) leads to some absurd prices on occasion, it's really the only reasonable method. If you really want "market based pricing", that requires people to be able to set their price.
