Do more people take this site seriously or is it just another OKC, POF, etc with people who are not happy in their relationships?
I don't know about the majority of people on the site since I don't have any interaction with most of them, but the people on the forums are almost all using the site as intended. People that aren't legit get reported by us as we run across them and they get banned.
I haven't interacted with anybody trying to use this site as a hook up site and I've been around for a few years. Though I have had much more success using regular dating sites for platonic cuddling - likely due to the higher volume of people. So far, everyone I've met in person off here has seemed genuinely curious about it.
And of course you can always use your best judgement and report those who are not using the site for its intended purpose.
I don't even know what OKC or POF are I am just interested in cuddles under my rock.
Thank you for the feedback. So yesterday experience not the norm. That is a bit of relief. Again, thanks for the feedback.
Anna, what I think is the norm, and somebody will correct me, is that people join the site for the wrong reasons every day. Nearly all of them poke around a little and find out that this is not a dating or hookup site and leave. I haven’t been around that long, but I’d venture to say that there are even a few who stayed after they figured out what platonic means, and that especially with the paid pros there are some very, very specific guidelines of what is acceptable and what is not who will try to avoid the guidelines. I think every user has to do some due diligence on a person they intend to meet. In a perfect world, everyone would be who and what they say they are, and everyone would color inside the lines. I’m waiting for that perfect world. All that being said, I do believe that the vast majority of the people here are sincere. I’d be more skeptical of the user who joined last night, than of one who has been here a year and a half. Always be careful, whether you are free or pro, whether you are male or female, whether the other person is male or female, whether the match is same gender or cross gender, whether....you get the point.
Thanks. I’ve gathered he is not the norm. I’m letting go of that and keeping a positive outlook. I appreciate the feedback.
Echoing what others have said, all of my in person interactions through this site have shown me people legitimately interested in "real snuggling".
Of course, not all profiles will be people intending to use the site correctly, but generally those are abandoned quite quickly.
