@GreatHornedOwl … I age discriminated against you the other day, but then immediately changed course … I saw a response you made on 1 of the threads, & I thought, “that was literally one of the most intelligent responses I ever heard / read in my entire life … at 1st I tried to justify such response due to age , because with age comes experience and wisdoms right? … (age discrimination) … but than I immediately thought … nah!!! This person intelligence is theirs , not because of this or that … I know that In the past we’ve had our debate on de-fi a while ago, and I was impressed in our back & forth and how intelligent you were… (until you called me an idiot 😠 😂) but I fully admit, you’re incredibly intelligent/ very interesting person/ hopefully we share a beer one day 🍻
I hope pros aren't misled by this and pressured into cuddling people they would rather not cuddle, because there are strong arguments on the other side of this. In California for example the Unruh Act is the main law governing whether businesses can discriminate but it only applies, for example, to "business establishments." These are places with a physical presence like massage shops, restaurants etc. and it is not clear at all it applies to interactions on a social network like this one. Just because it involves payment doesn't mean it's a business. Every state and country is different however and laws will vary. Think about it though - nobody would dare make this argument on dating apps.
The right to decide what you will do with your body, whom you will cuddle, and where your boundaries lie should be up to you, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
@cde123 I don't always agree with you, but 100% on this
Members, never let someone else beliefs, philosophies, soapbox statements, etc. influence YOU taking care of yourself and doing what you know is right for you. One of the best things I've read here lately.
@CuddleDuncan I wish more men were like you. You sound wonderful and respectful. Excuse while I book my flight to the UK lol
I've found some great friendships and connections with folks of all ages on here. That being said , I absolutely realize that someome 20 plus yrs younger than I with enough nerves and issues to begin with about navigating platonic cuddling with interweb strangers might feel really uncomfortable with the thought of getting to know someone old enough to be their dad, much less meeting and potentially cuddling with them. And frankly, 20 plus years ago I'd probably have felt the same. So to scream age discrimination just because you arent in someone's peer group and thus they would rather pass on spending time with you is a bit reactionary , and diminishes the true meaning and effect of actual age discrimination.
@pmvines Yep.
I agree that people should be able to cuddle with whomever they want, but when it comes to professionals, as was said, it's more complicated. The website has to consider possible legal ramifications.
I've cuddled between 18-82 and never had an issue connecting with anyone.
I have had age discrimination when I first started and was in my 20s cuddling but now that I'm settling into my 30s not really an issue too often. 💗
To me age is only a number on my profile I put I cuddle women from ages 18 to 100 which is most women on the planet.
Some may have an issue with seeing older clients due to sexual abuse from an elder or decline sessions from younger men for the same reasons.
It's unlikely they would ever voice this as their reason.
It's best to not take it personal and just find someone who WANTS to cuddle with you.
What Rezz said.
As an aged pro this is definitely an issue for me, I'm not a young hottie anymore. But the maternal love that I exude is still much wanted and needed, I cuddled with a woman who lost her mother and she felt healed (on her way to healing, I don't mean to express that's she's over it) after our cuddle. It was like she had a way to say goodbye and get that same nurturing feeling from a surrogate. Many people have something to work out with their maternal figure in a loving setting and I am honored to provide that.
@cuddles_ndream - I have absolutely no memory (a hazard of age?) of ever having called you an idiot. However, if you remember it, I must have done so. For this, I sincerely apologize. I think I would enjoy having a beer with you. If you ever get to Chicago, or I to New York, we should take advantage.
@Rezz - I don't take it personal, but is does become discouraging, when I'm attempting to "find someone who WANTS to cuddle" with me, and see that the available pool of such women on CC, is seriously diminished, and appears to be approaching zero. Oh well, just keep trying.
@Mare_Bear - Don't worry, to us older guys on CC, you are plenty hot enough, and more attractive than those of your competitors who are half your age.
@GreatHornedOwl No need to apologize, I was being very stubborn in trying to defend my views / conviction / & position in that space … You had a lot of great counter arguments which were very valid! I apologize! That would be Amazing by the way… if you make it to New York before I make it to Chicago, the Uber pickup from the airport and the hotel stay is on me sir 🙏🏻 just tell me when and its done! we’ll definitely share those beers for sure 🍻 and have great conversations.
