I don’t do side jobs. If I do then I won’t have the time for cuddles. 🤗
@JollyLumberjack - lol. With gig work, you are free to work whenever you want with no commitments. Work one until you make enough money then set aside a day to cuddle.
@Mike403 - I cuddle at least 2 times a week. I will rephrase the statement I made earlier- I don’t have time for side jobs. 🤫
@JollyLumberjack - Then you're fine. Human touch is rarer than gold for me.
@Mike403 Indeed!
Reading this makes me feel like what we're offering as pros really does leave an impact with people, a profound impact! Thank you for sharing the side hustle dedication you work on so you can afford to see us!
@justjennn - Trying to encourage people to support the profession and get their touch needs met without financial hardship Food delivery apps are the easiest for those who have a reliable car. It's just driving around bringing food from point A to point B.
I use an app called EveryDollar which is a budgeting tool that I had since 2017 and I love it. You easily tell it your income and add money to various spending categories.
You can choose to make some of them a "fund" meaning whatever isn't spent is allowed to roll over to the next month. They are denoted by a piggy bank next to that item.
@mike403 first... Is that Tidal I see? Sigh... Spotify all the way. Second why isn't there money in the Final fantasy budget???!!! Third... I'm paying 8$ a month for Microsoft one.... Like WTH?! AND fourth... seeing your cuddle budget reminds me to change a certain booking. I think I put it in at the wrong price. Going to fix it.
I think that's it. Hahahaha
@stormydaycuddle - lol.. As for the Final Fantasy XIV budget, those are remaining funds. I pay that one at the beginning of the month.
I usually put some money to the side each week depending on the length of the session as for how sessions I do usually it’s one for each of the four seasons so I have to make each one count
Yep. I'm a professional cuddler on another astral plane. I get paid in qwpdtixssdmd's. It's their official currency.
Our band is finally getting some paid offers to play gigs. I could very well use that money to cuddle, unless I actually meet someone playing out though I am really not looking for a relationship. Platonic cuddling is better for me at this point.
@stormydaycuddle - Micrsoft One Drive has different plans. I'm on this one.
I already work 60-70 hrs, so no time for another job. Yet I blow out my cuddle budget every month.
Cuddling needs to be added to the schedule as some kind of narcotic.
Has anyone used the Shiftsmart app or any other app to find local or not so local gig work? Comments good or bad?

@Mike403 Google one cloud storage is $1.99 a month for 100gb.
@cylee1180 - So is Microsoft One-drive.
This is where the rest of my money is going now. I have an infection in my teeth and need three root canals.
@Mike403 hope your surgery/ies go well.
I don't work an extra side gig, I just pick up some OT in the summer or pull from my savings from said OT in the winter.
The side gig :
I work at Amazon, collect student aid, and make about $300 a month tutoring. It’s a modest existence but right now I can afford the snugs
It’s the only thing that still connects me to other humans so spending my aid money on it is justified
@stormydaycuddle YouTube Music!! I like that if something isn't in their music library, I can hear it from a YouTube video if there is one or upload the mp3's to my personal library. But that's me.
Back on topic, I don't do this but I will if my work has a slowdown and my income dips.
I’m a professional website designer, graphic artist, and photographer. My side hustle to pay for cuddles is to help pros enhance their profiles to help them not just generate more interest, but structured and photographed in ways to accent their personality to attract the type of clients they are compatible with and deterring the ones that are looking for something else.
@DonLonG ~ I love that you're getting to apply your photography and writing talents to assist Pros on here. If I were one, I'd be stoked to get to hire you, and would do it in a heartbeat!! Go you!!
I don’t really have any marketable skills to have a second job, but the list of people I would love to cuddle continues to grow. 😔 perhaps I should give peddling feet pix a try, also perhaps I could make more by keeping them covered. 🫣
This is sad if someone has to work a side job just so they can pay for cuddling. I'm sorry there is such a lack of companionship and cuddling from friends or lovers. Really just sad.
@Melancholy but sometimes the people you meet cuddling turn into great friends.
Fortunately I don’t need a side hustle to pay for cuddles, but, my issue is this: Now that I’ve tried using a pro, I can sorta feel it being a bit of a possible addictive slippery slope, as I have already used 3 just in the last month or so.
(This is NOT a humble brag or even a complaint! I’m not asking for sympathy! But it IS a a challenging question that’s been on my mind now that I’m here).
The quick backstory is I’ve had my own personal objections about the concept of paying someone to cuddle me; it’s just something that hasn’t felt like a good fit conceptually for me. But that’s just ME.
And despite what I’m always told is a very nice profile w/ plenty of great reviews from ENTHUSIASTS, I still have to message well over 100 women to just even get ONE single enthusiast cuddle here. Maybe even 150. I live in Los Angeles so it’s a big pool, but that’s still ALOT of profiles to look at, read, message individually, respond back to (if they even respond to me), plus all the back and forth messaging to get to the part where you exchange numbers, then all the time building trust and rapport etc etc to even get to a meet; it’s very time consuming and can get a bit exhausting. Guys I’m sure you know what that’s like. It’s just the truth.
Having said that, it’s the time and convenience factor that has pulled me into the pro lane and although I still strongly prefer organic cuddles, it’s become a slippery slope for me as there are so many wonderful pro women here; where do I stop???
Again I’m not asking for sympathy, it’s a good problem to have I guess, but it is a quandary nonetheless…
