Karmas are also some sort of a stamp of time and location and people can get jealous and possessive, yes even over here....
A pro or a client may not want to be "on record" having seen a certain individual or having cuddled at a certain city at a certain time for the reasons stated above or for other reasons.
I'll chime in here since I'm a member since 2018 with no karma.
Before this account I had an account that had close to 20 karma. I've cuddled people like kuddlebunny, Brandi, autumnlovesya, and even had an overnight cuddle with fickleivy just to name a few. I deleted my account because I got into a relationship and wasn't aware I could just pause it 😂. I made a new account just cause of FOMO to browse around. Once that relationship ended covid also happened so me and many cuddlers didn't want to do any sessions.
Since then I have seen a few probably 2-3 cuddlers that have been deleted and gone that didn't want to leave karma or receive karma in return. Idk if they didn't report it to not give the site their cut but that has nothing to do with me.
Although I did try to book with someone recently and they did mention my profile is sketch since I have no karma and they told me to try again once I have some. It's a fair request though.
Karma is a good indicator but not foolproof, I even recall a mod here that has long since been banned that was using his power to do questionable things a while back. Anyways stay safe everyone and happy cuddling.
@sausalito I don't find your lack of Karma sketch, but your completely empty profile gives me zero reason to message you, were I to come across it, blind. You've written a wonderful, thought-out, intelligent post, here, which reflects great things about you, but your profile doesn't reflect anything. 🥺 Just something to consider. If you used the excellent communication skills you've just shown here, to write a paragraph or two in your profile, I think it would go a long way. 😊

@SunsetSnuggles you are 100% correct. Thank you for pointing that out and the kind words. Although I do introduce myself in messages and include pictures my empty profile isn't doing me any favors. I'll fix it up after a session I'm about to have happens so I'll have some karma to go with it.
@sausalito Hugs, mate! 😊 PM me anytime.
I just had a pro tell me recently that if someone is traveling into an area and they visit profiles and the person arranges a session with her and then she leaves karma for the guy and they leave karma for her she sees a ton of pros visit her profile. Most say nothing, some ask her how the session went, but some are very aggressive at asking what she is doing to get cuddlers implying she is a prostitute. She said one recently asked her if she wanted to set up a threesome with a particular client but not in a platonic way. This was in a large East coast city where the competition for clients is high.
I know guys do this because I have had guys try and pry information about women I have seen on pro and enthusiast alike, but I was surprised that many women do that too. Apparently karma is similar to leaving a financial trail for some.
Maybe - I have an account from 2018. But I forgot about the account until a few weeks ago. But in 2018 when I made the account I think I must have only sent a few messages and didn't even meet anyone. Plus I'm a male so the simple ratio of male/female it's just natural to not get responses. So I'm now active until I get bored
@BoomerSpooner it definitely is a trail and not always well-received.
@AllAboutSoul That’s a shame because the ones I see I chose because
So it really does not behoove them to fuss over a potentially lost client with the pro I actually saw when I was never their client to begin with!
Not having Karma is not a bad thing as at some point in time, we have all had zero karma. However, what I do find, are folks with one or less pics (I have several but blocked for privacy), short bios, and no karma are the most unresponsive and/or flaky members in general.
Therefore, I started to filter out those members as a first option to contact. I think a good deal are either catfishing, sketchy, or scare easily, of which I have no interest in any of those possibilities. Sticking with pro's with karma has led to a much better outcome.
I think a lot of people just don’t leave karma i have been a professional on here since 2018 and i only have 8 karma. i have cuddled with way more people than that. but i don’t ask for karma either and i don’t typically think to leave karma unless they left me karma so it’s kinda on me i would guess. i don’t judge people on their karma or lack there of
Karma can’t be relied upon for safety purposes. I’ve seen people with 20+ turn around and do the most sketch stuff.
Besides anyone can snap and go on a diy trip to Home Depot 0 Karma or 137 Karma. Don’t ask why that number was so oddly specific. 😂😂😂😂
Can we ask why Home Depot is so oddly specific? 🤔😏🙂
@JoyfulHeart is Lowes better? lol.
Just hire a big bodyguard to stand just outside the room while holding a shotgun.
Wait...I have a Lowes credit card Does that help?
No, @stormydaycuddle Home Depot is better. 😁

100%. Karma is just one fraction of the vetting process, peeps.

I think it is not a red flag since it is difficult for a guy to achieve cuddles and karma on here unless he is willing to pay for sessions. I have been registered since 2020 and have no karma even though I was lucky enough to meet three people from here who were all positive experiences. They all moved on from the site and it's been a couple years since I met anyone. I think the landscape has changed and maybe the pandemic made it a little easier a few years ago. But anyway, all of those meetups were preceded by just messages and pictures, and I really appreciated that they took a chance on me. I think another good layer of security, if desired, would be a quick video chat or even meeting in a public place first just to get a feel for the other person.
@Tolpeko Many Pro's do a video chat, before cuddles. I've never tried that, as I feel very uncomfortable on video, but I always meet cuddlers in a public place to chat and see if we both have a good vibe, and feel comfortable proceeding. 😊
Many reasons this person doesn’t have karma. Maybe they just haven’t been active on the site. Or those who left them karma got banned (we need to fix this…). I’ve lost karma from clients when they got banned, and it’s really annoying.
Also, karma doesn’t mean ANYTHING. I got messages from a dude and almost cuddled him. He had good karma. Messaged the girl who gave him the good karma… and she told me that he ended up begging her for sex and she had to cut contact. Yeah, I definitely didn’t meet with the guy.
Karma is honestly pretty useless on its own because most people aren’t honest. It is useful in that I know who to DM to ask about a dude.
@bobadevotee - I hope she reported him.
@Mike403 she never did to my knowledge. I encouraged her to… lot of women endure disgusting harassment and never say a word bc we’ve been conditioned to let things go
@Mike403 I would love to hire a bodyguard to stand outside but then I’d have to charge $150/hr to cover that and we’d see EVEN MORE men complaining about pro rates
@bobadevotee - That's why they keep doing it. They expect women to just let it go. It's sad and disgusting.
Begging for sex falls into rape territory. The consent isn't valid if she was pressured into giving it.
Yes.
I agree with you gentlemen.
Good on you @bobadevotee to message the women and get a better insight of the guy before meeting up with him. I hate, utterly HATE, men like that.
This is an interesting question! In my own experience, location can be a huge factor. I myself have been on here for years, and haven't had a chance to cuddle anyone yet because I live so far away from most active cuddlers. ʰᵒᵖᵉˢ ᵃʳᵉ ᵃˡʷᵃʸˢ ʰᶦᵍʰ ᵗʰᵒᵘᵍʰᵎ
Though the info on a profile can tell a lot, I suppose there's no way it can ever paint a full picture. Always trust your judgement, and be safe and snug cuddling out there! 🌻
