Hi, there.I'm new to this platform, so please don't be too hard on me.I'm a little curious.Are we allowed to give our phone numbers out?Or is that against the rules?Any help is appreciated thank u
If you're not a pro there shouldn't be an issue.
If you're a pro you will want to book something through the system first so the website can make sure they get their cut.
@Jezebells Welcome to the site. 😊
Are we allowed to give our phone numbers out?
As a woman enthusiast… and long time CC forum reader…
I would HIGHLY encourage you to read the forum threads and stickies about safety and I would use a google number or better yet keep all of the conversations and messages on the site until you meet someone in person.
If someone is pushing (requesting) to immediately start talking to you off site it has consistently been seen to be a Red flag for multiple reasons.
Or is that against the rules?
It’s not against the rules for an enthusiast (I.e. not charging people) but the site STRONGLY DISCOURAGES it for the sake of your safety.
Any help is appreciated
I don’t like giving unsolicited advice, but after getting really burned in the beginning of my journey here I NEVER give out my number until I meet someone face to face. Anyone who doesn’t like that boundary is most surely not going to like ANY boundary that I have for my safety or sanity.
There are beautiful people to be found in this community but there are also a lot of scammers and selfishly driven people as well.
As always… “May the Cuddle Gods be EVER in your favor!!”
HUGS!
Welcome @Jezebells Hope you have a beautiful journey with cuddling 💗 This is perfect advice from @sillysassy ! Stay safe and hugs! 💕🫶
@Jezebells @sillysassy said it perfectly! Please remember that you are meeting strangers online and keep yourself safe. I hope you have great cuddles 🫰
@Jezebells Hi there!👋
Welcome to CC, as a Cuddle Enthusiast I have given my number out to those that I think are VERY sincere in partaking in PLATONIC cuddling with me.😊🫂
With emphasis on the word PLATONIC, of course.😁👍
It takes a few (if not more then a few 😜) messages from another cuddler here to get me comfortable to the "hey, here's my number" point. ☎️😊
Not all cuddlers get my number, because...Well, because in my experiences all cuddlers are NOT created equal.😏😌
So yes, welcome and heed the wonderful advice that @sillysassy has given you. Be safe and best of luck!😁
When I was a pro women were pressing me to give out my number. But I always followed the rules.
I've always thought you had to book first then exchange # I've known people to be banned for giving out # before booking anything...
@sillysassy Handing great advice out like sweet knowledge candy! 😁👍
Awwww you guys are so sweet for all those kind vibes, but there is a PLETHORA of good information out there and my experience is only a part of what makes the whole. There are a lot of people in this community that would be thrilled to help. 💗🩵🩷💚❤️💜🧡💛
@Sooson you are a funny fellow!! And it’s not even April Fools anymore!!
@Jezebells Welcome! 🤗 💖
I agree with @sillysassy about getting a free Google number. It is a good idea for safety reasons and it makes it easier to change numbers if someone becomes a troublesome.
@charkh1992 As an enthusiast, you can give your contact info out to other enthusiasts anytime.
The only time giving contact info is restricted is usually with professional cuddlers. 😩 "You are only permitted to exchange contact information (e.g. phone and email) after confirming a session using the booking panel."
Good luck and safe cuddles! 🫂
I thought it unfortunate that a new member who asks a question felt compelled to say, "please don't be too hard on me."
@Jezebells Welcome! Some great advice on here. I think it is pretty cool you are into the gothic thing. I did the whole goth thing myself for a couple of years in my early 20s (in the 80s), though I was also in the military at the time so I couldn't do any "non-conventional" piercings and I had to wear a wig because they didn't want us doing anything too out there with our hair either. I'm older now, but I've never lost my appreciation for goths and occasionally add a piece or two as a nod to the lifestyle and the look.
@TxTom Me too. A sad state of affairs, but totally understandable considering how ugly some people can be.
@TxTom @achetocuddle I was heartened that people weren't "too hard" at all and were nice and gave good information for the most part.
The OP has deleted her account. 😔
@warm_embrace 🙁 Just saw that too.
@HarleyGirlKate Yes, but unfortunately I feel that some people only get treated well because they preface what they have to say with please don't be too hard on me.
@achetocuddle That is true too. Best, I think, to try and make kindness one's default.
Sorry she left before getting a sense of what this place is about. Hope she comes back.
@Sooson you, a rule follower? 😝
Its optional
Lol @hey_nikky what are you talking about? im a saint. And I was even sainter as a pro
Hugs @hey_nikky
When I was a pro
@Sooson Did you exchange your cuddle services for sandwiches? 🥪 😁 Lol! 😄You seem like the type of "Cuddle Pro" who would prefer sandwiches (or something silly yet edible) over money to me.😄😄😄
Maybe not sandwiches? Maybe lasagna, soup ,doughnuts, fruit rollups or something funny in your advertising...🤭
"Hi there!👋 Are you touch starved AND a great cook? 😊😋 Well look no further,my name is Sooson and I am a Cuddle Pro who cuddles for food...So if you're a great cook looking for cuddles. Call 1-800-FEED4HUGS!"
😆😄
@Katota lol what about pizza? I would totally accept pizza and beer as a payment.
Very fair question !
~ Happy Cuddling Everyone 🤗 ~
Question for the Mods. @netrunner @Shake @JoyfulHeart @cudbud64 ETC
since this OP deleted her account within a day… can we change the title so it’s more easily searchable? I.e. “Safety in exchanging phone numbers”
It’s sometimes challenging when you’re thinking of a thread and the title doesn’t match the content.
@achetocuddle Goodness I appreciate your kind heart!! ❤️
You are right… you’ve been here long enough to see the mayhem sometimes.
Yes, but unfortunately I feel that some people only get treated well because they preface what they have to say with please don't be too hard on me.
@Sooson HA! 😆
I knew it!😊🫂
@sillysassy done
