Any other non-pros find this website completely addicting?

I find myself logging in regularly, almost doing it subconsciously. There’s clearly an appeal to see who’s new, what posts are happening, who’s out there. Kind of fascinating how I keep getting drawn in even if there isn’t much change from day to day and I’m not overly active with scheduling.

  • Yes! And the more I cuddle the more addicted I'm getting. Lol

    Totally agree. Between the boards, messaging and exploring new cuddlers both within my city and areas I’m traveling to, it has most definitely become somewhat of a daily guilty pleasure.

    As far as the cuddling part itself, up until last year I was very adverse to the concept of paying someone to cuddle me. Nothing against pros of course, it was just a general principle I needed to get past within myself.

    And with fellow enthusiasts, since that’s my preference, there came a point where I became discouraged with the tremendous amount of time and good energy I had invested into the high number of fakes, flakes, bannees, non-responsives, and women that I exchanged messages with that got overwhelmed by too many suitors and then deleted their accounts - so much to the point that the enthusiast cuddles had dropped down to zero. At that point, I finally acquiesced to the pro route.

    And now that I’m passed that hurdle, while it has become deeply gratifying it has also become a little addictive and gotten very expensive very quickly.

    That’s how it’s looked for me.

  • Unfortunately, yes! I mean, it is useless when it comes to initiating a conversation with a female who is an enthusiast but not a professional! They will usually not respond, and some of them will just look at your profile but not respond! And you can’t even start conversation with new female users, because many of them will just look at your profile but not respond! It’s like I officially found it completely useless reaching out to female enthusiasts because it is an unnecessary waste of time and energy!

    I'd say no. It's an occasional distraction.

    Not addicting, but I do enjoy it as is evidenced by the fact that I'm on here at the moment

    I check in from time to time as I like reading this part of the site. I have had a few decent good conversations. I find myself checking in more because over the past several weeks I tend to come and go for a few days or a few weeks at a time and I feel I have missed out on possibly one or two great connections with people that are from my area, and they don’t appear to have been on, so who knows.

  • Popping in from a nice 4 week break. I missed a few people here and want to say hi to them. I bet a lot of people forget the forums can be read by all the internet without logging in. Guess I'm just not addicted to seeing my name under every thread. LOL

  • I can relate 💯

  • yes. me. xD i do have an addictive personality though. by that i mean, i get massive fixations on things.
    well when i first signed up; i had a few interactions that put me off. i left for a bit.. but.. i came back and am practicing some of the suggestions in the faq that i found in the forums.
    but i'd say the last week or two; i've been lurking the forums.
    I'm really like.. big gregarious? so i need to constantly talk to people >.>
    I'm usually always on discord, and i'm often on quora. but yes. this site has ended up lately in a group of places i float around.
    like once i stopped expecting people who agree to meets to not actually show up and treat them like just chatting for sake of chatting; it's been a lot more enjoyable. so now i'm just talk to people pretty often. I'd say there's been a handful of people i talk to pretty regularly

  • well this is also kinda coinciding with my taking a hiatus from ffxiv. i used to go there everyday until like mid last year when i started playing palia. very recently i keep getting in a mood where i just want to talk to someone/people.
    anyone is welcome to message me.
    i do have bpd, so sometimes i'm just lost in an internal hurricane. and other times; i write lots of walls of text and tapestries of words.

  • It was for a while, but the platonic cuddle concept is really not helping my goal of settling down into a long term relationship, so my interest is fading. It's been an amazing way to meet people, though. I've learned so much.

  • No addictions here. I just check in one or twice a month.

  • Even though I have little chance of finding someone in rural UK I keep coming back often.
    Mostly for the forums tbh

  • The message board goes through waves of being uplifting, bitter, fascinating, stale, loving, and abusive. My interest and activity fluctuates with those waves, and, most obviously, by life circumstances.

    However, my appreciation for and engagement in the hobby itself never wanes.
