I would choose the bear. Unless the man wanted me to pay him money. In which case I would choose the man.
As always, I choose the man. I have no fear. But I’d choose the bear over another woman lol.
@g_w_t_w Even if it were a koala? Those little STI infested dust bunnies are stinking adorable
@pmvines Here are my choices in no certain order: Family Some Men Almost all animals, especially Dogs Cats Puppies, Kittens, Rabbits Polar Bear cub, Koala non-bear cubs Edited to correct mistake!
Hmm. I would choose the bear over some of my family members for sure
Throw a red panda or capybara in the mix though and everyone else can just take a back seat
Koalas are not bears, just fyi. 🙂
Nor are red pandas actual pandas but tomato potato
@TD1964RGK I think I should’ve known that, thanks! !🤗
I would absolutely pay a red panda to cuddle me
As an enthusiast, if I were struggling to find a quality cuddle partner, I would absolutely reach out to a pro, although at the going rates ($100/hr) I would only get to do it once. Lol. If it were like $20/hr i would absolutely do it more. After years of joking about this concept, it was actually a TV documentary with a MALE pro that made me realize this cuddling concept was a real thing. But, like I said, only if I were struggling to find a decent partner and unfortunately in my area, there's still plenty to choose from.
I'm new here and haven't met up with anyone yet. But if there was training and background checks and some other safety protocol in place I would definitely prefer (esp at first) to hire a pro male. But without that, the risk to my life and limb seems the same, so I'm not sure how it makes sense to pay. Maybe if I become a regular I'd think differently. Male and female pros ought to be treated the same by the website; they know men will get less clients but charge them more? Not cool.

I am a professional male and have been for as long as I can remember.
"charge them more" is a matter of perspective. I bet if you offered female pros the option to pay what male pros pay, 99% of them would jump at the opportunity. Any pro who is doing more than one paid cuddle a month would pay less with the male pro pricing. The male pro pricing is there to discourage delusional men.
(A friend/cuddler from this site told me that I should consider becoming a pro. I was happy to accept the compliment from her, but I'm not nearly delusional enough to think that would be a good idea.)
I actually like the idea of a male Pro, but from my POV would rather spend the money on a massage or something where I know exactly what I will be receiving.
@g_w_t_w: "I appreciate your response, because we each have different interests."
Yes, we do ... variety is the spice of life, and I am very glad to read that you had a very nice experience with a male enthusiast, and I hope you have many more similar experiences. 🙂
I have had some nice experiences with male enthusiasts as well, and I count two of them I met here as friends, irrespective of cuddling. CC has taught me that I am looking more for friends who maybe cuddle rather than cuddle partners, and my strong preference is to make friends with other women.
Also, tbh, I have had some unpleasantness meeting men on here when I was a pro, and find the "vetting" imperatives exhausting whereas I've had zero issues meeting women. I like to minimize the drama and such in my life, so I have gravitated to what works best for me. I have found that CC is a big plus in my life, but experienced a bit of a learning curve. Plus, my general outlook is pretty sapphic, and I already have plenty of male friends in my life through boxing and wrestling so there is that. 😁
@Auroradream: "bring on the mani-pedi, girl talk, pizza, and cuddles!! 🤗👸🏻💅🏻"
Oh yes, bring it on! And dinosaurs too; I loved our trip to the Carnegie. You are the best! 👑☺️🍕
Like trying to sell a used Christmas tree in January.
@Odalette Yes, they know male pros will get next to no clients, so if they don't charge them a monthly fee, they will make no money off of them at all. That's not an issue with female pros, who do much more business.
This topic always comes up in one form or another....men trying to find women to cuddle. Let's wait for the next thread that is a variation of this topic.
I recently reached out to two male pros—one was gay and clearly preferred cuddling men, while the other seemed promising but lacked substantial karma reviews. Finding a male cuddler with whom I can fully relax, be myself, and feel safe would definitely be worthwhile.
The challenge on CC is that so few male pros have an established history of karma. I’m not keen on taking the risk of booking someone without verifiable credentials or an easy way to vet them. Even As a pro, I rarely book w clients who have profiles Barron of karma.
Secondly, I’d be more likely to book a male pro if I were seeking a specific experience—such as a French-speaking male cuddler who could whisper affirmations to me in français. I rarely get to speak French during cuddles, so that would be a delight. Or perhaps a cuddler with a background in psychology or one trained in deep Swedish massage or one who is able to create the perfect cuddle playlist.
Many female pros on this site offer unique cuddle experiences, from sound baths to yoga. Everyone has their own cuddle niche—mine is creating a certain level of ambiance. I haven’t encountered many male pros with distinctive brands on cc, but have seen some successful male pros on other sites.
Thirdly, I have other means of getting my touch needs met outside of cc so it’s not as much of a priority for me to seek out the expertise of a pro. As someone who has experienced touch starvation, I wish I knew of this site during the pandemic.
I would hire a pro if I could afford it and there were any close to my area. There is no a high demand for enthusiasts in my area and from what I have seen so far the woman is to be in the caretaker role essentially and I’m at an age where I just want the focus on myself and to be the one being taken care of instead.
I know this topic has gone back and forth about why men can't be pro. Listen they can, they won't be successful more than likely but they can do it. I can say i have been asked by more than one new comer to the site how they pay me. I'll say 3 have inquired before they learned, i explained. So had i been pro, i would have gotten 3 but unsolicited paid cuddles maybe. I've even had a cuddle insinuate they'd pay for extras, during a cuddle, that may have been a joke but it could have been her testing me. I offer those examples to say it's possible. Even here there is a small demand for quality cuddle time with men even if you can get the milk for free.
Until money is exchanged and the session takes place, women claiming they would hire a male pro cuddler is just an empty promise.
It's all very pie in the sky for the sake of encouragement
What @starrynitecuds said, but if you made it a competition and you got a Girl Scout badge for “Cuddling a Male Pro” I could see it happening. I remember my daughter being in Girl Scouts and all the trash talk regarding badges. Once a scout always a scout.
@TheFunCartel not on topic but now I want to see an Adam Sandler and Chris Rock film that features Girl Scout trash talk and hyper competitive hijinks.
Don't forget about David Spade
Considering all the money I spent on supporting men for stupid things over the years that I got no use or need from I guess spending money on something I actually want for myself and is for me isn’t a bad way to spend my money bring on the male professionals cuddlers I say
Well men there you go. For all of you who post endlessly moaning about how nobody wants to cuddle with you or return your messages seems you have a solution. Go pro. You'll even get paid (because the very same people who go pro are also the very same people who don't. Literally all you do is provide a credit card so the site can charge you 20 bucks a month as asle pro and boom. Still the same person. No better no worse)
I want male pros to succeed (good dudes whose heart is in it and not just looking to be paid to grope people and get boners, who exist for sure but just not that many) but all the anecdotal stuff is all perfect world talk.
