I’m new here , do woman reach out to men ?
Sometimes, but typically not.
Do woman reach out to men?
No, they normally reach out to bears.
I love bears, but I don't think they'd cuddle me without mauling me
@KuddlyKoala I know. I was alluding to the infamous “Would Women Choose Men or a Bear” thread. The bear won.
@colombianhugs Yes, we do.

@colombianhugs To answer your question, yes they do. I have had enthusiasts reach out and it has become more frequent the longer I have been on here, the more events I attend, the more word of mouth that gets around and yes, the more karma that accumulates. All are factors.
But pros are not supposed to reach out unless you visit their profile first.
I muted my account so that I have control over who I communicate with. I do reach out to men. It's pretty much the same experience that men have in messaging women. Some reply & some don't. C'est la vie.
I've had female professionals reach out a few times which I'm cool with. Enthusiasts don't in my experience anyway.
Sometimes yes sometimes no.
Mostly PRO cuddles reach out after you visit them. The other ones always have their inbox full before they reach-out anyone. :-D haha
@KuddlyKoala Personally haven't cuddled a bear yet, but I've cuddled kangaroo's, wombats, koala bears, and even a tiger cub. Guess I cuddle animals more often than people, lol
I’ll reach out to ones I’ve cuddled with normally
It doesn't bother me if they contact me even if I don't view their profile. It's often ones letting me know they will be traveling to my area but sometimes locals.
😆😆😆😆😆
@TheFunCartel Well, it is what it is. ❤️😁🐻
Sometimes I will visit a professional profile, and the lady will contact me. I have never been able to contact, nor have I been contacted by, a non-professional.
@ChemicalBob You have a great profile; if I were traveling anywhere near you, I would definitely reach out.
Yes I've had one female enthusiast contact me, we've met twice so far, it's been great.
As a professional, I do frequently reach out to enthusiasts (both men and women), but only the ones who have visited my profile first. I probably get 30-40% of my clients that way...
You would think that enthusiasts would reach out enthusiastically. I understand why the apathetics do not. Meh.
Well this thread isn’t looking too good for us bears. 🐻
Not to me. I’m batting 1000 on this site
as a genuine guy just looking to make friendly connections i can tell you, we do actually exist , and would really appreciate a “hello, how are you today? lets chat some”
but a woman enthusiast has never reached out to me here once that i recall, and they almost never respond to my attempt to start a chat.. in the rare times they do effort is almost 0
my first week here made plans to meet someone for coffee to get to know one another and she ghosted me just before the day .
i suppose it depends on where you are located, how men in your area have been treating enthusiasts, and if anyone is actually looking to get to know someone.
If you're enthusiast woman, you can reach out to as many men as you want. As a pro I think it's only best to reach out to people that visited your profile and leave a non- soliciting message, like welcome or that you appreciate their efforts to fill out their profile.. etc
After welcoming people, I hear a lot of men say thank you for reaching out so I think sometimes it's intimidating to start the first message.
Some men put in their profile, message and say hi, so if you like women to message you, you can put that in there.
Or if you don't, you can put that in there also
@KozyKim Good tips !
I contact those individuals who have shown past interest. I am open to those who have made efforts to make a connection.
@BluboySnugs Similar experience so far! I've been able to chat with a couple of enthusiasts who are really awesome people, but for 90% after I reach out with a friendly message and ask to chat and get to know each other more (and being very clear in my profile that I'm only platonic), I get about 1 or 2 responses, and as soon as I respond back there's just silence. I'm not sure why, but I'm guessing since there's so many male options out there, it's easy to get lost in a sea of people and be overwhelmed. So don't take it personally, I think the men probably outnumber the women by such a margin that unless you kind of "hit the lottery" so to speak, there's a good chance you'll be ignored. I think also, in my city, most of the women here become professionals since it's like "why not make some money while I'm cuddling", so there's a bit of a dearth of enthusiasts right nearby, but that's just a guess (I'd love to hear more female perspectives on this!).
But but but ... the couple of people who do engage with me regularly are gold 🌟 So I think for me, it's a continued patience and attempt to reach out until you find those.
The other thing that's been great at meeting people online is posting a discussion about my own personal life journey. There's so many people from around the US and the world here, that I've been able to have some nice chats with pros and connect there too. Then I'm lucky too that I live near Denver and can go to the meet and greet in a couple of weeks. So I think opening up and being vulnerable has helped me to find more "kindred souls" and more avenues of genuine conversation and connection.
@KozyKim a great point! I'll have to enhance my profile to make that more prominent too and see if it helps.
All the time, but they will most often be pros.
Happened to me twice. Both are pros. When I did not respond positive, one blocked me, the other was mean.
I cuddle to receive calm, comfort and safety to cope my hard life. So I like pro cuddlers who are able to care about another person.
Non pros, I will be shocked if they reach out to me LOL
Women contacting men ? Whaaaat?? Next thing you know they will be wanting to wear jeans and vote ! Not on my watch !!
@KozyKim good advice! I thought we were not allowed to reach out to enthusiasts.
