Will females cuddle with an older gentleman?

I've only been on here a couple of months and interacted with a number of people, but the only way I've been able to arrange a cuddle session is with the pro.
There aren't many people anywhere near my age. I'm 66, and so my question is do people want to cuddle with someone mostly their own age? Am I too old to be a desirable enough cuddle partner?
I've switched from just outright asking right away. If somebody wants to cuddle to now trying to chat get to know each other first but I'm just striking out here. Any suggestions?

    Welcome to the site!

    Most men "strike out" in the way you describe; it has nothing to do with your age. Finding an enthusiast to cuddle with takes time and patience.

    Hang out and read the General board and you will learn a lot about what the typical experience is like.

    It is definitely a good idea to try to get to know people before trying to schedule a cuddle, as you have learned. It's a very personal and vulnerable thing.

    Back to your question of age, everyone is different but I have no age preferences. I don't think it should factor into cuddling whatsoever.

  • Thank you. I hope you're right. I would think some enthusiasts would either like hugs from a father figure or want to give comfort to an older guy.
    But yet I wonder how many people think of this as a way to meet people and find bf or gf.

  • I am also in my late 60"s and find once I state my age things go silent. So I always give my age right up front and realize that many cuddlers would prefer someone not so old.

  • I agree that getting to the point where an enthusiast woman will feel safe with an unknown man takes time and patience. However, it would be naive to think that ageism doesn't exist. Maybe we need to start a Senior Cuddlers club.

    Geography also plays a part. Too bad the two of you live multiple states away from me.

  • Yes, a cuddling club for seniors would be great. Just our luck you're in Florida. I'm all the way on the other side of the country. But it's reassuring to know that they're there are some women in our age group that go on here. Let me ask you, would you rather meet and cuddle with younger guys then? Somebody your own age? And what would younger mean to you? 20s 30s 40s 50s?

  • @Bohemianguy l would rather cuddle with men 50+. I have nothing in common with those much younger. Unfortunately, cuddle culture isn't big in my area.

  • I posted on craigslist to start a cuddle club. It got removed in less than an hour!

    I'm.gonna be all the way real with you . First of all, you are per your profile, in a relationship, which lots of folks just aren't comfortable engaging with folks in relationships. Platonic or not. And that's their right. Also, several of your posts in other threads appear to be potentially problematic. You create more than one thread about feet/foot massages, which you've been told each time that zeroing in on that can be seen as a fetish. You made a since revised post about how you know that everyone is on here for massage , and "possibly more". You also have posted that you don't seem to understand why it might be considered a little strange or off putting for an unknown man to message an unknown non cuddle pro woman to say that they would like to cuddle without first putting forth an effort of building trust and rapport. I am not trying to say nor imply that age might not be be a factor when it comes to getting responses from people on here. People have a right to their preferences and comfort levels, and like it or not, age might be a factor for some. I'm sure that my age (50) is outside of the preferred range for quite a few on here (their loss). Nor am I trying to imply that there is anything necessarily sneaky or nefarious meant by your comments. You might just be putting your foot in your mouth , I don't know you so I can't really say. That being said, if I am being honest, based on some of what you post on the forums, I am not so sure that age is as much of a factor as you cling to it being .

    61 and counting here. I've posted previously about this to try to help others. I've chosen the Pro cuddler track. It costs $$, yet I've met several sincerely great female cuddlers within my age preferences. I have not been successful meeting enthusiast cuddlers so I will no longer try to engage with them. All this to say age is not an issue at all for me. All my best to all of you.

  • @Bohemianguy posted: "I would think some enthusiasts would either like hugs from a father figure or want to give comfort to an older guy."

    Neither of those were my reason for looking into the cuddle world. Both sound a bit fetishized.

    I've always wondered why having things in common seems important. I have the most fascinating conversations with people who I don't relate to.

    @MasonDixonCuddl posted: "I have not been successful meeting enthusiast cuddlers so I will no longer try to engage with them."

    That is unfortunate, though certainly a common occurrence. I am glad to see your positive outlook on it, though I also hope both Pro's and enthusiasts drop into your cuddle universe, as you seem kind and sincere. 😊

  • I am 61, I have had a few who I cuddled with in there 40s and 50s. I have not had a cuddle session YET with anyone younger then 40.

  • I'm now 58. My flatmate, who I met on the internet, is now 22. She was 19 at the time. We are great friends and our relationship has always been totally platonic.

    One on occasion we happened to have a gaggle of police officers in the living room, for reasons not directly connected to either of us. One of them took me aside and engaged me in conversation to understand the nature of the relationship between us. I said, "We're just normal flatmates." He looked unconvinced. "It's not weird," I added, "Just unusual. [Pause] This is London." At that point it all clicked in his head, he nodded, and that was that.

    The youngest professional I've cuddled from CC was also 19, although she'd been slightly disingenuous with her age on her profile so I didn't know she was quite that young. Anyway, it was a perfectly satisfactory session and she gathered a few Karma before drifting off as people do. I'm not sure of the age of the youngest enthusiast woman I've cuddled with, but it would be no more than 25.

    I find that on the whole I have much more in common with people in their 20s and 30s than I do with those my own age.

    The youngest person I've ever cuddled with was four hours old, but that wasn't from Cuddle Comfort.

    The whole reason why the site has any success is for older guys to pay younger girls for snuggles. Any other less common dynamic is just a byproduct of that main dynamic.

  • @Tom_D I agree that that is a major dynamic, but what you said isn't quite right. For the first half of its life Cuddle Comfort didn't have any professionals at all. Just enthusiasts.
