Hey I’m new here

Hey, my names Gnow Wan (pronounced ‘no one’). I’m originally from Chicago and I’ve been here on my own since November. A year of loneliness has inspired me to create this account and reach out to you guys. Any advice?

  • Welcome to the site!

    A good place to start: read through the site TOS, the FAQ, the Help Center articles, the contracts for pros & clients, and all the stickied threads in the General and Pro Cuddling forums. There are a lot of great free resources here that will help you have the best experience possible on the site and while cuddling.

    Another thing to consider: your profile currently sounds like you're seeking a significant other/romantic partner. This isn't a dating site and using it as one is a recipe for disappointment and eventually getting banned since this is a strictly platonic (non-sexual, non-romantic) site. Think of this more as a Facebook for platonic cuddling than as a dating app where you mindlessly swipe through profiles looking for "the one". Instead, it's best used for building connections with other people who enjoy this niche hobby, or for seeking professional cuddling services from pros like you would use business pages.

    If you're not actually seeking a romantic partner or dating, rewording your profile would likely increase your success as women won't be scared off thinking you're here for the wrong reasons.

    Best of luck in your search!

  • So I’ve made my profile how do I get people to notice me, I’m new so I’m not sure how all this works can anyone help me out?

    @DB02 welcome, and same advice as above: read all the available resources.

    Participating in the forums is a great way to get more profile traffic, but also only a very small percentage of the site members actually even use the forums. There's multiple forum threads in General and Pro Cuddling that outline steps to take for better success.

    A few to start with:

    • write a detailed profile that shows people why and how you would be as a cuddle partner, why they should choose you;
    • do a search for local cuddlers that meet your criteria, but don't be afraid to extend them a bit - using a larger radius, age range, and fewer qualifiers opens up a larger field of potential cuddlers;
    • reach out to recently active cuddlers in your area with thoughtful intro messages that show you've read their profile and why you think you'd be compatible, etc.
    • And finally, try attending local cuddle events or hire pros - networking, getting experience, and positive karma (reviews) all help increase odds of more cuddling opportunities.
