@FunCartel I don't think he's normalizing poor behavior, merely commenting on how things are. Seems like a good first step toward change
@Keira: I didn't intend to offend you or justify men's inappropriate behavior, simply to offer perspective. Personally, I have enjoyed platonic cuddling. Want to try an experiment? For a week or a month, run your page with only the photo currently #4, for the following week or month run it with only the photo currently labeled #5. You can see if there is a difference in the quantity or quality of responses. Not exactly a scientific study, but the results could indicate in real-time whether the photo/type of photo matters.
A psychologist would have a field day with this thread.
Wait...we're all psychologists...
Let's have a field day! (refreshments not provided)
@MsLazarus it's relevant because some people would not want to cuddle with a person who has a bigoted view point regarding gender preference.
I think the site is getting weeded out which is a good thing. I like that my searches pull up fewer people that are active.
Umm.... MsLazarus do you even know what you're talking about or are you just trolling on the forums over here? The member made a comment that was incredibly sexist and homophobic. It would be obvious to, erm.... people that aren't sexist and homophobic.
A couple new people joined in my area December of last year. Then they left. No new cuddlers have joined since 2019. The existing cuddlers never replied to my messages. I wouldn’t message someone a second time. I get the point. Luckily, I found a cuddlefriend through MeetUp. And in the upcoming months I plan to go to my first cuddle party also through MeetUp. Where there’s a will there’s a way. But it’s so much work for crumbs. This isn’t a complaint about this website. The website is only a platform for what the users are prepared to do. Thank you for that CuddleComfort. It’s just a challenge to be a cuddle-ready person in an alienated, shy, and antisocial society.
@MsLazarus... nice choice of username. I honestly doubt you are the "daughter" of "Redford", but you certainly are hitting pretty close to home, especially given that you've named yourself after resurrection... do you really have nothing better to do than make another fake account in order to defend yourself? VPN usage has been banned because too many abusers use them to come back and make fake accounts, sort of like what you just did.
I also see that you're calling out @MissAdventurous again in a place where she hasn't even posted. You should seriously get your head examined, "CuddleBearRob" aka "cuddler97230".
@chococuddles that Thanos comment though LOL stop.
i haven't read all the responses on here yet but i like to think that with good faith, the site will be doing us well again soon if it's not doing well now for us. despite what's going on in and outside the site, i think as long as we stick to our cuddle missions, everything will work out, despite how it goes the next couple of months or years. i got faith on this site still.
Trolls keep trolling til their account gets banned then on to the next troll account being created by same users like whack a mole
@Keira - If you try the photo experiment, be sure to let us know how it works out. Thanks & good wishes.
@Catloaf I find it interesting that VPNs are banned when the don't allow access to begin with. The only place mine works is public hot spots. Everyone using a Smartphone on a public WiFi signal should protect themselves with a VPN. If you doubt me, turn yours on and try to logon to CC.
@PeopleLikeUs
When would this even come up in scheduling a platonic cuddle? It's as likely to be brought up as your blood type.
I agree with Roamer about Keira's photographs. I would regard three of them as sexually provocative. So I am not at all surprised that men proposition her for sex. What else does she expect?
@MsLazarus I don't doubt you, Don, because I do use a VPN on a public Wi-Fi signal, and have tried to access the site while accidentally having it turned on. Regardless, it isn't some big conspiracy like you make it out to be. Too many unsavory individuals have tried this trick, and so which is more important: allowing people the freedom to use VPNs in order to protect themselves, or letting abusers get away with their tricks? Luckily, I don't use public Wi-Fi signals very often, and thus I don't use my VPN in such a case when I'm at home. Probably because unlike you I don't need to hide. Hm.
@Catloaf
The Mod claimed picture was a fake, doctored. I know nothing about her, it was just an example used by Redford to point out uneven moderation . A point was made, the Pic was evidence.
@Catloaf Are you intentionally misreading my comment about VPNs?
Redford was banned because he was "suspected" of using one, when in fact that wouldn't work to begin with.
Ps Who the heck is Don
Pps. Lazarus is a reference to my recent divorce
@MsLazarus I find it a bit too coincidental that "relatives" and "friends" of a certain stalker/troll on here keep popping up to defend him... Give it up, Don. You're now going out of your way to type your posts in a format that doesn't match your past ones. But you're not fooling anybody. "On a mission", your profile says. "CuddleBearRob" was "on a mission" too according to the very words written in his profile, to clear your----oh, wait---- his "friend's" name. Tell me you're a distant relative of Abraham Lincoln next and I'll believe it more than I believe the current garbage you're spewing.
Ok, folks. That's enough here. 27 APR 2019 22:31 EDT. Closed.
