I've been on CC for two months. It wasn't until the second month that I started finding and meeting people in my area, but during that time I have met and cuddled with six CC members. One has come back three times.
It takes a lot of work -- yes, work! -- and it's a continuous process to answer messages, correspond with the most compatible, and arrange meet-ups. I began to have more success after participating in the forums. Quite a few people messaged me to say something nice about something I'd posted. If you rely just on combing through the cuddlers, I think you're going to be less likely to find someone.
I've met someone for coffee once to see if we were compatible (a very wise practice). We seemed to get on very well indeed but with reflection they decided that cuddling wasn't for them, cancelled our cuddle date and deleted their account...
Oh well, the search continues...
I've been on CC a month and have met with two people and I am seeing one of them again in a few days. I've also had conversations with several people through the site. Like others said you have to put yourself out there. My area isn't very active with cuddlers, but I live on a major highway so lots of travelers. Make connections, make thoughtful posts on the forums, and tell your friends about the benefits of cuddling!
I've been fortunate to meet several fine gents via this site.
As we've said in the past, the cuddle communities on the west coast are few and far between especially in major cities like Las Vegas and LA. If you do a search for either, you'll find very few cuddlers at all and most haven't been active in a while. I got very lucky to meet someone I connected with the very first time on CC for Vegas,
I have and can't wait to again!
I've been cuddling for years but have been back on CC since August. I pretty much cuddle daily. Sometimes several in a day but they all aren't from CC. Since August I've probably cuddled 20 cuddlers from CC. It is definitely a lot of work to make that happen
I've met someone on here and had a really positive experience! It took a lot of going through and messaging people, and I also found using the "visitors" tab useful. If I saw a potential cuddle buddy had viewed my profile, I'd have a look a message them, just in case they were too nervous to message me first! I think it's also easier for me because I travel to the two nearby cities lot, but if I didn't do that then there is nobody around.
@BlueIris and @Scarlette Excellent point!
I am drawn to this site over dating sites because I know l do not have the time/energy to put into dating at this time. But the correspondence and coordination required of this type of project still requires a decent amount of work.
It makes me wonder if that is part of the reason so many of the female cuddlers on the site are pro: the coordination and time required, especially with what seems to be a heavier load of requests and messages than the males are expressing, really necessitates compensation if the females are to earnestly respond to and coordinate with the high number of requests? That could be so off, and I welcome any disagreement with that statement as I'm no expert (and BlueIris, I know you have managed your time expertly without charging -- so impressive!), but that's a thought I have, particularly because the gender disparity and lack of female responses do come up on the threads so often. (And I'm not saying I'm exempt either-- I'm sure my frequent lack of response to messages have frustrated others as well. All just ideas running though my head tonight as l try to distract myself from the sting of the Dodgers loss :-)
I met someone from here last year and cuddled a few times, though to be honest I've had more luck finding people through Facebook, Tinder (believe it or not, there are actually people on Tinder seeking platonic cuddle buddies only!), OkCupid and Reddit. I think it's good to try a range of methods because you never know where you'll find someone you click with.
@sunflowerfield. Great point! I have a Facebook account for my cuddle business and also use dating sites. I've had some amazing cuddles from these places.
Met one cuddler from here and will meet again.
I've now met and cuddled with 9 guys from CC in 2.5 months. Yippee!!
I've cuddled with 18 from here since the end of August and cuddled with most of them multiple times. I'm a cuddle monster!!!
@Scarlette You are a cuddle monster!!! Something I aspire to be!!
@Scarlette, wow! Makes me wonder what I am doing wrong
Probably going to go cuddle someone from CC on Saturday! I'm excited, a little nervous, hoping it goes well
I met Scarlette today!!! We had lunch and gabbed for 5 hours!!! She is a blast!!!
Not a soul.
Same here @overstuffed. As long as I exist on here there is a chance so maybe at some point I will. I think it's likely that I'd get more interest if I posted a picture but I generally don't post much information about myself online. I've never liked to.
@JasonCuddles Well, I have posted a pic (as you can see), put some basic information, and reached out to folks in my area (and outside the area. I just chalk it up to individual preference and choice. I'm just not what others are looking for.
I've met a couple of people on here now, including one cuddle buddy I see regularly now
