I think that men supporting men during challenging times is a wonderful idea! As a woman watching from the sidelines, I'd want to see the focus of that support be "how do we be the kind of men that women want?" as opposed to "how do we get more women?". It's a very slight shift of focus that feels a bit less predatory.
@xelda absolutely agree with you on that. I think a big part of the disconnect when it comes to not finding cuddle friends or meaningful connections on here is due to wanting to focus on what the other person can do for me and how I can get my own needs met . I find once you start to focus on what is important for others and meeting their needs, making connections happens pretty organically and easily .
@xelda @pmvines YES!!! Exactly this.
We are ALL here because we feel a need to be held and feel close to some one.
This has to be kept at the forefront of your thoughts, the person you are trying to connect with is seeking the same thing.
A connection they feel comfortable and safe with to get their own needs met as well.
This is by necessity a mutual sharing of ourselves, keeping this in mind will go a long ways towards getting that cherished response that may hopefully lead to a wonderful cuddle.
