I have an appointment with a professional cuddlist in two weeks. I've been interested in doing this for a while now. The cuddlist has a great attitude toward men. She says most of her clients are men and that she's had really good luck with them being good people. She said she recognized how much men get vilified nowadays.

It makes me wonder how my life would have been different if my need for human touch had always been met and it had never been dependent on finding a girlfriend. I remember now demoralizing it was when you had invested a lot of time, energy, and money dating someone only to have her capriciously cut you off. It would mean your need for human touch was instantly cut off and you had to start from scratch. Nowadays, the hostility toward you for even attempting to find a companion is unreal. A man is doing exactly NOTHING wrong by going out seeking female companionship. Yet today's feminists portray you as committing some kind of crime if you approach a woman and make conversation and then eventually say, "We should meet up some time."

Through tremendous effort and dealing with a lot of rejection, I did finally find girlfriends. Then they were indoctrinated by hateful feminist dogma. I finally said "fuck it" and decided to try the MGTOW philosophy.

It does make me wonder how different it could have been if a cuddlist had been available to me in those frustrating dating years. If someone turned me down, if someone stood me up, if someone flaked on me, if someone gave me a fake phone number, I would have always been able to have a nice human touch session with a pleasant woman who was understanding. It could have made a huge difference.

I believe many women know they're in control of men's basic need for touch and they manipulate that to gain advantage -- to gain status and money. I've always found that dehumanizing and sick.

Now I can opt out of the dating cruel game and get my touch needs met anyway.
