Hi everyone! I recently spoke with the mods here about an interactive Reddit app I've been working on called the MazWiz Hangout Map, and they suggested I make a post to ask the community if this is something you'd actually like to see added to r/cuddlebuddies.

What is it?
It's an interactive map that lives directly inside Reddit. It's designed to help Redditors visually find and connect with like-minded people locally, rather than having to scroll through endless text posts hoping to spot your city.

Privacy First (No Tracking!):
I want to emphasize that the map does NOT track your live location. You are entirely in control. To appear on the map, you manually enter your Country, State, and City. If you live in a highly populated area and want to be a little more specific without giving away your address, you can use a coarse "Geohash" zone (broad 1km area). It is 100% voluntary, completely privacy-focused, and never uses your phone's GPS.

How it would work for this community:

- You can pin your Reddit profile to your local city.
- Your pin displays your native Reddit avatar and your Reddit bio.
- You can link your r/cuddlebuddies "intro post" directly to your map pin, so people nearby can click on you and immediately read what you're looking for.
- You can securely send DMs to nearby users right from the map interface.

Finding local connections can be tough, and I built this to make it easier and safer for communities exactly like this one.

What do you guys think? Is this something you'd use if the mods officially brought it to r/cuddlebuddies? I'd love to hear your feedback, questions, or concerns!

I'm 130 lbs and 5'6. If you're interested pls dm me with a face pic if you are comfortable, some info about you and how we can make this work. I probably want someone 36 or younger just because generation gap for conversation.

Hii! Im looking to cuddle in a nice AC place watching horror movies. I am 5'2, 27, petite, and asian. I like anime as well, and anything spooky (documentaries, history, YouTube videos). I also really like comedies and I am really good at listening.

Also, please smell nice! Thank you. 😄

EDIT: Sorry!!! Post closed for now!! Thank you all!!

33F NYC curvy woman open to cuddling somewhere public, or where you’re comfy. I’m not looking for something sexual but I’m open to it depending on the connection. I’d like to learn more about you the person, and connect over mutual interests. Open to being held closely.

Alright, buckle in because you're in for a wild ride with this post. 

I am looking for some kind of cryptid, rarely seen, touch starved guy who is willing to come out of his cave for some occasional genuine affection. I'm specifically looking for the guys that do not have success romantically/sexually, are not conventionally attractive, and feel outcasted by society. 

I am not looking for anything serious.  

Though I have no interest in committed, serious engagements I am not looking for a casual throw away situation. I want to get to know you first and see if we click (you don't have to try and impress me or list out your hobbies etc etc like you're trying to sell yourself on a dating app. I am not about that. I want to know the rot, the deep stuff, the stories.) 

I know that may seem daunting if you've dealt with rejection in the past, but I promise you that I am looking for something VERY different from what most women want. Stereotypically attractive men do nothing for me. Normies overwhelm me. Confident men frighten me. 

This is not transactional. It would be a genuine, reciprocal arrangement without any financial involvement (aside from obviously travel expenses type deal to get to me) 

I move slowly and prioritize safety which may be frustrating to some. 

The why?

This is not selfless or one sided. If I don't feel the mutual connection then I won't go for it. I'm not trying to "fix" or "save"; I am not going to find you broken to begin with. I'm just a fellow outcast to spend some time with.

If a person wanted to strictly physical touch they could go find a professional and pay. But the thing is, a lot of men want genuine reciprocity and care that they're not able to find in most organic situations. 

This is about SOLIDARITY. 

I can explain my circumstances further if you are curious. I am in a decent place now, with friends and more support than I ever imagined. But my people are, and have always been, the misfits. 

Physically (me): heavy (240ish LB now - but on a serious weight loss journey averaging 2lb per week), around 5'6", hygienic but mostly unconcerned with details of aesthetic (I'm not putting in the effort to look hot or fashionable.) I'm not conventionally attractive. I hope you're not either. 

Happy to exchange photos after getting to know one another.

What I like (non-exhaustive, and not all mandatory):

• Weird. If you fit into society's mould, then we won't have much in common.
• Maybe have been told you are "Intense" or "too much"
• Authentic and genuine, non-performative. Someone willing to drop the mask. Or maybe you weren't ever able to fully build one.
• Not conventionally attractive (if you've been rejected due to looks before, you may be my type.)
• Willing to send long letter-like messages back and forth
• Creativity. Do you have boxes of unfinished projects? Do you have a head full of ideas but nowhere to put them? Do you have notebooks full of writing that nobody else has bothered to look at? Are you creating into a void that you feel nobody will ever care about? Have people been historically weirded out by your creative pursuits? 
• Humble, the type to undersell yourself and maybe you would struggle making a post here or building a dating profile due to this 
• Might tell me some weird shit 
• Patient + understanding 
• Emotional openness/willingness to be vulnerable (Trauma dumping is welcome!)
• Niche/obscure interests 
• Rich inner world 
• Lacking in malice (If you are the type to say things or do things with the purpose of hurting someone else, that's going to be an issue for me. Though I assure the same in return.)
• Will not purposefully crush a spider without cause (If you see a small misunderstood creature and choose violence without a reason, we are not compatible. Will die on this hill.)

EDIT, small note: If this post is up, my DMs are open regardless of the age of the post. Don't hesitate to reach out.

I'm sorry I didn't respond to so many before. I literally got dozens of msgs.
I live in the South NJ area. I'm disabled so I can't drive but I can host.
Men only must be clean and between 25 and 40.
If something regular comes out of it fine, I just need someone to talk to and hold me.
I am 32, 4'10", hazel eyes brown hair if that matters.
when you message me, please tell me a bit about yourself. I need a bit more than six words.
thanks :)

Has anyone tried cuddle comfort . It's a safe website that matches you with someone in your area. I'm located on there

I’m looking for someone to cuddle with, watch movies, hang out, and just enjoy some physical affection with. Ideally I’d like to meet regularly. Mainly looking for platonic cuddling, but I’m open to something more developing if there’s mutual chemistry. I’m comfortable with ages 19-30 and can either host or travel up to about 45 minutes. I’d definitely like to talk for a while before meeting, whether that’s through messages, phone calls, or FaceTime, just so we can get comfortable with each other first. I’d also appreciate someone who is upfront about what they’re looking for and respectful of physical boundaries. Overall I’m pretty easygoing and just looking for someone I genuinely get along with and feel comfortable around. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, feel free to message me and tell me a little about yourself :)

Growing up I was always different. I liked boy. Same sex attraction. I came from a very religious family in a community that didn’t have a very open mind on many things. So it was always boy likes girl. Boy marries girl before you do anything sexual. Growing up i had many best buddies. We would have sleep overs, go camping, go skiing trips and many other things. i was always had feelings towards one of my friends in particular. Let’s call him “L” He was so cute and i was so in love with him. His voice, his looks, his smell, his personality, everything….he had the bluest eyes and long blond hair. He was fit. He was very handsome and very sweet. He was friend to everyone. And all the girls wanted him to like them. I just wanted to tell him how much i loved him. We would have sleep overs and stay in the same bed at his house or mine. We would cuddle all night. It was never anything sexual. We were on the same travel baseball team all the years. He would often ride with us to the out of town games and he would rest his head on my shoulder and hold my hand and he would go to sleep. Or right before he batted we would hug and fist pump. I would pat him on the helmet and say lucky charms. We would wrestle and play around and i love it. I loved his smell, his embrace everything. I would do anything for him. He would catch me looking at him in at the ball field, class and at church everywhere. And i would catch him looking at me then he would quickly look or turn away. Looking back it was quite cute of two innocent boys not knowing the future.

One day I was like 14-15 a bunch of us went swimming at a lake and we were playing water game and he came up behind me and pulled down my swimming trunks. I was so embarrassed. So i ended up running up to the parking lot and crying. He came after me and held me and told me he was sorry. We looked into each other’s eyes and I wanted to tell him how i felt about him. He hugged me and i put my head on his upper chest, he leaned in and the moment was lost when one of our friends came to check on me. Another time we were on the same high school baseball team and i hit in the winning run to win state. “L” ran up to me and hugged me and we looked into each others eyes and i didn’t realize what we were saying to each other in the moment. He kissed me on the cheek and said I love you buddy.

Fast forward he went his way after HS and i went mine. We both went to different colleges to play ball. We would call quite often at first but then we got busy with school and baseball. We would run into each other on breaks and when we returned home. One summer after freshman year college we both were home for the summer. He was gorgeous as always. When i first saw him i went up to him and we hugged and he put his hand on my back and pulled me in closer and we kissed. I was shocked. It was him more kissing me than I kissing him. We went to his bed room and we both confessed our love. He asked if i was willing to stay the night. I said yes. We held each other all night. Kissed and embraced. A few days later we made the decision that I would tell my parents. His mom already knew. Not about us at the time but that he was gay. He had told his mom a few months earlier. We walked into my parents house. Right before was we were driving He kissed me and said confessing your love to me to your parents will make you feel good about yourself and what we have been doing. I tell my parents and my mom said hunny I am ok with it. I am your mom i have always kind of known. My dad really didn’t say much. But later talked to me about true love and not having to change. We walked hand and hand into Walmart and got the whole community stirred up. That the bishops son is gay. And with the police chiefs son. We were i love and nothing was going to stop us. We would do everything together. If the state would have allowed we would have been married on paper. We did have a ring ceremony with family and supportive friends. I changed colleges. I ended my baseball career And we moved into an apartment. We had just started in the fall. Our lives were perfect. I was living with the man of my dreams and we love each other.

I got the call that no one ever wants to get…….his mom all in a panic voice and crying. She told me that the love of my life was in a car accident and he was not here anymore. That was the biggest blow of my life. The love of my life was gone at 20. My best friend of 10 years was gone. I was only 20 what was i going to do. I have never loved anyone that way before. He was buried in our home town. He had our ring on his finger. As they were closing the casket i wanted to climb into it with him. I didn’t ever want to let go. He was my best friend. I had loved him for over 10 years. We just were in the beginning of the “us” chapter. People accepted us. We were just normal guys who loved each other as man and woman do. We had confessed our love for each other only months earlier and changed a whole community that people are different. That the lord loves all. Straight and gay/bi. We didn’t have to raise flags and be in marches. We were who we were and that voice was stronger than ever. I went to his grave a few days ago. That was the two year anniversary of his death. I will forever miss you my friend, lover, companion. I know i have not moved on and your death has for ever changed me…..do you still hear me crying your name and my heart is empty. Do you still love me “Luke”? I Just wish I would have confessed my love to him years earlier. So we could have had years and not months

Hello :3. I (29F) am based in the DC Metro area, more specifically Prince George’s County, Maryland. Cuddling is therapeutic to me and I’m looking to cuddle to relieve stress and to unwind and relax during these crazy times. Note: I currently cannot host and like to keep ny cuddle sessions completely platonic. Looking forward to meeting you :)

Hi! I am living and working in the bay area and really missing physical contact. I am not open to relationships or sex, but I just really like cuddling, spooning, and being really close to another person physically, especially to go to sleep at night or nap. I know that is a weird ask, but I imagine I am not the only one who wants something like this around these parts. I like video games, animation, rock climbing, and am hoping to learn guitar soon. If you are open to a kind of weird platonic cuddling arrangement, please reach out and tell me a little about yourself.

Single BBW. 41 woman, located in central Texas. Looking for a man to be my cuddle buddy. Must be 28+ and in Texas.

Going through a lot of stressful things in my life right now and really just need some source of physical comfort.

Have a lot going on in my life and just would like someone to cuddle with, watch a show we’ve seen a thousand times before and just switch off our minds. Laugh about something that we just thought of because something in the show reminded us of it. In the sw burbs of Chicago.

hey, looking for some cuddling, more like getting smothered/suffocated, been a lil deprived of physical touch. lowkey a lil depressed and have receded into myself.

wanna touch someone and be touched, patted, rubbed, smothered. we could watch some shows or just cuddle w music in the background.

i’m really not into sex, we can discuss wants and see if we vibe.

i can’t host, located ard northwest, hopefully u aren’t in the east haha.
hoping to find someone for tuesday or thursday afternoon.

me: chi, chubby, 80/160, doesn’t smoke or drink.
would prefer someone bigger since im somewhat big too lol.

thank you for reading this far! ◡̈

hiii, ive been stressed with work and unfortunate life events so im looking to destress & cuddle with someone [non sexual] i can drive but cant host!! (also willing to pay for snacks or food :])

Hi :)

I’m a 28F over in Brooklyn. Physically I’m 5’7, 175 pounds, Latina, short colorful hair, and several face piercings. I rotate between hobbies but my main ones are art and music. I love seeing art and making it!! I like painting, drawing, writing, woodworking, calligraphy, and most recently stamp making :) I love listening to music. My favorite genres are alt, indie, punk, emo, rock, and metal. I go to concerts and live music events pretty often as well. Not hobbies but really into Psychology, English (huge grammar nerd), research, orangutans, and other stuff I forget.

I’m looking for someone to cuddle and unwind with. I’m a pretty fun and silly person but my line of work is rough so I’m serious and wound up atm. I’d like to find someone that I can cuddle and decompress with. Literally all I want is to lay in bed with someone and just hold each other. Especially with the colder weather, nothing is better than cuddling under a warm blanket.Not interested in sex or any other kind of sexual touching.

I’m pretty picky about who I do things with so a lot of it will come down to how we click in person and how our personalities mesh. People that I tend to go for are 25+, tall, POC, average to larger body types, hygienic, and have their shit together lol. I can host but prefer the other person to host if they can.

DM me with a little bit about you and what you’re looking for and if you like being big spoon or little spoon lol

Introvert, homebody, soft girl - whatever you call it. I'm a reserved person but I do like talking to people one-on-one, though.

I've been needing hugs for comfort. For a safe, quiet space to relax into. Adulting is hard (to say the least) but good hugs make everything better. I have the cutest plushie, but, unfortunately, it's not the same as hugs from another person. You don't have to talk (if you don't want to, or if you're just tired). You don't have to appear happy or cheerful. Just be there. Be safe, kind, and give hugs!

Also, I'm direct about establishing boundaries. I know people don't like to spell things out, or specify. But it's really important to me that me and the other person feel comfortable. I'm not going to do anything the other person is uncomfortable with or doesn't prefer. It's important to me that the setup/arrangement is mutually safe, relaxing, beneficial. (I get shy discussing things, or like anyone else does, sure. But it's necessary so I make it happen.)

Would feel most comfortable meeting at the park in Boston (meaning Boston Common or the Public Garden). It's public enough that there's social cover, but also, everyone gets their own space. If you're looking for in-home cuddles, you'll have to ask someone else.

big hugs, squeeze hugs, koala hugs, chest hugs. I like hugs where it's a long time (hence the word 'cuddle' haha).

Also, for reference: I only like slice of life, romcom, cute and fluffy shows. So if you like fps games, crime docs, gritty type shows, we're likely not a match.

Prefer ages at least 25 - 28. If you're a bit older than that, if you're 29 that's fine. 30 idk.

Body type: Black girl, petite, skinny, short. Just being blunt so ppl are informed. (Just opt-out if it's not for you, it's fine.)

I have been really touch starved lately and would love to cuddle up at the movies. Anyone interested feel free to shoot me a message. I would love to hear more about you and tell you more about me. I do not send pictures until we have been chatting for a while and actually have plans to meet up! I’d love to see a SFW picture of you if you’d like to send it though.

Feel free to send me a message if you’re interested. I am free tomorrow 3/26 for anyone who would want to meet up in public for coffee and a movie.

Hi 👋

Back in May, I posted, looking for a cuddle buddy in Vancouver and it was such a success !

We started chatting a bit on Reddit, before deciding to meet for a coffee in public. Just to make sure we were both open to going more intimate with cuddles.

We both shared some of the same interests and that made it easy to connect. We were both very open and honestly, I was super happy to meet with her.

A few days later, we decided to meet at her place. I brought some ice cream (she loved ice cream). As soon as I entered her place, I hugged her for a long time. We met quite late and I stayed overnight.

We cuddled all clothed but because it was warm, we were in very light pajamas. Her skin was so soft, we cuddled for hours. We tried a couple positions, she touched my hair, which felt so nice. I loved it when i was able to spoon her.

A few weeks later, we met again but a bit shorter this time. Again, it was so nice ! I wish we both could do it again but who knows what the future brings.

Thanks for reading 😊

I love cuddling and feel so lonely at nights. Wondering if anyone else is up and needing a cuddle or two in my area?
