I was reading various things found (that is, googled up) on the internet about "cuddle buddies," when it dawned on me that most or all of the writers are, shall we say, "emotionally challenged" people who should not be writing general advice on human relationships for the general public.
E.g.:
http://www.lovepanky.com/flirting-f...buddy-rules-to-avoid-turning-into-fck-buddies
http://elitedaily.com/dating/sex/10-signs-fall-cuddle-buddy-becoming-winter-cuff/
http://elitedaily.com/dating/cuddle-buddy-ad-craigslist/1286841/
There are tons more examples of utter bullsh*t about "cuddle buddies" online, but what they all fail to take notice of is that a cuddle buddy is first and foremost a friend. It's astonishing that anyone needs to point out anything so obvious! But all of these "authors" see a "cuddle buddy" as something akin to a very large human shaped hot (or warm) water bottle meant to keep them warm during cold nights -- and nothing more --, certainly not a person with needs and feelings and so on. Sheesh. Let me outa here. This culture is crazy!
--------------
Edit: the first article in my list above says, "Cuddle Buddy: a person whom you only snuggle or cuddle with. There is no relationship that extends beyond exchanging body heat and physical companionship."
Oh, really, no tea or coffee together, no conversation, no watching movies or taking a stroll together and talking...? Just the Human Waterbottle? Nothing more? Well, f*ck that and the horse it rode in on.
