There's a Dating App for People Who Just Want Cuddles

So what was the inspiration for this app of good, clean all-American fun? According to the Cuddlr website FAQs:

"Our culture doesn't have a space for closeness without pressure. The way we talk about meeting and sharing space and contact with someone assumes that it's centered explicitly around sex and dating, or based on the kind of affection a parent might show a child. We're not getting the right type of contact often enough; we don't give and get enough hugs. Hooking up is certainly not always a bad thing, but there's definitely an under-explored time and a place for a more gentle, no-pressure intimacy, and that's what Cuddlr aims to help with."

If you are interested in using Cuddlr, all you need is a Facebook account. And a phone. Duh. Currently, the Cuddlr app doesn't reveal gender or age, so the filtering is done only through the photos.

For those who have been rejected on Cuddlr, we know your pain. We send "cuddle requests" to our cat every damn day and never, ever get an answer. They just ignore us until we smother them on the couch with hugs while yelling out, "Love me!"
