I have seen a lot of unusual or odd jobs like smelling armpits to test deodorants done by some people but this Professional Cuddler job is unique and can bizarre as well!
Meet Jackie Samuel, a 29-year old professional cuddler who can earn $260 a day by cuddling strangers. She can snuggle 30 men in a week and that includes men whose wives passed away, war veterans, problematic in relationships or just need to have someone to be snuggled. Her $60 an hour charge can make her survive the day-to-day living , for her studies and for her son. She even established the The Snuggery, snuggling service in Rochester, New York.
A lot of people find her job odd or bizarre and some even called her a prostitute. Ahhh.. there are really strange people in the world. Would you hire a professional cuddler just in case you feel lonely or don't have someone to hug or snuggle you?
That's really odd. Misinterpretation cannot be avoided with this cuddle me job. This reminds me of the American TV series "Dollhouse".
ReplyDeleteHmmnnn that is a very odd job indeed but soothing in a way lol. I guess when you have money and you don't have someone to snuggle with, it's the best option!
ReplyDeletestrange job, but i guess better than nothing or do illegal job, at the same time she was also helping others. and nope i wont hire someone to snuggle me to sleep. i was trained and used to be sleeping alone, until little Destine came along :)
ReplyDeleteI know cuddles and hugs are really comforting. Pero di ko alam na may professional cuddler pala. $6o per hour is a high rate!
ReplyDeleteIt is odd but if done for the right and "sincere" reasons, then I see no issue about it.
ReplyDeleteI have read about this na in Stumble Upon. I was amazed with the lady's 'guts and abilidad. Pwede rin sa Pinas yan.
ReplyDeletei'd rather be unemployed if that's the only job that's available, if I'll have to cuddle Mel Gibson or George Clooney, that's a different story, LOL
ReplyDeleteGosh, this is my first time to have read or heard about this job. I can't imagine such career. How bizarre! But it's good to know that she works cleanly, right?
ReplyDeletethis is one great profession, i told my husband about this odd job he just smile, and knowing i love to sleep, this would fit me at all...hehehe
ReplyDeleteOdd job indeed! I'd be very uncomfortable snuggling a mere stranger so hiring one is not for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's actually a win-win situation for both the cuddler and the one needing the cuddling. Of course, it's hard to do away with misinterpretations because of the strangeness of the job but who cares? :-)
so strange hehehe, I also read this kind and this time a student in Japan. Is there a male cuddler too? :)
ReplyDeleteEven if I am lonely I can't hire and beside I am uncomfortable with strange so this is not for me.
ReplyDeleteI have yet to know one doing that here in the Phils. I can just imagine what moralists have to say about this, lol!
ReplyDeleteAnna
really? that is bizarre...made me think na inde lang pang snuggy ang ginagawa nya...things happen...lol!
ReplyDeletea cuddle helps a lot to relax and put anyone to sleep...an odd profession indeed...but something so uniquely helpful...scientifically speaking...:) this made me smile...:D lost for words :)
ReplyDeletefirst time for me to hear about this kind of job. its odd and must be hard for her too. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha... Amazing! I never heard such job at talagang may snuggling service pa talaga... :)
ReplyDeleteI read about this sometime ago in Yahoo!
ReplyDeleteThis is indeed a very odd job.
that is a very interesting job! i dont think i would want to have a job like that, u can never trust people now a days. they might take advantage of you, or rape u. hehe
ReplyDeleteshe is very brave.
