Cuddlr – The No-Sex Tinder Alternative App

For singles out there who find Tinder and Grindr just too aggressive, there’s a new dating app that might just be what you’re after.

Cuddlr is a ‘sex free’ app that matches people who are just after…a cuddle.

Note: ‘sex free’ means no sex, not sex that you don’t pay for FYI.

 
For those of us not in a relationship, the freedom to come and go as we please, sleep with whomever we want and eat pesto pasta for dinner four nights in a row is all very well and good but the lack of close human contact can get bothersome.

Rather than surround yourself with friends and family, get a pet or take up a fulfilling pastime the tech geniuses behind the app reckon all we need is some intimate physical contact with a stranger.

Right.

Like Tinder and Grindr, the app uses GPS technology to find users a local cuddler (cuddlee?) who they meet up with, cuddle and rate them based on how good a hugger they are.

Cuddlr creator Charlie Williams explains the thinking behind ‘the app for cuddling’:

“On Cuddlr, you get together straight away, have a little cuddle, and then part ways.

“If you want to hang out again, you can exchange information then and there – but you already know what kind of cuddles they give.”

“Kind of cuddles”? Oh that doesn’t sound too sinister…

In the spirit of inventing totally pointless dating apps that will probably take over the world, we’ve thought of 11 dating apps that if they existed would help us find our actual soulmates:

1.    The app for people who like watching Game of Thrones for eight hours straight. Must be on the same season and vow never to watch ahead.

2.    The app for people who know that it is an unwritten rule that when driving on the motorway, the only conceivable meal is KFC.

3.    People who are into couples role play but are only attracted to strong female characters like Buffy, Xena and Olivia Pope.

4.    People who understand that dogs are better than babies. Bonus points if they’ve deleted Facebook to get away from pictures of 12 week scans.


5.    People (okay, men) who vow to always have a full beard. Or at the very least, sexy stubble.

6.    People who want to go on holiday all the time but refuse to stay in hostels. Travelling down the Mekong River sounds delightful. They have a Four Seasons there right?

7.    People who own all 10 Morrissey solo albums. He’s a poet and meat really is murder.

8.    People who only eat the green triangles and strawberry delights from the Quality Street tin at Christmas. Hands off the purple ones.

9.    People who don’t know who Kim Kardashian is. Bonus points for thinking Cheryl Cole is only average looking.

10.    People who give amazing foot rubs. And hand massages. And who want to play with our hair.

11.    People who can make amazing Whisky Sours (and stop counting after the first four).

[After 24, no men want to date you. Sorry.]
