When dating profiles/chats mention cuddles

I'm online dating at the moment. It's predictably awful. Does anybody else get the major ick/sex pest vibe when men mention either on their profile or within 5 messages that they like cuddles/would like to cuddle you?

I feel like it's trying to force a theoretical physical boundary from the offset, laying expectations/not so subtly trying to hurry up the physical side of a as yet non-existent relationship.

YABU they just want a hug
YANBU they are already thinking about you with their penis

Horrendous. And also it’s like, you don’t even know me mate, you just want to indiscriminately cuddle any woman you can get without even properly knowing them. Gross

I get guys after sex. Said i wasn't interested in sex. Bloke asked for a hand job instead cos he missed a womans touch. 🤢🤢 I suggested he get a blow up doll instead and blocked him!

It’s just a PG way of them saying they like sex isn’t it. Surely that’s a given in any adult relationship (unless you’re both asexual etc) so putting it on their profile is just a bit weird to me.

It’s like “I enjoy cosy nights in and going out”. So you like being alive then?!

and “looking for my partner in crime” means absolutely nothing. Waste of a word limit. They’re just so unoriginal.
