I'm so happy that they removed the video previews. I have noticed less lurking in my room since they did that on April 23.

Hey ladies, if anyone is online now, are you ahving traffic? I have 3 hours online and restarted many times, even changed the webcam and i have 0 traffic and only 1-3 potentials which is not normal. Don't understand what is going on. Would be super helpful if anyone can share. Thank you

the weird thing for me as well is regs are coming in say hi to me and then leave. its so weird.
i am offended. i feel like an idiot sitting there with very little shows. but then i just checked the main page and the top row seems less than 5 ppl in a room
so IDK. i am used to a lot of action. but i did take days off for my period so IDK maybe since the contest i didnt log on and its a problem. and i got 1 star last week

I had a couple of decent shows that saved me on tonight's shift but getting the same issues....Long periods with noone even coming in. Several guys who dpnt usually have an issue telling me there getting blank or frozen screen.
I looked at my room a couple of times and it looked pixelly which is really disappointing after being so excited about having my new cam.

Fake anal? I must have missed this! I don't do it because I really don't enjoy it but I'd love to know how to fake it, if someone has time to PM me that would be great, best it doesn't go on here eh!! :)
Totally agree with the big toys, we should all be offering things WE feel happy with, whether that's big toys or not, each to their own. Nobody should feel they have to be doing anything on cam that they don't want to, whatever that is.
Yes! The main thing about this job is to be happy doing what you do! It's a work where we interact with other people, its easy to burn out if we are not happy.
Big toys, or faking big toys, or small toys, or no toys at all...It doesn't matter much if you shine. That's what matters. I know there re some twisted minds who like to see a woman suffering and forcing herself while performing, but honestly...who needs such fucktards in their shows lol

To all of EE/Latin America girls who used to use VPN to change their location to English speaking countries!
This is VERY IMPORTANT!
Make sure to group message your customers they should TURN LOCATION FILTERS OFF to be able to see you!
Turns out the SM region filter has the priority over the favorites list, which means YOUR SUBSCRIBERS CAN'T SEE YOU ON THE MAIN PAGE ANYMORE if they have the region filter on - unless they have it set to your region specifically. You're just gone for good to them, they can't find you even when searching by name (see the screenshot).
Please spread the word and message the support about it. I don't believe this is the way SM meant it to be (because this would be outright discriminatory). FAVORITES LIST AND NAME SEARCH SHOULD HAVE PRIORITY OVER THE REGION FILTERS, and the models the member has as their favorites already should always be visible to them, no matter the region (because hey, the fact they've favorited the model means they're fine with her language skills and whatnot). Region filters may change models' display priority on the favorites list, but never exclude them from the search results completely.54890

I've messaged the support and asked a few users to report the filters/favs and name search conflict , and also scheduled a group message notifying my regs I'm not gone and they have to turn filters off from now on to see me (should work as a quick fix).
I guess the problem has always been there, just not seen until the location update: the no-VPN models from non-English-speaking countries would hardly get faved by members using location filters (or get them in their rooms at all, for that matter), and the VPN-using models appeared to them just as models from their preferred region normally would, so noone and nothing was affected (at least, not visibly: the user and the model would just think each other to have left for good).

Been logged in for a while only to be reminded a contest started today....lol. oy vey, I feel like SM has never heard the saying "too much of a good thing..." maybe if they didn't do contests so frequently more people would be more motivated by them instead of discouraged! just some food for thought but who would actually listen to lil ole me :p.
Just gonna hustle like I usually do and pretend its not going on. had an old regular who hadn't spent money in a while do a long ass show so thats some motivation on its own. sending good vibes to all ^__^

Ladies, in your 30's what's your opinion on being called "MILF" ? It's odd, when someone thinks I'm a young college student and the next is asking if I have kids which I don't. If it makes me more money being called MILF maybe I should just go with it.
^^^ Better not, u too young for that especially if u dont have kids, just milk the COED niche till u cant anymore :)
The question has deeper meaning for these guys, they ask me if i have a daughter or son to get on cam with me ... see where this is leading, i block them instantly.

Thanks! I still get asked "Are your parents home?" by people who come to my house that I own. LOL. I guess some people can tell I'm in my 30's and others can't.

i lie about my profile age by a few years (i'm about to be 31, but i've been listed as 28 on SM ever since I actually turned 28, except for the two week experiment where i truthfully listed myself as 30 and i got a totally different traffic demographic that i didn't like.) i find being "almost but not quite 30" brings in a better mix of my preferred types of customers. i never liked MILF guys because they tend to be young, broke, and crappy at conversation, haha. (or would get weird about wanting to talk about kids. nope.) at least in my experience.
but if you don't mind it and it's making you money, i'd probably just embrace it.
you could also try experimenting with putting yourself as mid to late 20s for a while and see how it affects the quantity and quality of your traffic (i assume you can pass for that age if anyone's also thinking you're a young college student.)
edit to add: i saw your last post about getting asked "are your parents home" so if you look *that* young to a lot of guys, then you could experiment with an even younger 20s age. but i think you have to find the right balance. you'll get vastly different clientele the younger you present yourself.

I mean I usually shush the MILF stuff since I don’t have kids but embrace the cougar aspect. I really like a lot of my younger clients, I don’t think they really are anymore broke then other age groups. Obviously not as a whole but as customers looking to pay for sexual satisfaction, a lot of these college guys have unfettered access to credit cards (in their name) and can be more generous then jaded middle aged guys. I also don’t have an issue with them because well I enjoy fucking hot guys in their 20s irl.
Also I appreciate the ego boost of them telling me how good I look for my age more then mostly getting away with it and having a few people question if I am lying about my age.

I TOTALLY LIE ABOUT MY AGE! I'm 49 but I list my age as 40. I get guys all the time who don't believe I'm 40...even in real life. I always took care of my skin ..no sun..sunscreen etc and NO drugs. I use high quality skin care products. I also never had kids..that might have something to do with it and I am a total loner. I have almost 0 friends and a few close family members who live out of state. I go to high extremes to keep my life stress free..no kids and no hubby. I hope to cam for at least another 10 years and just save all of what I earn for retirement. I like camming. I don't love it.. but I love the $$$. Lighting is a HUGE factor too. I work in the film industry and lighting takes 10 years off my face. Full direct soft box light and a soft overlight fill in any gaps or "wrinkles". I also wear almost no makeup in real life and on cam. I might get a little botox in the future but I'm going natural. Just take care of yourself ladies and NO SMOKING!!...that shit adds years to your face

I'm in my 40's and I HATE the guys that come in and tell me I don't look my age or look good for my age (I post my real age). To me it's a backhanded compliment and I just ignore them. It's offensive because they're basically telling me I should look "old" at my age and since I don't then "I look SO GOOD FOR MY AGE!"...Ugh, I'm getting angry just typing this out lol. Guys have a delusional perception of age and what a woman should look like at said age. Tip me, your "compliment" means jack shit.

I totally agree in real life btw, I meant more so I appreciate it from a selling aspect on cam. Nodding and taking their compliment and turning it into a sale works a lot better then trolls who are not invisible making ageist insults. They all have zero idea what our ages are most of the time and their standards have no basis in reality.

I don't care when guys call me a MILF because I assume it's a term that for most guys is interchangeable with 'cougar,' sometimes I can't tell if they mean it as a backhanded compliment or as an actual compliment but again either way, I don't care. What DOES bother me though is when a guy asks me if I'm a MILF. Usually I'll get stuff like 'Ooh a MILF' or 'You're a sexy MILF,' which is fine, but a guy asking me if I'm a MILF and thus specifically trying to find out whether or not I have children grosses me out. You're on a sex site, the last thing you should be preoccupied with is children. I always ignore it when they ask but on the very rare occasion that they press it(which is fortunately like, less than once a year) I'll ask them why they're talking about children on a sex site. It always runs them off.

I get that, and we all have different hustles. I'm just a mean ass bitch on cam so I have no problem telling them where to take their backhanded compliments and shove it lol. It's not a selling point for my persona and I never nod and take any bullshit, so I usually just ignore them unless I'm in a really pissy mood. To each their own ;)

“Ageism is the last form of socially acceptable prejudice.” Bill Mauher
As a baby stripper, I was nice to the older dancers 35-50. Like it’s not my business why they are doing this as an older dancer. As a woman, you can be just as unhappy in a traditional relationship vs being involved in transactional relationships with men. I’m personally more fulfilled with my transitional relationships than “real” romantic relationship where I’m just being used for sex and attention in the dating world. I enjoy being able to do what I do at this age. Yes I look good! I take care of myself.

HEY LADIES A HEADS UP FOR FRIDAY NIGHT!...It's the NFL Draft and that is about as big as the first football game of the season. So if it seems slow...that could really be a good reason why. It was also on last night. I'm not even bothering to get online and cam until it's over. I waited until last night after it was done and I did well...even with a contest going on. Just a footnote....

I personally try not to think of things lot football games, contests, holidays or anything like that when I cam. For me, it puts a negative doubt in my mind. I just get on regardless. I was really happy with today. Made my goal of $100 in a little over 4 hours. It's less than what I normally make but it's $100 more than if I didn't work. Got about five new favorites and a few 5 star ratings off of it too :) every little bit helps!
