I love this thread! Omg
It makes me want to get online just so I can laugh at the dumb shit these losers say but of course no one comes to my room.
Anyway some guy came in and tried to tell me I should get a better cam if I'm going to be charging my high rates. A few minutes later I get taken to private for half an hour. HAHAHAHAHA laughing in your face you cheap fuck
My rates aren't even high, but if they're keeping out losers like you then I'm happy with them.

This is exactly how I feel. I've made less in a whole day than I normally make in a couple of hours. This is not the the week to get frivolous stuff...

I swear to god some regulars make me want to log off immediately and run far far away as soon as they message me. The obsessed ones. The needy subs. THE MOTHERFUCKERS WHO WANT THE SAME GODAMN SHOW OVER AND OVER, SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONCE PER NIGHT. Ugh. I will do the fucking show and get it over with.

It's ridiculous how quickly I go through inkjet printers. And the fucking ink ain't cheap either.
It's cheaper to just buy a new printer every time you run out of ink and use the ink that the new printer comes with than buy new cartridges. It's a fucking racket.

Chaturbate and Myfreecams have been slow too. It's probably due to the fact that it's the end of the month when people have to worry about bills and what not. Maybe once everyone gets their tax returns back then things will pick up.

UPDATE::: Okay so the guy is still doin the same crap. I've told him I cant chat with him all night I have to tend to my other guys (customers .. u know ppl who actually wanna give me their money). Tonight he tried every attempt to start a damn conversation which has nothing to do with anything then he goes "okay ive been thinkin about doing a private..stand let me see if your worthy" I replied "just let me know when you are ready" I tried to kick his ass out my room but apparently since he's a fanclub member I have to contact "Support" and explain to them why I wanna kick or ban him lol sooo fuckin stupid. He's so damn annoying. I've literally signed off twice... so he can leave and he keeps comin back. He just came back with $25 more dollars in his account. IDk if he's teasin me or what but I'm soooooo fuckin annoyed with his stupid cheap ass.

This tagging shit on Streamate is getting out of hand currently my blocked tags are:
"Ugly"
"Ugly Women"
"Ugly Face"
"White Trash"
Is this a guy or another model? I'm getting this almost daily with new tags.

It's probably due to the fact that it's the end of the month when people have to worry about bills and what not. Maybe once everyone gets their tax returns back then things will pick up.
Not wanting to dwell on this, but Americans who were getting tax refunds generally filed early and have already received ( and probably already spent ) their refund checks. Those refund checks were typically smaller than they used to be as well, due to new ACA taxes. The Americans who waited until the last minute April 15th deadline to file their taxes usually owed the IRS money - and after writing fat checks to the IRS now realize how broke they really are.
but where're the rest of the world's deviants
... watching UEFA or CONCACAF 'football' playoffs ? Down here 'way south of the border', the guys get SERIOUSLY worked up over their soccer !!! And I hear that western European guys are even worse !!!

Was your cam flashing each time you got disconnected? If yes then you need a new cam. My old Logitech C920 was doing that shit in the middle of Exclusive all the time!

Back after 10 days burnout and raised my price with 1$,a regular pop in my skype asking for show.I told him i'll be available within 20 minutes.Anyway 20 mins later he start to discuss my new price,calling me a lier and blaming me that i have raised it specially for him.When i explain the price is raised not only for him,but for everyone i got this:
HIM:I understand it can really suck doing this for a living. But you can either be honest about what you do or not. BTW had you done the call you would have made money in the last half hour which you didn't. Just like airline seats... Letting the plane fly with an empty seat end up with less money.You still can't explain the fact that you raised your rate right before I was going to call and you didn't warn me. Don't blame me for the things you have done.
Camming sucks becouse 8 out of 10 guys are pathetic loosers,broke assholes and ugly jerks who will cut half of their dicks rather than pay a fair price for the time we spend with them.Feeling soo unworthy right now ....:(

Whelp, 6.5 hours on SM and $30 to show for it. Didn't take any breaks except one hour when I switched to MFC to see what was up and got complete crickets. That used to be my main site and now I can't count on it at all. On top of this funtastic day, I've begun the lovely 2 weeks of major disorder-level PMS leading up to shark week.
Oh fucking joy. *hiss*

Hockey Playoffs, UFC, Baseball, Basketball - thats where all our men are! Its been soooo slow since wednesday. It has started to pick up tonight but not enough to be cheering about just yet. I'm assuming things will turn back normal soon because it seems pretty damn slow out there in the camming universe right now. Sports can't last forever...

I have an indie customer who's driving me insane. I don't do usually do rollover minutes, particularly when it's something complicated that requires a lot of clean up like his shows always do. He bought an hour a few weeks ago and stayed for thirty minutes but keeps messaging me complaining about it. I told him I wasn't going to do any more shows with him because of it, so he stopped complaining and bought another hour. As soon as I'm getting ready for the show (I stupidly gave him another chance), he looks at his payment history and starts accusing me of taking double money for a show because he forgot we did two shows in one week.
I'm done with him now. I'm so annoyed. The next time I get the feeling a customer is going to be a pain, he's getting blocked immediately.
After all of this, I offered to return his money for the show we didn't do tonight and he told me to keep it. So at least there's that.

I had a similar situation yesterday, I just raised my rates again and it brought on a bunch of random harassment, getting called name in my tags and getting my first ever one star rating. Stick with your higher rates, it's what makes up for these dudes being pricks!

Inconsistent spring weather is what I'd like to vent about this morning. I'm sure this is the reason that I'm sick. I'm over here taking my Zyrtec allergy medicine AND Vicks DayQuil cold/flu medicine, cuz I don't know which one it is. It went from being a beautiful 75/77 degrees one day (about a week ago on a Saturday...I sat outside wearing shorts), to being back in the 40s/50s. WTF? I want my 70s/80s weather! A couple days ago, I actually had to wear my heavier coat outside. Smh.

I have this guy who does skype shows with me. Big spender. Like $300 an hour. And we mostly just chat the whole time. He will buy two hours at a time.
That parts great.
But he will message me saying he wants a show at 11pm. He'll be ready in a half hour. So I'll log onto skype. Waiting... 45 mins goes by. Then he logs on.
"I'll send the money in just a minute baby!"
3 hours go by..... (he hasn't said a word).
2 more hours... he logs off.
A week later. "Hey babe want to do a show in a half hour?"
WTF dick!
Its not like I can say something to him either. If I do he might not do shows with me anymore. And its good money!
We have to go in this circle 2-4 times before we ACTUALLY do a show.
OH and he will also sometimes message me at like 5am when I'm sleeping. "Hey baby want to do a show right now!"

I really don't want to get off but no one wants to get off today. lol I didn't mean to make the sentence sound like that. Ugh I don't know why I'm nervous about trying out token based sites. All I"m doing is hanging out in free chat anyway.

I had low traffic too but it didn't matter because I got 1 long exclusive that made my day. However camming is still a bit sucky because everyone who is in rooms are mostly broke assholes. Gotta hold out for that 1%

Well you let him control you.. you hop to it whenever he asks for a show... it doesn't matter how much he is paying.. you need to set boundaries.. You are teaching him you are always at his beckon call.. he is making you sick and you are letting him.
I also want to add that you are a HUMAN being and you have the same rights as him or anyone else does... Money doesn't ALWAYS talk, sometimes it's to much bullshit and you gotta WALK!.. more than likely he'll continue to do shows with you when YOU want to do them. I have had guys like him. and I act aloof and do things for them when I want to .. show him who's really boss. The thing is, when men want a woman? even in this kind of capacity he'll do anything to keep you as your client.. Don't you see that? I have made guys pay taxes for mistreating me.. In the form of HUGE tips and they pay and grovel like lil babies who need a nap.

I never get ready or in physically or mentally... Until they pay.. So many guys seem so hopefull even regulars then don't show up.. When they pay I'm like ok Hun let me grab my things and I'll see you in a few which is usually like 5-10 mins... Most of the time I'm already doing shows so I don't need any time to grab things I just call right away

Had to split cam 3 sites for over 6 hours yesterday to make $70.. Tuesdays and Wednesday are such a shit show for me.. Oh well, staying positive! At least I've got all my main sites switched to daily pay which is SO motivating. At least I've started split camming which has SAVED my ass. Last Tuesday I only made $5 so things are looking up.
gypsy1
04-29-2015, 06:27 AM
^^^ I agree. Daily pay can be very motivating.
I hate that the $$$ is so unpredictable. I want to get on cam but I keep thinking about how I'll only make a few dollars if that. I was only averaging $10 an hour yesterday. 10 bucks is better than nothing right
EDIT: I was on for an hour. I had guys in a room and NO ONE took me to private. NO ONE. I made $3.60 from tips.
having 4 stars on sm sucks.... it really sucks when this is the longest I have had 4 stars and it not even because I was mean or bitchy... It just because i have not been on in so long and now I have only been on like 15 hours... i just need one more then I will have them back... I want my damn 5 stars
