I had the SAME problem this week!! I don't even HAVE antibiotics to take though! It's still not 100% gone and I've been powering through this shit at work. My regs expect, "creamy squirting every show" So it's been a shitty week.... Just want to feel better! I don't think these squirt shows are helping my bladder..

This morning is unbelievably dead. I've made five dollars in thirty-five minutes and maybe five people have spoken to me the entire time. Saving my energy for tonight. Hopefully it'll be better then.

Today's rant, vent and everything in between is about late clients/lateness.
A client has an appointment at 10:15am for a color and blow dry. She texted me at 10:23am saying she'll be a few minutes late. That turns into over 30 fucking minutes. I told her I can only do the color and she'll have to leave wet.
I cannot fucking stand habitually late people because they think that everything is about them and ASSuming others should and will wait on them. It's an arrogant behavior. That shit won't fly with me because I'm a busy bitch. I don't have time for people who are lacking common courtesy.

Ageism. I really hate it and it effects not only men but women too. I AM NOT AN ANCIENT RELIC IF I AM OLDER THAN 26 FOR FUCKS SAKE. Normally, I just laugh it off when a guy calls me a MILF or a "mommy" but lately it's been getting on my nerves because I KNOW I look much younger. I CHOSE to have my cam age as 36.
I'm just going to ban fuckers who call me a MILF or a mommy now, bunch of ignorant, sick, fucking shits.

I have a pet peeve... Lately it really gets under my skin when I approach a guy at work and ask "How are you today?" And he responds with the generic "Well, I'm better now!" Or "better now that I've seen you!" Or whatever... I know it sounds like a stupid thing to get annoyed by, but after 10 years in the industry and hearing some variation of "better now" at least 3 times a night it really burns my ass. Like, you're not cute. That's nowhere in the vicinity of a original response. If only they knew how many times a night we hear that! Lol!
I'm also getting irritated with "negotiators"... If you want multiple lap dances, pay what you've been quoted or gtfo. We aren't running a Kmart special. This isn't a "make a offer" situation or eBay... We don't sell to the highest lo-baller. You're not special. The fact that I've lavished you with attention & made you FEEL special enough that you think you might get a discount means I've done my job and done it well, so pay me for it.

OMG Yes! The guys who say that on cam NEVER buy shows! I tell them that if they're better now for seeing me, then wouldn't it be nice to show me some love by tipping?
They immediately leave...EVERYTIME! Fuckers!:beat:

I'm irritated by RESISTANCE from my partner about living in Asia 3- 6 months.
These are some reasons why NOW ( in 4 weeks after we tie loose ends here ) is the perfect time :
1. His contract ends in our current location. It's very unlikely to get renewed since the company is reducing staff to preform a " flip " sale to a larger company.
2. We are DONE in this very expensive area without both of our incomes.
3. My income alone ( which I can get by working remotely ) is enough for us to live like Rock Stars in Asia .
I think I screwed it up saying " You wouldn't have to work if we go " so now I've got to bring the idea up again saying something like " We each just need to make 1 k a month from online projects " to go. That figure would be plenty for us over there and I could substantially reduce my work hours which would be great.
If anyone has any miracle advice to get your parent to come on board to a crazy travel idea, I need it !

It dawned on me today, mid cam session that I've never been on a date. Bad date stories? Don't have one of those. Good date stories to share gossip over wine with? Never had one.
I tend to meet people, either chat with them at length, or get to know them because we share a friend group or whatever or are in the same space and then just kiss one day and decide to be together. I've never "dated" anyone and no one has ever asked me out. Fuck. Really? Is this legitimately the story of my life? I believe right now it is and I feel like I'm a leper or something since people seem to avoid getting involved with me etc.
Oh well. At least I make good money.

While other women are on Facebook "in a relationship" with a new guy practically every other month (lol), I haven't been "in a relationship" in years. Once or twice a year I may get involved/hook up with someone new who I'm attracted to, but then that's it. It always ends up being a "Wanna hang at my place?" thing...never an invitation to take me out to the movies or dinner or anything. I don't get pampered on Valentine's Day. Now there was one year (last year, I think?) when I treated myself to a hot stone massage at Massage Envy (on Valentine's Day). It was wonderful, and I deserved it!

I am so fucking sick of sitting on cam with these lousy fucking earnings every week.. what the fuck is wrong with me? every single week sucks.. I really need to earn money another way .. this really isn't for me.. I have been working 7 days a week to barely pay the bills for 13 yrs now!... Maybe if I am lucky I have an extra $500- $1000 a month left over and that's living VERY cheaply .. as cheap as I can go... can't wait til I don't have to work at this so much anymore. it's never been for me.. I can't really get it to work for me.. it sucks that wasted so many years trying to improve with it.

I think what annoys most models is the fact that SM goes out of its way to make these contests such a big deal, yet with all the issues hardly anything has been resolved. I am sure there are plenty of girls who talk shit (it being through their Twitter, their business) but at the end of the night its not important and is unneeded tension.

My response to "better now" has been uber sarcasm, and it's making me money. I say "oh you are better now that you can see my cleavage? My cleavage is known to cure cancer you know. My cleavage has put a permanent stop on global warming." Just having fun with my response lightens the mood, keeps me from going insane, and shows my personality so I turn idiots into spenders.

Yeah, the 'better now' line that they think is oh so clever ranks up there with hearing 'that means it's free, right?' back when I was a waitress and some tiny thing happened. I know you think it's cute, but after hearing it for the 10th time in a day I just want to shove you face first into your potatoes.
Sarcasm = excellent response strategy. I like to respond with 'yeah, I'm so fucking fabulous it even blows me away sometimes. Now what kind of show do you want from my fabulous self?' Because they either get with the program or get lost and my regulars find my snark endearing.

I got on page 1 earlier this year and I got tons of nasty tags too. Lots about my weight when I was pregnant. I was 8 months pregnant and I got tons of "got fat, fat chick". I got the nasty tits tag too.. Which is so weird because these tits are the big bucks maker. Never have I been told they are "nasty". But oh well, to each his own. What did I learn? They're just tags. They don't reflect my bank account at the end of the day. :) Keep your head high and don't care if models are threatened by your success. It's just how the biz works. We look out for ourselves.

I agree 100%. This time last year was the best for me! Now it is the opposite. When I check my earnings from this time last year, I am amazed at how much I was making. Now I'm ashamed that I don't even come close to making as much as I was, and I've improved my shows, lighting, computer, etc.

I hate it when you do a session with someone, know you're doing well, know they're having a good time, and then they give you four stars. I suppose if you don't know how SM's rating system works 4 stars would seem good but anything below 5 stars is essentially a negative rating? Oh well, I should have enough 5's from the past 90 days that it shouldn't make any difference really.

Haha! I check my tags every day! I get excited when I see new one(s) (thinking that they're going to be bad yet very entertaining ones!). I got about 5 mean ones about a month ago. I still look at them and laugh my ass off. If they are models (which I think they are), you'd think they would have something better to do with their time than writing a bad tag that you can hide. Ha! Dumb fucking jealous bitches. Keep climbing that camming ladder, girl! Fuck 'em!

Camming sucks because I'm going through a bad case of ' burnout'.:-[
I can barely get through 2 hours a day on cam. I make good money everytime I log on, but the time seems to d-r-a-g on.
My phone sex lines are busy, but I'm finding it sooo boring. All my custies are sissies, or bisexual men sneaking around getting dick, and it's all i can do to not just drive a fork through my neck.
Most of the callers have shitty phone reception, and speak low in that creepy, rapey type voice, so it's really a drag.
Anyway, just a bit of venting. Thanks for listening.:-*
I'm suffering with the burn-out, too. I would LOVE to take a fucking break, but since I'm not wealthy, can't afford to do so. Plus, if I take a break, the placement that I worked so hard for will suffer. FML. Hugs to you, girl.

It's not that, there's just no traffic unless you're a front page model. I'm getting about one guy in my room every 15 minutes and one guy in a hour and a half on this other site I'm on. Hang in there.
Nope. I'm on the front page - usually around the 5th row. Traffic is dead for me as well. It's come down to if you're on the top row, THEN you get traffic. Kudos to the babes on the top row! I love you ladies! It seems that guys are not bothering to scroll down. I guess their fingers are all cramped from jerking their loser little cocks. Hugs!

Soo I donīt want to open a new thread just for this because I hope all negativity remains here , but I would appreciate it some of you could kindly help me out here...these last two weeks on streamate were awful, and on any other site Iīve been trying. I canīt manage to make more than 10 bucks an hour, and thatīs in a good day. I used to be on front page, on rows 3 to 5, deppending on the amount of girls. After a year off, my placement dropped till the bottom of page 1 and keeps dropping to the middle/bottom on page 2, and just getting worse. I barely get any traffic and when I do, they just pop in and out in a heart bit, I feel so ugly when that happpens. I do keep positive, but I also want to be realistic. So I was wondering if is normal to drop that many possitions on the listing after a while? Otherīs girls experiences would help me out so much because I donīt know what Iīm doing wrong...it never went so bad for me and I refuse to think the site is going downhill or whatever because I know many other girls doing great there. Anyway, every tip, experience or thought would be greatly appreciated.

I know its hard but try to keep positive, take a few breaks in between when it gets to much and make sure you keep energetic and smile when online.
I think it has been harder for all of us. At least for me sales went down too and traffic likewise (im on page one second row)
When things get rough make sure to do ther things next to work to reload your energy
