Have any of you ever had someone get angry oract butt hurt after you told them you have a boyfriend or a husband?
Someone that UST started chatting with me yesterday, and that purchased content asked if I would be on the computer later to free chat...
Kinda dont like lting, so I told him the truth, and that when I am at the BFs place,.I only use my cell phone.
He hasnt responded back to my message, but like, I have a feeling he is going to act butt hurt because I told him this.
I shouldnt ferl guilty though....it is NOT a dating site and I obviously have a life offline...

It doesn't hurt to tell them what they want to hear to get money. It's up to you. For me I have fake name, fake life, fake location (shrug)

Yeah, I tend to not say where I live...never even close...some of them are really clingy.
I should make up a fake life story...its just hard keeping it Al together and insync for each guy you tell it to.
I probably could have got more money from him...but it feels like if they bug me to come online to free chat...I need to give them a reason.
I dont mind free chat, but it seems when I cant get online is when they all want me on to chat haha.

@CanadianRuby I have this ^ too and I try to lead guys into pvt before I tell them things like my dating status, what type of guys I like, dick size I prefer, what size I think is small, etc. I see "do you have a boyfriend/husband?" as a time wasting question. They want to know personal things about me and take up my time but they phase it as oh I just want to get to know you. Ummmm no sir you just want to take up my time in freechat without paying. If they really want to get to know me then they can click pvt, exclusive, or even gold.

Why? You don't need to justify yourself to anyone.
If people bug me why I won't come online I just tell them it is the day I wash my hair. }:D

Uugh, I hate that I can't spend more than three days on my chat site without the guys becoming stale. They just catch on to the time I'll be online and sort of refuse to engage. I can't really do much different, every single day. Some days I have a countdown to a mild free-chat show and some days, I just set my status to "Hanging Out" and let them tip as they request things or just go private.
Just now:
He: "hi bb nice cans"
Me: "why don't you TIP $5 so you can see them?!" *smiles*
He: "i saw them yesterday"
Me: "well, why not again? you're here, aren't you?"
He: "maybe in a while"
Fuck you, dude. Welcome to my night... :/

Actually what I've noticed is that men spend more money on women that have boyfriend and husbands.
First there's the issue with competition. They want to appear that they are better than what you have at home. Some of these men actually think that if they spend enough you may leave your bf/husband
Then there are the other guys that are probably abit in the closet but imagine taking the remnants left after you bf umm cums. (cucks)
Now I'm single so I play up the single angle but that brings in a whole other type " she's available now's my chance". lol
It's up to you either keep your relationship a secret or tell them upfront. You may loose some customers but you'll gain a different group. I've seen the assess go through the "why does your man let you do this". But that's the same guy that comes in my room asking me " why don't you have a boyfriend/husband, don't you want kids?".
My point is you can't make everyone happy. So it's best to play with people that "get it". If this guy is getting butt hurt it's because he had "plans".
I didn't have a sucky cam day today because well I didn't cam lol. Still I just wanted to give you the reality that no matter what relationship status you have you'll make money regardless. Alot of the guys that are trying to hook up with cam models are actually fucking married themselves go figure.

Camming sucks right now because they are coming in to look at my apartment balcony AGAIN for the third time and they have told me that they will be here anywhere from 9 am to 8pm.
These people have cost me SO much money by having to come into my apartment at least once every two weeks for this thing or for that thing, it is fucking unbelievable!

Decided to pull an all-nighter and pvts started pouring in after awhile and first I had to decline them because my toddler kept waking up crying and wanting to follow me around because he does not feel well.
I missed a few pvts and logged off, got him back to bed and logged back on.
I put my rate up at 6.99 just to see what would happen. Guy immediately jumps into private and wants to call me on the phone. SM system calls but it would ring once and automatically be sent to voice mail before I could accept. He tries 3x, but no go. He says he's willing to do a long pvt, was in no rush, he just would like to talk to me while we do it.
I jump on Google Voice to try to call him anon that way, but google is taking forever to load (my computer has been randomly lagging and freezing for some reason I haven't figured out yet. Perfect time for that to start up again.)
The guy got tired of waiting and after about 8 minutes he says "Cmon sweetie, call already. This sucks" and leaves.
My room is still full, so maybe I can get someone else right? but as soon as he leaves kiddo wakes up and comes back in my room crying and I have to cancel free chat and sign off all sites.
I'm so frustrated! This would have been a day of back to back pvts for me had things gone right, but things beyond my control kept holding me back. But then when things are going slow of course everything is okie doke and I'm just sitting there in silence. I feel like this always happens when things pick up either on phone or on cam, something I can't control ruins it. It's like I'm only allowed mediocre or slow days.
I really needed this. Why me? *cries*

Could you may invest in a babysitter? a close friend you can have come over one or two nights a week for a few hours just to look after your baby while you cam?
well sick kids are always hard... I am sure it will be better when your kid feels better
also don't beat your self up... You really don;t know if you would have gotten back to back pvts.... I know that my room is normally fair busy right when I log back in and if I have been log on and off all day that is really case....
If you are sm when you log off it show like your are in pvt first then they have to refreshr the page to see you as off line

I thought yesterday was supposed to be a good day? Spend three hours in free chat and made $0. After that I didn't even have the motivation to log in for my evening shift, just poured a drink and said F it. Didn't even get any sales on MGF, just a bunch of paid messages so at least that's something.
I cannot WAIT until Sunday, my last day on Naked. That site can suck donkey balls for all I care. I'll still go on one evening per week for my regs who don't want to switch sites but I am DONE wasting hours in free chat for nothing, can't wait to try something new. I've been telling all the guys this is my last full week so they need to take advantage while I'm still here. And they're all whining and butt hurt, "But WHY are you leaving?" Because, I told you bitch asses at the beginning of April that if y'all didn't start tipping and doing shows with me I would need to go somewhere else but y'all didn't listen. I gave you fuckers two months to start being good customers but you just kept wanting to lurk and hang out free. I told these asses for so many weeks now that I am tired of wasting so many hours there with their broke asses when I could be making a living elsewhere but they didn't like me enough to give me an incentive to stay, yet now they are whining that I'm sticking to my word and leaving them all. Those butt munchers.

Thanks everyone for the encouraging words, I really appreciate it. Camming has been reaaaaallly slow for me the past week or so, I was so happy to see things picking up. That's why it hurt so much I couldn't take advantage. I'm behind right now and needed the money. Praying to the money gods I can get similar surge here soon. :)

2.5 hours in free chat. $0. Lots of the top girls are on tonight so I'm pushed much farther down the page the usual. Finally silenced one annoying ass lurker who has been coming on my room not spending shit but always trying to talk to me like I am some free entertainment and asking what's wrong when I give him the cold shoulder. I been telling him for weeks that when he starts using this pay to play site like it's intended he can have my attention. He wanna complain, "so you expect a black nigga to have the money all the time????" No dumbass, but I do expect that if you are on this site you should be able afford it. Fucking. Silenced. Funny part is he came right back into my room and is staring silently, unable to type, like he's fucking obsessed with me. I HATE this site.

I thought the site was mad at me because I complained about a member recently. haha

Via, definitely not just you! I was pushed down several rows but there's this one model I am always exactly two rows below and she was still two above me so I guess more top girls are on.
I just logged out and I am literally crying right now in anger and frustration. I sat in free chat for 3.5 hours and could not even make one fucking dollar. I am annoyed, I feel like a failure, I feel depressed, and mad, and all of these negative feelings. I also made $0 on MGF tonight since I've been chatting with a friend who cannot contribute right now because he listens and allows me to vent about my shitty job and I thought it would be better to chat with him than curse out every lurker that comes in my free chat. But now that I am crying my eyes out ANYWAY in self hatred I am going to the store for a couple of cans of beer because at least that will keep me in an okay mood.
My goal is only $30 tonight, but I NEED to make $30 tonight. Apparently I am a fucking failure who doesn't deserve to live and will be camming until the sun comes up for thirty fucking dollars.

OMG I am camming all night tonight too. I don't usually do it but had several migraines this week and knocked me way behind moneywise.
Naked sucks even more than usual. It's not you! I'm going to try to stay on another 8 hours and hope for the best. It's one of those nights I just want to reach through the screen and either strangle them or make them go private or tip! argh

Courtney, that's great you got back in. I hope it gets better. I'm so sorry the first part was so bad. I had a meltdown yesterday. $35 in 4 hours! I was too tired to get back & try again but you did it tonight and I'm inspired.

Oh honey, believe me, if I did not have a time sensitive goal I would *not* be on cam right now. But maybe it's for the best; this is my last full week on naked and not everyone knows I am bouncing yet. Hopefully one of my late night regs will come around and I can advise them to follow me on twitter for updates on which day of the week they can find me on naked after Sunday. (And, you know, if they happen to find out my new site and decide to sign up to be a custie on there that's totally fine, too.)
Yes, yesterday was craptastic on naked for me, too. I cammed for 4 hours in the morning, 7 at night, and made just over $50 over the course of 11 hours. Thank God my combined income with MGF got me above minimum wage, at least, as Naked.... All I can say is I should have gone for this beer earlier, IDGAF if there is one member member in my room... scratch that. Zero members. Not even guests. Well somebody knows what site is dying!

Thank you mama. If you are on MGF you can read my blog from this morning which was basically an ode to my cat. When I make no money (literally, none) and the only traffic I get is cruel trolls (though I admit they were kinda funny), seeing that furry face stick his tongue out at me and snuggle me for cuddles makes me not even care about stupid viewers and unmet goals. Yes, I need to make this goal tonight (1:35am, 0% progress) but he helps me remember that today is just a day, if it sucks it sucks, and I don't want to be a bad mommy and neglect his cuddles because I have to get on cam. So I let my boy curl up in my lap and point the cam at face level, they ain't paying anyway.
I have to ask, how house trained are bunnies? I was always interested in one but am so reluctant because I've heard they are hard to litter train.
And back on topic? Why can I easily get a reg to pay $20/min for a non-nude custom video but I can't even get $5/min for a masturbation show on naked?

Not sure about that but they will chew through every wire you own. My BFF used to have several and she is mad good at training animals, but could never stop them from doing that.
My kitties miss me. I think I might do the face-level thing since it's slow but as soon as I'd get a private the sassy one will start marching in front of the screen like he owns the place. Thexxxxy.

I had a bunny when I was a kid, it's a bad idea in my opinion and they should only be owned if you have an outside hatch cage for them. They will destroy every cord and wire maybe more. Very destructive because they want to be busy all the time. I have no idea how you would train them, because mine would go everywhere in the house little tiny poop drops all over. After awhile outside in his hatch, he started to turn mean as well. It's only a good idea in theory but I think they turn very resentful when they are 'owned' in a sense.

You know what? I stayed up until freaking 2am last night and my grand total for the night was $0. No shows, no tips, not even a paid message on MGF. I don't even care. This is too ridiculous to care. I usually do okay on Saturdays and pretty well on Sundays. Maybe I can turn it around. Maybe not. Thank you, Steel Reserve, for helping me to just be happy through this travesty and not bash my own skull in last night. Thank you, sexy Mexican, for the lovely fb conversation which put a smile on my face when no one in free chat would even say boo. Actually that's not true. I did have a groups of trolls try to gangbang me with insults in free chat. Do not care. Nothing can bother me.
I officially start my six month guest blogging job as of tomorrow. It's for a gluten free site and I subsequently have to go gluten free and report back on the effects as an experiment. So fuck you, webcamming sites. Today I'm going to buy some bagels since this is the last day I can eat bread until December. I will eat those bagels, and I will drink more beer (also have to give up beer until December, Jesus Christ), and maybe I will log on later tonight and maybe I won't, but this ratchet webcam site is NOT going to kill my spirit!

Courtney, sorry baby. When this happens to me I think "I want to scream but who would listen or understand?" We work hard-it really sucks sometimes.
Congrats on gluten-free & the new job! I'm a beer lover, and the best GF beer is Estrella Damm (red label-comes in a four-pack). Expensive but worth it by leaps & bounds. At least chocolate is GF lol!!
CourtneyRaine
05-31-2013, 11:58 AM
Thanks Via, I have never heard of Estrella Damm but I will have to see if I can find it out here. Probably not since I live in a ghetto backwards town. I am also vegan so I am going to be Really limited in what I can eat. Chocolate may be gf but since it has dairy in it I haven't had any in over a month (was vegetarian for years, finally switched back to vegan in April). I'm also super excited about my blogging job but as it is unpaid, I will still have to cam just as much as I do now while putting in several extra hours a week researching, taking pictures, writing, editing, and attending webinars and appointments with my health coach. I'm hoping the exposure will lead to paying writing opportunities which is what I really want to do with my life, but until then I'm still camming's bitch. But not naked.com's bitch. Never naked.com's bitch.

Hugs. You can always close your SM account, sign up through daily pay, stay with them for a little while, close your dp account, and then sign back up to streamates so you can get your full 35%.

MFC was having so many glitches last night/this morning. I had 10+ people in a group and it randomly kicked everyone out and then no one could see my cam feed for at least 20 minutes. I could see it fine but everyone was like "why was I banned from group?" and "where's the video?" -___-
