Camming sucks because today I received one of my first chargebacks ever. It was a session from last weekend where dude wanted me to get drunk off my ass. I wasn't going to seriously do that so I went to the kitchen and poured some juice in a glass and said it was a cocktail and acted like a drunk whore off of it lol. So it wasn't a hard call, it wasnt a long call, and it was only about $20 my cut, but still it freaking sucks. Gotta figure out how to block him cuz I'm not sure if Imlive automatically does that. Why is there no official IL thread here? Hmmm.
They took your money because he complained you didn't ACTUALLY get drunk?
What the hell o_o

The biggest turn off about ImLive is The Chargebacks, IML CLAIMS it's members who refuse to pay but i know for sure a huge part of the deal is THEY IML are taking money off performers pockets, as a performer u cant prove they steal u and cant do anything about it but swallow it.
F***g greedy people having in mind the percentage they pay models is 30% for new girls or 35% for veterans (of few years on site) or models in hall of fame. Every time i wanna give the site a chance again (i am a veteran there) i get pissed off cause of a refund and stop working. Thats why i stay with SM, at least on SM even i get 30% i know i can count on them.

I agree, that we all would love to hang out with Doodlebugs, and we love her! But we are women, not post pubescent (I know I spelled that wrong), guys behind a computer screen, who most of the time, take 'Kindness For Weakness'. The only thing that will tell you what works, is which persona makes the most $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for You.
I always 'switch it up', depending on the people who are in my chat room.
For instance, yesterday started off with mostly abusive guys, (even those i have seen before), and no prvts. So, I logged off for a while, came back with lower prices, and just wiggled around without saying much, and ---back to back prvts. and exclusives. made my daily goal with less aggrevation in about an hour.
Sometimes it's not worth it for me to sit for a long time and read negative remarks(i was also in classic chat), and it still happened.

You can tell someone to eat shit.. everything sounds better with a SMILE ON YOUR FACE, My point is smile and say NO or set your boundaries and shut up!.. that's the way you be a bitch wtihout them thinking of you that way.
Ah, yes, I've read the book several times. The thing is that for me, on cam as in real life, people just get pissed when I go bitch on them.
It's like I have to be nice just the right amount of edge showing, and the required amount is a variable factor I've yet to figure out. Makeup - cleavage + 30% edge = bank? Glasses - makeup + 20% edge x smile = bank? Ugh math is hard.

Oh you have NO idea.. I met them in person a decade ago... some of the techies admitted to re-directing traffic to their favorite models.. etc etc .. they are VERY Dirty and underhanded.

I think whether you got drunk for real or not it would of still been a chargeback. Thats why i haven't step foot on IMLIVE i refuse to work for FREE! They still owe me some money.Every time i get close to payout there is a FUCKING CHARGE BACK! sorry i just honestly think the site is taking our money for themselves

Victoria, that's one of the last things you should feel bad about. It literally happens to all of us. Actually, whenever it happens to me (yes, it happened more than once) I'm laughing out loud. THEY should be ashamed of themselves for attempting to pull off such a lame-ass, cheap, unbelievably stupid move. I honestly feel sorry for these guys.
Instant ban and moving on.

I had one guy just go "Put me down for 150 [towards my goal]" And when I said he actually had to contribute that 150 he left. I wish I had toyed with him first. I had a guy today who keeps trying to get me as his online girlfriend. No. No. No. Keeps begging for Skype and "What but I thought you want this and you won't go nude for me!?! I just want to spoil you." I hate that he was the only person who gave me tokens today (100).

It's ridiculous.
I had something like that last night.
The whole, "your bf doesn't deserve you, I would worship you every night. You would never have to do this job!"
Oh and my favorite, "I'm going to work soon so i can make money and come back to your chat soon. Your the only reason why I work."
So you don't need electricity for your computer? >.<
Camming sucks because I got up at one thirty and cammed until six. Barely made twenty bucks and blocked more people than I would have liked.
Thankfully I got to see some regulars who informed me that they are working as they watch me so they'll have money this weekend.
Hopefully it'll be better in a bit and I'll try again.
Camming sucks because out of all the things I will do, men just kept asking about me fucking dogs and wanting me to vomit.
My faith in humanity dwindles daily...

To be honest, I got off after an hour and a half. Only made $5 and since it's MFC (and i know we're not supposed to worry about the cam score) I didn't want my numbers dropping any lower. I'm already at 650. I'm gonna get back on in a little bit. When I got off all the premium people had 0 tokens on them so I wasn't going to hang around.
VictoriaChaos
07-02-2013, 10:17 AM
There were just dudes in my room that told me they didn't have any money so I left too.
I don't blame you. I hate when they just want to sit there and talk like you have nothing better to do with your life.
Umm hello, I'm working. This is not my whole life!
I started getting angry and being rude to people.
I know it was time to go at when I couldn't even fake a smile anymore.
The next person who asks if I have a Rottweiler will be the reason why I go buy one and feed him hotdogs for my amusement.
Yeah, I have a rottweiler but he's much more partial to dicks than pussy. ;)
Annd are they asking to watch you puke because they really want to or because they want the satisfaction that they actually made you do it?
I'm really curious about this fetish...Getting off topic. Maybe I'll do some research.

I just logged on again for another hour. After the only premium in there tipped me and said it was the last of his tokens for a while, I finished the convo (he tipped me for being able to quote Monty Python) and then left. I know I'm new but I'm trying SO hard to not get discouraged on MFC.

So now I'm on page 4? Really?!...

Camming sucks right now because guys have spent more time asking which province I'm from than taking me to private.
And of course the question which proceeds "which province/state are you from" is "cool, which city?" omgggg why does it matter where I live, I'm here to get naked for you

Damn, tonight was the worst night I've had in a long time. I know it's the first of the month and people have bills, so I'm trying not to get discouraged..but I made 40ish dollars in just under 4 hours tonight. The average amount of guys in my room was only 30-50. Awful. I tried to keep my best face on and still talk and have fun, but it was super discouraging. Will try again tomorrow.

Camming sucks right now - or, rather, I suck - because yesterday I had my first anal session on cam, and this morning I woke up with excruciating stomach pains and a fever, so it's most likely a UTI (will only go to the hospital in the evening). So much for working on the 4th of July...
And it sucks even more cause all I can think of while laying in bed having terrible pains is that I hope my placement on the fourth page yesterday was just a glitch. I just want this pain to go away, why do I care about this now? :(

Thanks so much, Marina.
It's ironic, actually, because I'm having it so much easier with anal, it's almost unbelievable. I mentioned in another thread having issues with vaginal penetration/tightness and pains, so over time I became much more weary of "Put toy in pussy" then "Maybe try anal?". It's even... pleasurable for me.
Anyway, back to the point: I really, really hate to admit it, but now that I think about it, maybe it's not even because of the anal yesterday (I came to this conclusion because the last time I got a UTI was a day after my partner and I went from anus to vagina. A huge Don't-ever-do-that, I know); I just... I use one dildo, and again, I hate to admit it, but it's been a long, long time since I last washed it, out of pure laziness and carelessness. But I guess I learned my lesson now... hopefully.
AliceFun
07-03-2013, 06:37 AM
What??!! U used a dirty full of germs dildo that u did not wash cause of laziness and careless?
OMG girl, u should never ever do that, wash toys after each use (yes each use not only shift), always use toys for pussy only and anal only, keep them separate and always clean! Also never anal sex then vaginal. Wish u to get well soon xx

I had my first anal session yesterday too :) Eeek, but I am so sorry you are feeling bad. I was sooo nervous that I would end up with a UTI as well. I hope you feel better, dear.

I think that guys are able to hack you or the site. I had that problem on naked.com , one idiot was able to start group shows himself ( minimum 4 guys have to join it), after 2 or 3 weeks of the same issue ,support found out the guy , he was changing his username everytime he did it.

I kinda scheduled a session with a regular, so I hope he shows up in an hour or so and saves the day. Otherwise... yeah, I'm screwed tonight.

Yup, it's in 6 hours. I'm in that time zone and it's a little after 6pm here. I'm sure some of the guys will be getting home before midnight though. Not all have somewhere to be that late and it's rainy where I am so outdoor parties are probably canceled. :)

None of which said anything or stayed. Think I'm going to call it a night. Gonna try to get up early tomorrow and cam all day to try to make up for tonight sucking lol
