Friday and Saturday were my best days. Sucks that I only made half of my damn goal for this bonus. Hopefully, this week will be better. This job drains the life out of me but it has inspired me to start writing again. And this week has given me a lot of things to say.
I had a customer that wrote me the most garbage message yesterday. He didn't get what he wanted from me and let me know that I am nothing but useless trash. A loser. A whore. A broke bitch.
My feelings weren't hurt but my resentment towards men grows stronger every day. Camming has ruined men for me.
Camming has ruined men for me.
I told my therapist "If u only knew how men are FOR REAL..."; that's why i am single for this many years, i cant trust men anymore because we get to know them at the deepest level intimacy can bring them, with us they are REAL, outside our rooms they fake.
Also, can it be we are exposed to a certain type of men same like doctors are seeing mostly sick people cause of the nature of their work?
Logically not all people are sick and not all men are crap, can it be we are seeing them like this cause of the nature of our work?!

Today sucked. My room was busy but no talkers and no spenders. I gave up for the day. I'll try again tomorrow.

I guess the holidays have brought out the lonely and broke timewasters. If I get one more guy complaining about how he's broke, horny, and wants me to get him off for free or just on Christmas vacation, lonely, bored, and looking to chat and get to know me, I'm going to scream. The vanilla world needs to bring back the AOL and Yahoo chatrooms or some kind of service for that bullshit. Buy a show or gtfo! On top of it I was split streaming on sm in addition to another site and for whatever reason I wasn't showing up online on sm even though I was on cam.

I was super cute when I was younger and full of energy, dated a ton in my 20s and 30s. I'd like to think not all men are crap but in my experience quality men are few and far between.
I gave up for awhile but thought I had a good one in the past few years, was with him a long while, was planning to move in with him but discovered (accidentally but so obvious he probably wanted to get caught) he was doing all kinds of things with women behind my back including advertising to meet on Craigslist. Glad I found out before I sold my house and moved in. Doubt I'll ever trust a man again. I was so so sure this time but nope!

You totally right, it's very difficult to find a good man especially when u are a cam model.
I felt that my last guy was The one but i was wrong, he was fascinated by me the cam model but never really cared for me the human being, the woman behind the lights and camera so i left him plus he lied about important things, glad i figured out who he really was before getting married officially cause we were in the process to deposit the needed documents at the city council; 10 years passed by and i never been with another guy again so yeah, most are not to be trusted and are more trouble than joy.

I know what you are saying but it was just as difficult when I worked in an office and later in a hospital. Still the same experiences but I was way more in the dark about the way a lot of men behave behind their wives and girlfriends backs. I guess they cant all be that way but damn it sucks.

Imma need these broke ass n***** to clear tf out my room and leave forever. $20 in 6 hours fml
On an evil side I miss the old update CB had for ignoring idiots. I used to love seeing the message ERROR: USER IS IGNORED pop up on my screen so they and all the customers can see what a fucking idiot they are. It was low key a way to embarrass them and save me time from reading their rubbish

Lol had a guy tipping me for 1.5 hrs then we go to Pvt and he gets a 2 min show. I bet he is awful in bed if he thinks I came. 2 2 min pvts and some tips and now a dead room, but I drank some coffee and am gonna tough it out tonight. 90% of this is staying on and that is the most challenging part. Especially when you are looking at an empty room after paying too much attention to a cheapskate.

I feel the same way. People always wonder why i'm single and its because of everything you just said. We see a different side of men from every walk of life, doctors, business men and blue collar workers. Most people would be blown away by the things we see, I know I am. I'll never be the same person I was 3 years ago before camming, and if I knew then what I know now, I would of never got into the biz.
I cam for 18 years now and the 1st couple of years I was really shocked by what men are up to when they come to us considering I come from a part of the world where these things were unknown really, I mean for me it was an eye opener to a new world.
Is hard not to be judgemental when u see a perverted side of human nature, I don't mean the 'normal' guys looking to wank over a hot model, I talk about the dirty things they into, some illegal like pedophilia, bestiality and such.
It happened in real life that I saw the real nature of a medical doctor that treated me, u don't wanna know the details, just like some of our members are :(
I can't trust men knowing what I know now.
I hope one guy one day will make me change my mind :)

No shows yet today for CMD or NF either. Sigh. Why do we do this to ourselves? Girls bank hundreds, even thousands in a couple hours and all I want is $50 bucks a day. Thats all I want!!!!! Even sitting on page 1, I cant make a buck or even get gold show approved even though I've been here for like ever.

I can't say I regret knowing how most men are (and yes I do mean most). Better to be prepared than clueless and far too trusting like I was before.

True. I'd have every 18 yr old girl camming for 6 months, as a training for life. They would ALL know how to not accept bullshit from men anymore after that.

They should make this mandatory by law! Not even 6 months, a week would be enough! I'm confident with saying that no other jobs teach you how to read people and see through their bullshit especially men better than adult work. It gives you a wider perspective on people, on life.
I don't hate men, I love men. Being a hoe actually helps me understand men better and only allow men to treat me good. I can't be the only one but being a Hoe also raised my self-confidence and made me more secure with my body.

I was having issues with my cam on my main site. I was on for 2 and a half hours and suddenly it didn't want to show up. The other one just had nothing but freeloaders with the "I want love" bullshit. The fuck? Again, why are these idiots coming on cam sites with the "I'm broke and looking for love so give me all your time and attention for free" crap?

This shift last yr (the shift the day before nye/nyd) I was making 4x hrly what I am tonight.
If this NYE/NYD on cam sucks this year (the past 5 have been super profitable besides all the bs/glitches leading up to them!) I'm going to drink a huge ass bottle of wine and stay in a drunken stooper until the week is over so I have an excuse not to torture myself any longer.
I ALWAYS look forward to camming this contest but 4hrs in (sure, I'm planning a lot of hours) so far and its looking really really grim. Not cool man, not cool.

I'm so over these cheap ass dudes. We make shit on commission and have no choice but to charge higher rates on SM. That was my private rate. Guess he missed the exclusive one or he would have had heart failure.

That was pricey 'for him' and compared to how little some models charge, he felt it was too much for his wallet.
My pvt is a little less than $5/min and the exclusive is $5.99/min and i am getting 30% off it cause i am in a 2nd tier country, honesty when i charged higher they did not buy anymore so i lowered my fees to the point where they started to buy again; i know we all want to work with high prices but maybe they are too high for our clientele, i mean i am not a high ranked model and never will so i charge according to my ranking so to speak.
I prefer to sell shows at a medium fee and log off after 3-4 hrs cause i cant stay long on cam to catch whales; even at my fees some will say it's pricey cause they wanna pay $1.99/min or even less if possible but i know for sure less people will buy my shows for $6.49/min pvt and a lot higher exclusive.

Was a bad night for me too. Was ridiculous in cams.com and went on chaturbate too and was pretty dead. I was planning on that and used the time to test splitcamming software for the first time. Chaturbate really didn't like the splitcamming software on my system. I should have went on the night before but my shoulder was sore from talking.
Just gonna make content today and go back on the first. I started at 9 and ended at 3am and made $6.
I know it will get better, it's just good that I get on. Working on marketing and job search while it's slow.

Camming doesn't suck for now, but men do. Especially those who act cocky for less tokens.
Was blackmailed today by a dude who wanted to see me naked quickly in pvt on the second day of the year after I told him I don't wanna get naked "for a quickie". Woowie. What a great way to start the year *eyeroll*
I'm not gonna give men shit this year no matter how nice they are. This year is all about me and my health. And it goes first, all the way.

Congrats on your new nose, I am sure you will kick ass on cam from now on ;)
I wish I could have a boob job and native accent, I would have a lot more confidence on cam but my smallish tits on a thick body are not very attractive and as soon I open my mouth to talk I empty my room so I keep my mouth shut and do my job as good as I can.
