Zero tokens on MFC
Zero tokens Cam4
I am starting to wonder if I am just a masochist at this point. LOL!
Oh well, time to get my CMD ads back up. I've think I've pretty much had it with free chat.
Edited to add: I forgot to add $12.45 on SM

Made $20 in 3 hours. YAY. Gonna go back on and try again. I don't get how one day I can make $100, then the next no one comes in my room and it's like ghost town. I'm going to look into split camming because any more days like this and I cannot pay the bills :(

I just started to learn how to splitcam and I find the focus required so draining. :/

I just downloaded ManyCam to try and do it... and I can't figure out how to do it? I tried MFC and webcams.com. But it went SO SLOW. My cam was freezing and shaky and all that on webcams.com, even when I didn't split anymore. The plan was check out MFC, if it's dead go to webcams.com (which I did) and it didn't work. FML.
I also finished my Streamate and Imlive application that was sitting there for months because MFC won me over and hopefully I can do that. I don't know why webcams.com is so slow, when it worked for me before. I also looked into Cam Model Directory, but Payoneer didn't work out for me in Germany so I can't use that. F. M. L.
Fucking Germany.

^SM was down completely for about 10 minutes on Saturday. Came back up 3 minutes after pay period cutoff (I was SO pissed), but looking at it now, it looks like they just redid the main site- all the buttons look different, and now customers can expand the customer list and see who's in the room. Maybe that's the reason for all the issues?
Yes unbeliever that's what caused all the problems was them updating the site but who knows. I'm hoping traffic is better tomorrow cause yesterday and the day before was depressingly dead. Fingers crossed :)

I use ManyCam. You need a really powerful computer to run it because it is really resource intensive. What kind of hardware are you using to cam with?
You might have a little better luck with Splitcam (http://splitcamera.com/) since it is also free -- but they have been doing a lot of updates to the software lately which means it might be a lot more resource heavy then the last time I used it.

A male friend I hadn't talked to since high school sent me a FB friend request. So cool I added him. Then I was sent another friend request from another friend from high school, a girl. I added her as well. She then sends me PM's asking me if I talk to her husband, which I really don't. Then she tells me he has a crazy ass wife, which I figured out and was asking me if he talked to his high school girlfriend. WTF? So I deleted them both from contacts. I don't want your man and you are crazy as fuck. Some high school people will never grow up
Camming sucks b/c SM has been fucked up so badly. MFC is a hole, but better than nothing. And I'm due for my shark week soon so that will be this week and that week with fuck all for $. Thank God I have other things going on, but they're slow too. Just fuck.

Guys complaining they cant enter exclusive chat. Also getting mails from members who did take me exclusive to ask me what happened... Kinda sucks, but I am still banking so I wont complain to much ;).. Hopefully the members know it isnt me who is kicking them out of paig chat :D

Had a guy who pretend if he will prvt me but then he left.
After a few minutes he returned and asked "Did you kicked me?"
Then i said no i thought u will prvt me but you left.
Then he didn't talk for a while.
So i decided to pee. As soon as i left the cam he prvt me for few seconds.
Then when i returned he is already gone. So i thought "ah this person is trying to annoy me"
Then i talked to him and tell him to prvt me... and no more reply from him.
So what i did i pretend to be chatting to someone else and laughing blah blah he left... ahh i am so annoyed.

Also I'm tired of the " hey it's been so long since I've seen you" . Yeah and you're still fucking broke so why the fuck do you think I'd be happy to see your lame ass on the site. Go away!! No I don't care that you changed your name!
THIS^^^ It's one of my pet peeves at the mo. They come in saying "hey, where ya been" and "it's been AGES since we spoke" and "thought you'd given up camming" etc etc.... Yet I work on AW's cams 5 days/nights out of 7, I have been RIGHT HERE, it's YOU that's not been online/paying someone else/not giving a shit about me all the other 30 days of the month.... AND you still have no money so no, I will not "show ass" or give you a twirl or be a performing seal for you to get a free wank...

That people do everything for attention! This kid I know came out as gay yet his girlfriend killed herself while pregnant with his baby. Yes I don't know if that is true or not about her being pregnant. Now he has AIDS not HIV straight up AIDS. Last year he had 3 months to live and he cured himself. Then he got AIDS again and had 5 months to live and it magically disappeared. He's moving to Florida, he's moving to CA. Gonna be a nurse, gonna own a salon, right now he owns a business and pimps out his website that doesn't exist (shocker there!). In my city there is a deadly heroin going around killed 23 people already and now all of a sudden he's a drug addict waiting for a bed in rehab. I had a friend I used to talk to about with him but we no longer talk.
Another girl brags about her girlfriends dad sending them on vacation to anywhere they'd like. 4 months ago she's bitching she can't make rent cause some one stole money. 3 months ago she invited that same person to her house and they stole her money again so can't make rent. 2 months ago discusses where she wants to go on her vacation. Last month bitching cause can't buy gifts can't afford food but going on a great vacation! Now complaining how she has to pay all the bills her gf won't get a job and only has half the rent money. Why not just go gf dad instead of paying for a vacation can we just have the money instead because we are struggling making ends meet?

My kids have been out for over two weeks now! Which, I have a toddler at home all the time :/ I typically cam at night but the school aged ones do not want to go to bed and the toddler is up at the ass crack of dawn. Trying to cam has been killing me!!!

Yeah, my computer is a 2009. I'm lucky I can even cam without it freezing :D
I'm just going to hope that Streamate and Imlive accept me, and go on there when MFC is slower than balls. I also signed up on extralunchmoney and waiting to be approved there too. Help me god. :(

More pet peeves while I'm camming: I can't stand the cheap dudes who expect to free chat with you all day or try to be "nice" to get a freebie out of you...
Or the guys that ask me where I'm from, only to say "Yeah, I go to (enters my hometown) all the time for travel! Wanna meet up?" As soon as I get these messages I try my hardest not to roll my eyes on camera. The biggest reason I webcam is to NOT deal with needy ass men like you in PERSON cause we all know how needy men are in person. But I say in my sweet voice "I'm only virtual!!! Sorry!" Like, these guys are so fucking annoying trying to find a model dumb enough to meet up with their broke asses and get freebies. Ugh.

For some reason brand new lingerie was the kiss of death for me probably why I haven't spent any money on anything new. Once I got on cam it was like crickets. Wear something old? "Wow how hot" **private* lol

Yeppers. I used to cam in a ratty Walmart sports bra and I'd get compliments. There's no rhyme or reason to it.

UGH, just because I say I like anal doesn't mean I can shove a big dildo up my ass in 30 seconds. No asshole, you're not getting a free anal show. Anal takes time to be done correctly and enjoyably. I think I'm going to make a new rule that I only do anal if you buy an exclusive block. It's such a fucking pain to try and do it with minute men.

i get compliments on matching underwear. even if its a $5 set from primark it never fails. but when i wear my expensive lingerie no1 seems to care (unless its matching) but to be honest i find the expensive stuff to always be too showy, like u always get see-through parts on them, or bits of nipple poking out the top. its like they designed them 2 be "sexy" and i find if i wear them the guys dont bother tipping to get them off, they just jerk anyways. well actually they would jerk over me in a onesie and a beanie hat cause theyre cunts like that.

Plunge type bras for cleavage, button ups where I can tie them at the waist, and short shorts where the cusp of my ass cheeks hang out is the only way I make money on cam. I pair them up with knee highs cotton socks and the rest is history. I've made more money wearing an old, raggedy (it's literally falling apart and turning brown) bra than any new matching bra sets. I swear anytime I come on with a pretty bra the custy is like..."No bitch...no...bring back the plunge. I just can't with you right now." and there goes my pvt. Let me wear my ghetto plunge bra and those fuckers are hype and in pvt longer. The skin on top is literally falling off and I haven't heard one rude peep from them about it. It's insane and just proves that men are more simple than we think.
KikiGem
01-30-2014, 09:32 AM
WOW that really does confuse me. An old browning falling apart bra vs. new matching sets???!! Men are weird. At least I know now I'll never have to buy anything to wear on cam again! I'll just look in the sock drawer LOL!

Yeah, it's been a bad day. Good traffic, nothing but freeloaders. Just had a guy come in my room trying to chat it up with me, when I direct him to cure his "boredom" by taking me private, I get the line "I don't have the money right now, I'm unemployed and trying to find a job." line. So you just thought you'd get on a Pay to Play site and harass girls for free. Not my kinda fun buddy. I had to log off before I showed my ugly side. I've seriously been sitting almost 2 hours with $0! I'm not in the mood for that shit.

Such a shitty traffic.. but with few guys who are obvious freeloading, I tease them with 3 min $1 or $2 goldshow for titty and free video, at goal of $1 - $3 just to make them want to join. It works, when I am having an absolute shitty traffic. I did several this morning to keep me busy. Sighs.
Oh and no, I do not start goldshows at that low with just one guy. Haha. Just couple or three, one out of them end up wanting to see and know more of me, every time. :D

I HATE THAT! "Sorry I can't, I have bills to pay/didn't make as much as I thought this week/have holiday shopping to do/have to pay rent/etc." like seriously? And I don't? Okay, sure, I'll work for free so you can save money! Sounds good! Idiots. Like I'm not a human with their own needs and bills to pay!

That's just it though...they don't value our time! They feel that if they aren't asking for anything XXX that we should be cool with hanging out and chatting with them for free. That's not the way I work...my time = $$. I think some of them have been spoiled from girls that don't mind chatting with them free...unless they are regulars of mine they get simple answers and no chit chat until they pay up.

Last night some asshole gave me a 1-star rating for doing exactly what he told me to do!!! UGH! Silly me for actually thinking that SOME guys on the sites are kind. Also, guys who come in my room and ask me if my show is any good... what kind of response are you expecting? OF COURSE I am going to say that my show kicks ass. If you want some kind of unbiased opinion of my show, I'm NOT the girl to ask. Go look at my ratings and tags. Imbeciles run rampant online sometimes. THANKS for this thread! Nice to get it all out.

Had to buy a g-string by request today and now I remember why I don't own any g-strings... the stupid string part is always too long so I can never get that sexy v-curve-thing going on in the back. Either I wear it with the front pulled up too high so I have a string riding up my vagina or I have to pull the back up so there's no tension and it just looks like a T and makes my ass look flat. If I really cared I guess I'd cut it up and sew it back together so the string would be the length of a normal crack but I don't have the right color of thread right now and I'm certainly not going to do all that today. It's just annoying, blech.

^^^ I feel u, i always modify my things as they fit my needs, i have to get creative. Dont worry about the thread color, on cam such details are not very visible even in HD. U may want to buy thongs in a smaller size next time? Just modify the ones u got, it's not a lot of work if u skilled. Most of my lingerie & clothes (even nylons) i wear on cam are modified/ adapted for cam work, they never know ;)

Him (after showing his pic...yes, he's attractive): "If you saw me on the street, would you think I look good enough to take you out?"
Me: "Yeah, probably...as long as you approached me the right way and didn't give off any scumbag-ish vibes. But you didn't meet me on the street...you met me on a cam site...so it's not gonna happen....."
*rolls eyes* I know telling these guys the TRUTH is "unsexy," but IDGAF. If you wanna hook up with a girl that badly, go out to your local spots and meet people that way, or join a dating site. Stop wasting my time when I'm trying to work. And you could look like Boris Kodjoe for all I care...I'm not meeting you in person just because you think hooking up with a cam girl would be cool. I keep cam life and real life separate. Now go buy some tokens and stop telling yourself that taking me out is a possibility...lmao.

This is my pet peeve. I'm really going to ignore everyone here and type to him in free chat when I know damn well he can hear. Sometimes I say out loud "Why don't you have sound? How old is your computer anyway?" Amazing how often they answer me.

The difference between a dating site & a cam site is, on a dating site they see profiles, pictures, read text, they have to contact girls & wait for an answer, etc, on a cam site everything happens in real time, we are there on cam looking sexy, we are 'available' therefore they take advantage of technology & our time. They either believe we are on cam to hook up with guys (they have no clue we are working) or if they still know we are working they decide to give a try anyway, who knows, maybe maybe 'something' happens.
As a general matter men dont want to hear the truth, it's hurting their ego hahaa, by now i avoid being too harsh with them unless they really piss me off, men can be manipulated, they 'need' to believe in their fantasies so we can pull money off their pockets.
I sometimes tell a guy (privately) that is annoying me "in fact i only want ur money, i dont care about u at all, come in when ready".
That guy will never be in my room again & if he starts bitching i kick him, if he returns i block.
