On top of that my bf just gave me the "webcam or me" ultimatum. No idea what to do, what a shitty fucking day.
I would've told him....

Like does he really want you to be broke, struggling to pay your bills/not be able to pay your bills, and unhappy. These men need to get over their egos seriously. They'd rather have chicks working a 9-5 or minimum wage job being miserable then camming. Never in my life would I be broke or miserable for a dude.

One thing I know for sure is, you'll always have bills to pay but boyfriends may come and go so it's pretty clear what your choice should be. This isn't just about camming, it's about his ego, the ridiculous need to control and selfish. That's a lot of character flaws that no woman should tolerate. Camming itself is stressful enough, who needs that shit?! I'm not sure how long you've been dating but it's a blessing to know now.

If anyone gives me an ultimatum, they've already made the decision for me - they've gotta go. That's my rule. No exceptions.*
"It's me or _____." "Off you fuck!"
*well ok except for my son, until he's 18 at least. ;)

ugh... that's bad. Well, IMHO whoever is the one who gives ultimatums, don't deserve to be the choosen one. But I hope you can work it out, girl!

Tell him that you choose "me."
As in, yourself. You love yourself just the way you already are and if he can't get with the program then he knows where the door is.
I learned the hard way that if you give in just one fucking time to the whole 'it is either this thing that you love do or me'........then you better get ready to give up EVERYTHING you love because once that threat with you works once then anytime your partner become uncomfortable with any aspect of who you really are as a person --- they will pull the ultimatum shit out like it was their goddamn fucking trump card to always have their way in the relationship.

^ Agree. In my opinion, ultimatums just shouldn't happen in healthy relationships. If your boyfriend feels some strong aversion to your camming, he should be able to talk to you about his feelings and help you both work toward a resolution. If you understand how he feels and why he feels that way, you might be able to reassure him that your webcamming doesn't need to be a threat to the relationship. You can't work with a "my way or the highway" attitude.

I hate hate hate when a guy goes exclusive and starts ordering me around because he thinks he can in exclusive. Nothing dries up my pussy and makes me want to cooperate less than a guy who thinks that barking out orders will get him what he wants.

Oh ffs, I can't cam for the next week or two because we have decorators installing a new bathroom suite. So I figure I'll open a clips4sale store, have some fun filming all kinds of fetish shit, and make some passive income.
So I know where my camcorder's station & charger are, but no camera. Turn the house upside down and find the camera. Now the charger and station have gone walkies from The Place They Always Are. Somehow fashion a charger out of some other electrical stuff in my kitchen drawer. Get excited. Film shit. Realise I can't get anything I've filmed onto my laptop because the USB port is on the camera station, which is still MIA. Grr. Throw stuff. Order takeout. Drink wine.

Omg. This is first night I have got to work since I have moved and my dumb ass roomate decides to have someone pick him up and this bitch is going to knock on the front door loud as fuck. I am in the middle of a show and she doesn't stop. His ass is back in his room not hearing it of course so I have to get dressed to answer the door, so she didn't wake my kids up. He is on thin fucking ice. One more fuck up and he is gone.

[1:07:07 AM] Me: 3 x 10 = 30 :P
[1:07:57 AM] Loser: How much would 5 mins cost :)
[1:08:30 AM] Me: I just quoted that there was a ten minute minimum.
[1:08:49 AM] Me: Did you read it, or do I need to quote it again...?
1. It seriously drives me insane when they ask me to "prove I'm real". I understand that there are scammers out there, but these guys just want to see me on cam for free. They want me to go on th screen so they can cum in the two seconds they see me. In addition, the free preview guys will never buy a show. I used to be very relaxed about previews but never again. all of them have always had their dick in their hand waiting to cum, and they do. In the 1% of cases they really are concerned about being scammed, I made this video to prove I'm real. It's rarely enough, but I try to give the benefit of the doubt and it makes it easier on me to see who is bullshitting and who is not.
2. He can't do basic multiplication. 3 x 10? Seriously? I have a disability and I can do that in my sleep.
3. He thinks he's special and i'll do a five minute show with him. This guy can clearly not read. If he's not going to read a basic sentence before we even do a show, what kind of stuff is he going to expect while we are doing it? These kind of guys are never respectful. They want they want the world for a penny.
I deal with this all the time since I'm an indie model, but I just needed to vent tonight. Drives me crazy. I try to be nice, but ugh.

^ Ughh I hate that shit too. I have the same rate/minimum and I tell them all the time. 10 minutes is $30. 5 minutes is $30. 10 seconds is $30. Whine all you want but (aside from the VERY RARE exception, usually at the end of the night) if you want me to turn my cam on you will be shelling out $30.

I'm sooo annoyed with the camscore thing! Yeye, some say to not think about it but I do. Some guys have actually said "why your camscore so low? that's not good!".
I've been working so hard to get it up. The first account I had was so bad, it was down to 400. I can only blame myself though. I started camming too fast whitout reading much about it. So I deleted it and made a new one.
It's been very up and down, and sometimes I just want to give up. But today I was quite happy when I saw my camscore was at 1520. After 7 min online I had gotten 300 tokens. Then I checked back on my score and saw that it was down do 1424!? Wtf?

I normally do pretty well on Mondays. But ALL the top models were on doing shows, and I tried to change it up by being in costume (lots of compliments, no tips :/).
What I learned from this ordeal: Don't be so sexy that people want you to leave your clothes on, especially when you are a nude model. Yipes.
Perhaps I should stick with an "afternoon" time slot. I'm also going to hit target and get some things to "spruce" up my room.

So. Fucking. Dead. MFC was brutal for me, after an hour I logged off for a "break"...didn't get back on. Fucking painful! My asshole housemate comes back on Thursday, too, which will seriously eat into my camming time because he's always crashing around and banging on my door to keep the music down, take out the trash, whatever. It's all about to get really shitty really fast, and the MFC deadness is not helping me with making the money I need to move! And Payoneer is fucking me around with my account not getting set up properly. GAAAARRRRR!
I actually feel a lot better now :)

Streams killing me, haven't made my fucking goal in two days and Nothing puts me in a worse mood!
Wish i still had my exboyfriend so I could yell at him lol!!
I fucking hate camming right now!
What really sucks is that I've only been online for a couple hours now and I'm already over it but I got some major bills due soon so I have to suck it up!!
Things will get better right??
I've been camming for almost 4 years and always made great $$$ but in the last couple of months things are starting to go down hill. I think I'm just burned out!
I'm starting my own nail polish line hopefully that will be my ticket out :)
Thanks for the vent. Time to put the game face on and make my goal, it may take me all night but I gotta do it :)
Good Times!

For a new camgirl (only been camming for a month) is this at least decent? Please no negative comments on how it's really really shitty, I'm working on it! I need encouragement! I also believe it's the end of the month and that's why last night was DEAD.

Slow as hell on SM this morning...no traffic at all. I was sitting in freechat all by myself for at least 7 mins with no one coming in and out...thinking about going else where for a while
A LOT of my custies complained about lag on SM and I know it's not on my side, so I think there are some tech issues going on.

Camming on the last day of the pay period on MFC feels so pointless sometimes! I hate when I can see that five people from my friends list are online, but only one of them are in my room. The last day of the pay period, everybody's flocking to the cum show public chat rooms.

HSVAKR, that's over $150 in 6 hours, which is over $25/hour. I can understand why you'd want to make more, but that's more than what a lot of people make. I'm not new to camming and I'd be thrilled to make that on a regular basis. I've had way too many days where I would've been better off working at McDonald's and I think I'm a decent camgirl.

I almost posted this in kortneykay's thread about 'why guys buy short shows', but then I decided not to because my post below is about guys not spending:
On a lot of these cam sites there are guys who feel they "shouldn't have to pay for pussy." I've even seen guys flat out say this, and I shake my head. That sort of thinking would explain why so many of them refuse to tip for you to "show pussy, bb." That and the whole entitlement thing. And the ones who are supposedly good-looking with a big dick...they probably laugh at the thought of paying a cam girl. Lol.
There was this premium on MFC who used to be one of my best tippers, and then when he got a new girlfriend he still visited my room occasionally, but stopped tipping me. According to him, he shouldn't have to "pay for pussy" anymore since he has a girlfriend now. Oh? So what you're saying is...you're gonna continue visiting MFC, but now you're gonna become a freeloader just because you have a girlfriend? Interesting.....

Yeah I agree. When I get over 3000 tokens, I'm happy about it really. When I have shitty days, I sometimes logg of with 300 tokens :banghead:
