I made a bomb ass GIF today. Hair done, make up looking good as fuck. And it got denied. Waaaaah, lol. Guess I will try again tomorrow, sucks though.
Did you ask them why?

That is true! I have a work from home vanilla job and cam very little. I'm usually sitting at home in sweats with no makeup on, hair in a ponytail. Some guy wanted to video chat with me and I turned it down because I was looking like shit. I just told him, sorry, I'm working my work from home job right now but I would love to video chat with you later if you like. I'm too lazy to have my hair and makeup done 24/7. lol
I assume it's mostly people who are very young, like 18-24, who live with their parents or are one of the first 2 pages. Or cam a lot & sell photos or videos and are very good talkers or could be good used car salesmen too!! Videos probably pay more - I can't see making a living on here with just texting, you'd have to be texting 24 -7. I was on a 4 hour text one night and made only $50. I was surprised it was so little. Only so many sips in an hour when it's one sided. Any extra money you make just texting while you are sitting at home without your makeup on yet is great anyway. I like the site for that reason. Makeup, webcams, lights, equipment, hair, nails and lingerie cost money so camming you earn more, but you also spend more.

I have mine as high as they go. The default rate is too low to be worth it IMO.

Maaaan it is poppin' today.
It was for me also.
I think I finally figured out how to get guys to engage in a conversation.
I accidentally hit the 'suggest' button, and the guy responded immediately with his reply.
Since then, I've been just hitting the suggest button, and multiple guys who had blown me off are now responding.
It also helps to never say anything about myself.
They never ask about me anyway.I'm fine with that, since I'm getting paid.

What do you mean by suggest button? I don't think I've ever seen this
Edit: I just found it. Doesn't this mean YOU are paying for the conversation since you're initiating it? I couldn't find the option on guys that I have already been talking to who have the set direction of payment. Only guys I haven't spoken to which I feel would mean that I would be the paying one if I'm the one to send the first message.

It says: Remember, whoever initiates pays so if you’re out to make some money, wait for someone to reach out to you first. You make $0.35/volley during chats.
I haven't seen a suggest button though.

The suggest button appears when you click on a guy's profile. If you hit it, it gives you a message to send them to initiate contact. Which seems to me like you're the one starting the chain of messages. I wouldn't do this unless it's for sure that this somehow bypasses you paying for the chat and is more like a nudge to get someone to talk to you. I figure that's what the star is for, though.

Don't you think some of the guys are just doing it to themselves and that's why they say one thing to you and stop talking. 50 cents is cheap to know you are interacting with the girl in the pictures. Just like in cam rooms, the ones who don't talk are usually busy! :-) lol

The suggest button is not for you to nudge him 1st. If u hit it, you will start the chain. It's for if u are texting him back and forth and run out of things to talk about. It gives u a suggestion of how to keep the convo going. LOL.Which for most of us, is dumb but whatever. I stumbled upon this info when reading the Support forum on phrendly.
It would be great if we could just send a little message like under ten words. Even a mass mailing or something cuz a lot of girls star everyone so guys are getting lots of stars. Or if they had a blog on their sites like ...what is it, my girl fund has. So that we could Showcase our sparkling personalities. Although on the blog I'm thinking of it was a lot of stories about getting in compromising situations while on meth. My point is though, something to do to make yourself stand out . Even the ability to make a proper profile like on the token sites where you can show off your creativity (if you know HTML haha)

You're talking about like the blogging feature on MGF. I second that. It would be like a little self promotion contained on the site. And would show what our personalities are like. We do need something to help girls stand out. The starring feature is too impersonal.

I think I sent a email to support and added that in but maybe if they still read this thread they will think about it.
I actually wish we could pay for the texts sometimes. Cuz we have that promo money and we could use it to drum up business. Otherwise unless we give it to Devon...LOL, it sites there
Speaking of which, he texted me on phrendly and said he got a bunch of texts from you guys so I just want to say how great you all are. You guys are amazing. It's so supportive here and I swear, I don't know what I would've done without SW.
Camming is not as easy as it looks, and the mental side of it is a killer. I've tried to make friends with fellow cammers on cb that have come into my room etc. but inevitably if we are even close to competing , like in the older milf category , they end up being dicks. I feel like there is enough money out there and even if there wasn't I'd help someone over taking something for myself. At the end of my life I would rather know that I've made the world at least a little better than gotten rich. Besides you don't have to step on people be able to support yourself and your family. Anyway my point is, you guys give out info that you can't get anywhere else and help new cammers succeed even if that means more competition . That is amazing. When I was a nurse the girls there were always trying to get ahead by getting other people in trouble or fired . I know cam girls that spend all day reporting girls for various things, going in their rooms and PMing guys to come to their rooms or even posting in their rooms, come to my room boys. To me that's not hustling , that's desperate.
Anyway I've gotten off topic. I'm amazed every day that while "porn" is supposed to be bad and harmful to women and the women in strip clubs or on cam on videos are supposed to be "damaged" and cutthroat...nothing could be further from the truth. It seems we are normal women with partners and kids and friends and hobbies an BRAINS who have become entrepreneurs taking advantage of a business that is almost recession proof. And on top of that I have found less cattiness and bullying and intelligence than in a traditional career for women. Plus forums for nurses are super boring and this forum is never THAT!
The backstabbing and shit that goes on at cam sites is easy to block and ignore and besides traditional strippers that work in a club, this has become our workplace, our office essentially and with the help of moderators like phatgirldynomite, it is a really healthy, safe and productive place (except for when I stay on SW for hours instead of camming -then it becomes my addiction haha) so thanks everyone.

If you already had a convo going with them then no. But if it's your first time talking to them, yes. If you ever initiate contact, you are the one paying.

So, I decided to use the Suggest feature to message a guy who messaged and called me several times in the past. It worked, he messaged me back. But now we're having the most awkward conversation in the history of mankind and those little 35 cents messages so don't feel worth it right now. Ugh.

Exactly what I've found to work.
* Android app doesn't have the ' suggest' button though. Neither does when their messages are sent to your phone directly, obviously.
Suggest button worked for me again yesterday.
Spent most of the day just hitting it over and over with tons of guys.
I even had one guy send me chocolates to pay for a bill I had due.
I'm REALLY loving whoever designed these questions, because I used a few while replying to guys who have ghosted me on other dating sites I'm on. They ALL messaged me back immediately.
It just goes to show how different men's brains are from women.
One of the questions was "Can you change a tire?" Got a reply Everytime I used it. ( I would NEVER think to ask a stranger this)

Chances are good he was just trying to guilt you, regulars all have an expiration date. They just have different methods of leaving. Some fade away, some pout, some coerce, some go out in flaming shit storm. He's just a guilter, do not feel bad for him. You personally never promised anything. His unrealistic expectations are his own problem.
Oh, I don't feel bad for him at all. I feel bad for my account, lol. My profile is hidden and only he was hitting me up daily.

So I've been starring them and drummed up a few but yesterday I didn't even get likes.

How do you get a guy to do that on here? Also did you read the new rules that come up from Phrendly in a hyperlink at the top of the page. It says that people can't give out emails and things or they lose their accounts.
And it says we are not allowed under any circumstances to ask for a gift. So are we supposed to send photos out for free? Do you ask for a gift for sexting?

Oh, well.
LOL LOL, don't let these guys fool you!!!! He said the exact thing to me the first few lines. I spent half of July with this guy.When I ended things because he said he was going to leave the site that night if I didn't feel anything more for him, he ended our "Phrendship" with this: How many guys have been between those big tits of yours. And:I should have known you were a porn star with a name like yours. (didn't even get the name right) This is after getting to know me and saying I was one of the only women on this site with no agenda. (because I wasn't trying to get more money out of him ) He is manipulating, abusive and he knows what's going on on the site. When he first messaged me he said he was tired of a bunch of women who only wanted to talk dirty.
He's one of those angry men who hate women and blame them for his problems. But can't live without them. I would get texted at least 2 to 3 times a day: "you there" Even 3 AM. He also said a girl ripped him off for $2000 on another site. He's far from stupid. I was very nice to him. I even phoned him twice at my expense ( to use up a credit i had) to give him a break on his money (he was texting me 3 times a day but spent very little. He spent the phone call money right back on me.If I was at the grocery store and hair salon one day and he got abusive to me because I couldn't talk right away. He apologized the next day. He is so draining.
Oh I guess you are getting rid of me were his words the day I did cut him loose. I told him what I thought of him in a nice way. I'm too caring of a person and told him he was a great guy but needed a tuneup and counselling might help him with his anger issues. He wrote back: What do you think, I'm a jerk. I thought we were getting along just fine. Yes after he was abusive the third day he texted. (He wanted to take things to another level off the site - no mention of my breasts then! lol)
It taught me you can only be so nice, in the end they will move on or be abusive and you get burned out from people like this. I don't think $5-8 a day when you average the total out, is worth someone abusive and this negative. I was wondering who he'd end up with. LONELYDAD is another one I really wonder who got him. He's a nice person but I had to stop talking to him as he got grosser and grosser. After numerous photos that would make you gag every AM when you get up, it progressed to a live video and his email address , I couldn't look at it anymore!! He wrote paragraphs knowing I'd have to read it for 35 cents. It's best to move on and cut the guy loose when it starts to get to you. It's not worth the amount they are paying on here. Stay positive so you can talk to the next one!

LOL sorry about that! But for me they need to make this clearer. Who knows if their grammar rules are the same as ours reading other things they've written. I read this as : asking for gifts is not permitted AND continuing a conversation under false pretenses is not permitted. (for example saying you are going to meet them) Could Phrendly please comment on this sentence. I'm sure you're right I just want to be 100% sure because I have hinted for a gift for a video or certain photo. :-)) And I saw someone put on their profile page send photos for gifts to travelers or something like that and it's gone now. So that suggests we can't ask for gifts to me.

Hey guys so I've been on Phrendly for about 3 weeks and I've consistently been on the 5th page in the browse section. Well overnight, I dropped back to the 26th page. I respond to all messages quickly and am very active on the app. Well now I'm getting no traffic 😔 does anyone know why they might move you back so far? Did I maybe do something wrong and if so, can I fix it?
