Can we not browse past 500 pages or am I missing something?

Scratch that- I realized I only had 'available for chat' tagged instead of all. Ugh.

OK so I saw you guys talking about this and signed up. And read this WHOLE thread first, LOL! And they denied my GIF.... I wore an over the shoulders Mom dress and only showing me from the neck up, WTF? I think they have trans girl bias..... I could go on, but I have read their TOS and I am not violating any of it with that GIF. There is only one reason they would do that.

What ideas do you guys have in the works? Support has been claiming that they are working on ways to even out the playing field since I joined back in June, but it doesn't seem as if much progress has been made in that department. I don't buy the supposed ranking system being based on responsiveness either. How come the same 1-3 girls have been on the first page for over a year now and everyone else eventually gets knocked back 30+ pages?

Yes, I have noticed that and wondered about that, too about the same few girls always being on the first page. I don't understand their ranking system because at a time I was bringing in the most $ I'd ever made, I was on the 20th page. On a time when things were slow I was on the 2nd page. It doesn't make sense.

Trans reason LOL! Same as alot of people in this biz... A lot of cam sites not allowing trans models, also even one of the camgirl forums didn't until recently.

I still don't get it, there are guys out there with MONEY that dig it. I do pretty damn OK on Streamate.... I noticed the Phrendly TOS says if they don't think your picture is you then no... Haha, I have to use my birth name for payouts, etc.

I really hope that's not what it is, and I have seen quite a few transwomen on Phrendly. One woman, I am unclear on the name after a quick search for her, was on the first page for quite some time and had in her profile that she is trans. There are a few others MTF profile I've seen but I don't recall the names for reference.

There is this though. If you're logged in, you're gonna have to go incognito to see it. https://www.phrendly.com/browse?text=trans&min_mdp_phone_price=8&max_mdp_phone_price=40&min_mdp_video_price=8&max_mdp_video_price=40&page=1, lest it take you to the 3 FTM results in the men's section. There are 2 pages of MTF on the flip side. ;)

I still haven't made money on this site in months & now it keeps showing me that red dot that says I have messages, I open the chat icon in a new tab & NOTHING. This has happened twice in the last several days.

Anyone else experience this?

I also refresh page 1 every so often (it always says page 3 for some reason) & there's never any NEW guys on there that I've not already stared, so that makes no logical sense to me.

Saw one asshole star me & his tagline reads, "you contact me first."

Anyone falling for that FL crap? LOL

Web for me. It's been loading very slowly for me also. I'll go to switch between chats and it freezes and like "scrambles" the chats around a little.
App works perfectly but I have a huge phone and small hands that prefer a real keyboard lol so I'm mostly on the website.

Someone starred me back and when I hit "Okay, Got It," I got a little thing saying that my profile was private and to edit my discoverability if I wanted to be seen. Um. My profile is public? I was wondering why I woke up to no new playthings. -_-

That's the thing! I remember on my highest earning day, I somehow bumped myself into private and I was so mad because I could have crossed a certain threshold maybe if I didn't fat finger myself into private lol. So, it's not out of the question for me to have done this yet again, however, my profile was listed as public in my settings so idk? :/

Click the icon of the person and then look at "discoverability". Either it will be switched on public or private. You want it to be on public, which means any guy on the app can find you. Maybe the OP accidentally switched it to private or maybe it just happened. I check my settings every so often and make sure everything is correct. I've never been randomly switched to private, but I have noticed that my age ranges when starring phrends will randomly change.

Oh, I should have mentioned that I had no new stars, as well. It's not a constant red dot with no new activity as it has been in the past but sometimes it just sticks around too long after a new message, I think, even after refreshing.

Is there a way to verify someone's age? I have a 24 year old who looks exactly half that age in his gif. He wants to send me gifts and I mean that is tempting but it's not worth it to me. I asked for ID (which, I myself would not want to be showing someone my personal ID even with info covered cuz it's a weird request), and he hasn't responded. Dunno if it's because he just doesn't wanna show me which I'd understand or if I am right in assuming he's not actually 24.

or maybe I just screwed myself out of some chocolates and a bouquet

Phrendly is more of a choose-your-own-adventure kinda game. ;) There's no one right or wrong way to go about it. Sounds cliche but be yourself and find out what works for you. Be nice, engaging, respond quickly, and have fun :D

I’ve really only promoted using twitter and FetLife. I haven’t seen much of an increase when I do that. Craigslist is too time consuming. I tried once. They won’t let me post a link so I have to message every single guy my link. Not worth it IMO.

WendiStarr
03-21-2018, 09:04 AM
^ I've tried Craigslist route too for promotion purposes. I used to post in the services and talent gigs section since w4m personals get flagged quick in my area. Craigslist recently went through some changes where now people have to pay $5 to post in services or gigs. It's not worth it imo/ime because since you can't post links, you have to send them your Phrendly link when they respond. Most of the time you won't hear back from them after that or you'll get an angry guy who will spam you endlessly via the anonymous craigslist email, calling you fake, whore, slut, etc. In some cases the guys are still able to harass you through the craigslist email, even after your ad gets flagged or deleted. It's super annoying and so not worth the bullshit.

I'm curious as to how much some of you are charging for video chat? I keep getting these guys saying they can't afford me after we do one long video session a couple days later. I thought about keeping it in the same numbers as say a skype or indy cam session would cost but I've done so much better with them at their highest they go but since most of these guys aren't reg cam custys, I'm open to new numbers possibly. Thoughts?

So I just got my profile approved yesterday and started using the app last night while I was watching Netflix. I downloaded it because I'm a broke college senior and wanted to take guitar lessons, but couldn't afford another $40 per week bill. So far one guy has spent over $50 (and counting) just chatting with me about inane things and pretending he's hanging out with me (I send him pictures of my coffee and food and he acts like we're eating together, ha ha.) Oh and occasionally exchanging kissy-face emojis. I hope this is the start of a beautiful fake relationship.

I scheduled my first guitar lesson. :3

So is anyone else completely bewildered over the new seemingly erratic and randomized scramble of users page placements? Being a steady user, with a steady placement, replying fast, still making a few grand per month in spite of the sudden front page banishment earlier this year - and now suddenly booted like 80 pages back? I see others who I know are very high earners (because I know them) also being booted back in this way.

If THIS is phrendly's solution to how page 1/2 was swallowing most of the traffic - it's FUCKING SHIT. What happened to creating a premium system or whatever that would allow us to consciously promote ourselves? Or a system based on Actual user activity as opposed to just telling us that's what it was but it Clearly being a lie as many top earners testify to being booted at the height of their most successful month.

I don't know if I'm a top earner but I used to make a good amount per month. I have always replied fast. I was pushed back to page 20. I was slowly climbing back up and I got to page 2 and then I was pushed back even further the next day. It's frustrating. I don't know what I'm doing that I keep getting pushed back.

I find it strange that girls keep saying their photos don't pass due to cleavage yet there are so many people with it. One older woman doesn't even have a top on in her profile photo. Then there is a dominatrix named Sadie ? I forget the rest. She has black dildo toys that are way over a foot long in her extra photos. That isn't even allowed on Chaturbate because of the decency laws in the USA.
Maybe put her on Page one!! LOL

I consider myself lucky to have gotten away with a good amount of cleavage. Granted my tits are massive and there's no hiding them. I've theorized that approval has to do with the overall "vibe" of the pic. If you look like you're making too much of an effort to be sexy and/or if it comes across as being sleazy, it will be rejected. I look fairly innocent in my pic, 32DDs aside. Like ranking, pics are another area where staff claims don't match up with the objective facts. Seems like whether or not your pic gets approved ultimately depends on the mood of whichever staff member has the veto.
