^ I agree! I always, always change my age to younger than I really am. People buy it since I look younger. Can't do that on Phrendly unless you're one of the select few.
How do you change your age? I don't see an option to do it. Do you just have to message support and ask?

They allow some people to change their age and deny other people, for no rhyme or reason. Them playing favorites and not keeping the rules consistent for everybody is one of the main reasons I dislike Phrendly.
I literally noticed that yesterday. Someone who was 28 a few years ago is now 22. I want to be 21! Lol

^ They must be able to because whenever I try to text him back, I get the carrier pigeons message. Then he sends another message a couple days to a week later and when I send a response, I again get the carrier pigeons message. I need to just block this fucktard because it's worthless to text on that site unless I'm getting paid.

Why don't you e-mail support & ask them. I'm curious now too.


This is just me personally n my opinion

But I would not star every guy

Only because you’d never do that in reality. Some of those guys profiles are cringy.

Star enough just to get a few dudes regularly checking out your profile.

How is a guy going to know who I've starred & who I haven't?



Also don't forget the fact that you've got competition with the new girls sending nudes for a rose or nothing at all. I get lucky here & there but not like before when the app sadly. They should seriously delete the whole "relationship" crap from the label & just see what happens.

They can't/won't & the reason is b/c they can't advertise in most places if they go the adult route, but they aren't getting quality guys anyway. I noticed this all last year. To me they look cheap & low level. When I mentioned that here, someone got pissed off at me.

They just don't look like the guys I'm used to on camming.


I still make about $500-$1k here a month, mostly thanks to my regulars. It hasn't been available to download in the app store for a long time now, so no doubt that will hurt numbers. I wish I knew what was going on behind the scenes, as far as whether they have plans of bringing it back to the app store, revamping it, starting a new advertising campaign, etc. We used to get e-mails about this type of stuff all the time.

How can they not be in the app store & new guys are signing up? Unless you can sign up just by regular PC.


I need to message them & see if its cool to change my age. I swear I thought they've told me before that I couldnt?? I'd love to play around & see if I'd get a boost in business though saying I'm 23 or 25 LOL :P

I'd love to change my age. I'm older & I know that's one of the reasons I don't get the guys. I complained to them about the slider thingy where the guys don't even know they have been preset to ONLY see people in their age range.

What I don't understand is WHY all these guys star me back (some even initiate the star) & then they don't message me.

They still have the app in the Android store but not in the iPhone app store.

I would message support and ask them but I'm almost certain they'll tell me that you can't change your age. Even though their select favorites clearly have.

Phrendly has been deader than dead. I’ve been around since 2018 and it’s only getting worse. I’m not even sure promoting works anymore.

Is everyone having this issue?

Phrendly has been deader than dead. I’ve been around since 2018 and it’s only getting worse. I’m not even sure promoting works anymore.

Is everyone having this issue?

Yes. Phrendly has never been amazing for me, however my earnings have been steadily trending downward.

2017 - $1800
2018 - $700
2019 - $190
2020 (so far) - $1.40

At the current rate, I'm not sure I'll even make payout once in 2020. I have no idea where I rank, but it's likely quite low. Also, I'm on the older side, which can be detrimental on Phrendly. I still get stars, both me starring first and the guy starring first, but it never leads to any messages. The one conversation I had in 2020 was a guy who thought Phrendly was a regular dating app, so that problem still persists.

I keep the app on my phone because it's easy, but 2020 might be the last year I use it.

If I were you, I'd still sign up. The process is easy, doesn't cost anything. Apart from getting dolled up to take the three photos required, it's not a lot of effort. If you are young and conventionally attractive, you might end up on the front page for a while and it could lead to a decent amount of money. I think Phrendly dies out for everyone after a while, but you could potentially earn a few thousand before that happens.

Hmm, I'll skip this one then. Thanks!!

EDIT: I put half face and mainly body parts in my GIF , I guess we'll see if they approve me. I don't want to be out there on the internet. Although, is this more a dating site with a paid option? Or is this a sex worker site? How is it viewed by the public? Thanks.

Edit part 2: SO they didn't approve that GIF because it's "too suggestive" and my full face isn't in ANY of the gifs. UGH. Hate this especially because my name on there is the same name on NF/TTM/CF where I do NOT show my face. Advice?

This happened to me all week. The first one was too suggestive so I redid it and it was denied fornmy “whole face not being in it” when it clearly is. I feel like they don’t look anymore and if there’s more skin tone than shirt they deny it. But some girls can have whatever they want.

The site is pitched the public rather deceptively. They don't want to be perceived by their credit card processor as operating an adult site and they want to be able to have their app available for download, so they keep profile pics extremely clean and they try to position themselves as an "online only" relationship site. As you can see from the title of this thread, they positioned themselves to us, sex workers, as a place to offer "girlfriend experience" services.

I don't show my face on other sites. For Phrendly, I wore a wig and applied heavy makeup. I took off all the things and around my face that I typically wear (like glasses, earrings, whatever). I took the photos for the gif with very bright lighting (which, depending on angle, can flatten or enhance angles on your face) and tilted my head at an unusual angle. The result is that I look nothing like myself. Even my boyfriend at the time didn't recognize me when I showed him my profile.

Dealing with the guys who don't understand the purpose of the site can be annoying. There are the ones who completely think it is Tinder and complain about how lame it is that none of the girls they chat with live nearby. There are the ones noticed the "online only" part of the site's tagline, but still think that the women are there purely for fun and are also paying to send messages. They will constantly try to get you to talk off Phrendly. And then there are some that understand that it's essentially a cam/phone sex/sexting service.

Over the years, I've made a few thousand dollars on Phrendly. Others made much, much more. If you get placed on the first page, you might be able to earn a ton of money for a short period. Once you rank lower, money will be very sporadic. However, there's some potential here and once your profile is set up, there is little additional effort required.

Decided to try this site again due to being sick of sitting on live cam this week.

Anyone have a tip on responding to a guy who texts for awhile and then types out his damn phone number like xxx in one text and xxxx in the next? I wish they would block them typing numbers like that I hate it.

I have not responded back. If it were a sexting site I'd just do a hard sell and lay on the sexiness but this guy is a GFE type.

Is he even worth trying to salvage? If so anyone have a suggestion to deal with this?

That's exactly how the site is marketed. Honestly I hate that. They are trying to keep it looking like a dating site to keep Google Play from deleting the app from the Play Store.

The reviews are mostly really bad, guys feeling deceived and cheated.

I quit the site before because it annoys me that they do that. Started back this week and not sure I can tolerate it, just trying to find ways to make $ so I don't have to sit all made up on live cam.

Yea, I had dudes send me their whatsapp, their phone number, their snap chat, and their personal fbs with their families attached. They REALLY think it's a dating site. One guy the one I blocked thought I had to pay "refill drinks" to talk to him too and wondered why I hadn't at all the entire video chat lmao.

Tricky to keep them going ,yes def. You gotta have patience & know what you are doing, otherwise you won't make shit here.

I don't ever lie to or mislead the guys on here. I know it costs me money, but I feel like it's the right thing to do. I'm friendly, I'm flirty and I try to make interactions fun, but I don't beat around the bush with telling them that Phrendly isn't a dating site. Guys who don't understand the purpose of the site and who end up spending a ton of money will inevitably feel scammed, either by a specific woman or the site as a whole. When I do find guys who understand what's going on, I give them the best service I can.

I changed my hustle on this site. I know it's intended to be more GFE but I'm just no good at it plus it makes me uncomfortable. I made a little menu to send when they ask for pics or vids

"Rose Gift = 2 clothed photos
Balloon Gift = 4 photos with nudity
Chocolates Gift = 2 videos with nudity
Vase of Roses Gift = Custom HD video 5 minute length
Champagne Gift = Custom HD video 10 minute length"

and it's working! I'm finally pulling in some money on this site. I send the pics through the web interface and for the vids I use wetransfer and send a link and its working well so far

arielbriel

I made around 15k from this site in its heyday. It was definitely effort but when it was popular there was a lot more to be made. I stopped going on around a year and a half ago because traffic slowed down when they introduced the bidding for spot feature. Have there been any changes made to the site since then?
For photo options I used to do something like:
Rose - regular selfie, non nude
Balloons - topless photo
Chocolates - full nude photo
Vase - kitty photo
Champagne - custom but usually involved toys in kitty photo

Most guys were down for this at the time. A few of my regular were actually cool to talk to and dropped a lot of $ over the two years I was active, and I didnt mind chatting to them every day.

Where are they getting their traffic from? Cam sites? I got a troll straight from the dungeon today that just kept demanding that I show him my pussy for free, saying he'd show me his dick for free if I showed him my pussy first. I was going to find a random picture of a cat online to send but I figured that was just too much time and effort to be wasting on a troll so I sent him a cat emoji instead. When he asked where my pussy picture was, I just sent a different cat emoji. I sent different cat emojis until he went away.

"You will only earn by responding to your phrend's LAST message, not for each individual message. "

"The initiator shares a sip for the first response received within 12 hours of their last message sent."

I think it's always been that way. It only affects you if you don't respond before they send another so if I'm working the site I hurry and send something quick before they can send another one.

If they send messages when I'm not working I don't worry about those.

It's always been that you get paid for the volley, not by how many messages he sends or by how many you send. A volley is a back and forth. If he sends two messages and a row, and then you reply, that's only one back and forth. Same if he sends one message and then you send two in reply. Still only one back and forth, one volley.

I can't remember if it's always been 12 hours or if it used to be 24. That could be a change. This site is basically dead for me, so I don't use it much, but I do have the app installed, so I usually respond to any messages I receive fairly quickly.

On Niteflirt the turnaround to get paid to respond is 24 hours. I just clicked around on PH to make sure about the timing but couldn't find it anywhere. The site is just not very easy to use or transparent. I mean, yes I use it as an extra site and get good clients sometimes.

On NiteFlirt, you have twice as much time (24 hours) than the 12 hours you have on Phrendly to respond to a message. If you respond within that window, you get paid. If you respond outside of the window, you don't.

I've made $73, which is an amazing month on Phrendly for me. I usually make $0-$5. Obviously, it's not exactly a lucrative site for me.

I wouldn't ever dream of bidding. Right now, they want me to bid between $54 and $38 to be on the front page, which is absolutely insane. I bid on NiteFlirt because getting eyes on my profile can lead to passive income from PTV or goody purchases. Also, if a guy clicks on a PTV or favorites me, I can market to him. But, on Phrendly you get none of that and the bids are sky high anyway.

I bid for a few days when bidding was first introduced. I never bit very high (bids between $0.30 and $1.00) with a budget of $10-$15. Every time, my budget was spent within an hour or two and never resulted in any worthwhile business as far as I could tell.
