Other Models in Chat Room?
Hey, I was curious about cam girl's and their views on other models in their chat rooms. I know MFC allows you to block other models, and I didn't do so at first. The other day I logged on for the first time (I'm just trying MFC for the first time, have done small bits of camming in the past, but trying to actually do more with it now) and I had a decent flow going in the chat room. I had several premium members in there, and so my instinct was to just chat with them for a while and get to know them instead of demanding tips immediately (as long as they weren't demanding me do certain things of course). Anyways, I'm used to the method of building friendships with fans because it generally ends up working out really well (I model and my model fans have donated over $600 to help me and a model get to Fetcon this year). Anyways, during this another model came into the room and started demanding the guys tip me, which was sweet of her to be concerned, and I thought it was funny at first. Anyways, she started actually insulting and arguing with all the guys in the chat room to the point that it just completely disrupted the entire chat and I ended up giving up and logging off for the night. I was wondering if this was a normal experience with allowing other models in chat rooms and also if being that aggressive towards fans really ever helps (in this case it seemed to piss them off). I was just wondering what the benefits and non-benefits of inviting other models into your room is, because after that I just blocked all other models because it just made me uncomfortable 0.o Sorry for the rambling and if I went off subject there a bit lol 0.o}:D
Re: Other Models in Chat Room?
I love other models in my cam room, but I've had to tell them to calm down and stop insulting my regs lol. I think if a girl wants to support you, she should be able to hear "hey, that was so sweet of you to try to get them to tip, but I think we got a bit aggressive and ended up scaring them off!" Because bottom line is...your room, your rules.
Re: Other Models in Chat Room?
always be respectful and understand that it's their room and you are a guest. If you talk with them a bit, give them a little tip. I've had to ban models, and I have went off on a few who came in my room asking camming related questions.
Re: Other Models in Chat Room?
Honestly I feel like if a model is in your room she should be under a premium or basic account. Showing off that she is a model unless a well known friend already is just stealing thunder from your storm. I've been both in a girls room and have girls in my room and most have member accounts.
Re: Other Models in Chat Room?
I occasionally get models in my room who talk to me. (I know a lot of you just watch and say nothing though :P). If they are hating I can deal with that and if they are cool I can deal with that to. I find that both are a distraction though so I dont give them too much attention cause I'm trying to hustle!
Once a couple years back a model came in my room and told me that another model was in her room talking shit about me and some other girls. I was actually more disgusted that she had taken the time to "tattle tale" and insulted that she thought I cared about such things. But the guys in my room saw what she was typing to me so then they started asking questions. This was on SM so I opened a new window and went in the room of the model who was apparently talking shit about me to see what she what she was saying. I was still broadcasting out so now the members in my room could hear her talking just as I could. At that moment she (or the guy who "hosts" her room and does all the talking) wasn't talking shit about anyone. In a crazy moment of inspiration I told my guys to go to her room and tell her I was watching her. They did and so she opened a new window and entered my room. Suddenly we were talking to one another through the cams. It was this crazy crazy thing! We were both running gold shows and we started encouraging the guys in our opposite rooms to join the other girls show and it WORKED! We both banked went into our shows and never really spoke to one another again.
Just thought I would share that cause it was actually crazy fun and all because that first model took it upon herself to police the rooms of other girls.
Re: Other Models in Chat Room?
I've been known to hang out in model rooms, mostly just because I was a newb and felt so overwhelmed by how to go about camming. I know a lot of well respected people say ignore what others are doing and focus on yourself. For me that was like telling me to read a book before knowing the alphabet. I'm a very visual learner, and it helped a lot just to see different hustle styles. I don't mind models coming in my room or even talking to me, as long as they are polite and respect my hustle. So far it hasn't been a problem. One model in particular was very accommodating to me when I first started, but looking back I probably did take a smidge too much of her attention, and I did the annoying newb thing of talking industry with her in her room. I would never do that now, especially having found SW and the awesome resource it is. There are models I am in simple awe of, and I might hang out for a few minutes here and there just to admire. I feel like it's overstepping to bother or distract you, and if I do i'm going to leave a tip. There are a few models I'm in such awe of I'd even pay to see shows with, because you're so genuinely sexy and I'm a perv like that. :P The thing is tho for the women I like the most, I'm probably just going to follow you on twitter and admire you that way, instead of distracting from your job. I remember waiting tables and my friends would come in and order coffee just to hang out with me. Sure they'd leave me good tips but it was always distracting from my actual job, and it felt weird taking money from my friends.
*steps off soapbox*

It really sucks when people do this. She was so disruptive that it caused you to log off early? Oh, hell no. This chick is fucking with your money, despite her so-called good intentions. Continued behavior like this will wind up turning away members who would've tipped you if it hadn't been for the drama of the bossy chick rudely telling them to. And they may be turned off from your room due to that little stunt she pulled.
If you're ever in that situation and don't feel comfortable saying something to her in public chat, you could send her a private message. Though I, personally, would prefer to just say something to her right there in the public chat. That way, the other guys in the room will see that I'm actually dealing with the situation (and not allowing it to continue), and they will see that even I think this is not okay.
On another note...I've been in rooms where the model has regulars who basically scare off anyone in the room who talks to her. Poor dude could say something like "Hey, beautiful. Your tattoos are awesome!" And her "white knight" regulars would chime in with "You should tip her, Tony." Wtf? Lol. Models really need to stop allowing their regulars to treat people like that. They're like overprotective wannabe boyfriends or something. I could see if there's a troll in the room...then yeah, feel free to have at 'em.

^^All this! I immediately shut down anybody who talks shit or makes demands of anyone in my room. I always tell them if your going to insult my guys or demand them to do things then I will have no chance but to ban you from my room. I dont care if he thinks him self some captain save a ho doing me favors. They get one chance. If they say one more thing I ban them forever.
You always have to be the driver in your own room or its easy to lose control. Lucky I dont have to deal with too much of this anymore.
Re: Other Models in Chat Room?
NOPE NOPE NOPE stay out of my room. If you like me hit me up on twitter first. But please do not make the first contact in my chatroom while Im trying to work. There are a few cammers that I don't mind doing it. But this is because I know them and their intentions. Now chaturbate tends to have a different vibe apparently. Im not completely comfortable with it but at least those chicks tip.
Re: Other Models in Chat Room?
I have been noticing i get a lot of girls entering my room on SM, with female usernames that is. Since they never talk to me and just kind of lurk there, I sometimes assume it may be another cam girl watching me rather than a female customer interested in a show. I have had a few occasions where people have come into my room and gone "omg what a fake slut like ew" but the username is some random name that makes it hard to tell if its a rude asshole guy or a hater cam girl. I have browsed other cam girls rooms before especially when I first started, mostly to see what they were doing to see if I was completely off course on what I was doing, but I would never even think of going into a models room and saying anything, or shit talking another model live on cam. I think at the end of the day its normal to wonder what the other girls are doing if your intention is to improve yourself, but if it is a scenario where a model is blatantly hating on you or being aggressive to the other people in the room, then it isn't okay. It actually makes me sad to hear about models hating on other models or being disruptive, because at the end of the day we are all trying to make money and pay our bills. Anyone trying to fuck with that is so petty.
Re: Other Models in Chat Room?
It's just easier to block models. It's not that all models are evil. It just saves you from the ones that bring you down because who needs that drama.

Ive thought about doing this for chaturbate. But it felt petty. Some of these chicks will come in and ask how my fiance is doing. We've started doing couples shows together. I probably should just block them so i dont have that ish creepin into the back of my mind while Im trying to work.
