Questions and Comments about cam-sites and cam-girls
Hi all,
I found SW the other day because I was wondering about how the rating system on streammate actually worked and thought maybe this was a good place to say hi and share some thoughts and ask questions that I feel weird asking in guest chat (because I think the models think I'm just bullshitting them and wasting their time).
These questions and comments are in no particular order. Feel free to answer some, all, or none of them. Just understand that I'm coming from a place of genuine curiosity and not trying to be a jerk haha :)
Questions:
How long is a typical private (not exclusive) show? Masturbating is not like sex, I'm 25 and pretty much have it down to a science lol, so it can go pretty freaking fast. But then I feel bad that I'm done and it has been anywhere from 5-10 minutes (almost max).
If someone joins an already going private show and then leaves pretty quick (10 seconds or less) how annoying is it? Sometimes I take a shot in the dark on a girl I've never seen based entirely on her profile and whatever her picture is. But then you get in there and some guy has her doing some really specific thing that I find totally unsexual (like just holding up their feet?) and I peace out. To each his own, I'd just rather not partake and spend the money on something I don't like.
How do your typical roleplay shows work? Like is it cam to cam, is it all on you, do they type back a lot or not at all?
Do you actually have a favorite roleplay or they all kind of just business? :thinking:
How creepy and unnerving is some of the freechat stuff? That's more of a comment. I'm in that chat too and good god sometimes I feel unsafe and they aren't even talking to me lol.
Would you rather do an exclusive 1-1 or a private with multiple customers (assuming that you make the same regardless)?
Can you tell somehow if someone is a previously paying customer?
Do you get the same % of the gold (on stream mate) and the per minute price? Or is one preferred over the other?
Comments: (these are not necessarily generalizations, more highlights from certain experiences. basically, please don't be offended!)
A frustration- I either rate shows 5 stars or don't rate them. Some of them are 5 star shows. Others I don't want to kill their rating over something small. Sometimes shows deserve less (usually complete lack of interest, texting/talking on the phone, etc.) so I end up not rating it. Unfortunately, from the customer point of view this results in ratings being largely useless. Obviously it matters a lot to you guys.
For me, unless a girl is responding to a direct question about it, talking about how cheap all the guys in free chat are and how little they tip, and how their per-minute price isn't that much might be the least attractive thing someone can do in free chat and makes me want to buy a show about 100 times less. To me it's the same as if you went out to eat and the waitress spent the whole time talking about how you better tip her and how little money she makes. Also, it completely breaks the illusion that she's remotely genuinely interested in performing, which also kills it for me.
When I join a room, I like to read the subject heading thing, and then go down and look at the profile. Streammate is weird and sometimes will take you to the profile but usually takes you to the guest chat. I like to read the profile first, and then either leave or talk to the girl depending on what I read. So profile is important. Also I'm not just staring at you, masturbating, and leaving haha. I've been kicked/banned from a few rooms. Maybe it is rude, but usually I assume there are a number of guys in there and it won't be noticed. If there were a way to go only to the profile it would be a lot easier haha.
If you don't have sound or it isn't on, it's pretty much a total buzzkill =/
The same goes for music that drowns out any sound you could possibly make.
Sitting just out of view, so like...half your head is visible and basically none of your face is frustrating. I've tipped before in freechat, but I draw the line at being able to see the performer's face for free before I take her to private =P
That's all I got off the top of my head. Cheers!

Um, did you have a point here? Because my eyes glazed over by the second stanza of this epic ballad. No, seriously, none of us have time for that much...whatever your post was trying to be.
Re: Questions and Comments about cam-sites and cam-girls
If you want the answers to all of these questions just take a camgirl to exclusive or true pvt and ask away, that's the best way to get us to do an interview.

I only want to add to this.

You don't have to spend any money on something you don't like, and I don't blame you for peacing out. But if you do join in and it's not your thing, throw her a buck or two then bounce. It's more polite and we won't get the idea that you are just trying to get a free peek. We don't get paid for those 10 seconds or any time under 35secs. Our time is valuable and most of us see this as stealing.
If you do want to really check out this girl but she is in private, add her to your favorites and return when she is out of private.
Oh PS Chris- the music is so we keep our sanity. If you want a girl to turn her music down, tip her a few bucks.
Oh PPS Chris- Girls could have a reason for sitting out of view. I'm out of view a little bit after I get back from private because I'm writing custie notes or getting cleaned up. They only give us 30secs to get ready for free chat after any show.
Oh PPPS Chris- Those are A LOT of questions. If you want me to answer the rest, I can in private, nekkid showing you my cunt. :D
Re: Questions and Comments about cam-sites and cam-girls
Damn bb that's a lot of questions. But I'm tipsy and bored so I'll give it a shot. ***Please note that this is all my opinion/experience and everything will vary from model to model***
For me, private shows last anywhere between 3 seconds and 30 minutes. 5-10 minutes is about average, and most of us don't care how long you do or don't last as long as you're respectful. In an average private show (for me) I'll have 10+ guys popping in and out for varying lengths of time. I generally get zero feedback from these people and I give zero brain power to thinking about why they're leaving when they do. If anything, I assume they have been room hopping and are continuing to do so, got disconnected, or had someone walk in on them. Don't care either way.
If you're room hopping and stay for less than a minute, a small tip is always nice. It lets me know you're not trying to get a free peep, so I'm much less likely to ban you in the future. If you have trouble staying connected, it's nice to let us know in case we're wondering or about to ban you. Also, please contact support if you have connection issues. Models are not tech support and most of us don't know how to fix anything on your end. And again, a small tip goes a LOOOONG way in helping us see that you're an actual customer vs a freeloader.
I do a ton of roleplaying shows, but I only do it in exclusive (or on skype, but DO NOT ASK ME ABOUT SKYPE ON STREAMATE). 90% of the time it's not cam2cam; I talk, the guy types. I personally just like roleplaying in general because it's fun and I like variety. I don't have a favorite roleplay, but I'm sure some models do. Also, cam2cam is fine with me, but some guys don't have a good cam or just aren't into it which is totally fine. Most of the cam2cam shows I get are vanilla private shows where the guy just wants me to watch him jerk off.
Freechat is a free for all. Sometimes you get some weirdos, sometimes you don't. What I would prefer NOT to see is kink shaming. So if someone asks me if I offer something YOU find weird, don't call them out on it. Nothing turns me off more than randos ganging up on someone innocently asking me a question.
I like doing group shows AND one-on-one shows. That's why I offer both options. Sometimes I'm more in the mood for one or the other. This will vary a lot from model to model. If you don't know, just ask.
Yes, I can tell if you're a previous customer. If you try to act like you've played with me before and you haven't I will 100% call you out. So don't do it. If you open a new account, please let us know so it doesn't get confusing.
What difference does Gold vs pay per minute make to you? If a model is doing a gold show and you want to see her, then tip. If you want to take her private, go private. Easy peasy. If you're not sure what a particular model prefers, just ask.
RE: the ratings dilemma.
If you don't like what you see (model is ignoring you in paid chat, doing a fetish show you don't enjoy) then ask her politely WITH A TIP to change what she's doing. If she doesn't respond within a minute or so, move on. Don't leave a bad review just because she happens to be catering to someone else at that moment. That's the risk you take with group shows (and part of why exclusive shows cost more). If she's mean and horrible to you *specifically* while you're paying for her time, or she's a bot or something, then I can understand leaving a low rating.
RE: Girls complaining in free chat
If you don't like what you see, move on. It's a legit hustle and some guys dig it.
RE: Getting kicked from rooms for taking too long to say hi (??)
If that's a major problem for you, say hi first and let her know you're reading her profile. Models are obviously allowed to curate the type of customers they want to play with, so to each her/his own. Maybe they didn't like your username or had you confused with another customer (duplicate usernames happen sometimes). I've personally never banned anyone for taking a few minutes to say hi so I'm not sure how much of a problem this really is.
RE: Typing vs talking
If you don't like models who type instead of talking then avoid those models. Some guys don't care or even prefer it that way (can't tell you how many "type BB???" requests I get in a day). If you see a model who's only showing part of her face, read her profile and menu to see if she offers full face/body in free chat, then TIP HER and ask if she'll show her full face/body/whatever you want to see. Same goes for the talking thing.
RE: Models not showing full body
Streamate doesn't allow full nudity in free chat, so sometimes we have to hide parts of ourselves if we haven't finished getting our clothes back on yet. And sometimes we're busy typing to someone else, or sending out videos, or a million other things. Free chat is free for a reason. Sometimes we have 100 people talking to us at once (or more if we're working multiple sites at the same time). And keep in mind that a lot of guys type privately, so only the model can see what they're saying. You never really know how swamped someone is, so please be patient.
If you want our full attention and want everything exactly the way YOU want it, you have to pay us for that privilege. It's as simple as that.
