How much do you guys set your video and call rates?
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
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.
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.
I see a suggest button after they contact you first. Its located where you are suppose to type the message. Its says suggest and is in red letters.
The suggest button can be kinda awkward though, it's hit or miss on good suggestions.
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.
my pics got denied and i have yet to log on to the site on a computer to delete and try again.. the reason they got denied bc they were too sexual .. i had did my makeup n was in a tube top bra but i guess i looked naked.. grrr
I can't stand the guys whose first message is, "Send nudes" -_-
Omg, I only have 12 sips left!
After repeatedly refusing to go off site with him.
Want to reply "That sounds like a personal problem."
I'm chatting with an older guy who looks like a fat John Oliver. He's super sweet. I've been reading all his texts in a British accent. :)
So if we do hit the suggest button first do we end up paying if they reply or no?
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)
Genius Phrendly!!!
Love it!
