    Default The Awkward Hello...

    Do you guys try to greet each guy who enters your room by name? Lately, I've been doing a lot of "perving" and tipping/buying shows with girls on SM (trying to learn from the best). For some reason, when a girl calls out my customer name, it makes me feel awkward. So I rarely call people out in my room. Am I just weird about this or do you think it makes guys feel like they are being put on the spot as well???

    I used to do that and I find it invariably drove them away. The only exception to this is if a really good reg comes in, I find they like it that I immediately notice and acknowledge them. Now if someone new comes in I'll issue a generic greeting like, "Hey cutie," or, "Well hello boo boo, what's up?" That seems to work much better for me, especially when I don't say it *immediately* when the guy comes in but wait half a minute or so.

    I agree 100% with Courtney and I do the same thing. Sometimes even my longtime regulars run away when I say hello, but I think that's because they are not spending $$ that night and don't want to be put on the spot (?).

    I've actually seen girls call out screen names during Gold shows and say "Mr X, aren't you going to chip in?" Not my style.

    Good to know I'm not alone! Also, I picked a really lame customer name and I hate hearing it over and over.

    But yeah, today a top girl kept calling out the guys names that hadn't chipped in. I had bought a show from her before and hated that she called me out. I had been in the room for like three minutes!

    Good thread, I usually always say hi by name to everyone that comes in, and find they leave pretty quickly. I will definitely try not doing this and see if it helps!

    I do not know why this did not click in my brain. Even though I love my customer name, when I hear a girl call it my eyes bulge out and I am like uhh uhh.. omg she can see me (even though I know she can't). I an only imagine what it feels like to someone who has not been on the other side of the cam.
    I was wondering why they kept leaving. ahahhahahha

    yep,they run like hell the second I acknowledge them too,usually ill issue a sweeping hello to all the guys that have just come in every few min,and if they stay around for awhile but don't say anything,ill eventually ask them how they are individually.they tend to stay much longer that way..i think of it as Harry Potter syndrome- "oh snap,she just said my name!she can actually SEE ME?! I thought I had my invisibility cloak on son!" lol

    I don't tend to say "hello" until someone says it first... I feel silly if I say hi and they just run off. I think it is like the feeling I get when I enter a shop and the assistant says "hello, do you need any help?" I immediately feel uncomfortable and that I am being watched, especially if it is really quiet in there, makes me want to run out instantly or put my head down. I'm just really shy by nature, maybe guys feel like that too. Although if I do have regulars that I know like to stick around then I will acknowledge them with a jolly hello

    So how do you acknowledge them at all? i have so many guys that come in my room and leave the second get it in when i work MFC. Ive started saying hi because I hear MFC is a very personality based site and so far the response has been the same from the guys weither i say hi or not so i dunno anymore now. What sites are you guys working on? But I have noticed this too i had a custie lurking and he was literally the only one in my room the second i say hi he leaves.....

    I usually say "hiiiii guys" every few guys that come in. And if no one really responds, I pretend I have someone talking to me and say "I'm great/awesome/fantastic/etc. How are you?". Then usually someone will respond to that.

    I usually wait for them to say hi in chat first, then I'll say hi. Sometimes some guys just want to sit in and not have to say anything. If no one talks I'll joke and say "are all of your hands too busy??? say hi ^_^"

    Not weird at all but because I am shameless. I say hi and greet them by their screen name individually then I ask for their name to make it extra personal.

    I pretend like im talking to someone ALL the time,if my rm is empty or if I don't want to answer some idiot's question.Ill just ignore and "oh my,yall are all talking at once,promise im not ignoring you if I haven't answered you,now let me back it up and go down the list,i sure am a popular girl today,teehee!" and I always make sure le dumbass is at the bottom of that list,and never gets answered lol but Im on SM,so i have NO CLUE if not greeting everyone would work on MFC or not since theyre so different from one another...

    Wow thank you girls I was doing this since the beginning and I was thinking "Oh, I am such a good webcam girl, I am paying attention to all of my customers." But I was confused about their leaving after I called their names too though. SO that is the answer. Thanks again

    I call out my regulars by name as soon as I see them in the free cchat room. And they come back each day so I guess they like it. I don't call out new persons names unless they say 'hello' then I reply with "hello 'insertnamehere'". I think it helps that distinguish between an actual live model and one of those models that are really men streaming pre-recorded shows of women lol.

    Also yes I do the whole talking to myself thing. I think I have recommended it a few times in previous posts. It really helps. When you go into a room and a girl is sitting blank faced staring at the webcam silently for 20 minutes its .. pardon my french... fucking shit. If you go into a room and the girl is chatting (with an imaginary person - but the customer has no idea that shes actually talking to herself) it is much more fun and u get to hear her voice and see her personality and will probably stick around. I talk to myself pretty much all day long. Most of the time I am reading forums and news websites to keep myself entertained and then I will just use topics that I've browsed across as ideas for my fake discussions with Mr Invisable who is PMing me.

    It really depends for me... some guys run, and with other guys it makes them all excited and they take me private. I do agree though, that regulars do usually like the recognition.

    Yeah, I always say hi to the regulars and people that greet me first. In my fake conversations, people are always being really nice to me. For instance "Awwwww, thanks babe!" and "Wow, you guys are so sweet to me today".

    I know what you mean.. it's a hard habit for me to break, because when I was active on MFC, it was kinda expected that you'd socialize with everyone. SM guys are a little timid for some reason.

    LOL red! we say the SAME EXACT THINGS! Im aaaaaaalways thanking someone for commenting on my dazzling gorgeousness and for the entire rm groveling at my feet

    I ALWAYS greet regs or anyone that has spent money on me as soon as I can open their profile and see what ive written about them lol which I try to do as fast as humanly possible.Sometimes Ive had someone give me a bad rating or it shows they've spent money but its only bc they've been a 30 sec peeper 4 million times and ran over a whole 3 sec a cple times and actually had to cough up $5.those guys don't my usual warm greeting,its pretty much a "hey so and so,you did ________ last time,or too many times,and now im gonna hafta ban ya,try not to be a douche from now on if you don't want other models to do the same to ya, then *banhammer* and the whole time im thinking "how DARE they rate my show anything but a 5!" I feel like a whiny girlfriend or something "WHY did you DO that to me???? wheres the communication?!we HAVE to COMMUNICATE and TALKKK if you want this to work!!!! I could have turned your shit upside down but instead you chose to keep your mouth shut and make me look bad,you EMBARRASSED me in front of EVERYONE!!! now look at us,this is ALL YOUR FAULT!"

    LOL! My most frequently used line just happens to be, "Awwww, thanks babe!" I say it probably 200 times a day at least.

    I talk to myself too! And acknowledge EVERY regular *every time* because I genuinely do get excited when they come in my room. As for the rest I only say hi if they say it 1st. I only talk to myself in SM because I never use party chat. Talking to myself on MFC would be a little weird so I don't hahaha

    I love telling stories and I think it makes the guys want to stick around. So I usually have some fictional, awesome regular-type I'm telling a story to. "OMG babe, you would not believe what happened when I went out with my girlfriends last night....." Then I tell a story that may or may not be true, but its usually sexy or endearing. It's kind of like a weird journal I get to keep. I am a silly bb!
