    Default Making friends with camgirls

    Hi,

    I'm sorry if this post comes off weird or not allowed or anything.

    Recently I've been getting down about webcamming since I started it full time this month. It's such an isolating job and only a couple of friends I have know about what I do but I can't really talk them much about it, they don't understand.

    I realised that I'd really like to make some fellow camgirl friends but I SUCK at starting conversations etc. I just don't want to be a pain to anyone.

    My question is, or more like some general advice would be appreciated, how do you go about making friends with other camgirls?

    Because I'm so new I'm worried that other girls might think that I'm trying to use them to get noticed/steal their ideas or whatever but I just want someone to talk to that understands our job and how tough it can be sometimes. I've also found that sites like MFC can be quite 'clicky' and rightly so I guess. The models that do well or from similar areas of the world all get to know each other really well and I feel like I'm on the outside looking in.

    So yeah sorry about sounding a little pathetic in this post but just feeling kinda down/sad/lonely. Any advice appreciated



    xoxo

    There's nothing pathetic about reaching out, you're human after all

    I know a few camgirls on skype that I talk to. We keep it each motivated and saint. It's nice to have people that understand and completely support you hoeing!

    I'm from the Uk , but now living in Copenhagen , Denmark.
    Im yet to meet anyone on the scene here or even make a industry friend it really does blow!

    like alot of my online uk friends know what i do , but i cant rant on facebook about it all as i have family and my bfs family etc on there who dont have a clue what im upto!
    I also understand the feelings too!- im @curvycaseydk . It would be nice to be able to converse with others and well keep each other motivated which right now is my biggest downfall.Im studying 5 days a week and trying to get fitter by going the gym and doing pole classes and by the time im home im like dead and want to eat every carb in sight and sleep! LOL
    so a motivation buddy would be amazing , plus general ranting and so on xo

    The big thing what I've found over the years is that you don't necessarily need a friend who is in the exact same line of work as you do. You basically need a friend for different parts of your life and interest.

    Sometimes it does help to have a friend who is in the exact same field as you - as it helps with growing your business or launching a new project.

    When I Was camming full-time it was just helpful to have friends who were just people who ran their own businesses and works from home.

    I found out only having friends who are just in sex work actually doesn't help me grow as a person because I've found they spent a lot of time being a little narrow minded. This whole we work in sex work so we much stick together motto can actually become self destructive.

    When I started my internet business I couldn't talk to my sex work friends about it because they had such a negative view on it which made no sense because we are both in an internet business but they also didn't get some of the lingo.

    So it ended up where i had to heavily rely on social events to meet other people in different environments of entrepreneurship and home business, then when I got more into my internet business I found they have a conference almost every month so that helped with meeting more people who are in a similar industry then me where I didn't have to just completely depend on my sex worker friends.

    I can understand where the OP is coming from because being a Sex Worker of any kind is very isolating for various reasons.

    I've worked in this industry for many years in Brothels - Independent Escort & now cam & phone work but I can still remember how I felt when I first started doing this kind of work and it was like stepping into a twilight zone. It was a big shock to the system!

    I once worked in a Brothel that got raided and I couldn't even make my one phone call because not a soul knew what I did.

    Now all these years later I couldn't care less who knows what I do and I've realised that people are not going to be a shocked or disgusted as you imagine they would be.

    The only one time that I had a negative experience was when I an Escort and I needed some financial advise and I had one recommended to me and as soon I disclosed what I did for a living he put the phone down!

    But , yes family and friends who are not involved in our lines of work they just can't really understand the issues we can face, they just have no comprehension of what its like being a sex worker really. Unless you actually do this kind of work you can't relate to it at all x

    I completely agree, Kristen.

    It's not silly at all. The people I have told are my best friend and my boyfriend - I trust them both with my life.
    I am a very social person, always out for dinners and walks at the weekend with my friends and sometimes it's exhausting to always have to lie - I hate lying lol! I just know, that some of my friends wouldn't be able to deal with it - they're not bad people, just have different views to me.

    I would love some cam girl friends (I got chatting to a T escort on Twitter, and she was wonderfully kind), but I am really shy with new people! Feel free to PM me if you'd like to add me on Twitter. Just setting up my new account now. xx

    This is solid advice. As someone that's been in the sex industry for 7-8 years, this has been my experience.

    It's true what Minnie said. When I first started I was fixated on networking and befriending cam models. I thought that was the point but I truthfully got burned by my ambition.

    Some of the models that were cool with my on Twitter ended up copying my shows and poaching my customers. One of them even use my old nickname on social media right now.

    It's really important to surround yourself with solid people, and know that all good things come in time. The best pals I've made in camming are here - not Twitter. Not randomly. I cultivated it through time and trust. Like all good friendships and relationships.

    Be aware, always. This industry can really take u for a ride if u let it. People that are too quick to jump into your life, be aware. Take your time. Enjoy yourself and the right people will find you

    I think it's really important to have friends in the same business.
    When I was stripping, I had tons of girlfriends, ( my ' pussy posse,'). I can't tell you how much fun that time of my life was!
    When I transitioned into camming, I got very depressed because all of a sudden I was alone, and felt isolated.
    I told a couple of straight girlfriends, and guy friends that I cammed, but all of them shamed me, and cut the friendship .
    Since then I've been tight-lipped about camming to new friends. It's such a drag, because I have to 'monitor' and edit what I talk about. That in itself is exhausting.
    I've made a lot of friends with cam girls ,' virtually ', and it's the best!
    I recently reconnected with a stripper friend of mine, and I'm over the moon happy about it.
    She knows what camming is, because she tried it, and hated it. She realizes that it is hard work, and the promise of making $5000 per week is bogus. Lol!
    She now does sensual massages, so she has lots of time to talk on the phone(:we live in different states).
    We have so much in common, and it's given me new life, honestly.
    Can you do a Skype hangout group with other cam girls? Or perhaps meet in person, if they live close to you?
    Isolation is a killer, believe me.

    I'm not sure the cammers themselves are different but the scene is very different. I'm still pretty new (under 2yrs full time) but from my basic understanding is say US models are more public and social media orientated whereas UK girls are a bit more secretive. Maybe it's because our country is the size of a town in the states and the chances of bumping into some stalker psycho is more likely. I'm sure more experience girls can either add to that or tell me I'm totally wrong

    eta: I'd say the guys are different too. From my personal experience (camming on a US site since Jan) the British guys have darker fetishes. Again it could just be my personal experience but US guys are nicer and British guys can get dark and scary really fast

    tY and it actually makes sense.

    I was going to say the customers are different from what I can tell, the shows are more fetish than the US.It seems British men are more sexually advanced, not as closed minded. I wonder if its the accent that makes them nicer bc I find British men to be nicer to me.

    I've always found fellow escorts to be too catty and thirsty to be real friends however I'm happy to find that the girlies I have befriended through cam appear to have a different approach despite us all technically being 'competition' we are smart enough to see past that. Escorts lack such self-awareness and I have never trusted any of the ones I've befriended over the years.

    Some of my closest camgirl friends have been made through Twitter and Skype like everyone is saying. I also made a couple of close friends when I was doing a cam-a-thon and added a couple girls on skype so we could keep each other accountable. I love chatting with other camgirls on skype and anyone who wants my handle can have it!

    sigh i wish i could meet others from my area.Copenhagen and danish girls in general is like so secretive about stripping and cam work.
    Im at a pole school too and even there the girls dont mention anything about themselfs nor ever want to hang etc.

    i love the whole pussy posse idea! xo

    You don't have to apologize, you aren't pathetic at all. This job is isolating and can be quite lonely, totally agree with you. In my case, I usually try to talk more to costumers than with other camgirls. It's good to vent and it also makes you have a connection with them which is good for your work. Just don't do it with anyone, just good regulars that have been around for some time.

    I agree. I have one or two really long time regulars whom I can talk about anything with. One of them is an older gentleman with a wife and kids and we swap family vacation stories and pictures all the time. Another is a guy I can bitch to about anything. I consider them both very good friends but customers as friends is a rare thing. I've been in the business 3.5 years and I have exactly two.
