RE: New name
MB, Can't say I knew you under the old name. I assume, however, this brand new you is a "new and improved" version of your old persona. No disrespect intended, but your post reminded me of a joke Stripperella posted on her personal Forum page some months ago. I copied it from her Forum. Here it is:
A woman went into a pet store, saw a parrot, and asked to buy
it. The man at the counter said, "I don't think you want that
one, it used to live in a whore house." The woman replied, "I
don't care I'll take it." She brought the parrot home and the
parrot said, "New house, new master."
The woman's daughter came home and the woman said, "I got us a
parrot." The parrot said, "New house, new master, new whores."
The woman's husband came home and the woman said, "Honey I got
us a parrot." The parrot said, "New house, new master, new
whores, HI George!!!"

RE: New name
Thank you MB. What is your old screen name? Is she retired, or does she occasionally make a guest appearance?....with MB's hairstyle? :)
RE: New name
I would imagine new or old would be welcome---@ $1.00 per minute, a mere $60 per hour for "friendship."
RE: New name
your problem with her price is? are you one of those who wishes to decide what a host can or can not charge? if you dont like the price... there are at least 1 or 2 other girls online you can go see
and if she is working at home that is 30$ per hour or if in studio that is 15$ per hour.... keep in mind she does not get 100%... 40-50% minus studio take. cheers
and if she is working at home that is 30$ per hour or if in studio that is 15$ per hour.... keep in mind she does not get 100%... 40-50% minus studio take. cheers
RE: New name
I have no problem with her price, or anyone's price. My problem is with the underlying assumption in this category (Make New Friends) that one ought to pay for friendship. The nominal aim and purpose of this category is disingenuous. CC is not only complicit with the hosts in this dissembling, they are the architect of it! I have no problem if a host does not care to engage in nudity. As with price it is her prerogative to do so, but PLEASE do not tell me your real purpose here is to make friends!
RE: New name
Why cant ones real purpose be to make friends here? Maybe your mind has noting in it other then seeing naked girls half your age…. But some of us actually enjoy talking with the girls. My original reason for joining CC had nothing to do with vids at all… it had to do with a real world friend of mine who worked here. I do agree it might be better just to rename the two categories as Non-adult… but some people do come here to make friends… and if they make some money in the process…. Who really cares? Not me. Thanks and have a good night
RE: New name
“hmmm,”
I won't, like you, conjecture what your mind may or may not have in it. I will attempt to answer your question, and try to make clear both what I AM saying and what I am NOT saying about the category itself and the possibility of friendship here in general.
In a previous thread I asked: “Is there anyone here who honestly believes that one should pay for friendship? Even more incomprehensible is what “Family” means in this context---what that the host’s dad should pay her to talk with her on Live Video?!!! Lol!”
I have heard some convoluted arguments* to somehow justify or rationalize the stark contradiction that is apparent to everyone, except those who are willfully blind because they have a need to deny the obvious: Paying for friendship is antithetical to the very nature of friendship. I am NOT criticizing a host’s desire to make money, but I AM saying the mere assertion that it is not the principal reason for being here is simply not credible because it does not square with the observable reality. What’s more, if friendship alone was the aim, why the need to come here? There are numerous free chat sites where one might pursue friendship without the ambiguities and veiled intentions so characteristic of these non-adult categories in particular.
*One such argument went something like this:
Host: “Haven’t you ever helped out a friend with money?”
Guest: “Yes, of course.”
Host: “So, why do you say friendship should not have anything to do with money?”
Guest: “I never said any such thing. I said it is antithetical to the nature of friendship
to pay for it. That I would help out a friend with money does not mean that
friendship is predicated on money. My decision to help a friend with
money is born of that friendship; it does not follow that friendship is born
of giving money to someone. If A is the cause of B, it does not follow that B
is the cause of A. If a virus causes a cold, it does not follow that a cold causes
a virus.”
Host: “Well, all I know is I’ve made lots of friends here and they often help me out
with money.”
In sum, the host’s argument amounts to mere assertion. The fact that a friendship of sorts may have developed between a host and guest does not prove the claim that the host’s primary intention here is to “make new friends.” I know friendships are made here, but they come about not because of, but in spite of the host’s real primary purpose here: to make money. The honest hosts (e.g. DarkMoon) acknowledge that reality.

RE: Difference Between Men and Women
Humorous observations Fluffy, and pretty much on the mark. Here are a few other random thoughts about the sexes made by observers throughout the ages:
If a man would be happy for a month, take a wife.
If he would be happy for a year, slaughter a pig
But if a man would be happy for all of his days, plant a garden
Chinese Proverb
"A misogynist is a man who hates women as much as they hate each other." H.L. Mencken
Lady Astor (?I beleive) to Winston Churchill: "Winston, If I were married to you, I would poison you."
Churchill: "Madam, If I were married to you, I would take it."

Finale: A sexist (but funny) joke
The late Sir Thomas Beechem, director of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, was the last orchestra director in Europe and North America to admit women to its ranks. When a reporter asked him why, Beechem did not hesitate in his reply: "Simple really. If the woman is particularly attractive it will bother the men. And if she is not, it will bother me." lol!
Simple suggestions for hosts :))
These are some personal suggestions i have for hosts, which i believe can help them think of ways to improve what they do. Guys, put up your own to assist on this better-service never-ending odyssey, but please, oh please do not include useless posts like "get a plastic surgery", "make free shows", etc.
1.- Wear different clothes. You might have a super-ultra sexy outfit, but if you wear it every day, it might be a turn-off... not because of the way it looks, but because it's unhealthy not to change clothes.
2.- Upload new photos, even if just a few. If you look great in pics from 2003, well, great, but that's 4 years ago. In 2007 you might already have 20kg more, or 20kg less, you might have a beard, etc.
3.- Take 5 minutes to create a profile with more info. I never go and see a girl who has no info in her profile. Think of your profile as your bussiness card. How many lawyers, engineers, designers, etc, are there out there who have "XXX :PPPP =))) =)))))))" on their bussiness cards? Not many, i bet.
4.-If we are cam2cam, and you work in a studio, don't call your friends to come and see me. I don't call my friends nor co-workers to come see you. If you want to do so, better ask me first, i might agree (and then we can have a 3 way :D).
5.- Make a list with member's names, so you don't forget and don't have to ask again.. Adding info like "country", "age", "fetish" (lol) might be very useful to you. That way you can pretend you remember who i am in case you don't.
6.- If someone calls you on the phone, say "sorry, phone". Don't hide the phone and try to pretend it's very normal that you are showing me your belly (or your shoes) just out of nowhere so i don't see you're on the phone. BUT, remember you're at work, so you better talk fast :P ... for time is money. This applies for CC and ANY other job. Our bosses wouldn't let us members chat with you hosts in the office. Get what i mean? :)
That's all i can think for now :))
Cheers.

RE: Simple suggestions for hosts :))
Wow,You should work in studio as administrator:)))I suppose this advices are for newbies:P
RE: Simple suggestions for hosts :))
could do the job you do Sexy.... they just could not deal with anyone being rude to them, they just love to complain and try to run others lives :P
RE: Simple suggestions for hosts :))
Also. Wash your hair, brush your teeth from time to time. If you have a mustache wax it. Try and give a little smile during a video. I know you hate your job and me but it was your decision to work here. Remember you are performing for me not your gfs in the studio. Look at me not them. Stop chatting with other members during my video. Do you think I am stupid? You type for 2 minutes and all that appears on my screen is mmmmmmmmmmm. Also lower your price if you are not getting viewers. Supply and demand. Basic economics. Increase it when members are around. Lower it when members are scarce. Or just sit there and paint your toenails. Your call.
RE: Simple suggestions for hosts :))
you do not want to know that i am horny the very first second i am there with you??? but why should i tell you my name? or even be polite?
RE: Simple suggestions for hosts :))
know that.... it was just me being sarcastic.... not the host, but just in general. i have never cared for the trolls and children in this joint. and never cared for the rudness in some of the posts.
to host
maybe we should give them all numbers.so when they come to vid they can say"Hi,i'm horny 68..."or whatever their horny number is :--))
Mexico 29w - 12l - 10d
It was an interesting game to watch. Mexico played better than the USA (imo). But of course the USA scored in both (out of three?) chances they had. Mexico missed to score countless times.
There's a saying for the way Mexico plays football: "They play as good as ever, but they lose like always".
The USA has improved a lot, and that's a good thing.

RE: 4 NEW Members!!!
I just had a look at your profile and i saw something- lets say funny- there. On your "Turn off" i read you dont like simple guys! Amazing! I wonder what kind of guys you expect to visit your video. Here is a place where guys come because they feel alone, are unhappy on their marriage or just single and simple guys like me, looking for a nice girl to talk with, to have a laught, to share a joke or for some sexy fun.
Ohh boy! I not wonder now why i visit a single one host here!!!

RE: 4 NEW Members!!!
A___, You actually expect guests to read?!! Lol! Not only that, you encourage them to do so! What are we seeing--a "kindlier, gentler" Stripperella in 2007?!! Before long, you might even be even be retiring your ray gun! See what happens when you become a blond?! I warned you! :)
RE: 4 NEW Members!!!
Friend, thanks for the compliment. I hope, however, that you did not think my irony was a criticism of Stripperella; it was a compliment. I would not want to be the one responsible for causing you to spend even your first penny here, but if you decide to do so, you will find very few who can match beauty and brains with Stripperella.
I also think " 'tis me" is right. Stripperella is not putting down "simple" guys, as in "regular" guys. She is no doubt using the term in the pejorative sense, "simple" as in the kindred English word, "simpleton," meaning idiot or someone wanting in intelligence.

RE: Simple thoughts
Tired one", "Simple," but dangerously so. I genuinely appreciate you sentiment and it is a rather popular one in our age, and perhaps you are being entirely ironic as you lead readers to the last of your declarations: "I forgive myself for not asking God's forgiveness." But even here, the language belies a very modern problem, namely that the "Self" is someone the final arbiter of all our actions and relations in the world.
I think the fatal flaw, intimidated but not fully acknowledged in your final declaration, is the assumption that we can "forgive ourselves" anything. Let me hasten to add, lest all the feel-good, new agers jump all over me, that I am NOT suggesting that we ought not or cannot "give ourselves a break"---as the expression goes. My point is that only in a thoroughgoing narcissistic, self-referential society would the notion of "forgiving oneself" not be regarded as 'prima facie' absurd. The notion of forgiveness implies an 'other'. It implies an offense was committed outside oneself and therefore the forgiveness can only originate outside oneself. Even the claim, "Well, I only hurt myself," is not only demonstrably false, it is further evidence of the solipsistic and spiritually bankruptcy of our age.
I agree that one should give oneself a break, but in so doing we must realize that the origin of that “break” comes not from within, but from the love and kindness and willingness to forgive from those around us (and, some would argue, ultimately from God). It is not the ‘sui generis’ creation of the false Idol of the Modern Age: the Self.

RE: Simple thoughts
O_O_, Why is forgiveness needed in the matter of what you are calling your "disadvantages?" As I said above in my reply to "tired one," I understand the sentiment, but I'm not sure---if I understand your remark---that "forgiveness" is the proper word to describe what I think you are trying to say. If, by "disadvantages," you mean your own personal shortcomings, and that you accept these shortcomings, good. But understanding our shortcomings and accepting them is not something requiring "forgiveness." Forgiveness implies the commission of some offense or wrongdoing. A human limitation does not constitute a wrong.
My point in my reply to "tired one" is that forgiveness must come from outside us. We can give ourselves a break, or not beat ourselves up over something we've done wrong. We can even---and must if we want to be free of the burden of guilt that weighs on our conscience---squarely acknowledge and accept responsibility for our wrongdoing, but we cannot "forgive" ourselves. That must come from an "other," human and/or divine.

RE: Simple thoughts
Tired one, i really like ur post and I pray that I will be able to forgive myself.
Melomane, I agree with most of ur sociological remarks about our age. But i dont agree with ur central point: I am a psychotherapist and I work with victims of sexual abuse. For my clients (and of cousre for myself in the areas where i have been a victim of abuse) it is helpfull to find a way to forgive their wrongdoers (I hope this is the correct english term). But even more it is helpfull - if not say necesarry for them to forgive themselves the fact that they became victims. It might be difficult to understand this concept, but i think it is vital! Becoming a victim is not an action, and it is nor ur "fault". But if u do become a victim there will allways be a part in u that blames urself! U blame urself for being so weak, so vulnerable, so fragile. U can even hate urself for being vulnerable and fragile. And so i think the only solution is to forgive urself! (So in this way i agree very much with olgaolgas message!)
I agree with u, melomane, that forgiveness is something between one and another. - But i think just as we can have a dialogue with ourselves, or between different parts of ourselves, we can also be referential with ourselves and forgive ourselves. I have experienced this in therapeutic processes and in meditation. It is a process inside our hearts.
This doesnt not imply that there is a higher being that can give us forgiveness like in the christian (and maybe also other religion's) sense. But God would forgive us our actions, or maybe even our thoughts. But i dont see a need for God to forgive me my having become a victim. I think this i can and must only forgive myself.
Thx reading!
Pls give ur opinion.

RE: Simple thoughts
we can also make peace with ourself, i think is what the tired one wanted to say
RE: Simple thoughts
Long John,
You raise an interesting question concerning the phenomenon of someone feeling guilt for an action that he or she did not commit and for which the person is not responsible. I must confess I had not thought of this special case, and I thank you for writing, as it is clearly an important aspect of human psychology. It is a curious phenomenon that one should feel guilty or responsible for a malevolent action of which one was not the author, but rather a victim. I am not unfamiliar with the problem and it does not appear to be confined to victims of sexual abuse. As such, it may be more useful to examine this more broadly as it pertains to victimhood in general. A couple examples will suffice to make my point: I have heard reports of Holocaust survivors feeling guilty that they had survived while others did not. Then there is the much less serious, but common phenomenon of a victim of a common assault either physical or verbal in which the victim suffers, not just the expected righteous anger, but an accompanying feeling of guilt for somehow "allowing" himself (or herself) to be humiliated. It’s also interesting that no matter the precise nature of the offense, when people describe victimhood in vernacular and vulgar speech, they borrow the language of sexual abuse. They speak of “getting fucked” or in prison/street vernacular getting “punked” (i.e.sodomized). For men this means emasculation; for women a loss of chastity associated with their femininity. More succinctly, a loss of manhood and womanhood respectively. As you know, a victim’s suffering often takes on the form of an obsessive replaying of the trauma in which the victim fantasizes a different response to the assault, as if a compensatory David & Goliath-like dream.
Long John, the idea of the victim supplying, in effect, his own ‘other’ in the act of having a dialogue with himself is useful, but raises as many questions as it answers. I don’t disagree with the truth of your observation, but it causes me to ask from where this new voice arises, a voice that in the course of dialogue with oneself succeeds in moving the victim to an act of self-forgiveness, which helps to heal wounds and relieve his soul of the ceaseless torment resulting not merely from the trauma of the event, but also from the infernal dialogue of obsession alluded to above.
As self-conscious creatures capable of reflection, we carry on a dialogue with ourselves from our very early childhood until we die. As such, the act of self-dialogue comes as no surprise to me. What interests me more is the genesis of this new voice, this benevolent interloper who appears to overthrow the malevolent interlocutor that has imprisoned the Self in an obsessive, spirit-draining dialogue that bears no fruit.
Again, just where does this liberating voice come from? The answer is by no means self-evident or empirically observable, though the salutary effects of its arrival are. My sense is that it does not spring sui generis from the Self. (In fact, I reject the notion of an “essential Self”, but that is whole other discussion). Rather it is an effect of the individual having been touched in some way---directly or indirectly, consciously or unconsciously---by something outside himself. Thus, the ‘other’ in this so-called dialogue with oneself does not have its origins in the individual soul who suffers, but is by some spiritual process a result of one soul communing with another. In this way the external ‘other’ that is internalized becomes the agent of forgiveness, even though it may appear as if it sprang miraculously from within the soul of one who, by all evidence, lacks the capacity to bring it about. Lower the bucket as many times as you like, a dry well will never fill it. The healing must ultimately come from the spiritual succor of a source outside oneself. That moment arrives when the soul of the victim, so closed by trauma, finally opens to being refreshed by the healing waters outside itself. Thus equipped, the battered soul may then find he or she can engage in what I believe is mislabeled as an act of “self-forgiveness.”
P.S. I agree with you that a belief in God is not necessary for a solution to this problem.
You raise an interesting question concerning the phenomenon of someone feeling guilt for an action that he or she did not commit and for which the person is not responsible. I must confess I had not thought of this special case, and I thank you for writing, as it is clearly an important aspect of human psychology. It is a curious phenomenon that one should feel guilty or responsible for a malevolent action of which one was not the author, but rather a victim. I am not unfamiliar with the problem and it does not appear to be confined to victims of sexual abuse. As such, it may be more useful to examine this more broadly as it pertains to victimhood in general. A couple examples will suffice to make my point: I have heard reports of Holocaust survivors feeling guilty that they had survived while others did not. Then there is the much less serious, but common phenomenon of a victim of a common assault either physical or verbal in which the victim suffers, not just the expected righteous anger, but an accompanying feeling of guilt for somehow "allowing" himself (or herself) to be humiliated. It’s also interesting that no matter the precise nature of the offense, when people describe victimhood in vernacular and vulgar speech, they borrow the language of sexual abuse. They speak of “getting fucked” or in prison/street vernacular getting “punked” (i.e.sodomized). For men this means emasculation; for women a loss of chastity associated with their femininity. More succinctly, a loss of manhood and womanhood respectively. As you know, a victim’s suffering often takes on the form of an obsessive replaying of the trauma in which the victim fantasizes a different response to the assault, as if a compensatory David & Goliath-like dream.
Long John, the idea of the victim supplying, in effect, his own ‘other’ in the act of having a dialogue with himself is useful, but raises as many questions as it answers. I don’t disagree with the truth of your observation, but it causes me to ask from where this new voice arises, a voice that in the course of dialogue with oneself succeeds in moving the victim to an act of self-forgiveness, which helps to heal wounds and relieve his soul of the ceaseless torment resulting not merely from the trauma of the event, but also from the infernal dialogue of obsession alluded to above.
As self-conscious creatures capable of reflection, we carry on a dialogue with ourselves from our very early childhood until we die. As such, the act of self-dialogue comes as no surprise to me. What interests me more is the genesis of this new voice, this benevolent interloper who appears to overthrow the malevolent interlocutor that has imprisoned the Self in an obsessive, spirit-draining dialogue that bears no fruit.

RE: clothes
Skirts are great. Forget panty hose. I can't believe some of you wear them. Thong panties are the best. I personally like a top with buttons. Leave a few buttons undone. Try and match your bra and panties in color. Something cute. Lacy. Take your time getting out of the clothes but not to the point of stalling or appearing scammy. Shirt first, skirt, bra, panties. Look at the camera.
RE: clothes
has a different style... best to fit what you look good in :)
i do agree street clothes can be very nice.... lovely top and skirt... or a nice tight pair of jeans :))
