Does CC give a host an incorrect self image?
Question for hosts. When you are here at CC you have dozens of men every day saying how beautiful you are, how hot you are, how they wish they could meet you in person, how they want to marry you, etc.etc. Now some of your are just average looking girls at best. Does all this adoration go to your head or do you take it for the bullshit it is? Curious.
RE: Does CC give a host an incorrect self image?
Bestest friend, you are SOOOO right, as usual. You are perfect. :-)
nearly perfect ... but not quite
I would say you are perfect, too, but you can use a little more "up top" to be even more perfect.
"More perfect?" ...
"More perfect?"...hmmm, now that's an interesting concept to think about! lol!
RE: nearly perfect ... but not quite
PrettyWitch is hot just the way she is ... no need for more anywhere ... also a great girl to talk with
RE: Does CC give a host an incorrect self image?
being a normal women i like attension and adoration so if some one tell me that i am beautul, charming,awesome etc etc etc - i believe without any doubts!!! but if a persom claim he is ready to marry after 5 min in chat,,,,well i am not crazy yet :)
incorrect self image?
Have u ever heard the saying thet beauty is in the eye of the beholder or the beer holder lol.
Of course only guys that like me would come to see me in videochat. And these who don't will just keep looking. I am happy with the compliments in real life and of course i like them. Every woman likes to be complimented and I give compliments to the girls at work too even the guys. Everybody enjoys being told how nice his smile is and how it brings so much positivity to the atmosphere.

RE: Does CC give a host an incorrect self image?
There are 4 or 5 russian hosts that fell in love with me after 7 minutes of textchat.
RE: Does CC give a host an incorrect self image?
:)) all russians will get in love with you for few $
RE: Does CC give a host an incorrect self image?
just like i believe a host when she tells me OOOOOOOOOOH..ur soooo big, honey ur just what i want now, where is it again??? LOOOOL
RE: Does CC give a host an incorrect self image?
I think most hosts will admit after a while they grow out of the unconditional adoration they seem to get from members most of the time. I would expect that even if one is beautiful and knows it, it can seem to be more of a hindrance than a benefit to getting people to treat you as a real person as opposed to just something pretty to look at. It is true, men will shower pretty girls with compliments and there is nothing really wrong in that, but someone who only ever says what is good about you and never what is bad must be missing something about you right?
Polite etiquette demands we do not always start with what is bad with someone we meet but we try and smooth the proceedings with kind words and compliments instead. For a first encounter this is quite acceptable but for a long term friendship or more it is completely wrong.
I equate it along the lines of people who only ever ask how you are when they know you are ok, because if you had to tell them all your troubles they would switch off and become bored very quickly. We all know these sorts of people. A veil of interest over a façade of caring.
It is not right to give compliments when you expect a positive response it should be given because you mean it and not because it is expected of you.
Granted this is a fine line to tread and certainly I have gotten into more than a fair share of hot water trying to hold to that line. But for what it is worth I like to think my word counts for something when I say something about someone. It has more weight because I do not throw away compliments as if they were confetti.
If there are kind, if they are generous, if they look sexy, sound sexy, dress well etc.. It all means so much more if it is genuine and not just words after all. Quite often I think the most abused word is love though.
Well that is sorta what I think anyways. Does CC give an incorrect self image? Perhaps.. but it can also help build up confidence and pride in oneself and ones appearance. Now that can not be a bad thing surely? Well not if you like confident beautiful women it is not.. which I prefer myself :) There are always people who would like meek subservient girls and quite often they are there in the real world getting abused in a domestic environment as well :(
Well.. snuff said.. :)

RE: Does CC give a host an incorrect self image?
I am relatively new to this Forum, but I quite agree with, Kaz, for whenever I come upon that rare thread in which there is something being discussed with more depth than the usual protocol of one or two sentence quips, The Naked Truth is usually among the discussants, as are Dogorman, Nadeen, with occasional appearances by Intellectual and Professor---CC Scholar in Residence and Distinguished Professor of Cyber Psychology, and, of course, you Kaz. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with the usual protocol; it is what it is. It’s simply refreshing to find a thread with more extended and thoughtful exchanges. So, kudos to you TNT. You help make the case for the ‘All Boats Rise’ theory, even though, sadly, the empirical evidence is in favor of the ‘Lowest Common Denominator’ theory.
“The Naked Truth.” How fitting a screen name for the "voice of reason," since it would seem the "naked truth" is at the foundation of any well reasoned argument or theory. Through reason we probe beyond mere appearances in an effort to arrive at the bedrock of unassailable truth about the nature of a thing or quality. It is in our nature to want to understand our experience and the world around us. Even things that are often regarded as entirely relative, such as beauty, do not escape this tendency to grasp the essence of the thing. While it may be true that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ and ‘with taste there is no quarreling,’ it his not stopped philosophers from attempting to define it or putting forth a standard by which to measure it. Perhaps this is what the American Poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay, had in mind when she wrote, “Euclid alone looked on beauty bare.”
Regarding Professor’s original question, my first reaction is to say that CC does not “give” anyone anything as such. But perhaps the professor meant, what does the experience of being here do to a host’s self-image. In any case, it is scarcely deniable that being here in any capacity (host or guest) must have some effect or influence. The question is what kind and to what extent. The Professor asks, rhetorically I assume, if this experience gives hosts an “incorrect” self-image by reason of being showered with compliments and constantly being told they are beautiful, when this stands in contrast to what they would experience in the “real” world—an idea we all take for granted, but the meaning of which in-and-of itself is not altogether clear. But for now, let’s keep it simple and accept the distinction.
I think the answer to the Professor’s question depends largely upon the host herself. Those who have a firm sense of who they are will be affected less than those who do not. Those who are deeply affected by what others think, say and do, are more likely to be affected. So, it is important to remember that those whose egos are easily inflated by compliments will be just as easily deflated by insults. And from what hosts tell be, the latter are in greater abundance here. Therefore, the danger of an “incorrect self-image”, it seems to me, is more likely to occur from insults than compliments.
In sum, my answer to the original question is: 1) CC does not “give” any sort of self-image, but provides the medium by which a host’s sense of herself is affected. 2) Everyone here—hosts and guests---is affected, in different ways and to a different extent. 3) The extent to which a person is affected depends upon that individual’s sense of herself, but an “incorrect self-image” is more likely to occur from insults than compliments.

It depend on who will tell me that :)! If the guy is as fussy as u, professor, i never believe to any of his words!!! A genuine woman allways can feel the genuine words of a real man by intuition. If u have some brains in yr head u can reach it for yrself!!!

Iguana's stubborn erection to get the chop
ANTWERP, Belgium (Reuters) - Mozart, an iguana with an erection that has
lasted for over a week, will have his penis amputated in the next couple
of days. Veterinarians at Antwerp's Aquatopia had sought to treat the
animal's problem, but decided removal was the only solution because of the
risk of infection. The good news for Mozart and his mates is that male
iguanas have two penises.

Something enlightening to read after this weeks events!! For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.
At a recent Computer Expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics (and I just love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash........Twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again, because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.

RE: god!!im depressed!!
Girl,this ain`t about being beautiful. Have self-confidence,don`t put yourself down so easy,have the courage to smile even when things go wrong,it could always be worse.
And btw,if you aim for people to compliment your looks (which is most of the times superficial),you won`t see the ones who like you for who you truly are.

RE: god!!im depressed!!
Plain fact. If you are old, fat, ugly, with a bad personality, awful English, lousy pics, etc. then most members are going to pass you by. If that wanted that experience they would just go wake up their wives. There are many girls here who should really look for other work. There is not that big of a market for men who like average to below average looking girls. So either give free videos and hope for some scraps or move on. You are crowding the listings.
RE: god!!im depressed!!
well dont know u, but my guess is, u are either :
A ...in bad mood
B... just had fight with bf
C...that time of month
D....customer pissed u off
if any of the above is true, and u just want to talk, shoot me email...cause u know me, and i dont know how to judge u yet....hehe

RE: god!!im depressed!!
Sure, that was a gratuitously cruel remark; completely uncalled for. What do you gain by being so uncharitable? You don't have to give the woman your business, but you ought to at least have some regard for her dignity as a human being. Just because you are the buyer of services here, does not give you a license to treat the hosts like so much dispensable chattel. By dehumanizing others you only dehumanize yourself.
RE: god!!im depressed!!
Dont believe those who never saw me in real life :D....Once i showed my non-adult pics to the one of my relatives. She couldn't believe that's me! =)) .... because I do look average in real life and the girls from my ex studio can confirm that :P (ask kittythebest, xinessax, violetka, galaxylovesu -they know me personally :P)
I really think it depends on cam settings, background and good make up.
There are many CC hosts who look like movie stars and top models, but in life they look average and only few of them are real beauties :)

Buonapartes. But I warn you, if you don't tell me that this means war,
if you still try to defend the infamies and horrors perpetrated by
that Antichrist--I really believe he is Antichrist--I will have
nothing more to do with you and you are no longer my friend, no longer
my 'faithful slave,' as you call yourself! But how do you do? I see
I have frightened you--sit down and tell me all the news."
It was in July, 1805, and the speaker was the well-known Anna
Pavlovna Scherer, maid of honor and favorite of the Empress Marya
Fedorovna. With these words she greeted Prince Vasili Kuragin, a man
of high rank and importance, who was the first to arrive at her
reception. Anna Pavlovna had had a cough for some days. She was, as
she said, suffering from la grippe; grippe being then a new word in
St. Petersburg, used only by the elite.

Но я предупреждаю вас, если вы не скажите мне, что это означает войну, Вам все еще пытаются защитить недостойных и ужасов, что антихриста -- Я действительно считаю, что он антихриста -- Я буду не имеют ничего общего с вами, и вы больше не мой друг, н ° дольше моего "верность раба", как вы называете себя!

С этими словами она встречали князя Василия Kuragin, человеком высокого ранга и значения, кто был первым прибыть на ее получение. Анна Павловна имела кашель в течение нескольких дней. Ей, как она говорит, страданиями от ла грипп; Грипп то время новое слово в Санкт-Петербурге пользуется только элита.

RE: Google Translation Function Request
I can't believe the second English version is the result of a double-translation. If it truly is then the Russian must be perfect.
RE: Google Translation Function Request
Well the translation rules are symetric but I wanted to see if the russian makes sense to native speakers......................
RE: Google Translation Function Request
well....ok, i'll try to answer. The translation definitely isn't perfect. It's also not an easy text. And there about 50% of it is quite understandable or even exact. But as for all the rest, it's just meaningless :( Let's go through the translated text in russian:
"Ну, князь, так Генуе и Лукке сейчас только с семьей имуществом Buonapartes." - meaning is lost and nothing is clear.
"Но я предупреждаю вас, если вы не скажите мне, что это означает войну, Вам все еще пытаются защитить недостойных и ужасов, что антихриста..." - the first part was translated perfect. The second one (after "war") is meaningless, it doesnt include "perpetrated by" and has other mistakes.
"...Я действительно считаю, что он антихриста -- Я буду не имеют ничего общего с вами, и вы больше не мой друг..." - quite understandable, but with mistakes.
"...н ° дольше моего "верность раба" - meaningless 100%
"...как вы называете себя! " - perfect
"Но как поживаете? Я вижу, я вас пугают -- сесть и рассказать мне все новости." -- i would say u may get it if u ain't a total fool :D
and so on...
now compare with the original:
"Ну, князь, Генуя и Лукка - поместья фамилии Бонапарте. Нет, я вам вперед говорю, если вы мне не скажете, что у нас война, если вы еще позволите себе защищать все гадости, все ужасы этого Антихриста (право, я верю, что он Антихрист), -- я вас больше не знаю, вы уж не друг мой, вы уж не мой верный раб, как вы говорите. Ну, здравствуйте, здравствуйте. Я вижу, что я вас пугаю, садитесь и рассказывайте.
Так говорила в июле 1805 года известная Анна Павловна Шерер, фрейлина и приближенная императрицы Марии Фердоровны, встречая важного и чиновного князя Василия, первого приехавшего на ее вечер. Анна Павловна кашляла несколько дней, у нее был грипп, как она говорила (грипп был тогда новое слово, употреблявшееся только редкими)."
Make conclusions :D

Thank you Nadeen............you are always the supreme lady of CCland. This is what I was afraid of since machine translation gives you an idea of the content but has many dead ends too from what I have seen in past products.
Looks like I'll have to take a formal language course and use google for a few laughs to send to rus.....................thx again for the serious answer.

RE: Google Translation Function Request
Is Altavista/babelfish any better with Russian ? It works great for my Mexican gardener lol
RE: Google Translation Function Request
An interesting exercise, dogorman. I have limited experience with these translation programs, but I lived in France for a couple of years and one of my colleagues had such a program and some of the translations were a real hoot. In fact, from this site I remember a host telling me her computer program translated "pvt." as "Pressure, Volume, Temperature." lol! Yet another host, trying to explain she had done significant damage to her brain stem in a childhood accident, told me, "My brain has no floor." lol! And language is so subtly nuanced, I would be astonished if any program could render an excellent translation.
Good luck with the Russian. I taught myself some very basic Russian before visiting there in '98. It's a challenging language. I'm nearly fluent in French and studied a bit of German, but this Slavic tongue proved more difficult, in part because, unlike Germanic & Romance languages, there are fewer cognates with English. Plus, I understand from those who have made a serious study of it, the language is incredibly nuanced. One friend---a native German speaker, but also fluent in French, English and Russian---told me she had been studying Russian for ten years and she still had difficulty reading Pushkin. By comparison, she could read French poets with good facility and understanding after only 2-3 years of study.
Learning any foreign language is rewarding. It gives us a different lens with which to see the world. As the French say,”Apprendre une langue est vivre de nouveau." (To learn a language is to live anew.) And the Germans have a wonderful expression which translates, "He who does not know a second language, knows nothing of his own." How true! Bon courage Dogorman!

NADEEN and XYOURDREAMX are two of my favorite hosts.
I know of a number of girls who left for many different reasons, but making more money in a non-host career is not the reason. Adn I know members who have left as well.
It is not CC that is the addiction as much as it's the net itself. So it's quite possible to re-direct focus into another kind of site.

RE: Really Positive
wow--have i got the positive stories to tell you-cool--where do i begin, first let me get a dink a calm my nerves
RE: Really Positive
Well it is not often that a request for positive things is made so politely so I might just pad this space because of it.
For the record, I know quite a few hosts who went on to have successful non-cc careers, including a PR events manager, a legal secretary, a clothes designer and one who runs her own language school. Not one went on to become movie actresses or s model ;)
I know of at least 5 hosts who are happily married with people they met on CC, or who built up a relationship with them here. Of those I know of two who have children and are settling down into a nice family lifestyle. The majority of hosts left their country to be where they are now, but a few have returned with their partners to start new business ventures, buy a second home, be closer to the in-laws etc etc.
So do positive things happen on CC? For sure. But chances are you will not get anybody really talking about it because the most successful relationships exist beyond CC. And time talking about it here is wasted for the most part. But yes.. good things do happen. You just need to balance that with all the bad things that can happen on CC too.
Just my thoughts...

RE: Photos!
i think they both are great... all depends on the poze, the background and many other things. i have always been a big fan of B&W, but have also seen some color photos both here and outside of cc that just never would have had the impact if they had been shot in B&W.
Guess my simple answer is both :P

I prefer a mix. Color, b/w, indoor, outdoor, clothed, unclothed. portraits, full-body, etc, Variety is the spice of life. ;)

if your doing non-adult photos-black and white are better--if doing nudity-color photos are excellant-cool---good luck
RE: Is it good or bad?
many famous and rich people have found that ANY publicity (good or bad) is helpful in furthering thier enrichment goals. these days it seems that BAD publicity is the most effective in our jaded world.
RE: Is it good or bad?
In my opinion, it is bad. If a chathost is "famous" because she is frequently in community chat, it means she is not in video, which is really the whole point of working as a chathost. But everyone is different... only you decide what is good or bad.
RE: Is it good or bad?
If the fame brings you more money then I would say it was good. Ignore the negative posts about you on the forums. Take the money while you can and then when you leave this place never look back.
I know it is easier said than done but the guys who post negative things about you really aren't worth spending any time worrying over.

I hear you. It reminds me of the story of the story about Churchill and the woman (forget her name) who was his ever-present gadfly in their political circle.
