Sorry to hear you had a bad experience Bandog. I have seen some models just ban guys who start conversations with "I have no tokens..." so even though she came across as a tad rude, maybe there was still a silver lining in there somewhere. Also, it's easy to forget that even when the main chat seems to have dried up, with nothing but tumbleweed and crickets goin' on, the model may be in PM chat with other members in the background... or even on another site altogether!
From my perspective I like to look at the conversation thing this way. Visualise the time the model can give to everyone in the room in the form of a cake. If I get some attention and a conversation gets started then I am receiving a slice of that cake and I think it's only fair to tip for that slice of time and attention... so I do. Its just my personal approach. I also hate to arrive in a room tokenless... I know from past experience, that this can irk many girls, so I always load up with some tokens prior to logging in, as I've found that greeting a model with a cheery "hi" and a tip, is a good icebreaker.
Wow, I wish ALL (or most) of the guys were as smart & kind as you LOL - Hugs
You get that our time is precious & it doesn't matter if we don't appear to be talking within the room, you never know who I'm talking to outside the room
Not to mention how many times a guy thinks that me talking to him should be free.
In the main chat area of CB yes, I'll talk no problem AND I talk to greys as I love some of my greys. And girls remember that light blues are often greys with one token in their till.
This is assuming I'm not talking privately to someone else which takes precedence. But as I mentioned before, sometimes when I have started talking to someone, other guys leave as they don't want to hear conversations that have any substance to them.
In SM I generally won't, b/c I figure why is he in there if he doesn't want a pvt? I'll talk for a few minutes sure, but it's different in there b/c of the fact that guys can't see what other guys are saying which I do NOT like. It makes it seem very impersonal & if I talk to one guy, usually the other guys leave. They don't even understand there are others in the room & they get confused & leave.
Most times they have the money (in SM) & are looking for a pvt, but then there's ones who play games & are trying to get freebies.
I've even had to give ultimatums to guys after they've come into my room 3 different times (different dates) & they still haven't taken me pvt.
If you want to talk to me, take me pvt, we can talk all night
