Ooo! I am also interested in hearing about the other gals! I am kind of a survey-addict. I love getting surveyed at the mall and stuff. I can also be a bit long winded...so bear with me.
1. What are some things to consider before finalizing a decision to become an MFC model or not?
First off I always recommend reading as much as possible. This can sometimes be boring sometimes, so I'd suggest doing it during your morning coffee/breakfast/potty time, etc. The reading will help you gear up for the 'test'. It's also important to understand variables in the webcamming world. This was, and sometimes is still, my downfall. Also, coming to terms with what kind of 'show' or 'model' you want to be is important. Do you want to be cute and naughty, intelligent and seductive, etc? Knowing what kind of things you like can set up an 'atmosphere' and draw people toward you who enjoy that atmosphere. Other things to consider is what happens when the money starts going south instead of the desired north? This can happen to anyone at any time for any reason. It is smart to have plans and maybe even a 'buffer' of money in the bank that will get you by for at least a few months (we're talking staples here) just in case. Consider that people are cruel, shifty, and mean and will try any and all methods to break you, make you cry, or get free stuff. Then there are nice people who would never do that to you! Learn how to separate them quickly. It helps to have a forum like this because there is usually at least one girl who has experienced the same as you have and can be a total help. I would be in a lot more trouble if I didn't have these archives of knowledge to help guide me
2. Would there be any instance in which I should NOT become an MFC model?
This is one of those variables. You can not predict every single outcome. I can think of an endless list of why one shouldn't become a cam model, but also why they should. Answers can come with experience. I guess if you have serious stalker issues then maybe not then?
3. What's the best thing about being an MFC model and what do you love most about it?
The BEST thing is I get to share and explore my sexual side with any number of people! I have always been kind of an internet person. I met my mansicle online, I have always been involved in some sort of 'community' online, and I pretty much grew up online. MFC has a great token system that I love and can be a pretty laid back place. I used to work for another site where the rules/system were too strict and I never had fun. I
do have fun here. It also opens people up to interacting with me. I'm kind of a social weirdo and appreciate people who are the same. I meet a lot of interesting folks here!
4. How do you truly feel about doing it?
I truly feel good about doing it. I have always wanted to share myself in this way to the outside world, but in some small way the internet realm seems more accepting of who I am. It is also soooo much easier to just ban/ignore/counter troll online than offline. If I didn't want to do this, I wouldn't be. Not to rub my ego all over everyone's eyeballs, but I fancy myself a pretty smart girl. I am sure I have the world at my feet and these are the waters I choose to dip them in.
5. Do you ever worry about people you know seeing you?
Sure! But I accept that as a potential drawback. When I worked with animals I did indeed worry about them biting my face off. Everything has its dangers and it is up to me to find them and either annihilate or come to terms with them. I had to come to terms with the fact that I might get bit by an animal, but I sure did take the preventative measures against getting bitten!
6. What part of it don't you like?
I don't like slow days. Sometimes, no matter what you do...even a free show, you will still not be on the level of interest as football. Gotta take it in stride and keep your wits about you.
7. I've seen all the positives, so what I'm basically looking for are: what are any negatives to being a cam girl?
A few are: You might get caught, you might get a creepy stalker, you might not make it the way you think you're gonna make it, you might get your feelings hurt really bad, you might...anything! I guess it just depends how you weight it all.
8. Do you keep your real life(real name, personality, etc) separate from your work?
Yes and no. I am genuine when I get online except that any negativity I have I try to squish it down. If I'm in a bad mood, I try not to show it AND make very valid attempts to get into a good mood. Sometimes I purposely go online just to get into a good mood. However, there needs to be a separation. I do this no matter where I have worked because I used to be an open book. My policy was 'If I'm too ashamed to talk about it, I shouldn't be doing it' Which was a total fail on my part. Learned from it, and now I know where I'd like to draw the line.
9. What do you consider to be more successful versus less successful? I know each girl is different and each individual seeks different things, but is friendlier better/worse, bossier better/worse, etc?
There is no black/white dichotomy to being a successful cam model. Everyone has different tastes AND those tastes are constantly changing (which I realize you pointed out). For me, I just go with how I am- I am a goofball, I say/do stupid things constantly, I am sexy in that girlish, cutesy, almost kind of raunchy way, I try to be stern when necessary but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt (aka I'm pretty friggin laid back/nice), I can be a little impatient (I like to be kept busy!), and I enjoy the novelty in things! Does this make me successful? Fuck if I know. All I know is I am comfortable doing what I am doing and the hope that other people enjoy this is high. I've just kind of started on MFC, too, so I can't really say one way or the other. My interpretation of the high cam score models is: novelty, friendly, active, confident, engaging, lovely. That is just how I see my favorite toppers, so in a way I try to emulate those characteristics...but the thing is is that they're my favorite because that's my taste, and because it's my taste it's also kind of part of my personality, so I guess I am kind of already there?
A better answer would be: I don't know.
....ok. So I'm just gonna punch it and go. I keep re-reading, wondering what is a worthwhile answer, but that is a question for the ages.
