most girls who aren't up front immediately about it aren't doing it for the sake of lying, they're doing it for their own safety.

I know whenever I haven't been upfront with a guy it's because I worry about my safety.
I don't understand this mind set. Is it just fear of being "outed" as a camgirl? How could you even have fun on a date if you had to lie to feel safe? Is it camgirl paranoia spilling into real life? Are some embarrassed or ashamed of sex work? Is it just fear that others won't be accepting? Seems unhealthy for work life to be affecting real life so drastically.
Random but what a waste cheating online would be if you're one of the guys that considers anything done online cheating. Hook up with a old friend? Go out to a bar? Get a escort? Naw wackin off on the internet.
I kinda wondered this too. I get that a model might not wanna reveal too much about themselves to members out of fear of their safety. What if they track you down in real life? What if they find out where you live? etc.
But if you're out on a date with someone, they've already met you. They already know what city you live in and where to find you. They probably already have your phone number, etc.
It may well be me being completely naive but I don't see where the safety risk comes into play when a date finds out that you're a cam girl. Assuming they find you online and watch your cam, they're not going to discover anything about you that could put you at risk that they don't already know (where you live, etc.).
Also, I'd have thought it would benefit both parties for this kind of thing to come out straight away. While I still see no reason for it to be an issue, I guess some doods really are insecure and some might not be able to deal with their prospective girlfriend being a cam girl. Would it not be better for all concerned if that guy finds out straight away so that you can part ways before anyone gets attached and feelings get hurt when the camming transpires to be a problem? :twocents-02cents:
A lot of girls who have their real information leaked on the internet have it done by people that they know in real life. That is a fact. It happens more often that way than by some rando sleuthing around the internet. I can't even count the girls that I know of who have had their real names and locations and even phone numbers dropped in threads on various forums by people they know irl who decide to be dickheads.
The risk IS that they have all of your real information. It would not take much work for them to take to the internet and make your life a total and complete hell.
It may seem like a stretch for someone to be this crazy, but try signing up to OKCupid or some shit with a female profile and you will clearly see that it is a very real issue.
That being said, I think it's pretty easy to judge someones stance on this and whether or not they're the type of person whose going to actively try to ruin your life. If after a few dates I still don't feel comfortable with telling them, that's a pretty clear indicator that they're just not a good fit for me in general.
IMO, you should wait until you have a pretty good idea of what kind of person they are, but not wait so long that you're actually in a committed relationship with said person.
