dealing with quiet rooms

[ScarletRaven]

Jups idea is fantastic, but last night the one thing to spark conversation was me saying random shit like "Zombies, sure are pesky little fuckers aren't they" & then I mumbled something about a three some with 6 midgets (some what of a math joke since their "half people", har har)

I'm lame though.

Totally off-topic & random but I fraking love your MFC profile. It's so cute/awesome/fun!
I feel boring now. rofl.

Anyway, I also need to learn how to better deal with a slow room, so I'll definitely be watching this thread. @_@

WOW, I love your profile too!! I suck at profiles for some reason and get too fed up to learn more.

Slow rooms suck! One time I just got out a book of erotica and told them I was just going to read a little to get our minds going. It worked and one guy actually tipped me to keep reading!

This is all great in theory, BUT I think the issue is more that girls are chatting and being vocal and they still don't get any response.

It kinda gets to the point where you say WTF else can I do?

Even when I'm in a quiet room and I know the model wants people to talk, I feel anxious about being the first one. The thoughts in my head are like "I should say something. What if it's stupid? What if no one else reponds? What if she starts giving me the hard sell? etc."

So in the case of no premiums responding to you, open up the chat to basics/guests and pick and choose things to expand on from what they are saying. If that isn't working, maybe open up a new browser, go into your room, and pretend to be a member and start chatting. Anything to get the ball rolling. But don't have an attitude of forcing people to talk (Y'all are a bunch of boring morons). Rather, talk about interesting things that make people want to contribute.

Also, if you talk with your voice all the time, be sure to also type some stuff in the chat window. Sometimes I'll browse to a model's room but I can't tell what type of personality she has because she never types anything in the chat window. Ideally there should be enough messages from you in the chat window that a new visitor can get the feel of the conversation up to that point and immediately join in.

Another idea... Look at the profiles of the members in your room and see what they are interested in. Guys list their hobbies, have pics of their rides, list which music they like, etc. Don't reference that info directly (e.g. JoeMember, I see you like motorcycles). Rather, start discussions which are about those things (e.g. I saw this awesome motorocycle today and now I want to get one). This way you are creating topics which you know at least one member will be interested in.

This thread reminds me of an old SNL bit. A talk radio host is not getting any callers so he starts upping the crazy topics. He starts off talking about bonds and ends up with topics of communists killing puppies: Talk Back

Wow, Nick! Thank you for all the awesome thoughts

Yeah, regarding Nick saying members might be shy etc and not member's responsibility to entertain the model - a couple things.

Firstly, even if you're shy or don't want to be singled out for a hard-sell just yet if someone (the model) asks a direct question to the room in general, what part of basic manners is it for everyone to ignore her? Myself, I may not be the first to leap in and answer if I've never spoken to her before - but if the seconds drag on and there's no response I'll answer. Because it's freaking RUDE to be one of a crowd of people sitting there ignoring someone - shy or not.

Secondly, in a broad sense it IS the model who is traditionally there to entertain the member but the whole point of camming is that it's an interactive experience. A give and take. The models are real people, and you're watching them live and I don't think they're asking to be entertained just interacted with.

Jupiter, those are good points and you are right, it is our job to entertain but just like any performer the feeback is what keeps us going. When I first started on cam it was soooo hard getting used to talking to a cam where I could not hear any response and at first got very little written response. Now, I bet some of the people in my room wish they could figure out a way to shut me up! LOL

XOXO

That won't work if a model has her jurisdiction blocked to members.

Dancing a little always helps.

LoL when I get up and dance people in my room go silent. It's the worst conversation killer. :lol:

Yeah it seems anytime you do anything sexy the members eyes glaze over and they go into a Homer Simpson like drool face :roll:

If I'm ever in doubt of the consciousness of my audience, I usually just slide the longest dildo I have down my throat. I do this until one person speaks, usually with a 'Holy mother of God!' comment. This is when I stop, and suggest some tokeys for me to continue. :lol:

Fluffy, you have to admit, that is a sight to behold and not many can do that as easy as you appear to do it.
