Hi all
I am kind of thinking of giving up with the cam rooms. Good as the idea is, it seems really not to be geared up for, nor appreciated by, any couples or single women looking for single guys. I'm fairly certain I've never pushed in, nor being overbearing. On the contrary I'm always aware of being careful to introduce myself after waiting and viewing for a few minutes, and then in terms of a general greeting. In extremis, I've gone as far as asking if any real humans are online :-). And almost invariably I've been met with a wall of silence.
Maybe there are no real humans in the cam rooms, but if there are, a simple "hello" would be a greatly comforting thing to see. Or am I missing something really fundamental here?
Perhaps this is a general thing for single guys? There appear to be some guys who have penetrated the inner sanctum, but most haven't. The question is, if so, how?

Having just seen you come into a room - Why am I not surprised!!!
:doh:
I've been in quite a few times and always get the same response. OK I'm not very regular (mainly as it's never a a warm respone) but I've tried fairly regularly over the last couple of years :-(
To quote:-
"Afternoon all oh no is this another room full of bots?"
is hardly a good start...... nor a good way to built a rapport with others in the room.
Ah, OK, maybe I was a bit lacking in expressing myself correctly, but that was just a sign-off after a lot of failed starts in other rooms. I was referencing that after a series of "Hellos" and "Afternoon room"'s, many with the same inhabitants. I can fully understand why CPLs and single women get the limelight, but it would be nice to be greeted as a fellow human being, albeit just a single guy. I've always tried to be very general in introducing myself to rooms. All I was trying to highlight was that despite multitudinous polite introductions and conversational generalisations over the last months, all I have received is silence.
Compared to other camchat sites I am a member of, this is, by a long way, the least responsive, and as it is the most local that makes it the more disappointing :-(
Hiya. Yes, have actually done that, and as you say they are very slow. Had some positive, but very little feedback there too. The thing is, I think that single guys have very little luck on here. When I was part of a couple, a couple of years agao, it was so different... couldn't keep all of them away :-) Now, as a single guy, I find the best responses seem to be from the USA and Germany. And I'm kind of curious as to why that is
Ok, I am absorbing all you say and will give that a go :-) Hopefully see some familiar names in the future and get some "Hi"'s in reply :-)
I don't see much difference in real life meeting new people and in a chatroom to be honest.
You don't walk into a pub every couple of months and expect everyone that is in there every day to talk to you straight away.
You don't start work at a new office and expect everyone to change their routine or stop talking to their circle of friends to talk to you.
Its like most things, it takes time and effort but it can be worth it in the end :thumbup:
