I was one of those that said "if I have to put on lipstick to chat on the computer, you can be sure I will never get a cam! " ....Well, I got a cam, hehe.....It all started a couple of weeks ago when I joined POF.
What a great site, I have met lots of men online and have been on 2 dates! Most of the matches on POF want to voice chat on Yahoo or Msn right after contact....POF's instant message system is awful. I have voice chat so talking was easy, but most of the men had cams.... I was able to watch them smile and all the facial expressions that make it easier to get to know someone. Well, I went out cam shopping and spent a whopping $25 and got one, quick download and some fun positioning the cam properly. Had to pay attention to what all was visible on the cam, no dirty dishes or laundry thrown everywhere, put on lipstick, and I was good to go! All dressed up and I was frozen as to who would be the first to see me, so I chickened out and IM'd my son, my daughter in law was there turned on her cam too. We had a wonderful chat and I loved watching her respond to me....all the tiny details that you only see when 2 people are together. After that, I cam frequently and enjoy it immensely, especially fun with other POFers...always have my lipstick near too. ha ha ha I would be interested to hear if anyone else has tried camming . I certainly encourage everyone to try it. I now see my 2 year old grand daughter every day too! :o)
