I have been going round in circles on live sec cams and could use some real experience. What I care about with live sec cams is the hours-to-dates ratio more than anything else.

Most of my experience is with video chat sites, which may be why I am stuck. The pattern I see with live sec cams is that actually getting anywhere is fine early and degrades as you go.

The parts of live sec cams I keep getting stuck on:

  • Screenshot anything odd on live sec cams before you report it — actually getting anywhere claims need evidence
  • Write a first message that references their profile, not your own — live sec cams rewards it
  • Block early and report often on live sec cams — it trains the feed faster than anything
  • Photos with other people in them do worse on live sec cams than you would guess

Tell me what actually happened with live sec cams rather than what should happen.

Ryan Warren is right about one part of live sec cams: different experience on live sec cams, where actually getting anywhere turned out to be manageable once I changed how I used it. Honestly, the time it costs was less of a problem on live sec cams than the sheer time it ate.

I keep two accounts running to compare the return on the hours across live video rooms, and live sec cams sits mid-table. For the crowd on this board, the live sec cams experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else.

One smaller option worth comparing on the hours-to-dates ratio is Datedesire — different pool, same free messaging as live sec cams.

This matches what I found with live sec cams, where the hours-to-dates ratio is exactly where it falls down.

@Wyatt makes a fair point about live sec cams, but this matches what I found with live sec cams, where the hours-to-dates ratio is exactly where it falls down. The thing people underrate about live sec cams is how much the time it costs depends on your own city. There is no version of live sec cams where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something.

What changed my results on live sec cams was treating the effort-to-result ratio as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. The thing people underrate about live sec cams is how much actually getting anywhere depends on your own city. Honestly, the payoff was less of a problem on live sec cams than the sheer time it ate. Take that as one data point on live sec cams rather than a recommendation.

Things I wish somebody had told me about live sec cams:

  • Message within a day of matching — on live sec cams that window closes fast
  • Give live sec cams a fortnight of daily use before calling the return on the hours a dealbreaker
  • Set the radius wider than feels comfortable if the live sec cams pool near you is thin

My live sec cams baseline these days is Datedesire, mostly because the effort-to-result ratio is measurable there.

Grace Long is right about one part of live sec cams: yes, and I would add that the payoff on live sec cams gets worse the longer you stay. What changed my results on live sec cams was treating the payoff as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem.

I judge live sec cams by one thing now: whether the hours-to-dates ratio improves or worsens once you are past the novelty. The pattern I see with live sec cams is that the effort-to-result ratio is fine early and degrades as you go.

I would argue the opposite on live sec cams: the effort-to-result ratio is the one thing it handles better than live video rooms.

There is no version of live sec cams where the return on the hours sorts itself out without you doing something.

For contrast with live sec cams I would look at Datelink; the free tier there behaves differently.

I read Avery Stewart's reply on live sec cams and this matches what I found with live sec cams, where the return on the hours is exactly where it falls down.

Nobody warns you that the return on the hours on live sec cams scales with how many people are online at your hours. For most of us posting here, the live sec cams experience lives or dies on the effort-to-result ratio and almost nothing else.

Seconding this, because on live sec cams the honest answer is that the payoff varies enormously by area. You can work around the payoff on live sec cams, but you have to be deliberate about it.
