Every time one goes through photos that people upload on their profiles, you are always left with the element of wonder “Is she real? Damn! She has such a perfect picture on her profile.�? Well my friends, wonder no more. Introducing the webcam! now we can look right into someone’s eyes and get a more realistic view of who we are chatting with.
I remember a pal of mine used to dress up for her webcam dates with her now husband. They virtually (and I do mean virtually) set it up just like a real date. The two of them opened a bottle of wine, ate the same food and chatted the night away..all through their headphones and mics. For them it was like a real date and they established an amazing connection. Just because they could see each other and hear each other and be able to see each other's reaction to it. When they finally got to meet in person, it was as iff the two of them had known each other for ages and that this wasn't the "first" date. In fact, he proposed to her on their first "real life" encounter....and she said Yes!
Now don’t get me started on the whole array of options that adult webcam dating sites offer. If you want to find a friend, flirt a little, have some hot, steamy sexual encounters or find the love of your life as my pal did, all these things are not only possible. You get more informed decision on persons of interest when we can see them face to face. And how far you want to go with your potential partner is left up to you. It will be much more intimate and real as opposed to going through straight text on the screen and their best "studio" shot to look at all night while your chatting.
Do you think webcams simplify our search for love or whatever it is we are looking to get out of online dating? Have you ever had a virtual date with someone you met on this site? If you haven't you should try it! You never know who you’ll meet on the other side of the webcam!

I LOVE the webcam, Its sooo flattering!! I use it frequently just to chat with friends, family, and the occasional guy. Gives a feeling of realism when you cant be in the same location as the person you talking too. Its a matter of being tasteful in using it. I most definitely DO NOT "prepare myself" to get on webcam. What you see is what you get in real life, a girl that only wears lipgloss and smiles alot.

I agree, it makes people look mungaloid, not to be mean but there's similarity to the pics and a jumbled robotic image of someone on the cam.

Webcam is a nice way to see if people really look like their pics and it's always nice to put a name with the face - but I don't think I'd use it to have an actual "date". That sounds as unappealing as cyber sex.

Sounds like a nice date with the right person. There are some freaks out there to avoid though.

I am now open to the idea of "meeting" on the webcam...and I thought the "date" you mentioned was really cute...and takes a lil more effort..especially if you want to see romance someone long distance..thats a interesting idea!..thanks Ria
