I have been using google voice to privately chat with providers. Any suggestions for doing the same with video. Trying to think of a creative way to keep some of my favorites afloat until we get back to normal.
Thanks.

Can you hide your phone number and identity with snapchat?

[QUOTE=WhenInVegas;4716455]Can you hide your phone number and identity with snapchat?[/QUOTE]For Snapchat you don't use your phone number to make calls, you make the video call within the app. It does require you to be "friends" with the person you want to talk to. You are able to just have a user name that you make up so whom ever you speak to won't know who you are.
All that said, like any app you have on your phone, the app and Google knows all. You have to be careful with apps that like to tell everyone in your contacts that you have installed it. Twitter for instance will make suggestions to the people in your contacts, to follow you on twitter. I assume snapchat is the same. You don't want someone coming to you and asking if you just installed Snapchat. Most in my contacts arent that savy but who knows. For this reason I do not allow the app to have access to my contacts and wind up running the app in an encrypted container with a fake google account. This blocks it from seeing my normal contacts in my phone. Also work related apps don't have access to it either. Finally I can protect all apps in it with a password the whole container off when I am home so no Icons show up should anyone get access to my phone. I have an android so I have no idea if this is possible on an apple.
If you are able to set something like this up you can use any video app, zoom, Google Duo or what ever the provider has. Never got a burner cause someone only needs to find it and ask why the hell I have a second phhone. THis allows you to have a second phone within your normal phone and everyone is none the wiser.
Wowweewow.
Thanks buddy. That is great info. The risks of installing an app on the phone is one reason I use the web based version of google voice. I know Google knows what is going as I had to link the account to a real cell phone, but as far as I can tell, running the browser in Private Mode has kept things under control. (ie I am not seeing ads for sex related topics). I am also careful to not not send explicit text messages.
I have to research the Iphone version of the android container feature. I like the sound of that.

[QUOTE=SergeG;4715733]Due to my work, I have to follow national and global events. We are currently on the European trajectory. In 24 h+ our state go in lock down with "stay home" for people. This means police will increasingly start to check travelers and their destination on the road. Although there are not going to be fines at this time for not having proof of non essential travel, you should expect this as hospital capacity becomes critical.
Lock down expectations now are for months not weeks. Europe lock down in several countries is expected to last until end of April. Not sure how this will all work out if you want to visit a critically ill relative. Probably a special permission. This is very likely coming to us.
Something else may also happens as I think about it, if the hospital spike gets really bad: LE traps for mongers and ladies. If the hospitals are indeed overrun and businesses shut down, the next step would be to prevent infection by enforcement on risky behaviors. New client outcalls traps would do that for ladies and new incall for dudes. Remember this may sound outlandish now but exponential propagation in only starting and infection spread time will compress quickly.
This is not to alarm anyone but rather help be aware of ramifications moving forward for those actives and willing to meet new people.[/QUOTE]Hopefully we'll have a vaccine in 18 mnths. The USA curves right now look steeper than Italy. Yikes.
Excellent point. Interestingly enough I had not thought of that but the provider I am working with brought that up as a concern for herself. She doesn't want clips of her on the internet somewhere. We joked about wearing bags over our heads LOL.
I have not been able to find the equivalent of a container function that you suggested for the IPhone so I am not going to install any app on my phone to make this video sex idea work. Any thoughts on a PC based solution. Ideally something that works via a browser vs downloading an app. Kind of like Google Voice but for video.
Stay safe.

The only way I have found to make this work without downloading an app on your Iphone or PC (I am sure there are others) is to use Zoom.
- Start a Private browser session.
- Create an account with a bogus email (you need the email to activate the account).
- Once activated you can start a 'meeting' from your browser.
- Zoom will try to download the application. When it tries. Cancel the download.
- Once cancelled it will give you an alternative option to download, choose that but then cancel it.
-Once you have cancelled both options, you will be be given the ability to start the meeting from the browser.
From what I can tell there is no browser history since you are in Private mode and no other digital trail that I can detect. Hoping to test t out with my provider. Once we do, I'll report back. (yes I am bored).
Later.

[b][u]EDITOR'S NOTE[/u]:[/b] [blue]This report was deleted because it contributed nothing of value and in fact constituted a complete waste of bandwidth.
The purpose of this Forum is to provide for the exchange if information between men on the subject of finding women for sex. Let's stick to the subject.[/blue]
If you know what I'm talking about, PM for details.
A few PMs with another member recently got me thinking about this topic (shoutout to CTMFC). Wanted to put these thoughts out as advice for new members and to hear opinions from old members:
There are a minority of people in the world who regularly behave like respectable adults. So many people just get away with what they can get away with. Mostly what we can do is have reasonable but firm expectations, communicate them, and be ready to move on to protect ourselves when they aren't met. Getting angry about it or looking for payback are fools' errands. Just moving on to the next is the best way to get what we're really after, but I think it's okay to let them know. Not angrily but just as a matter of fact. That you moved on and why. We can be hopeful that polite feedback will make a difference for some.
That said, we also have to deal with the reality that there just aren't a lot of providers who do this because they prefer it. They do it as a last resort because they can't keep their shit together to hold down something else. We have to be realistic and expect their behavior to reflect that even if we hope for something better. The average provider is, unfortunately and sad to say, an unreliable junkie. We're hunting for the better of the bunch, but even those are not going to be perfect. If the bad ones flake 75% and average ones flake 50%, then ones who flake "only" 25% are the good ones even if that's still a terrible rate in the "regular" world. Also bear in mind the same lack of planning and responsibility that got them where they are is the same thing you are dealing with when you try to set an appointment in advance. It should be simple for a competent, professional person, but that's not the group we're dealing with. Set your expectations accordingly.
Have standards and stick to them. Move on well before the point of frustration, to save you the time and the aggravation and also to set a general expectation we will all benefit from. Some nights it's not going to be your night. If you participate regularly, that's going to happen repeatedly. It's in the game. It's better to cut your losses than to chase a bad bet trying to recover. Don't feed any pettiness and don't accommodate bad behavior. Maybe you give them another chance another night, but pull the plug that night rather than get jerked around further.
What rules do you follow for yourselves and do you feel they are effective?

I've only had a few really bad interactions of the time-wasting or ripoff ilk (plenty of the poor service variety) but when I find myself getting frustrated or thinking about trying again or getting even, or whatever, I try to just walk away from it and say fuck it. Not always easy but I know it is the only logical thing to do. But I don't try again, as much a I might want to do so.
Wise words my friend and beautifully expressed. I would argue that your advice applies to a lot more than getting laid.
Stay safe,
Vegas.
P.S. Why aren't we seeing this level of eloquence in your reports LOL.
