Pet Peeve 2: More is Always Better

In "How I Met Your Mother", there is a fantastic episode where Barney posits a new "rule"....New Is Always Better.

What follows is a hilarious attempt by Barney to prove this to Ted, going through Guns'n'Rose, Star Wars, and Scotch. If you haven't seen it, because you have been living under a rock, or recently had your sense of humor surgically amputated, here it is:

When I saw that, it reminded me of a rule that some customers have apparently come up with "More is Always Better". That the worth of a camgirl is defined by the sheer number of things that she will do, or the extremity of those things.

It seems to absolutely baffle these guys when they see a camgirl doing well, getting tipped, and doing...."nothing". Or more accurately, sitting in her undies interacting and entertaining her room. This is utterly insane! How is it that she is doing better than so-and-so ten pages back? She just fired a basketball out of her ass, and got a BASKET!

What do you mean, you don't do anal/deepthroat/fisting/peeing/vomit/scat/standing on your head and sticking a hairdryer up your ass? How on EARTH do you make money?

Here's the thing - More ISN'T always better. The girl who is blowing your mind, being tipped for "just chatting"? I'll bet that she has spent months building up a clientele that love her. Making personal connections, remembering specific customers, letting them into her life (by talking about the real her, not just giggling and wiggling), making sure that she is on and available every single day...she's probably got a helluva personality, and guys are tipping her because she is entertaining them, and making them happy.

When guys ask me "what I do that makes it better than just watching porn", the answer is very simple. I interact. Depending on what you want, I might get to know you, or I might just be able to follow your instructions to the letter. I'll moan out your name, and I will actually be saying it to you. In real time.

It's not about how many things a girl can do, or how extreme she can get. It it about how good she is at what she does. No point in watching someone who can "do more" but does it badly. Or someone who is willing to roleplay the most taboo topics, if she can't actually play a role worth a damn.

To put it another way: Quality over Quantity.
