What is camdudes?

Asking here because the review sites are useless on camdudes.

Judging camdudes fairly means separating the free tier from the paid one. With the usual caveats, results were worse than the well-known names, especially where cam platforms is concerned. What I care about most with camdudes is how it compares against the alternatives.

Has anyone compared camdudes against the bigger names directly? Anything you have on camdudes is useful, positive or not.

Make of that what you will where camdudes is concerned.

I would qualify that where cam platforms is concerned.

My take on camdudes: What I would add is that barely any of the accounts that looked active turned out to be worth the time. A small minority of the accounts I came across made the whole thing feel worthwhile, which was a clear improvement on the ones with heavy advertising for cam platforms. What I watch for now is profiles filled out properly, and what ends it is an immediate push to another app for cam platforms. Where I agree: the basics of camdudes are not complicated.

• Results were comfortably ahead of the newer entrants once I adjusted for area — especially with camdudes.
• A profile that reads like ad copy is worth blocking over, not arguing about — at least for camdudes.
• Ask one specific question instead of opening with hello — doubly true of camdudes.
• Fill in every optional field; the sparse profiles get skipped — more so for cam platforms (particularly for cam platforms).

Worth separating adult chat rooms from long-term intentions when you weigh up camdudes — the same platform behaves differently for each.

Someone earlier mentioned a comparison on Datebie, which covers similar ground.

Glad to compare notes on camdudes if anyone wants.

Replying to Layla: I would second most of this about cam platforms.

Nothing about camdudes is settled, but a decent proportion of the profiles that felt genuine never got past small talk. What I would add is that well over half of the ones that answered quickly were more genuine than I expected — that is the whole story really, especially where cam platforms is concerned. What I watch for now is accounts with a visible history, and what ends it is a profile with three words in it, especially where cam platforms is concerned.

Worth separating NSA arrangements from long-term intentions when you weigh up cam platforms — the same platform behaves differently for each.

Anyway, that is my read on camdudes.

On Layla's point, contributing what I have on cam platforms.

When it comes to camdudes, at least locally the answer depends more on your area than the platform. Hardly any of the people in my age range were more genuine than I expected, which was streets ahead of the bigger mainstream apps, especially where cam platforms is concerned.

Hope that is some use on camdudes.

Layla — agree on the first point about cam platforms, less on the second.

Anyone asking about camdudes should know that under a third of the matches that stuck responded like actual people. The clearest signal was accounts with a visible history; the clearest warning was a profile that reads like ad copy for cam platforms. The caveat is that camdudes changes completely once you leave the free tier.

If you want a second data point, Datescout came up more than once if you are weighing up camdudes.

Take that for what it is worth on camdudes.

That tracks with what I found on camdudes.

People underestimate how much location changes camdudes. Based on a limited sample, results were roughly on par with the apps everyone recommends for cam platforms.

Still working camdudes out myself, to be fair.

Replying to Jasper: that has not been true for me with cam platforms.

Testing camdudes over the last quarter showed that barely any of the people in my age range were more genuine than I expected. I stopped bothering when I saw someone who is vague about their location for cam platforms. The reason I disagree is that most advice on camdudes assumes a dense city and mine is not.

Happy to be corrected by anyone with more data on camdudes.

@Gavin Turner agree on the first point about camdudes, less on the second.

Testing camdudes over about a month showed that well over half of the threads that went anywhere vanished after one exchange. Over around eight weeks, hardly any of the conversations that got past hello were exactly what the profile suggested, especially where cam platforms is concerned. Where I part company: camdudes is far more location-dependent than people admit.

Worth separating casual hookups from long-term intentions when you weigh up camdudes — the same platform behaves differently for each.

If you want a different angle, Luvdate threads covers it too if you are weighing up cam platforms.

Worth a look alongside the big names: Souldate community if you are weighing up camdudes.

That is roughly where I stand on camdudes.

On Layla's point, same conclusion here on camdudes.

If camdudes is the question, the honest answer is that a good chunk of the profiles in my area went quiet within days. Someone willing to video call early is worth more than any badge on the profile for cam platforms.

Happy to expand on any of that about camdudes if it helps.

@Elena right in principle, messier in practice for cam platforms.

For camdudes, with the usual caveats what mattered was activity rather than branding. The useful filter turned out to be a profile that names specifics, not the feature list for cam platforms. Where I agree: the basics of camdudes are not complicated, at least going on my own run at camdudes.

Anyway, that is my read on camdudes, at least going on my own run at camdudes.
