Have you ever used Omegle? - wow!

I came across Omegle- a site that connects you to a completely random stranger for a quick chat.

So I thought- aw wow what a cool idea. Can speak to anyone around the world about anything. That will amuse me for 20 mins.

Well no. It is literally 99% males wanting to talk dirty. Or swap Snapchat usernames. Proper creeps!!

I managed to chat with one girl from Germany about our shared love of Harry Potter and wine!!

Has anyone ever used it?

No, it sounds awful!

TheVolturi · 05/02/2021 20:52

There is nothing nice and innocent any more because there are a lot of pervy men!

SingingLoud · 05/02/2021 20:55

Sounds like a paedophile's dream.

PegasusReturns · 05/02/2021 20:56

It wouldn’t have occurred to me that it would be anything other than creepy men behaving disgustingly.

I tried a chat room once ...just for a look. I signed up with a female name and it started pinging straight away. Dick pics - dozens of them.
I left and signed in with a male name...no responses at all.
The sites are full of dirtbags.

Sounds like chat roulette which was similar

Milomonster · 05/02/2021 21:03

Dialup is your friend if you want to chat to strangers around the world. You get connected to random people and it’s not pervy at all. Check out their Twitter. There was a Guardian article about it too.

DrinkRefilled · 05/02/2021 21:05

I’ll have a look @Milomonster

Yeah it’s such a shame Pervy boys and men ruin things like this. What sad little lives.
Back in the late 90s I love chat rooms, they were much more innocent.

Oh there were pervy men back in ye olden times of the 90s. I used to frequent MOOs and MUDs and ended up talking to more gross men than I'd bargained for as a teen.

Warnings going around about this site - links to tiktok and inappropriate for kids.

HarleyQuinn21 · 05/02/2021 21:16

Omegle has been around for a long time. My friends and I used to go on it as teenagers and honestly it's 99% of men just wanking or having their penises on screen. Hardly any genuine people on there.

TitusPullo · 05/02/2021 21:21

My first thought was of course it is just pervy men. I then thought but why do I almost just accept that it will be. They ruin everything. I am really fed up of men today after watching that parish council Zoom call. And I know I will get a NAMALT thrown at me, I know, I live with a lovely one, but honestly the vast majority of men I have come across do not respect women on the same level as men.

DrinkRefilled · 05/02/2021 21:22

I had never heard of it until today.
I didn’t do the camera version. I’m sure that will have been 100 times worse

A friend showed it to me, within 3 minutes we had found a group of young girls (12 at the most but more like 10/11) and a man wanking

SpilltheTea · 05/02/2021 21:53

Only when I was about 11 and all I saw luckily were similarly aged children. It's a pervs paradise.

I started playing online scrabble a week ago. So far I’ve blocked 6 blokes who want to know if I “just fancy a chat”. Always 10 years older than me with a Paul Hollywood-esque profile pic.

It really pisses me off when men use these sites for their shit cyber sex approaches. Play your tiles and fuck off mate.
