• For as long as I had my web cam, plus Skype for my video chatting needs, I've never once talked to a stranger online using said items. Back in the AIM/ICQ or chat room days, talking to strangers on the internet happened on occasion. Nowadays, not so much. However I recently got my very first video chat with a stranger, and it wasn't what I expected.

  I get an instant message on Skype, from a random girl. As she introduces herself, she says she's 24, in the Philippines, and is single. I decided to play along and told her my age, California, and married (I'm not going to leave that out now). After a little bit of small talk, she then requests us to chat using the webcam. My curiousity was definitely peaked, so I complied. Video feed comes on, I see her face, and it's actually a pretty cute girl. Then she moves away from the camera a bit, and shows me her completely nude body for about a second. Holy Crap indeed! I try to talk to her through the microphone, but she says (or claims) that she doesn't have a mic, and that we have to continue chatting by text (it looked like she was talking to somebody off camera). She then asks me to go to this web site and "rate her" on her "modeling." I humor her by replying a "sure," and then she asks me if I'm actually filling up the form. I just gave her a "nope, doesn't look free" reply, as it does ask for a credit card. She reassures me that it's just for age verification purposes, and I simply told her "sorry, I'm skeptical." She gives me that puppy dog eyes look, just says "ok" then hangs up. LOL, well that was a completely unexpected experience.

  BTW, if you are wondering, yes I told my wife about this encounter. She was the first to know, and she found the whole situation hilarious.
