Omegle.com is a new and inspiring website that is well known. Just press "Talk" on the homepage to get in touch with another user anywhere in the world. However, there may also be downsides. Many users are "trolls" - people who just try to make up stories in order to annoy others. Follow this guide to try having a real conversation with someone.
Steps
Step 1. Add the right interests
Omegle allows you to choose interests so that you can be matched with users who have similar interests to yours. Be careful though - some interests are more dangerous than others, so choose at your own risk. Religion and other controversial topics are especially chosen by trolls, extremists and people who are best avoided meeting.
If you notice that there are many trolls and bots with a certain interest, remove it and try again after a week
Step 2. Start the conversation right
Isn't it nice to start with "Age / Gender / Residence?" nor with "I'm excited!". You could say "Hi" or even "Hi, how are you doing?".
Step 3. To avoid the trolls, make it clear that you don't want to have anything to do with them
After introducing yourself, you say something like "I don't mean to be rude, but if you are excited, if you are unable to communicate, or if you really don't want to have a conversation, I ask you the courtesy to disconnect."
Step 4. Learn to recognize trolls
There are clear clues to help you unmask them. For example, sometimes at the beginning of the conversation they say random and offensive things, or more simply they say "I'm excited!". They usually write first and repeatedly, without waiting for an answer.
Step 5. Don't be afraid to disconnect
If the person you're talking to seems strange to you, just stop the conversation. Also, if the interlocutor starts with "Age / Gender / Residence?", He is most likely just looking for someone to have virtual sex.
Step 6. Enjoy Omegle without the need to talk to trolls
If someone says random things, have fun with them. If it gets offensive, stop the conversation, but sometimes the best conversations are the ones that start off in the weirdest way.
Step 7. Don't be fooled by the trolls
They send you a message to warn you that Omegle has tracked your IP address, or that Omegle has classified them as harassers, and they usually end up giving false identity. They are all liars, don't be fooled.
Step 8. On Omegle you meet all kinds of people
You will come across people who seem honest, in obvious liars, in trolls, in excited people, in others who just want to have a laugh, in people who say they are on the verge of suicide, in still others who live in complete monotony, and in normal person. Learn to recognize them and you will be able to turn any conversation into a fun chat.
Advice
- Don't be offended by what they tell you. Many people try to annoy others just to make them angry, and so you will fall into their trap.
- If someone interrupts the conversation with you, don't be offended. There are usually between 20,000 and 45,000 users online a day, so you will find someone better to talk to.
- Maintain a positive attitude throughout the conversation.
- An easy way to spot outrageous people: they ask for your photo and often ask for it naked or semi-naked.
- When using Omegle try to go beyond the question "Age / Gender / Residence?" and the "How's it going?". Try to find common interests, such as music or sports, or perhaps popular international news.
- Try to talk about as many interests as possible, so that you can establish a closer bond with your interlocutor.
- Most guys target girls in a nice way, but not necessarily for sexual purposes.
- On Omegle you can have fun and jump from topic to topic without being a troll. Starting a conversation with a trivial, random topic can be fun and can lead to a good conversation.
- A fun way to start a conversation is: "Hello, ASL or AC?", Where ASL means Age / Gender / Residence ?, while AC means True Conversation? And see what they choose.
- On Omegle you can use the search function or add a topic to chat with someone who shares your interests.
Warnings
- Don't divulge your photo or too many personal details.
- For Parents: Sometimes on Omegle you can find topics that are particularly offensive and inappropriate for your children. Do not allow children under 13 to access the site.
