I just tested out Chatroutlette and Omegle tonight. Can't say I've used them before.

My preliminary opinion is as follows: they are fantastic tools to build conversational skills or attempt to connect with a stranger given the inherent timeconstraint built into both platforms by the ability to "next".

For example: I had a long chat with a IT guy about social media, Judaism, algorithms, and travel. The bottom line is I got something out of talking to another random human being for 5 to 10 minutes today and it required zero effort.

And I can say it's extremely addictive.

There appears to be a lack of girls on the platform. I only talked to one group of girls in about a half hour. Does anyone have stories related to females to share about either platform. And do you think these platforms are good tools to use to hone "cold approach" or maybe more accurately "cold talking" skills?

Only works if you have a good body/face.
But the chances of you matching with a girl in your area are very slim.

Chatroulette? Isn't that the one which is basically all dudes jacking off?

You know what the best way to build conversational skills and the ability to connect with strangers? Go to a place with lots of people and make conversation with strangers. Aka a bar or club.

Chat roulette is great of you want to check out the latest Kung Fu grip.

The type of female interaction you seek on these platforms has been migrated to a monetized platform years ago.

OP, you're definitely right about these sites being very addictive. Hence why I try to avoid most of them. Omegle can be a cesspool and total sausage fest as well, but, believe it or not I've actually met quite a few girls on it. Whenever I do go on, I just mess around on the guitar while keeping it open as a tab until a fish finally bites. This way, I can be doing something productive instead of aimlessly clicking next hoping for a girl to stop. And most girls like guys who play an instrument, which is what helped spark interest in them.

I would argue sites like this definitely help with Game since they force you to talk to random people, which can be slightly uncomfortable
for some people.

Also, a friend of mine who lives in South America met his ex girlfriend on one of these sites, so it is definitely possible to meet people imho.

Ok, I was more referring to cold conversational skills and just talking to girls in general. Not funding a girl on there local, that's unrealistic.

Ok I get that, I do that plenty, but not all the time can I be at a bar or club. I was just wondering if it's a resource to work on conversational skills.

Really? What platforms out of curiosity. Yeah I think the glory days are over.

Yes, addictive. I've only used once, but the conversations can be fun. Seem to be way more dudes on here than women. Again, also prefer chatroulette to omegle myself, like you said. The guitar instrument is a good idea.

Sometimes I'm a bit uncomfortable talking to strangers so it may be a good help for me rather than being on the forum or aimlessly watching youtube.

Very interesting your friend met his gf on there, i'm sure that's pretty rare these days.
