My experiments with omegle

Stranger: asl?
Me: 19f England
u?
Stranger: Im from England too
whats your name?
Me: Sarah
Stranger: Are you a Muslim?
Me: No. Why do you ask so?
Stranger: The name sounds like that.
Me: Are you kidding me? Tell me the truth where you are from
(True story)

And this goes on... 

Omegle is perhaps the most hilarious example of individual behaviour. To those who don't know what omegle is (you might reconsider getting out of kindergarten), it is a website which allows users to chat anonymously. One of my favourite pastimes is experimenting with omegle. I assume any age, any sex and any nationality and I go about saying different things and gathering different perspectives and opinions. Of course, most of the chats turn out to be nonsense but sometimes, chats get sensible and gives me a glimpse of how people think about different things and people. In omegle, there is always a 50 percent chance that the person chatting on the other end bears a fake identity. Everyone knows this thing. It is interesting to observe how a guy caught in a conversation with a girl will never go back, inspite of the omegle uncertainty principle. 

One more interesting feature that omegle bears is the "try spy (question) mode". In this, you can post a question and see two strangers chat and discuss about that topic. Trying this feature would have been more worthwhile if the majority of omegle users were not perverted cheapskates (yeah! you would probably think I am one too. GTFO). As one of my friend voices, somehow I too feel  omegle is a wasted boon.

If anyone has made any interesting observations regarding this subject, feel free to share with us.

  1. Good one..
    Kind of correction: More than 90% are fake.
    One thing I really don't understand about Omegle is that 90% of those perverts are guys and more surprisingly, more than 70% are Indians. It really makes me sad.
    Bloody wasted boon - you are right!

    1. yeah! lol. Indians are caught in for all the wrong reasons. This stuff also happened with another Indian guy only. He went on to say he is studying in Staffordshire state university (I never knew Britain had no states until I looked it up. lol). If you are desperate of hooking up a chat on omegle,it is best to assume an American or German form. not that you would but just throwing out some tips for whoever wants to pick them up... (And Vineel, you should report to us your findings on this topic :P)
