Originally defined as girls who take infinite pictures of themselves being, the term has now also included girls who broadcast live or vlog on a regular basis (adapting to newer technology.)
Girls, usually of high school
age, broadcast themselves in live and recorded video in an attempt to be showered with compliments by online strangers in a chat or comments section with things like "
omg you're so hot." This method allows the girl to feed her incredible natural insecurities without having to be face to
face with online stalkers.
Common "fishing for compliments" techniques are:
1. Saying things like "I look horrible
today"
2. Putting on a ton of eye makeup, yet trying to appear that getting on video was impromptu
3. Making sure that the camera is framed properly so that
cleavage is showing
4. Doing the cliche "smiling yet looking off to the side" look
Camwhores have no substance, only looks. Sometimes they
will try to appear to have witty insight on sage-like advice about life or current events, but in the end it is all about craving attention and compliments.
The best thing to do when you
spot a camwhore online is to not feed it. Doing so
will only perpetuate the behavior.
