For every man that suggests this as a genuine pre-date ritual to get acquainted with the other person, there's a creep that suggests it so he can beat off under the table for free.
I try not to judge people who are into certain freaky things, but it's not cool when you use a dating site to non-consensually get your rocks off to unsuspecting victims.
I do kind of feel t's a sneaky freaky agenda to this video chat request and that's why she is so anxious to do it LOL
You have to give OP credit. He's been at this phone/online dating thing for 15 years with nothing to show for it, but he keeps on plugging away, never changing his approach or rigid expectations!
Met this girl online and she wants to know until we meet can we do video chatting? I'm like......"what's wrong with the phone? I'm not trying to tie up my computer to see someone's face on the computer. Has anyone communicated this way?
I'm not ready to be like the Jetsons. Lol
It isn't this complicated, if you do not want to video chat then don't and tell her you are limited to the phone.
If you do not have a camera on your computer or you do not have a smart phone you can't video chat anyway.
I only see the point in video chatting if it's with someone you won't be able to meet in person for a long time (due to distance, for example). Otherwise, why not just get together? If you have time to video chat, you have time to grab a drink.

That was my point nearnorth, she lives right over the bridge from me lol
Maybe she just wants to see what you really look like and act like before meeting in person. Photos can be very misleading, whereas video chat is very revealing of personality and appearance.
I don't like phone conversations as I miss too much in the way of facial expression and body language, so if we're going to talk before meeting, I'd much prefer a video chat.

True, but you know what's even more revealing of personality and appearance? Meeting in person. It sounds like she lives near him. They can easily meet for a drink or coffee like normal human beings. If she doesn't like his personality or appearance she can make up an excuse to leave after 30-40 minutes and she never has to see him again. I suppose that involves slightly more effort than clicking a couple of buttons, but would you really want to date someone who isn't willing to put forth that minimal amount of effort? I'd view it as a bad sign of things to come.
As I said before, it would be different if she lived far away and meeting in person was going to involve a great deal of time and expense.
