Q. What exactly is "TheSystemTM"?

Everyone you hear on TheSystemTM is a member.  You will hear greetings from men looking for men, women looking for women, bi-curious, trans-sexuals, transgender, drag queens, and everyone in between.  Voice conveys more cues about our true selves. The person speaking can give much more information about what you are trying to say.  TheSystemTM is a “no-hate zone” and everyone is welcome!

 

Q. What phone number do I use to call TheSystemTM  ?

Q. If I’m not gay, can I call the line?

A. Yes, of course!  We have a lot of callers who consider themselves not gay.  The voice can be one of the best ways to convey sexual orientation.  Detecting sexual orientation is more accurate when hearing a voice and even more so than in-person. It is absolutely impossible in the sterile environment of a text or chat box.  Anyone can call TheSystemTM; we just ask that you be respectful of others.  TheSystemTM is a “no hate zone” and we have a zero tolerance against bullying.

 

Q.  Are there restrictions on who can call TheSystemTM?

A. Using our voice less, some have suggested that this causes us to be lonelier and socially isolated.  Be positive and self-affirming.  And all callers must be 18 years of age or older.  Other than that, everyone is welcome to call TheSystemTM.   We just ask that you be respectful of others.  TheSystemTM is a “no hate zone” and we have a zero tolerance against bullying.

 

Q. Can I talk to people in my area only?

A. TheSystemTM is a national chatline with callers from all over the country.  You just never know who you are going to meet.  Make sure to say a little bit about yourself in your greeting and who you are looking to meet.

 

Q. Is TheSystemTM a dating line?

A. What’s nice about TheSystemTM is you can use it for your own desires.  You can use TheSystemTM as a dating line, if you happen to meet the right person.  TheSystemTM is a great place for you to exchange messages and ideas with callers who have similar interests and to chat live.  You can share your accomplishments, share with others about your day.  TheSystemTM can be simply about phone sex.  TheSystemTM is designed to be a safe and secure environment to communicate with others.  We have created a totally anonymous and secure chat line for your enjoyment.
