I haven't used CM for anything other than casual entertainment and information for the past three months. Prior to that I had begun searching through the personals for a future sub, out of the 200 or so messages I sent, I got replies from about 40. Why the desparity? Well, about 100 of them were drive by accounts. In other words, they were accounts made by people who never came back to cm, or stayed for such a short period of time that they never read my message. Some were also sock puppets, additional accounts set up by a single user for varying reasons from scamming to spaming and so on. Of the replies I did recieve, about half were typed up in some broken bastardized mutation of english that was barely readable. The ones that had a sense of continuity were generally just looking for a sugar daddy or an "online" relationship. So finally we come to the final batch, the group that was coherent, reasonably articulate, and actually responded with more than "hi ". Of those messages, all but one turned into a flowing conversation with very interesting women who were intelligient and a genuinely enjoyable time sink. Using CM to meet people either online or in person is perfectly fine, but be aware that the search feature is not a laser guided missle. More like a hand grenade, you throw it out there and see what you hit. You will have more immediate results in the real world. As many have said allready, do not let cm be your only tool, try other dating sites fetish or non, get active in your local scene, and be vigilant. I suspect you will have more luck converting a civilian to the dark side than recruiting one out of the digital world. Good luck.
