Status: offline 		I was just curious about the process in finding this website. I could have made the poll a lot longer with many different options but these are the 3 most general answers. Feel free to expound upon your vote.

For myself, I found the site on my own after attempting to wade through a few other kink-oriented personals with fora(plural of forum, yes?). I've mentioned it to a few people whom I know to be interested in this lifestyle but that's really it.

Status: offline 		A friend told me she met her dominant (at that time) about CM, and had to check it out for myself.  Although I have yet to meet the dominant or submissive of my dreams, I've made alot of great friends here.  Both in real life, and online.

Status: offline 		A Dom that didn't work out told me about it. Then he saw my profile (with pictures) and sent me an email wanting to meet! I thought that was hilarious. But I have since thanked him for telling me about the site as it has worked for me.

Status: offline 		ReflectiveSoul (a friend in real life) kept bugging (and bugging and bugging!) me to read her posts here on the forums for some time and telling me that I would really like it here. So I started peeping at her posts just as a guest. Then she started bugging me to answer them and pipe in, which meant setting up a profile. I really didn't want to, I wasn't looking for anyone or anything. Finally, I broke down and said ok.

Ummmmm, ya, right. Met some great people, my closest friends, probably pissed a person or 2 or 10 off and met Lumus, who's now my Daddy/Husband and I've moved 2300 miles to Ontario, Canada.   Not too shabby for not wanting to originally be here, huh?

Status: offline 		I've been on the 'net since 1996.  I've looked at lots of things.  Believe I found CM 5-ish years ago but not 100% sure of that.  I was in a vanilla marriage but knew that wanting D/s is a part of who I am, so I educated myself.  When I got separated, I decided to post a profile on CM.  Then was in a relationship(WIth a person I met once years back but re-met on here), in which I gave and the male accepted my deference, thus I essentially didn't get on CM for a number of months as I'd not yet begun reading and participating on the message boards or developing the network of friends that I have been developing of late.  :>

Status: offline 		I found it on my own. I'd been an IRC chatter for yearsssssss but got very very tired of the drama so I began looking for a different style and stumbled upon CM! Yay! At first I used the chat rooms (until I was banned for being rude, seriously I was lol) then migrated to the delightful forums where I lurked for months before getting the nerve to actually post.
